GEORGE W BUSHI posted:The BBC news (used to?) put up the Premier League match scores up and warn people to look away if they don't want to know the scores. There's a highlights show every evening that some people try to watch unspoiled but that isn't as common since shows like Soccer Saturday started with live score updates.

My counterpoint to that is that FCW was a pretty fun show a lot of the time.

I'm not usually one for that kind of stuff but so many people who've been ride or die for the 2k WWE games turning on it for this one has me immediately thinking bullshit about anyone speaking positively about it.

Hellblazer187 posted:Wait are WWE stans complaining that AEW doesn't have enough representation of women/POC/etc? Seems a weird complaint from them. There was a weird article a few days ago saying AEW was showing how fake its commitment to equality was because they hired Jake Hager (legit complaint) and neither Nyla Rose or Sonny Kiss hadn't been on TV in a few weeks (less legit complaint).

Gumball Gumption posted:His main complaint seems to be that they can't instantly have a 2nd match because there is no way to escalate. Which, fair, you can't. But that's only a problem if you're looking WWE style where every feud is a best of 3. WWE has absolutely narrowed people on what they think wrestling is. Bryan went into this on Observer Live on Sunday, as almost all the calls he was getting on that show were theorycrafting how AEW could break the stip that Cody would never challenge for the title again. Because WWE has conditioned people to expect stips to be rule-lawyered around.

Lamuella posted:The thing that HHH and WWE in general either don't get or seem to have forgotten is that heat is not a zero sum game. It can be generated rather than taken from somewhere else. WWE crowds only care about big names though, because they've been so trained that only the big names matter. This goes back all the way to the WCW days where guys getting tryout matches on shows would say WCW crowds would get really into the match if it was good but WWF crowds wouldn't care at all. It would take a hell of a long time (and patience no-one in WWE has) to change that.

Yes Tony Khan, someone who has repeatedly said he wants to work long term, would trade 2 executives and one of the best tag teams in the world for a guy who's only going to be around for a year and has never wrestled before.

Chris James 2 posted:If you asked Okada if he'd rather "wrestle in front of nobody for WWE in the middle of a health crisis" or "not wrestle until it's safe for New Japan", he'd take the latter He was literally asked one time if he'd go to WWE and said he'd rather work for New Japan and work to make it bigger than go to WWE. Remember this is a guy who knows first hand what American promotions tend to do with Japanese talent from his time in TNA.

For those who don't keep up with F4W stuff, the point made in the video is that the virus doesn't excuse the fact that Raw's ratings have been dropping for a long time now. Ryan's gotta keep the boss happy though.

Also right now I think there aren't many women on the AEW roster willing/able to travel, hence Shida having a match against someone from Cody's school this week.
