Do the stages look cool in WWE anymore? It looks like a bunch of screens and AR poo poo.

obviously we can make do without that weird AR garbage. I mean to put it this way, if you showed some AEW entrances to people who haven't watched wrestling in years and said "this is WWE" they would probably say "what the gently caress happened?". The superficial look of AEW is small scale by comparison to the big flashy setup of WWE which isn't a priority for people (like me) who are mainly concerned with whether the show is actually good, but it's probably something that would pull a few extra eyeballs in the long run

This is the same guy that not too long ago said that Jungle Boy having Tarzan Boy as his entrance theme would not help him get over. He has some pretty bad opinions.

Edit: Rosa replied with a video pretty much supporting your point about ignoring the rest of the entrance.

I missed the entrance because I think I was either getting snacks or going to the bathroom in between matches since there weren't really built-in breaks in the show (though I did voluntarily miss like 85% of the tornado trios match to take the dogs out), but it kind of looks like she's just looking serious rather than sad and then becomes more animated halfway through the entrance?

I dunno. Weird stuff to fixate on, but that's wrestling fans.

Yeeeaaahhh. Their reviews can be fun to watch, especially with people who don't really follow wrestling but like to watch it when hanging out or make jokes or whatever, but a solid 30% of the content in each review is just gross and cringey. I think they've gotten better over the years but they can still get weird and lecherous at times talking about women's bodies. They do also talk about men's bodies and gear and stuff but they do it in a MUCH different way.

There was like a whole thing where they'd kept making fun of her in videos for being upset that they and their fans wouldn't leave her alone about the sex tape, also.

In comparison, the AEPodcast guys have recently talked about their comments re: Sable when they were looking at the Attitude Era proper, since she's started to appear in the 97~early 98 period they're currently covering.

Adam Biblo specifically said he's ashamed and regretful of what he said, and they've admitted that their vitriol towards her was due to things that weren't really her fault. They're building up to a re-review of WM14, including revisiting their first ever episode, and they said they're dreading what sort of poo poo they'll be saying.

They've also been very complimentary of Sunny during the period they're covering, focusing on how much of a utility player she was, and while they've made some allusions to her recent troubles, I don't think they've mentioned her sex tape or porn site at any point. As I recall, the only thing they've mentioned is that "In Bed with Sunny" thing she did a few years ago but that's about it.

I also remember some transphobic Chyna jokes they made in the early days that they've definitely come to regret later on. It's almost like some people are able to grow up and regret the lovely things they did when they were young while some people just embrace it forever for no good reason.

You don't love the cheeky way they say "Noggers" knowing it sounds like the "N" word but they can get away with it because it is the name of an ice cream bar?
I wonder if the picture of Virgil is still attached to the definition of "Noggers" on their dictionary of inside jokes on their website.
