is there some other wrestler named Dusty Rhodes who I haven't heard of, to whom this poster might be referring? Because the one I remember had many qualities, some of them without peer in his field, but he definitely looked to me like an adherent of the extremely old-fashioned "rich foods, booze, and cigars" school of physical conditioning

yeah, but he's probably not referring to the one i know. the other one i know was a 2x NCAA (division 3) national folkstyle wrestling champion and he was just a lil feller at 130-something pounds. he coaches wrestling in iowa

The AEW show I went to a guy yelled "You look like a horse" at Aubrey Edwards and me and my wife and everyone around us yelled at him to shut da gently caress up. I think some people are just lovely and like to be lovely in public and that stinks

i was at dynamite in newark a couple weeks back and there was a guy in his late 30s, early 40s with not a ton of hair left, but had an undying amount of enthusiasm for christian cage. he was in the sleeveless turtleneck, coiffed his hair into cage's style the best he could, and carried a cardboard (but well-made) tnt title. when cole and the kingdom came out to talk and the crowd started the "he's our scumbag" chant, jersey christian bellowed out the best he could "christian cay-age" over and over for the duration. it was endearing and hilarious. im glad the two shows i went to had no real shitheads yelling shithead stuff

he wore wrestling t-shirts every day until he got a girlfriend. now he only mostly wears wrestling t-shirts.

he got me into aew after me writing off pro-wrestling entirely after tuning into WWE one day on a lark post-high school and the first segment i saw was a group of latino men riding to the ring on a lawnmower and wearing cover-alls. he's not quite as knowledgeable as meltzer, but dude could be his millennial cousin

real sports rule because players don't have the freedom or agency to go to a different place to play in a style that better suits them or maybe offers more money. im a fan of boston sports teams, and all of those championships came from homegrown talent only. i remember drafting manny ramirez and david ortiz and josh beckett and kevin foulke and jason varitek like it was yesterday. almost as vividly as i remember "breaking the curse" in 2004

I remember trying to get my WWE fan brother-in-law to watch AEW and he said “I tried and turned it off after 30 minutes because I didn’t know who anyone was” and I was like yeah no poo poo you didn’t know who anyone was, it’s your first time watching a new product, what did you think you’d know??

He didn’t bash AEW by the way, he thought what he saw looked cool, it was just a baffling reason to turn it off to me.

is your brother-in-law blood related to you, forums poster a dumb moron? if so, i may have found the problem

but genuinely, i may have done something similar if i started watching by myself without someone to hold my hand a bit and answer my questions about who is who, or why so-and-so just hoofed that guy in the nuts backstage. it's tough to jump into something and have it stick when there's no real beginning, middle, or end to the product

The context for that has changed a ton, too. Back then, PPV was a much larger chunk of a company's overall revenue, these days, TV rights fees are a way bigger one, so it makes sense to put big matches on TV.

Even accounting for that, though, the dream matches that AEW puts on TV are ones that AEW isn't going to get around to doing as big PPV main events any time soon. If they ever do Ospreay vs. Claudio as a title match, it'll be several months, maybe years from now, and having done it last night won't be a big problem to the hype for it. When WCW was giving away PPV main events on TV, it was matches that could've or should've main evented the PPV for that month.

"remember how dope their match on a random dynamite was? imagine what it'll be like on a PPV!" seems like it'd help sell things, even
