Orange Cassidy is great because his "serious gimmick" is him dressing up like an angry ant man.

Does anyone have that behind-the-scenes clip from the 3-way AEW match where they had them all getting ready for their match and whoever it was missed every single basketball shot he was trying to make and everyone was laughing at him for it?

Outside of personal tastes, getting a serious "When WWE won the Monday Night Wars they turned to poo poo, TNA had a chance to be an alternative and they hosed everything up maybe even worse than WCW, and I'm not going to be hurt and disappointed again." vibe here. In any case, my next posts will be my take on one of the main reasons many, many people feel the WWE turned to poo poo: John Cena.

There's only one burnt out WWE guy and that's Jericho although he isn't even really a WWE guy since he started in WCW and was even in ECW for a while Maybe Mark Henry and Big Show too but they're not wrestling, they're backstage helping out young talent and sometimes doing chill commentary on the YouTube shows

a lot of the people having good matches in aew are the exact same people who had good matches in all those other promotions, so uh ok sure meanwhile some of those good match havers went to wwe instead and got completely ruined. prince puma was considered BEST IN THE WORLD and IMPOSSIBLE TO gently caress UP and you better believe vince found a way, that guy loving sucks now he is not nearly the only one who sucks

having a cable show isn't a small thing according to Paul Heyman, losing that was a big factor in ECW going under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO1oFYqatks

Huge Indy darling, had like a tiny, witty bitty WWE run? C something? John Moxley TAZ. Look, I'm just saying there's a lot of overlap. You need stars to draw. I get that. You need a show to grow, I get that too. Kahn is kind of a money mark, that's okay. But be logical about the actual profit/loss sheets here. What's the break even? When do they expect to hit profitability? Did bringing in guys like John Moxley and CM Punk actually cause an increase in revenue? Because they sure as gently caress aren't cheap. It was said in this thread earlier, that AEW is a $100 million vanity project for a billionaire bachelor nerd. If the people right under him aren't scrambling to answer those questions before the piggy bank runs out, they're going to be left holding the bag. Because Tony is just going to burn cash and have his dream matches and put Sting in the main event or whatever until his budget is used. It's on borrowed time. But I genuinely hope it does well and makes money. Trollologist fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Mar 4, 2022 |

I swear they're just copying tweets from the bad take thread lol I think the only thing I haven't seen yet is "leaving the WWE is betrayal and going to THE ENEMY" Oh wait there's also like "they were great wrestlers when they were in WWE but now they're in another company and that makes them bad wrestlers but if they went back to WWE they'd instantly be great wrestlers again"

The only AEW wrestlers I like are Joey Janela because everyone hates him and I dont know why he was excellent on the first two PPV things. I also like Kyle O'riely because he is the living embodiment of that type of neighbouhood kid that was held back a grade, maybe two, that was super into martial arts and was a bit off but gave no fucks and would walk around in pilled up track pants at like 14 years old when everyone else was trying to be cool but this slow learner just wanted to do his karate and hapkido kata forms he learned from a book he got from the library. Love that energy about him. I like Mark Henry because he can lift that inch barbell and therefor probably has a ferocious j/o game where he has to restrain himself like bruce banner fighting to not let out Devil Hulk. I like marko stunt but tony soft fired his rear end and would rather do drugs and tweet than advance the career of someone who needs a few more legs up. I like 2.0 because I've never once seen them but I know they are quebecois and them folk need someone to look up to after Dino Bravo was murdered in his front doorway and my local (anglo) news anchors would not stop laughing about it on air when announcing his death. Mjf: cool and good. Pack is ok I guess. I liked that one hardass japanese woman with the short hair but i guess she didnt get a job with the company because Tony has no eye for talent. Everone else sucks. The following people suck the worst. Colt Cabanda. Never liked him. Dont know him, but know that I dont like him Luchasaurs. Worst pre chokeslam choke ever. Brodie lee. terrible wwe guy when he was one. awful beard. sick of him both in his mortal and post mortal phases of his career. Wish he would gently caress off. Nick Comoroto. he's like an actual biological caveman or something but isnt famous? How do you gently caress that up? He must suck. Stu grayson: The worst kind of quebecois. You know the type. The loving _worst_. I wish ill things upon him. Wrestled in probably the most fun wrestling match I've ever seen in my life in person, it was delightful. Still really dont like him. Also Alex Marvez, I will never get over his old haircut. You can still see it on him as like a spiritual remnant. Glad he is soaking up toneys money to be worthless through. Still really sucks. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Mar 4, 2022 |

I feel like it's a common kinda issue for a lot of industries where the immovable juggernaut of the medium produces mostly garbage but has a near-monopoly that any competition looks good just for the contrast and not being bullshit in all of the same ways.
