MJeff posted:I dunno what to tell you, there's a lot of places for unironic discussion of unironic enjoyment of WWE, the "Ringtime for Hitler" thread probably ain't it. The WWE thread on the wrestling subforum isn't the place to discuss WWE without endless shitposts from people who don't watch? Nobody wants an only positive thread or anything. Just more funny posts like "Ringtime for Hitler" and actual discussion.

The people who like to discuss wwe's stories and matches are forced to skim all the garbage thoughts that don't make any sense in order to find and hear from fellow wwe enthusiasts.

It's much more fun to laugh and make fun of things, especially when they're not very good. That's what made the old TNA threads fun. Invalid Validation posted:What’s there to discuss?

All I can say is that I have not enjoyed WWE since like 2004 and then spent like 10 years slowly realizing I hate watch it until finally stopping all together. Besides the television I don't enjoy the company is also evil. So now what more is there to say?

Luckily the website has the perfect forum for the experience in question, namely Post My Favorite, the solo thread subforum. Imagine it. Exactly the right number of posts, all having the correct amount of love for vince in them? A dream.

Am I mis-remembering or was there not an attempt at a good vibes only fed thread and it died in the arse because once you excise the context of its vile corporate culture, the monstrous perverts at the wheel, and its open contempt for professional wrestling, there is gently caress all to say about WWE? Legitimately what are you supposed to discuss if not the blindingly obvious fact that the last few decades of the product have been identical: here is our guy. He wins a lot. Everybody else rotates along the edge of a weighted wheel, rocketing through the narrow window at the bottom of its circuit where the possibility that they might be relevant flashes like a camera bulb before dimming as they rejoin the throng of pitiable geeks. Also Brock is there, because every now and then the narrative system needs a stakes infusion to stop it from completely bottoming out and falling still. The titles fold and unfold and fold again through a small array of configurations as the tasteless and talentless dipshits who make this garbage try to suck the last crystals of salt from the bones of the past. There's no love for the artform here, it's just a little shadow play, some sleight of hand to rip off the idiots who pay to have it on their networks and the idiots who pay to watch it. This whole putrescent edifice exists to enrich a rapist megalomaniac and his friends; pedophiles, abusers, racists and rapists themselves. It's only ignorance or apathy that can cause someone with a working mind to tolerate this poo poo. Or possibly a strong emotional investment in one or another individual wrestler, strong enough to override every other critical faculty. This is why they sign them and strap them to the wheel, after all. It's beneath contempt. The only redeeming feature is that we get to come on here and laugh at it, or treat it like some curio in the back of an antiques shop from the far future, a dim orb through which we can observe the central lessons of the 21st Century: the powerful will never suffer meaningful consequences, capital has hollowed out the things that you once loved in the name of machinic profit systems, and the only way to tolerate the state of the world is through some combination of idiocy and insanity. Ha! Ha! Otis is fat! The model faction think the fat man is hot!

Genuinely what is there to discuss about the WWE product? Like sure LA Knight is fun and sometimes they have good matches despite themselves but the entire company is a miasma of bad booking and making GBS threads on fan favorites.

This thread doesn't ban folks that say they liked something on a WWE show. Hell it wouldn't ban something for praising Vince - but it would allow other folks to disagree with sentiments like that. So it sounds like you actually already have what you want. Don't blame folks for not talking the way you want - if you wanna discuss something let's discuss it. But it sounds like that's already the state of things.

Somebody once told me Tony was gonna blow me And the Elite would all poo poo the bed Kenny looking like a clog got bitten for a dog Mox will bleed out all the way till he's dead Well the rating's dropping and it don't stop dropping The numbers in freefall your promotion is flopping Booking's nonsense there's no sense of fun Just for the smarks that is really dumb Too much to learn, the history So where's all the vid recaps for me? I'll never know, won't have a go I'll never try watching the show But wow, you got five stars, Omega and Ospreay But wow, though you're not stars, you're getting buy rates Time to work up North instead Only real stars in the Fed It's a cold world but Eddie doesn't matter He's bundled up now, but still he gets fatter Here's the Young Bucks, time for another botch Judging by the time, you could set your watch Are they really pushing the Dark Order? Nothing on Earth could make us more boreder It's a trashfire, a poo poo parade That's the way I like it, drinking Hayterade But wow, you got five stars, Omega and Ospreay But wow, though you're not stars, you're getting buy rates Time to work up North instead Only real stars in the Fed But wow, you got five stars, Omega and Ospreay But wow, though you're not stars, you're getting buy rates Time to work up North instead Only real stars Somebody once asked is Maxwell on the for gas? He needs to get himself out of this place He'll say, "Yup", bidding war The biggest thing in twenty twenty four You can have Cody back in exchange Well the rating's dropping and it don't stop dropping The numbers in freefall your promotion is flopping Booking's nonsense there's no sense of fun Just for the smarks that is really dumb Too much to learn, the history So where's all the vid recaps for me? I'll never know, won't have a go I'll never try watching the show But wow, you got five stars, Omega and Ospreay But wow, though you're not stars, you're getting buy rates Time to work up North instead Only real stars in the Fed Time to work up North instead Only real stars in the Fed

Like when I did try to talk about the last Bloodline segment, a few folks did earnestly engage in what was working, what wasn't, and what exactly they're trying to do and if it will work or not. But this forum has had problems with toxicity and bad vibes for well over a year now so I guess that's just the new normal.
