I was 15 when Eddie died, and their handling of the whole thing (such as bringing out a MEMORIAL LOW RIDER on the following Smackdown and having someone get slammed through it) legit made me think the whole thing was a really tasteless work that was nonetheless absolutely characteristic of WWE. With that in mind, a part of me hopes they're done with Bray now.

I mean…they made a bunch of people wrestle in Owen Harts blood. Nothing else ever surprised me after that.

Island Nation posted:All In was just announced for Wembley next year so it'll be tricky. Summerslam's at the beginning of August, if anything this would tempt WWE to do it more (try to get a bigger attendance and earlier in the month) They announced Summerslam's location in February this year, they've got a little under 6 months to work with to book that. Only other day that's actually booked that month already is the FA Community Shield football games, which are always the 1st or 2nd Saturday that month, so they'd have to either wait to see which one's available or do a Sunday PPV again for once

yea ok posted:The warrior death was so surreal lol. 50 of us saying “wow this guy is gonna die” and then he did like 5 hours later. At least his insane wife got to co-opt an award for fake philanthropy (the way brands r going 2 win) All these years later I'm still gobstuck that Warrior's death was just like the end of 'Walk Hard'

It’s driving me bananas as I can ALMOST hear it. yea ok posted:No this is the company that pretended to dump Paul Bearer's ashes all over the Undertaker while Bearer's family was watching in the audience, then lied about getting their permission to do it. Let's be accurate, please. Ew. On wwe not you. Way late to the party but sucks about Bray. Seemed like a cool enough guy and his Firefly Funhouse was about the best thing on wwe in a while. I’ve known a bunch of dudes our age that have died but really freakin hate yet more kids having to grow up without a dad. Ghosts make terrible parents. Also sad about the Funk. He lived far longer but still, after watching Dark Side of the Ring, I hoped he would get to tell more old timey stories. RIP to them both.

MJeff posted:The Terry Funk references they did do in that episode, with Cody doing the egg-sucking dog line and the Brawling Brutes doing the ladder spin spot got absolute dead silence. WWE hasn't spent their time cultivating an audience that knows anything about Terry Funk anyway. To be Fair (tm) and Balanced (tm), CM Punk did a spinning toe hold and all of the AEW fans went "WOO!", so maybe there's room for improvement on all sides.

They're the most basic belts I've ever seen. Literally the same template except with a team logo slapped on and some colours changed. Zero creativity went into this.

Why even bother teaming up with WWE? Shoulda just stole the idea after they pitched it. WWE doesn’t own the belt makers.

Invalid Validation posted:Why even bother teaming up with WWE? Shoulda just stole the idea after they pitched it. WWE doesn’t own the belt makers. I suppose with the idea that WWE bought the licensing, it makes sense. WWE is essentially taking on the risk of selling the product in case it flops and the NFL makes money either way.
