That person is the definition of self-centered.

Reseda has been home to many good matches. I feel like PWG would have stayed there forever if it hadn't been torn down.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

IIRC the whole thing started because Danielson called Miz's wrestling "soft" and Miz teed off on him. It sounded kinda rehearsed but there was genuine fire behind it. I kinda remember feeling Miz stood up for himself at a time when WWE was really stamping out independent thought in their ranks. I remember it being absolutely laced with WWE NewSpeak while Rene and Danielson look aghast.

It was a good promo everyone thought was great because the only thing you need to at least be "good" on WWE is to just be something different because of how creatively bankrupt they are. It felt a little different at the time so it stood out.

Tonight's Rampage recap indicates that CSS's recapper thinks the main takeaway from Eddie Kingston's matches against Bryan Danielson and CM Punk is that they were both 100% right and that he's fat and lazy and needs to learn how to work hard, and as such he was disappointed and confused that he didn't lose.

So it's not surprising they had this take, too. (IIRC they also thought that the Nightmare Collective poo poo was good).

Budokan is like a fifteen minute walk too. The whole Japanese wrestling scene being centred in Tokyo is part of what makes Korakuen what it is. You won't see a big American promotion run the same town as often as they did in 2020 unless we get hosed up by another pandemic (or get hosed up by this one again)

Everyone seems worried about if he's making GBS threads on WWE or not, so I guess I'll be the guy to say that he's describing a panic attack. That's literally the only thing he talks about in the thread title. Stop worrying so much about what things say about whichever company you give your money to. His thoughts about this match are always seen as being negative of WWE and everyone ignores the mental health aspect.

Some of these people, not necessarily this guy in particular, seem to me like they're genuinely afraid to watch AEW. Like they're scared that they might actually like it and have something else to watch when WWE shows aren't on.

Yeah I know for some of them they're afraid they'll have to admit that their pre-concieved opinions are wrong and they can't handle being wrong but for some of the others it's baffling.

quote:

A lot of people are just giving into the fad, his storylines are the exact same as old school ones and he’s lost to tons of guys and lost the ability to challenge for the title and has been squashed by two separate guys in big matches. I also think that a certain portion of fans really went hard into hating him after the foreign heel storyline versus Ogogo because “we hate America”. It’s really dumb and clearly a fad and some (not all obviously so don’t jump down my throat) of it is jealousy and just not liking the guy, which I think is irrelevant to good storylines. Overall it’s just very annoying and edgy. I had to stop listening to GIR for the very reason of their over the top reaction to his promo about America and his daughter. You would have thought he killed someone, and it was just over the top and clearly a reaction to what was going on in the country and them trying to appear in the right light by making him the villain and I’m just not interested in people trying to prove how enlightened they are by hating on a character in a wrestling storyline that’s supposed to be escapism and definitely not any different than any of the old school storylines and even current storylines going on in wrestling. No one had an issue with the foreign heel story until Cody did it? That’s bs. I don’t think people will be satisfied even if the guy turns heel it’s basically a huge tantrum and it actually takes away from the other people wrestling him because it becomes entirely about the fans and not the wrestling. And the guys he’s feuding with are great loving wrestlers. I’m just over the overreacting lol

It feels eerily familiar to that recent Cody meltdown.

A pretty baffling list of characters and storylines featured by AEW that "aren't for adults." My brain is broken enough to break it down:

Uh, not sure what the issue is with Japanese female talent. Objectively it seems like Shida, Riho and Yuka almost always gets great reactions on Dynamite. Pretty sure Shida is a proven draw ratings-wise as well.

Teleporting. This was done maybe twice (Hardy's debut + Stadium Stampede) over a year ago. Pretty sure it was done in Impact, definitely done to death by others characters in WWE (Fiend, Taker, etc). Pretty easy to ignore.

lmao the Sue stuff was awesome and totally fit the Best Friends' characters. This is the exact type of humor that makes AEW great imo

Every promotion does silly poo poo for Halloween, pretty easy to excuse/ignore.

I know all of the -1 stuff is in bad faith.

The "alien" and "dinosaur" lines are classics at this point, I think it's been pretty well established via promos, Unrestricted, etc what Kris and Luchasaurus are all about. We are not led in kayfabe to believe they are actually aliens or dinosaurs (versus the Fiend and Alexa Bliss' possessed doll and magic powers which are presented as actually happening). Undertaker was an undead wizard, etc.

The exploding ring was unfortunate but definitely funny. They acknowledged it, played it off, etc. Not sure what it has to do with AEW being "for kids" though.

I think most people were skeptical of Rusev's initial character but it gave us what we have now which owns (and likewise Arcade Anarchy was incredible). Whether the payoff was intentional from the beginning it definitely worked out.

Marko Stunt and Sonny haven't been on Dynamite in quite a while (which sucks, Sonny had that awesome Dark match with Joey). Is the "no legs" thing a reference to the dude in the first DoN Battle Royal? This person probably just watches clips out of context.

I could take or leave the "MJF dance number" but that sort of ridiculousness you get in small doses in AEW which I think is fine.

Mimosa match was a silly gimmick that was appropriate for both characters involved. It's not a staple match of a PPV or anything. Again, small doses.

Dustin Thomas, he was in the first Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing 2019 and somebody bringing it up is a sure sign they don't actually watch and just listen to Cornette, probably on repeat over and over while touching themselves.

I feel like the Japanese girl sentiment is something they’ve remembered from a racist Cornette rant. Also bringing up Freddie Mercury when Emi hasn’t alluded to it since she came back apart from her entrance music and the set up to the corner crossbody seems disingenuous.
