MJeff posted:Do it. Make the KSA analogy. You know you want to. Why would I do that, there's nothing even close to comparable You guys are deflecting and it's really dumb. I wasn't arguing that the companies are similar, just defaulting to more capital as winning is really stupid, regardless of who's involved. I will fully admit that Punk was nothing to me before AEW (stopped watching wrestling for a long time), and myself and the people who watch with me did not really get the hype. Only matches I really liked from him in AEW were v Darby, MJF dog collar, and the Sting trios (maybe I'm broken, but I thought the match with Dustin was not good at all). His old stuff is really good though, watching back through RoH has been great. Anyways, see you at the cage match tonight! E: v Hangman was good too, might have got over the hump without two failed buckshots The Taxman fucked around with this message at 19:49 on May 10, 2023 |

 This feels like a mild but very persistent strain of fed-brain that shows up in any AEW recap. "Let things breathe" is such an annoying way of saying "I don't want too much wrestling in my wrestling show, please recap everything three times."

To some degree I get what they mean in that it can be nice to let the big moments linger (like if someone wins a title you shouldn't just go "straight to the back!") but I didn't feel anything like that was an issue tonight.

Yeah, AEW can definitely get into the habit of rushing away from things too quickly and not letting them breathe but last night was not one of those nights. They also haven't gotten as laughably bad as TNA was at their worst.

Normally there's like 10 seconds.

"Why should the viewer care about any of this?" Perhaps because it means we're going to get a dope BCC vs. Lucha Bros match out of it?

It felt like a good amount of time to me, and definitely better than the week they went off the air just as Takeshita was getting stabbed with the screwdriver. I wonder if that promo from Kenny challenging Mox was meant to be on TV and the timing got hosed or if it was always supposed to be that way.

Just because I am so impressed with The Snob I will post this. He ended his cycle of desperately seeking validation for his wrestling videos. Instead of violently turning on AEW like he did with every promotion for the last half decade he instead got kind of tired of it, announced he didn't like it as much anymore and would mostly watch puro plus some AEW and ROH, and then decided to become a fling golf influencer and buy a tricycle. https://twitter.com/ALeavelle/status/1656711623665414144 He went from easy Chris Regal Memorial Thread Hall of Famer to becoming the first person in the Chris Regal Memorial Thread to ever grow as a person. I salute him, and will welcome him back in 4 months when tricycle season is over and he's angry about wrestling again.

You know, honestly if Tony Khan has decided to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to pay off Warner Brothers, buy fake tickets, pay actors to pretend to be fans at shows, and hire all the best wrestlers in the world just to provide a fabricated great wrestling promotion experience that is only actually enjoyable to me and a few dozen other people in some kind of bizarre performance art Truman Show-esque prank then he has achieved far more than starting a successful wrestling promotion. He's like one of the most fascinating and greatest people who has ever lived.
