If I was a billionaire, I'd probably use all that money to play wrestling action figures but for real. But then imagine if my favorite action figure called me a clown in a highly publicized interview? I'd have to have my newest favorite retro figure come out and say "actually he's not a clown, and I enjoy the way he plays with me" in a partially occupied arena.

Tony should just put on more women's matches where the point of the match is to embarrass them and let the fans get their hate in. It's what the people want, just look at the ratings if you don't believe me

Athena kicks rear end. I still think it’s a cop out she’s stuck on ROH. What’s the point of elevating a brand no one watches while your main brand can’t get an audience for women’s wrestling without it being a death match

tentatively, i don't know. if they hired a former wwe writer who prefers not to have wrestling go on and is focused on 1 talent and that person can't act, there's something to gleam from that. and i know the word is glean but this thread really is all about what YOU (each individual) want/s, without holding back.

My doomerism for this company has hit a point part of me kinda wants the ratings to just keep getting worse and worse in hopes it eventually forces them to actually try and make things better but I guess that's too much ask anymore.

I honestly think you need to take a break from online. The show isn't nearly as dire as you seem to think it is. And the behind the scenes stuff isn't even in the top 500 of worse things a wrestling company has done. A lot of scamps on here like to pray for its death but you can tell its not really serious. And others offer their legit critical thoughts and what they think could be done better or what was done poorly. But like was mentioned last time - the show is going to get an increase on its deal and it isn't dying.

You hoping it dies because it makes you upset that it's not as good as you want it to be is unhealthy.

-the behind the scenes makes ecw look like a church trip
-all of my posts in the aew hell thread are 1000% serious
-what could be done better: everything
-the show's either getting the same deal or cancelled, depending on what happens with the nba

I don't hope it dies I've just hit a point where it doesn't feel like there's any way to turn it around and even if it doesn't go out of business it'll just sorta fade into obscurity like TNA where even if they do good stuff just, nobody notices or cares and WWE gets to continue having complete dominance over professional wrestling...

if you're not enjoying it, you shouldn't watch it

you should spend that time watching something that will make you happy instead of watching something worrying the whole time none of it matters because it will be dead soon anyway

WWE isn't ever going to stop being the top company for a long time - it has too much momentum. And AEW has always wanted to be the alternative and that's when they are at their best when they are offering something different. At its heigh TNA never had as much momentum or popularity or made as much money as AEW has. So just watch the show and enjoy it, or if you don't like watching it stop. You're torturing yourself for no reason

wrestling is a form of media that there so many different styles to it is easy to find things you like and dont like on even the same show you're watching. If you see people into a thing and then try to get into but just cant thats fine or just slowly not vibe with it thats also fine imo. being weird about people liking it or not liking it is funny though and real internet brain fried stuff
