Pylons posted:Aren't the bigger NBA games on Thursday? Oh. Definitely looks like it according to the schedule. At least TNT broadcasts games that day. So honestly I don't know where AEW would go if they were forced to move to a different timeslot. For reference, NBA on TNT airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I guess if they had to move it would be probably on Friday or Saturday. Would lean towards Saturday if anything though, since nothing important seems to air on TNT right now during those days. Unless you really like movies or NCIS marathons.

Real taste of her own medicine potential there It would just be both of them no-selling for each other until the heat death of the universe because the match would never end.

So if you are out of the loop, Chelsea Green posted some fanart without crediting the artist. The artist apparently reached out privately and asked her to credit him. She deleted the post and blocked him. He called her out for refusing to credit him. She eventually caved after she was getting torn to pieces by social media. Naturally this brought out some more...uhm...passionate people.quote:karma for tanking tessa blanchards career with lies because she was jealous of tessa trajectory.........let this be a lesson to never cave to social media sjws because they will turn on u eventually https://www.wrestlingforum.com/threads/recently-released-wwe-wrestler-chelsea-green-gets-exposed-on-social-media.2429172/#post-78655125 God bless WrestleForum, it's a goldmine of incredibly lovely people and bad takes. https://www.wrestlingforum.com/threads/female-stan-fans-sjw-fans-have-replaced-the-smart-marks-as-the-most-toxic-fans-in-the-iwc.2429174/ quote:bruh never thought it could be done but it has.........these fookers only got into wrestling via the womens evolution & now they harass everyone & everything in the wrestling fandom...........

RealFoxy posted:Braun showing up like Tyrant from Resident Evil, screaming "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET" was such a good niche for him. They really almost had a new old-school Kane but they decided that he was going to die in a swamp because he has a crush on Alexa Bliss. Braun owned himself even before that point by taking the worst parts of Seth Rollins and worst parts of Baron Corbin on twitter and doing it himself.

He isn't the only one either. WrestleTalk is also trying to claim Ricochet has become a victim of "cancel culture".

His new gimmick as of late has been to poo poo on all of the Asian talents and generally be a horribly racist shithead in general.

God bless Reddit. On calling out Kross and Raquel as parts of the reason why NXT ratings are in freefall: quote:Bland? You're calling Kross & Raquel bland? I can't believe there are actual Karrion Kross fans out there. And I'm also going to make a bold prediction and say that just because Raquel is of Latin descent, doesn't mean she will appeal to their demographic, especially since she's a MAGA shithead.

Not really sure if this is a good take or bad take (personally leaning towards bad), but a coworker was listening to some wrestling podcast this morning and they were talking about championships:quote:Popular wrestlers should not be holding championships, as they do not need them. Companies should put the titles on less popular (or unpopular) acts in an attempt to get them over or rehab their image. Probably just me thinking this, but the titles should be on the popular acts as they are the ones bringing the eyes to the shows in question.

Alexa sent out a tweet saying she was having fun with the Fiend/Lilly gimmick, and this was a response posted on Reddit:quote:Not a single person has been hurt by this gimmick, by extension no one really was from the Fiend I guess I must be misremembering Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, Daniel Bryan, Asuka, and Shayna all being hurt tremendously by feuding with the lovely supernatural clowns. Seth still hasn't recovered, Braun was released, Daniel Bryan is gone as well, Asuka is now one of the biggest loving losers in the women's division (and I mean that from a win/loss perspective) this year, and Shayna may as well be in second place on that front.

That "Io Shirai is a bad wrestler" guy from earlier is doubling down. Apparently in WWE you are only allowed to be an underdog babyface if you are small. Since she apparently can't do that, he claims she needs to leave WWE and go back to the minor leagues like STARDOM or AEW, so another "more deserving" woman can have her spot. https://twitter.com/Sajizzle/status/1510361357954306050 Then again I expected nothing less from a Boston Red Sox fan.

On wrestlers who drew for NXT Black and gold, found this gem on another site:quote:Io did nothing for the ratings and I say that as a fan of hers. Wrestlenomics posted a report of who actually drew the most during the Black and Gold era, and Io's segments generally showed consistent growth with a couple of small exceptions. Her stuff actually drew more than the men a lot of the time as well. Her matches against Shotzi, Candice, and Raquel in particular showed significant growth during those quarters. Her highest rated segments haven't been eclipsed by any NXT 2.0 stuff either.

The guy above got called out for it, just to double down and claim that he has every right to blame Iyo because "people unfairly criticize women like Lash Legend but will praise Iyo, Bayley, Becky, etc".

It's that time of the year again...when people get really angry about the PWI Top 150 and women's wrestling. Syuri (STARDOM wrestler, arguably one of the most dominant champions in the world right now) is ranked #1. Bianca Belair ranked #2. Naturally this has caused some rather...questionable discourse with tons of racism involved. https://twitter.com/KaujuanR/status/1585653461491793920 https://twitter.com/KaujuanR/status/1585655315764232195 Man, now I dunno about you, but if Bianca and Syuri got into an actual fight, I think most people would pick the woman with a UFC and Kickboxing background who is 19-4 over a track and field athlete, while impressive, does not translate to professional real fighting.

Bianca not taking the #1 spot this year has broken so many brains and I hope it happens again next year. Also there is some irony in a huge fan of anime saying that you shouldn't have to look up characters on a wiki if you want to understand them.

So KAIRI did an interview and mentioned that WWE matches are too heavily scripted/structured to the point of where there's little to no room to go over time. https://twitter.com/Himanshu_Doi/status/1595338987597488128 Naturally her saying that wrestlers didn't get a lot of time to practice led people to believe that it led to a bunch of injuries on reddit. One such incident pointed out was Charlotte in the TLC match when she lost her temper. However when this was pointed out, people got really mad and are now claiming that never happened. quote:dude this horseshit never happened. you creeps with a weird hateboner for Charlotte are the loving worst Pretty sure KAIRI absolutely did not want to take a powerbomb at the time as she was telling people something was wrong, and on the backstage watchalong, even loving Dana Brooke knew something was off before Charlotte did. quote:Charlotte slapped Kairi to cover what she thought was a blown spear spot. Y'all are too much. The funniest part about that second quote is claiming that Charlotte slapped KAIRI just to cover up a blown spear spot, when you could hear Charlotte yelling at KAIRI for trying to "big league" her. It's definitely not because Charlotte is notorious for having a lovely attitude and the mask slips whenever she isn't booked to be on top of the division. No sir.

CSS posted:Said this in another thread but after reading these hilarious comments I need to add it on here. I think the BIG difference between Sasha/Iyo and Ronda botching is Ronda does it much more regularly, and you don't see Sasha or Iyo yelling at or blaming the fans whenever they don't get the reaction they like. He was right about Iyo messing up last night, but it was nowhere near as bad as that Shotzi/Ronda match was. Also...you know, the audiences generally aren't chanting for another wrestler who isn't in the company during their matches.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scCStOPEfJY This is probably the dumbest 9 minutes of I've seen from an NWA executive in this interview. With such gems like: - Tyrus being a lovely person means he's a great heel, and a great draw for the show. Him winning the title is good heel work. - Tyrus has a rich wrestling lineage, that people need to respect. - Tyrus saying and doing things that people (mainly on the left) disagree with is good heel work and he represents the common working class man with his behavior. - Tyrus appearing on Fox News means that NWA is more popular than AEW and WWE.

On Asuka being pushed and getting a Wrestlemania match against Bianca, quite a take from some fans online:quote:I don't need everyone to be the second coming of Ric Flair, but could you imagine being in any other form of televised entertainment for years on end and simply not learning the primary language of the audience? Jesus Christ, John Cena learned Chinese. This chick seriously can't be bothered to learn even enough English to not sound like it's her first day in the country? Embarrassing.

rotinaj posted:I think it’s kind of a bummer that wwe will hire a japanese woman from japan and not like pay for her to have an english tutor I think the kicker here is that Asuka is absolutely studying English. I know during an episode of Kanachan TV, she talked about how she takes time every day to learn English. But she is always going to have an accent or not speak it 100% fluently. As for the tutors and stuff, KAIRI, Io, and Sarray have all mentioned that WWE did have them attend English courses while in the PC. So the complaint about Asuka not learning English comes across more like racism than actual legitimate criticism. And a lot of these people aren't just Cornette fans either. They also seem to like to parrot points from Konnan, Bully Ray, and Vince Russo, all of whom are massive pieces of poo poo just like Cornette.

Liv Morgan superfans are definitely a thing. On Liv not getting a match at Wrestlemania amid reports that Ronda and Shayna are challenging for the tag titles at Mania: quote:Yeah that's why big star Shayna Baszler is gonna win them, by the power given to her by Warhammer Look, I agree Lita is washed up, but it's hilarious to call Becky Lynch a has-been considering she's still significantly more popular than Liv, and at least her singles title runs didn't completely poo poo the bed, unlike Liv's. Who ended up getting booed by the end of it because she couldn't cut a promo to save her life, and all of her matches were incredibly sloppy affairs.

JUNGLE BOY posted:On the subject of deranged superfans, there is an unhinged Alexa Bliss superfan on reddit that pretty much every day brings up the fact that one time the Lilly doll was the #1 selling item on the WWE store 2 years ago as the reason she should be pushed It's funny because I think those dolls still sold well when they were brought back for a bit earlier this year, but not to the level they used to. But once she started wrestling again, it was pretty clear she was completely over the hill. I think over the past year she's had exactly one good match and it was against Io Shirai. Her feud with Bianca sucked (it also sucked Bianca into the Uncle Howdyverse), especially the matches. Where the first one is up there as one of the worst matches of the year, and the second one, while a marginal improvement, was still really loving bad. Dawgstar posted:"Give her back her hypnosis and her telekinesis." Alexa has talked about how she enjoys Bray Wyatt's work and storytelling and would love to get involved with it again. Which is hilarious since people are absolutely cooling off on him because of how lovely this latest run of his is.

So many people still trying to carry water for Bianca's lovely reign. In response to why WWE should build up more women, especially Iyo who has been getting more and more momentum and hotter reactions as of late:Reddit posted:Yeah, except that’s not how it works. Aaliyah, Lacey Evans, Xia Li, they could be booked like Hulk Hogan and fans still wouldn’t care. Please note that even before Mania, fans were souring on Bianca, going as far as to cheer for Alexa when she...laid Bianca out on the steel steps. In Bianca's own hometown. They also weren't happy with her beating Asuka at Mania either, with Bianca's YT segments regarding WM getting more dislikes than the Cody/Roman stuff. And the following night on RAW she was getting little to no reaction and anything she did get was mixed at best. And to think these people think that Bianca should carry the title until Mania 40 and do a unification match, despite the fact that no one will care by that point.

Montez was getting booed because he was going up against LA Knight who has been getting more and more over every week. Bianca was getting booed because her reign was 400+ days old and not once did she ever sell anyone as an actual threat either in the buildup or in matches itself. It had nothing to do with race.

Time for a new game, guess the cagematch score the reviewer gave the match, this week its Taya vs Britt from last night's Dynamite:quote:"Ah, yes, I can TOTALLY count on my fellow Cagemates to be completely objective about rating a Britt Baker match (or any other AEW female talent who isn't Japanese). Seriously, this is disgusting. Britt Baker LITERALLY held that match together, and made no botches/mistakes last night. Those 2-3 mistakes were on Taya Valkyrie unfortunately. However, last night was just an off-night for her; so Taya (and Britt) shouldn't be crucified just because of a couple of flaws. Most of this women's match picked up greatly near the end, and the finish was pretty cool with Britt having a GREAT counter out of Taya's Road to Valhalla into the Lockjaw. Anyway, the amount of extremely low ratings meant to shame one or both women here is incredibly disappointing and shameful. Do better." As a free hint, the average match score is a 1.92 out of 10 right now. The answer: A 7/10.
