Isn't That Right, Chairman?



When Hendrix's allegations against Lethal first came out, someone tried to tell not to put any stock in them because 'she had a reputation for being crazy so they were probably untrue.'

Same energy here from coconono.

THAT'S what wrestling is SUPPOSED to be!!!!!!!!!!

They're right, we should petition AEW and the Coward Anthony Khan to book at least one match longer than 30 minutes each month. I mean, WWE manages this feat, why can't the so-called competitor?

(It is very funny to me how Tony seems terrified of going over 30 while WWE has Orton/Edge go for 45 minutes and Cole/O'Reilly for more than an hour, but AEW has matches that are too long)

Didn't Raw or Smackdown last week have a match that went 25 minutes and ended in a countout? Cocaine Tony Khan would never have the balls to pull that off and that's why this company's in the drat state it's in

Eh, some matches go too long, that's just a fact. This is not a comment on Full Gear which I haven't seen yet, but as a basic rule there really shouldn't be many matches on a show that go over 20 minutes. Then you get into pandemic New Japan problems where everything lasts 5 minutes than it should except Takagi matches, because he's unimpeachable.

See for example Jado vs Toru Yano which managed to go minutes too long despite being 9 minutes long. Oh gently caress, just reminded myself that Gedo Okada went 15 for some loving reason, that NJ Cup 2020 sure was horrendous at times

Having watched Full Gear I would say some of the matches did a little longer than they could have (like the Lucha Bros FTR match) I'm not going to lose my mind over it though

I feel like maybe the Falls Count Anywhere dragged a bit toward the end and there were a lot times where it felt like guys were just waiting to break up a pin, but the overall match was still fun so I don't really care all that much.

I think for me, the show would have been better if they arranged the matches differently. I think the first 4 matches were really good, but then things slowed down with the Cody/Pac/Andrade/Malakai match because of the blind tag/partners who can't get along stories they were telling. Britt/Tay was okay but nothing spectacular. Punk/Kingston was great, then the Street Fight was another just okay one. A fun mess of a brawl but nothing that made me jump out of my seat.

The first half of the show was definitely the more fun watch for me and the second half kind of started to drag at points. I think match lengths are less an issue and maybe we just don't need 9 matches every PPV.

Every match should be exactly 14 minutes. I have done the calculations. In unrelated news I drink soylent for every meal and only wear new clothing because shipping overseas is more efficient than laundry.

Is their complaint that Danielson isn't immediately getting the shot at Page on the very next TV show? Or that Kenny isn't getting an immediate rematch? I literally don't understand what they're mad at.

What does "back to square one" even mean in this context? Back to the guy who wrestles all the time, wrestles very good matches, and will eventually wrestle for the World Title... continuing to wrestle matches?

So Adam Page beat Kenny Omega just to lose to Bryan so that Kenny could beat Bryan and regain the belt? Because Kenny refuses to lose to Bryan?

Somebody do a study on how many conspiracy theorists are also extremely online wrestling fans, I feel like this dude also thinks black helicopters are spraying chemicals on his house.

They're mad that Danielson is wrestling someone who isn't a main eventer, because WWE brain poison has trained wrestling fans to believe that it somehow kills main eventers if they ever share a single goddamned second of screen time with someone who isn't on their level.

There's probably also a bit of "every single match on every single show HAS to be between people who are feuding because NOBODY wants to watch just RANDOM MATCHES for NO REASON! BEcause nobody watches wrestling to see wrestling, god fuckin dammit!" in it as well
