That's why it'd be funny if she went to AEW (though I rather not see that), because all these people who call her the best would immediately turn on her

I dunno. If someone is weird enough to be a hardcore Charlotte-fan, I could see them turning on WWE is she left in bad terms.

I feel like ref liveliness is one of those things your brain learns to ignore/accept after a while. It was quite distracting when I started watching AEW, but I don't really notice it anymore unless someone points it out.

Don't be silly, of course they haven't.

Their first Wrestlemania match was SEVEN years ago lmao
Eh, they have faced:

-Once in 2015 (Mania, became a 3-way)
-Once in 2016 (3-way with Ambrose)
-Once in 2017 (4-way with Braun and Joe)
-Thrice in 2018 (Mania, Saudi, SummerSlam)
-Once in 2021 (Saudi)

IMO they've been used them quite sparingly, considering that both have been consistently top-3 guys and their 1vs1s would have been guaranteed money matches.

(Brock being away a lot and Roman's few long breaks helped)

That video was certainly a trip. Probably shouldn't give it clicks, but it was quite entertaining how unhinged and chauvinistic (oh, the irony) it was.

"The vast majority of the women who are excited about this Male Hardcore Wrestling Fan Spectacular cover wrestling professionally. And judging by how hardcore wrestling fans treat women on social media, it's no wonder some women feel they need to take that extra step to earn their stripes by working in this business just to prove how much they love wrestling, which is obviously unfair."

Look, it's really simple.

If they don't put a guy on TV all the time, they're burying him.

If they put a guy on TV a lot, they're overexposing him.

If he's a former NXT guy and he wins then AEW has done a terrible job building their own guys so they had to bring in NXT guys for the pop.

If he's a former NXT guy and he loses then AEW are burying former NXT guys to get their own guys over.

If he's not a former WWE guy, nobody knows or cares about him.

Lol

quote:

The best stories in wrestling are the ones that people can relate to. Austin/McMahon. Or even something more recent and a very simple story to tell, when Otis and Dolph  Ziggler feuded over Mandy Rose. The majority of wrestling fans are men. There is just no other way around it. Even the organic storytelling of a women’s feud just won’t be as relatable to men. Bottom line, men would rather see Sable and Trish Stratus in a bikini every week strutting around the ring than watching them attempt to have a 5 star classic. It’s human nature, and if anyone tries to deny it, they’re simply lying to themselves.

click-saver: (It's Cornette)

“Does anybody else see that it is coincidental or just amazing how this worked out? That Chris Jericho got to defend the ROH World Championship against and defeat in the middle of the ring a different former champion of some description every week on TV for six or eight weeks. On National cable television on TBS with, at least by their standards, a lot of people watching anywhere from 750-900,000 give or take.

But when it comes time to drop it, oh I’ll be happy to drop that title to Claudio on a f*cking Ring of Honor secondary pay-per-view that may not be seen by 75,000 people much less 750,000.”
