ugh, thanks guys, I was about to go read posts from June to see whether or not wrestling was good and you've spoiled them.

Gaz-L posted:What's the cut off, though? Do we still tag this match tomorrow because someone was saving it for the weekend? Typically the assumption with widely available tv is it's no longer s spoiler after airing, any more than the score for a football game is after the game has ended. Maybe give people 24 hours? Not as a rule, just as being considerate. I'm not massively bothered by spoilers myself because I'm a moron with no impulse control & instinctively open Twitter in the middle of a show I can't watch live so have long gotten chill about wrestling spoilers, but it would be nice for people to remember that people on this forum live in many different timezones across the world.

Is it such a huge ask to say have done personal responsibility. If you don't want to see spoilers just don't read threads where is obvious the outcome will be discussed until after you have seen the show. Are you mad that the outcome of dynamite is in the op of the aew weekly thread? This thread is specifically for laughing about people's terrible takes about wrestling and it's obvious after raw or dynamite or Peter Pan that people will be laughing about people's terrible opinions about the show that just happened.

I've seen different threads handle it differently. In the Doctor Who thread if it's aired then it's not a spoiler and you can type it up though. My solutions is to just not post anything except stuff that is inane. The signature of my posts.

Not to say he never had a good match in WWE, but it's not like they really pushed him that way. You'd have to venture outside of the bubble to really see him doing consistently great work. Still sad we never got World Champ Regal back when it looked like the stars were aligning for that.

I remember when Regal had a match with Goldberg. Unfortunately that match was too god and thus made Goldberg look bad and got in trouble. Don't get me wrong, I love it when Goldberg does two moves and wins but Regal having a more competitive match with him will forever be funny to me for the sheer drama it caused outside of the match.

Just go offline on Thursdays for a bit mate, find a hobby, collect some figurines, go to the nzpwi forums. Americans are not going to spoiler tag their poo poo for an arbitrary amount of time just so you can keep forever scrolling on SA.

It’s also a very boring way of looking at wrestling I think: there are plenty of people who add value in wrestling that weren’t the best wrestlers ever. Plus as in everything the best people behind the scenes aren’t always the best people at doing that thing: identifying talent, training people etc are identifiably different skills and sometimes people that are not good at doing something can be very good at teaching it and vice versa. I think back to a Danielson interview I saw a while ago when he was asked about training people and he basically said that he couldn’t do it because he wasn’t able to explain what he did and I thought that was very interesting.

That was super confusing. I saw the clown post but thought it had been in the AEW thread (which I guess it was), then saw it here and figured I just thought I had seen it in the wrong thread initially. Here's a harmless bad take from an old friend: https://twitter.com/mkurtz91/status/1477493834506506242 Very few times have there been matches where Lesnar "had to win". WWE fans just want the same poo poo shoveled into their mouths every week, it's incomprehensible.

I didn't dislike the match, but it was 8 minutes of finisher spam followed by yet another drat Lesnar title win. Hurr durr perfect booking. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

It's the the most pompous English accent you can think of saying something like "imagine if all those woke people who wanted to cancel Will Ospreay got their way, we wouldn't have had this perfect moment" about some loving RevPro match like 200 people have watched ever.
