Regal played a couple of billion dollar organizations against each other to get a higher payday? Sounds like a hero to me.

Lol PWI awards issue dropped and Mandy Rose won Most Improved Looking past no she wasn't in a million years but following after WWE kicked her out is just funny.

His promotion, AEW, and it's talent is the dominant popular promotion here by about 20 to 1 if not higher.

Pillowpants posted:Does AEW do any of the hardcore stuff ECW used to do , or luchadores? Short answer, yes & yes. Longer answer, they do hardcore stuff in various guys but no where as often as ECW, & when they do it's generally for storyline reasons rather than just because that's the extent of what Sandman can do. They definitely don't have the same number of meandering walk & brawls through the crowd that ECW had, & I say that as someone with a fondness for ECW. To pick one example, there was an amazing tag team steel cage match in 2021 with The Young Bucks against The Lucha Bros. There were thumbtacks, it was a bloodbath, but it was also a super exciting wrestling match. They also have a match, Blood & Guts, which is very much WCW Wargames, which is cool. Oh, Chris Jericho did a deathmatch with a former CZW wrestler, Nick Gage, that was wild. As for luchadores, yeah, they have several. There are the aforementioned Lucha Bros, Fenix & Penta El Zero Miedo, IRL brothers, there's Rush & Dralistico, another pair of brothers, they used Mascara Dorada last year. So it's there but not massively prominent. The Japanese wrestlers are much more prominent.

History Comes Inside! posted:There are millions of WCW fans who just stopped watching wrestling entirely when the company got bought, they’ve just been waiting for the evil Vince McMahon to be deposed I've heard that a lot of the "missing millions" number is inflated and that mostly people flipping back and forth between the 2 shows is what inflated that number.

Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley had a deathmatch that was the most brutal deathmatch ever aired on a major company. It however was not called a deathmatch just a Lights Out match. Go watch it. Do not look up Moxley v Omega deathmatch. That was... a whole different thing we all would prefer not to remember.

AEW has some great wrestling and you should definitely check it out if you haven't watched for a while. You have nothing to lose. I am going to say maybe don't feel bad if you don't like the stories because they aren't everyone's cup of tea but there is nothing you can say about the quality of work.
