Years of WWE being people's only wrestling really did a number on them.

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


Remember, AEW's wrestling is simultaneously unrealistic flippy poo poo and unprofessionally brutal.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

so about six years ago I replied to a tweet by Chris Jericho in keeping with his storyline at the time:

https://twitter.com/Venomous9/status/796023069148069888

and I completely forgot that I tweeted that until I received these replies from out of the blue this afternoon:

https://twitter.com/DunCan40816106/status/1582429567972958209

and if you look at the guy's timeline, he's been systematically replying to years-old tweets for the past few hours about a team from six and a half years ago that *checks notes* broke up after four weeks

https://twitter.com/DunCan40816106/status/1582443307141017600

more power to him I guess, someone has to be a Y2AJ mark in 2022 (even if Chris Jericho has disavowed the Y2J part of the name nowadays lmao), and he's relatively harmless compared to most everyone else itt, but still, lmao

I can kind of understand that. Not wanting to see matches broken up by commercials is pretty much why I subbed to Fite and haven't looked back. The first Blood and Guts was my breaking point.

It'd be nice if AEW put up the uncut versions of the big matches on YouTube a couple weeks later or something for the failing picture-in-picture losers though. They don't deserve it, but it'd be a nice gesture.

Eh I do skip towards the end of some matches on occasion even without ads. The exception rather than the rule though, but I did it for example in the Embassy match

There weren't any WWE matches worth watching until Chris Benoit went there and none of those matches are worth watching now either.

I'm trying too to think of matches between Bret Hart leaving and Royal Rumble 2000 that are honest to God must watch matches start to finish and the only one that comes to mind is Dude Love/Austin from Over the Edge 1998

Beaten to this. Halftime Heat is good too, but this is one of the best matches of 1999, no question.

Otherwise uhhh apparently Rock and Austin had a banger at Backlash 99? Probably not as good as their WM17 match tho lmao.
