Also, Rocky has wrestled more than 20 matches for AEW, going all the way back to the Daily's Place days. He's an AEW guy as much as anyone is.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Funny enough this is exactly like they acted before AEW showed up. They hated NXT compared to the main roster until NJPW became the popular thing, then they hated NJPW, then AEW became the popular thing and they forgot all about NJPW to hate AEW and champion NXT.

Don't forget how they suddenly LOVED NJPW when rumors started up that WWE as trying to form a relationship with them pretty much specifically to keep Daniel Bryan and then as soon as that didn't happen they went right back to hating it

same, something about their whole production just turns me off. Like, even if the wrestling is better, the announcing and camera work is so off putting it makes me turn it off.

The key is even if you think this is HHH product fully HHH's NXT really had it's flaws hidden by being just Supercards and 1 hour TV at the start. Switching to 2 hours exposed it's weaknesses and it being thought of as a major change for the main roster is people thinking that McDonald's changing it's lobbies actually changes the restaurant

do they still cut constantly from camera to camera during the matches, like they're being billed ten million per second of continuous shot? That alone is a sizable part of what makes the WWE unwatchable

It's like if your local McDonald's used to be ran by an insane screaming senile rapist who smeared poo poo on all the burgers and now it's ran by a relatively competent middle manager. It IS better but it's still gonna serve you McDonald's and that's not going to change.

But if you like McDonald's, then hey the experience has gotten better for you! If you don't like McDonald's then it's still going to look like a McDonald's to you.

Yes that’s exactly what it is. Even if they’re doing some things better than they were even just a couple years ago. It’s still operating at merely being fine and inoffensive. Which is honestly worst than just being bad.

WWE has definitely improved. It's gone from a 2/10 to a 4-5/10. Still not nearly good enough, but a lot of the hilariously bad nonsense stuff they used to do has mostly stopped, which is a shame because I've really grown to enjoy stuff like that the last few years

Except that's not how they are billing Mistico at all so I have no idea what this complaint is about.

This is disingenuous as gently caress seeing as how there's half a dozen luchadores that show up as a 'special attraction' then shuffled to the lower midcard for sporadic appearances. Yes, this is largely due to them not being in AEW proper before being signed, but I think it's a valid complaint when these wrestlers aren't given enough time or push to really get past that 'special attraction' status... Especially when it's been a pattern for some time for many wrestlers.

Now this is way way more to do with HOW they are being used. It's not that the average fan can't tell Dralistico and Komander apart, it's that them and many others frequently occupy the same spot and doing the same thing on the card.
