Ganso Bomb posted:This, plus one of those links has Nyla Rose with a net worth of $5 million while the Bucks have a net worth of $1 million each. I don't know how net worth is calculated, but I would assume the Bucks are higher than most in AEW just with their merch game alone over the past 5-10 years. Net worth articles for are pretty inaccurate, no idea what their formula is but it's an estimate using whatever public records they find (I imagine propetry value plays a large factor) Maybe nyla inherited a house and the bucks have a bunch of debt, most likely though the numbers are just nonsense

TheIncredulousHulk posted:As someone who stopped watching wrestling as a youngun circa 2002 and came back to it in 2021 for AEW specifically(and have recruited a couple of other lapsed viewers who also love it), I never understand what about it was supposed to put me off. A lot of the things that get cited often by online weirds with axes to grind are things I found intriguing There a certain type of fanboy that is just chasing the feeling they felt consuming a previous version of the product, which is obviously impossible. They hate everything new because they're deluded into thinking that feeling came purely from world of warcraft/star wars/etc. and not anything else going on in their lives at the time. Obviously any difference between the new thing and their idealized version is a flaw. You could give them exactly what they ask for and they'd still reject it.

Venomous posted:Why do people think Hangman's run was bad? The Danielson matches were great, the Cole matches were great, the Archer match kicked a ton of rear end, and he put Punk over so drat well in the end. Sure, the Dante match wasn't on the same level, but it was a sub-10 minute TV match, and he made Dante look great in the process. opening promo every show or does a finisher on his boss at the end every show Having good matches on a semi regular basis? That's not your champion that's a midcarder.

The_Rob posted:So what exactly do the AEW sucks Twitter crew have against slapping in wrestling matches? They claim to hate overly choreographed flippy spots, but they also hate it when guys hit eachother too? Also it’s funny to mention austin vs rock when the rock has the worst punch in wrestling imo. Real wrestling is when you cut backstage to people looking at a tv, then you cut back to the ring and there's a distraction rollup

I just know that a lot of black wrestling twitter absolutely can't stand him Like most hot-take farmers he's evolved past the need for developing a belief system of any sort. He can no longer sense morality and only sees the world in terms of how much "engagement" things will bring him. His unconscious mind seeks out the hottest of takes which occur to him as if they were his true thoughts.

Mrenda posted:Imagine being such a simp for a wrestling business run by a billionaire that you stan for the billionaire's opinion being the one that counts instead of y'know, having personal pride and integrity in what you do, collecting a group of people around you who you do respect, having an understanding of the artform you profess to engage in and judging yourself according to that. Sounds good. Hmm my electric bill is due, good thing they accept personal pride and integrity in lieu of a check for the balance owed. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Oct 23, 2022 |

Mrenda posted:He literally said, "The opinion that actually counts is your boss’s opinion." Maybe provide some general perspective around that, that there are other opinions, that there is trusting in yourself and those who've proven themselves trustworthy count too, and in some situations (maybe many in wrestling's case) the opinion of the person writing the cheque doesn't actually count? His point is that if you're getting paid every week then you're doing a good enough job, because the goal of a professional wrestler is to wrestle as their profession. And if someone who doesn't write your checks is saying mean things about you, you're under no obligation to listen to them.

That doesn't mean this isn't a poo poo underwhelming nothing match for Bryan's debut in Seattle. Apparently Tony didn't think giving Bryan a marque match in Seattle was important. That's fine but it's disappointing. tf you on, its going to look good on tv and the crowd is going to go bonkers. just say what you mean and tell us how you could have fantasy booked it better had your dad been a billionaire.

MJeff posted:If we're all taking it for granted that it's gonna be a great match because both Bryan and Nese are great wrestlers, I don't see what's so unreasonable about then asking, then why doesn't Nese win at all on TV? He very good at the doing matches part of wrestling, but less good at connecting with a crowd, character work, etc. So hes best used as "enhancement talent" where he goes out and makes the other guy look great without loving up or upstaging them. Theres a reason he's gotten booked in so many debut matches. If tv time wasn't such a limited resource I could see letting him win a couple but other stories are understandably a higher priority.

MassRafTer posted:I love that as flawed as the Nitro book was, one of the interesting things it did was actually interview Jamie Kellner, who talked about actually being a wrestling fan growing up. This was a silly thing to say about a company that was losing so much money beforehand but how do people still believe this? (Also people in the WWF were sure they were going to buy the company before Kellner took over.) there's episodes of wrestling observer radio from when the closure went down and that was the talking point at the time. dave would bring up the financial losses, bad demographics, toxic reputation due to both companies getting sexual/offensive to pop ratings, etc. but then say that the bottom line was that jamie kellner didn't like wrestling. i don't get it either but people still believe it because a lot of smart people kept repeating it
