It's true. WWE is rich with young talent that is either underutilized or made to look like lovely geeks

about the only thing wwe has done kind of well recently is create female stars. they don't always succeed, but Bianca/Liv/Rhea have all gotten pretty over

i never know what those people want wrestling to be. like it's completely realistic for there to be some guy from another country who is really good at wrestling and he comes over and gives the Best Wrestler in whatever company trouble. so maybe they want it to be like an anime with power levels but even goku ran into random strong dudes nobody knew about. dunno who could possibly be upset by any of this. that person says people will be upset by it but its like literally 3 people on twitter, including them.

You're right - to them WWE isn't a team in a greater ecosystem, like the Lakers, but the whole NBA itself. Anything outside that is weird and confusing to them.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Guys, it's really simple. Konosuke Takeshita is a no-name scrub who shouldn't be in matches with Moxley, or he's the ace of DDT who shouldn't be losing so much. His matches are short squashes that make him look terrible, or much too long and competitive for a newcomer against the champ. They're pointless because the outcome is obvious, or him getting near falls on Mox makes Mox look like a chump.

Either way it's terrible for Mox or Takeshita or AEW and Tony Khan should be ashamed.

Swerve didn't even go to the main and most people who saw his matches pre-AEW are more likely to have seen him as Killshot in LU

that's actually the funniest thing about it. Swerve had exactly 1 match on Smackdown, a tag match with Top Dolla where they squashed some jobbers in a minute and a half, and that was his last match in the company because then the entire group was released

Lord they be mad at r/Jimcornette

quote:

This is insulting. At least Scotty 2 Hotty was a wonderful worker. Watch his Backlash 2000 match with Dean Malenko. Probably the best match both men had in their WWF runs. Hell, might have been the best WWF match of 2000 from a technical standpoint.
Orange Cassidy will never have 1/12 of the talent Scotty 2 Hotty had.
I'd say "Remember when Randy Orton had a 5 star classic with James Ellsworth?" because he's way more comparable to Cassidy than Scotty is. Scotty is an incredible wrestler who leaves behind a legacy of being one of the most popular and beloved mid carders of the late 90s and early 2000s. Meanwhile Cassidy is a fad and will burn out soon. Dude is a one trick pony. Meanwhile Scotty has had loads of great matches with big names.

——
I wanted to give AEW another chance tonight and regretted it quickly. Can't wait to hear Jim address the stupidest thing I've ever seen inside of a wrestling ring. Could Tony Khan be any more incompetent at this point?

——
When the chainsaw came out, I checked out. Turned it off. If AEW is going the comedy/insulting/embarrassing route, then I'm done. I'll come back to AEW if they ever get their act somewhat together like they were 6-9 months ago. Until then, goodbye AEW. Toss them on the scrap heap on top WWE.

——
Based on this booking, would it really be nuts betting on, say, Riho going over Wardlow after kicking out of 3 power bombs; and Uncle Dave giving it 5 stars while Bleacher Report grades it an A-?

——
Thank God I grew up with JCP. I refuse to watch any of these shows they call wrestling.

Top Dolla's run makes it even funnier considering his post callup tweets went from company bootlicking to trashing the competition to trashing his co-workers to defending his co-workers to getting released within the space of a few weeks.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I'd cut @ThisIsNasty some slack because he's proven again and again that he just lives in the WWE bubble, but then again he claims to be a wrestling journalist so he should know this poo poo.

It's still wild to me that he gets the fast nationals leaked to him by WWE. He's an absolute nobody in the grand scheme of things, you'd think they'd at least use Ryan Satin or something to send those things out.
