Airing the footage made the crowd chant for CM Punk lol

the tape will backfire but only because wrestling fans are loving stupid, look at how many people in the other thread think getting into a scrap isn't enough reason to get fired because all the other companies over the years have allowed worse poo poo backstage

I don’t watch the product anymore but they really must be in trouble if they’re giving Will Osprey promo time

Showing the footage and having Ospreay say the other poo poo was kind of a mistake, not for obvious reasons but because now WWE knows they can just casually poke at AEW and cause an entire show to be derailed. This might be the first time I’ve seen an AEW show have only one match in a wholeass hour, they sacrificed so much airtime just to cope about poo poo. It’s a bad precedent and it might be legit the first time I’m kind of concerned about how easily shook TK is now

that's not true. AEW was able to use those things in service of their ongoing storylines. It wasn't out of nowhere. There is a link between all in and bucks and ftr. Will also just added it as like 4 lines during a really good promo.

he's actually really good since coming to AEW. Like probably the best babyface promo in the company, no joke.

No one's arguing that


There's nothing wrong morally or ethically with airing it but it's extremely bad vibes which has carried through to the rest of the show

those five minutes really ruined the vibes of my wrestling show, unlike triple h saying to everyone watching the WrestleMania preshow that some of the best wrestlers in the world are actually lazy assholes

No. I’d say the segment was just regular good in the context of the feud though. The bucks promo and ftrs promo were both good.

wwe spent the week of their biggest show of the year taking repeated shots at a company that presents no actual competitive threat to them

FTR instantly coming out and babyfacing against the idea of airing the footage and not moving on and Bucks babyfacing this causing them to lose to FTR to the point that when the Bucks come out and do a beat down they're greeted with CM Punk chants that werent an issue the last time they were in Chicago feels like a small backfire

So I turned Dynamite off after the Ospreay promo and did not realize the Bucks then became down in a beatdown angle on Pac that caused the crowd to loudly chant for CM Punk. This was all a mistake.

Whelp the WCW 2000 label is permanently stuck in now, the only thing this accomplished is ensuring nobody will ever see this company as anything but a joke ever again so I guess I'll just hope they get in a few more good PPVs before it burns to ground cause at least they do that right
