JUNGLE BOY posted:a good story is when want to fight your opponent because they tried to poison you or they created a new compound that made your balls and butt really hot and hurt Those are great, but have you considered if Suzuki was actually in America to advance his dream of becoming a world famous country and western singer and Joe took issue with it because it's offensive to his hero Dolly Parton, and we could get Suzuki to try to sing in a Japanese accent, and the climax of the match would be a dwarf lady in a blonde wig and big fake boobs hitting Joe on the head with a guitar (no reason or explanation will be provided for Dolly's heel turn). Now that's storytelling pal.

MassRafTer posted:Hopefully most of those requirements weren't removed. They don't need to hold an ambulance on stand by anymore, and a wrestling school (or promoter?) basically gets licensed to put on the shows (I don't believe competitors need a license themselves). Not sure about the state taking 6% of the gate + $1 per ticket, I'm also not very good at reading these things but I liked the last line of the bill: "The legislature finds that Washington is ready to rumble." https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2017-18/Pdf/Bills/House%20Passed%20Legislature/1420-S.PL.pdf#page=1

Someone named AEW Fritz Von Erich asking for a more sports based presentation is rich considering his namesake faked a heart attack to sell tickets after one of his sons died

Being 14 is wishing for your dumb hobby to go back to an era when it was respectable in people's eyes, being an adult is realising it was never respectable and enjoying it for that reason.

clearly there are no shenanigans in aew at all (i think the real answer is that they lean harder into typical sports “tropes” like tournaments/cups and records, and have a bit of a stronger emphasis on matchups that are just two athletes competing to be the best rather than leaning into things like the miz having a “talk show”)

I think a lot of it is people who just kind of assumed that AEW would be New Japan But In America and I don't think that was ever gonna be the thing and the fact that people are still apocalyptically mad that it didn't turn out to be the thing they imagined in their head is kind of wild.

I'm relatively sure that by "sports based" all that was ever meant was "longer matches, and we record wins and losses"

They were probably hoping that "sports based" meant they'd have sports gimmicks, like a wrestler who's a baseball player, one who's a football player, one who's a golfer, etc.

Venomous posted:AEW Is Bad Because It's Not WWE It's not just that, I think WWE weirdos are genuinely mad that AEW is better than WWE. They get angry that news sites and podcasts are talking it up while simultaneously talking about how poo poo WWE is and since they have this weird tribalism, they assume that means war and must just make weird poo poo up to support their views. Dr. Baker posted:I thought the main complaint about AEW was that they don't have any stories. But also that it's too violent, and that they hire only WWE rejects, and they have no stars, and Adam Cole is buried, and CM Punk was never good, and they don't have any POC representation, and they're exposing the business, and their roster is too bloated, and and and...
