In one of the hottest periods for American wrestling ever, WCW Greed had 50,000 buys and an attendance of 5,030; I view WCW die-hards around that time as cabin-dwelling weirdos talking poo poo on Vince over ham radio.

I think when AEW first started, a lot of people dreamed that it was going to be exactly the kind of wrestling they wanted. For some it was "NJPW But American" for others it was "Exactly Like Wrestling Was When They Personally Were 10". Then when AEW turned out to not be that, a lot of those people took it personally.

Basically. And like, it's OK to be disappointed it isn't the thing you would like the best. Hell, I'd probably like it more if it was NJPW But American (and with a real budget) but criticising it for not being that isn't really productive. There's totally things you can still criticise, but I always try really hard not to rag on something for not being something it isn't trying to be.

AEw has rightfully gone with a mix of styles, being Southern style in places, NJPW in places, DDT in places, Deathmatches in places...etc... If it was just one it'd probably be worst for it in terms of American TV

If you want NJPW but American you can always join us weirdos as we watch New Japan Strong

It's so hard for me to fathom that people waste so much time thinking about a promotion they dislike, just loving joyless pricks. AEW wasn't for me, so I ignore it for the most part because there's so much wrestling I enjoy to take up my time and energy

I think "sports-like" just means "presented exactly like how the UFC is presented".

Dr. Baker posted:I thought the main complaint about AEW was that they don't have any stories. The irony being that if AEW was just "New Japan but America" there would be even less "stories" cause these people prove time and time again they have no concept whatsoever of in-ring storytelling.

10 is a small number, and i know how they literally step by step got into that situation. it's just horrendous management to get into that situation where they had to do that. i'm sorry thanx. i'm sorry i freaked out bad. I got pissed off and broke my xbox one controller that i use for pc. i can't play my games now

Lamuella posted:"toilet exploders" I'm really struggling to figure out what a toilet exploder is. As I'm writing this I of course find out that it's just the weirdest way to say rear end I've ever heard. I think I'll adopt that into my vocabulary. E: I definitely googled it first but google didn't help

If you've ever told a joke congrats it was better than this attempt by The Holzerman. https://twitter.com/HorbFlerbminber/status/1512490420776980483 Also what's the over/under on how many tweets it takes for The King to unfollow me.
