It's the only correct reaction to a WWE clip tbh. The alternative is the official account going "WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED" or Public Enemies Podcast-style hyperbolic tweet calling the lamest WWE poo poo a movie.

I just can't connect with this without knowing who these characters are and why them kissing is such a big deal. WWE could really learn a thing or two from AEW about storytelling.

Pillowpants posted:Yet you’ve got the Brooklyn Brawlerr 2.0 as the continental champion - having won a tournament with a dozen people more talented than he is, feuding with people he doesn’t hold a candle to. Bryan - I thought Eddie earned your respect finally. Sad to see you not accept that he is the KING of the bums and not just a bum. Can’t wait for your match versus Ospreay! I love it Maggle!

Lance Storm was a good wrestler.

I just remembered another Lance Storm story that is barely related to discussion about storylines/cinematic stuff in wrestling. Lance was wandering backstage and came across Vince Russo. Russo was complaining about how hard it was to have to write X amount of stories to fill the Y amount of TV hours he put out. Lance said that if he gave them the opportunity, the wrestlers themselves could tell those stories in the ring, and probably more entertainingly. Lance Storm is good people. I apologize if my last two stories about him have been stupid and/or boring

Yeah sure, Lance could put on a great match, but where would you have the miscarriages, the forced haircuts and wrestlers complaining about how wrestling was fake??

He wrote maybe what 500 lines for an episode of raw? When I produced the morning show for kplc I had to write for a daily 2 and a half hour show somewhere around 3000 lines an episode. And I would have killed for the ability to just give my talent 30 minutes to do their own thing

Every time I participate in making GBS threads on these WWE clips in these threads, my Fedpilled friend would never fail to sincerely share them in our chat group like they're truly cinema. I feel like I'm living in two realities.

MassRafTer posted:If you are going to watch WWE in TYOOL 2024 you need to have taste bad enough to say Eddie Kingston is Brooklyn Brawler 2.0. Women praised Eddie during Speaking Out for making creepy guys gently caress off and stop annoying them, it makes sense that fans of WWE would see nothing to like about him.
