I'm not saying everyone needs to be some crazy historian that can rattle off obscure facts about George Hackenschmidt, but you would think having a larger frame of reference for one of the industry's biggest stars of the 2000s than just his WWE run should be required if you're getting paid to write and podcast about this stuff for the Observer.

I wasn't watching really at all during Punk's ROH run, and I definitely didn't see ROH when I was watching, but I was able to pick up what was happening when the lyrics started, and then he comes out in the old gear. It was also obviously a big deal by the presentation and reaction, like...I can't understand being that oblivious if you cover this for a living

Beef Jerky Robot posted:Is there any interview process to write for the Observer or is it just like Medium for wrestling For recap stuff no. For this it's because they are on Garrett's podcast which no one listens to. Also: https://twitter.com/CarmineSabia/status/1500628148676964359 Lots of good discourse today from some wild characters.

Carmine had a hand in running some of the early 2000s NJ/PA area indies and is now a right-wing grifter, so this is perfectly on par with the level of dumb poo poo he vomits up on Twitter

I had never seen Punk's ROH entrance because I was out of wrestling from 2002 until AEW formed, but even I was able to put it together really quickly that this had to be a ROH thing. Then commentary said it was a ROH thing. So, you know. And now I have been listening to AFI all this morning.

And from all of this I've found out that Davey Havok's daughter is involved in pro-wrestling now & was trained at the Nightmare Factory apparently. Which...Davey Havok having a daughter old enough to be a trained wrestler makes me feel old.

The sheer amount of "AEW Has No Storylines" takes I see, even from people who like cover wrestling for a job/side hustle, is starting to make me realize maybe WWE doing recaps every 5 minutes is actually necessary

Drakkel posted:The sheer amount of "AEW Has No Storylines" takes I see, even from people who like cover wrestling for a job/side hustle, is starting to make me realize maybe WWE doing recaps every 5 minutes is actually necessary I read a post in CSPAM that thinks part of the reason political cartoons are now labeling everything is because people can't interpret the subtleties anymore like they could in the past, even rather straightforward ones.

I tried listening to the f4w podcast John la Rocca is on once and he had the exact same views as cornette. I could not figure out why a site like f4w would host the exact kind of views Dave constantly talks about being the problem with most bookers.

I get it, the spectacle is a thing. One of my hopes for AEW is they make enough money that Tony starts having weird elaborate stage setups for his PPVs like WWE used to up to like 2011 or so.

Maybe there's wrestling, maybe not, but there's something to experiencing the spectacle for it's own sake.

Credit where it's due, WWE does at least have a nice looking stage and lighting. It'd be nice if AEW could pull off something like that but it probably costs a shitload of money
