Conrad_Birdie posted:It seems like a more and more common “criticism” of AEW I’m seeing in these tweets is “it’s hard to follow.” And I keep wondering, what is? Are they all just poisoned by WWE so much that a storyline like Hangmam/Omega, which has a new significant chapter every week, confuses them; and they wish the two were just trading wins for two months straight? I have noticed when people on youtube take a serious look at AEW from outside they start by praising the long-term storytelling. Then poo poo on all the stuff I love because they weren't there for the long-term storytelling. I'm looking at you OSW. also, if you don't at least follow a good AEW thread you'll miss a lot of the storytelling they do on youtube and twitter.

It's actually impressive that WWE has trained its fans to be goldfish brained.

Luckily subtext is for cowards and the promos get increasingly explicit as you near the fireworks factory. Like if you don’t understand the Hangman / Omega story at this point there is something wrong with you. They’re flat out recapping it in the promos.

quote:One of the things I hated about the WWE during the short time I watched it (I got introduced to wrestling through TNA; a TNA Original, baby) is how they used to make stale and utterly boring tag-teams out of random wrestlers who had nothing to do with each other just because they were babyfaces.

I just assumed it was a cultural reference to something that I didn't get being American, since they make a lot of references to candy and other stuff that have silly names I've never heard of. If that's why they use that term, though, that sucks!

'Nogger' is a brand of ice cream, to my knowledge it came about with OSW because of a joke that Virgil's suit once looked like the wrapper to one and was hesitant to make the joke at first, but it caught on I guess.

I think this dude might be the dumbest motherfucker you've ever found. Also lets be real, there are some AEW fans that are complete dipshits because dipshits are everywhere. Stupidity is most common element in the universe, so they say.

The origin of the term in their "What [candy] bar does this wrestler look like" They then worked the joke into everything they could: the name for their fanbase, their patreon and their annual awards show.

Thing is, even if we take the "new and shiny" part as true, THEY'RE BOTH NEW AND SHINY RIGHT NOW. we've just had sixteen months without arena wrestling in the USA, fans are crying out for it!

The countdown is on until someone earnestly makes the argument that of course AEW is doing well right now, because it has momentum from a few shows people liked, and you can’t count that because it’s just a fluke and no promotion can sustain consistently good shows.

Otherwise all wrestling would happen under the shadow of the immortal throne of Jim Barnett.

he's not wrong about the tag team complaint, it sucks when wwe does this. however, kingston and mox have a LONG history together and have had a crossway relationship with Penta from when Eddie joined Lucha Bros so uhhhh nothing about it was randomly throwing people together.
