SaberToothedPie posted:they put sky in a darby allin/dante martin/jungle boy type spot vs jericho in the early dynamite days and people were just not into the follow up build of him. I do feel like they've been pretty half-hearted with Sky ever since he left SCU. Like, he had a feud with Shawn Spears ... on Dark only, and it got forgotten for weeks at a time, and it was never really blown off (Sky threw Spears through the wall of Britt Baker's Waiting Room, and that was it). He won the "Face of the Revolution" ladder match, and all it got him was a big fake gold ring. And the Men of the Year seems to have benefited Ethan Page more than Sky, if only because Page is so much more natural as a heel. It is a bit frustrating for me because I like Sky and it constantly feels like he's just on the verge of catching on, and never does.

Elephant Ambush posted:The business evolves too. A Destroyer used to be an auto win and now it's not. They need to get over it. I have actually seen someone claim that "a superkick is a finisher" and that it's unrealistic that people get up from the Bucks' Superkick Party.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:I've never been a bartender but I have been a bouncer and the bars I worked at were real picky about what "sport" type stuff they could show. Like TVs in bars have to buy special expensive packages to show football, ufc, soccer, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if, given that wwe is a subscription/ppv system, most bars just don't want to deal with getting sued or fined and just blanket ban wrestling. Also, I notice the original Reddit poster said he was in a chain bar. I would expect a chain to have stricter rules about what can and can't be shown, rather than leaving it up to the discretion of individual bartenders/managers. Back when I was a WWE fan, I used to go to a bar to watch PPVs. It actually wasn't too bad an experience -- they were smoke-free and the food was decent, and even with the cost of food and beer it was usually cheaper than buying the PPV for myself. Although Wrestlemania was always standing room only.

What's weird to me is that Raw wasn't notably awful last night, just ... same as always. Yeah, they did another iteration of CAN THEY COEXIST for the main event, but it's not like they put on, say, a five-minute squash preceded by 25 minutes of stalling as the main event.

Endless Mike posted:Of WWE's initial NIL class of 15, nine are white, so not really a bad ratio, though obviously the discourse there ain't in good faith. I also don't think they've revealed the terms of the deals, so while I *suspect* "exploit young college athletes" is a correct read on it just from WWE's past performance, it's possible they're actually getting paid decent cash. In reality, we don't even know if a WWE NIL deal means they ever even make it to the PC. There's at least two football players in there who are potential NFL draftees, and even literally the last draftee is making waaaaaay more than a WWE developmental talent (and even more than a lot of main roster types). If this article is anything to go by, quite a few of the NIL signees have no interest in or understanding of wrestling -- for them, it's just another way for them to draw eyeballs and, hopefully at some point, money.

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:Now I’m wondering what Scotsman and CRZ are up to these days. I will not look into this further. CRZ's forum, the-w.com, is still alive even though there are like four people who still post there. Based on the threads, the regulars seem barely aware AEW even exists. How about John Petrie of Slobberknocker Central? I can't find anything about him other than a few archived recaps floating around.

Or there was that time the Muppets were guest hosts of Raw. (I remember that night because Hager got the most heat he's ever gotten by holding Kermit's mouth shut.)

Edge & Christian posted:A cable network launched in 2020 that Shad Khan put money into, and now apparently does not want to put any more money into. Should also note that some Black News Channel staff are saying the company has not paid out their final paychecks, which is indeed lovely behavior that should be called out ... but has nothing at all to do with Tony Khan or AEW. At least with the XFL, or the WBF, Vince was deeply involved.

TV Zombie posted:Black Adam and Namor are the only comic roles I imagine Rock having the look for. Black Adam did get pushed as a major villain for a while, but if you're not a comics reader you'd have no idea who he is. I still think the Rock should have made a Doc Savage movie. (Doc is a 1930s pulp hero who was nicknamed "The Man of Bronze" because he was deeply tanned from spending long periods in the tropics.)

I'm not sure if Russo actually booked it that way or if it was a typical late-WCW production screwup -- there was supposed to be a load of "blood" dropped on them while Russo was in the figure-four, but it took forever for the blood to actually fall.

Hirez posted:Huge QT mark here. He was loving fantastic pre-show in Toronto - beast on the stick I was at a show in DC when QT came out several times during Dark tapings accompanying Factory wrestlers, and every time he came out he'd antagonize the crowd more and more. When, later in the show, Hook suplexed him on the stage, the pop was amazing. I was also at the show where he made Action Andretti into a star. He's a great wrestler and a great heel and I won't hear anything against him.

It's always some fat middle aged white dude with a bloatee running in to breathlessly tell everyone that ACKSHUALLY TRUE STORYTELLING MASTERY IS SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS with that same loving "I am the expert of everything" voice, while being so loving wrong it would be hard to be wronger if you tried. You don't even have to go outside of wrestling: that's how you get Vince Russo and his SHOCKING SWERVES that were all about making sure no dirt-sheet smark could say they guessed his finishes ahead of time, regardless of whether they made sense or were good booking.

"Hunter Hearst Helmsly"? And "Sable 42:DD" is the most embarrassing teenage level of horniness ever. It's probably for the best that the little lettering over Goldust's name is unreadable. On the other hand, it's funny that Jeff Jarrett is still using that JJ arrow logo in his AEW entrance video 25 years later. Selachian fucked around with this message at 14:50 on May 3, 2023 |

The first wrestling show I watched was the February 21, 1999, Raw, the one that ended with Stephanie's teddy bear being set on fire. That was the middle of the whole Ministry of Darkness/Corporation angle, and yet I was somehow able to figure out enough of what was going on to continue watching until I was up to speed.
