I know it's probably been brought up a zillion times itt but I really don't understand the WWE weirdos. This isn't the same as console wars where most people can't afford to buy every console so they buy what their friends buy and then poo poo talk other consoles because of dumbass consumerist tribalism. Everyone can watch all the WWE and AEW content every week if they have the time and they can also watch content from other promotions if they have the extra time. This poo poo makes no sense to me. Even when I was a complete moron college grad 20 years ago my friends and I would have Monday night watch parties and flip channels between Raw and Nitro and then watch ECW we taped off TV and just had a good time without choosing a promotion to defend for no reason.

What they really need to do is keep teasing a rift between Jamie and Britt but have them always get past it and stay together. Just piss off every idiot fan wanting to telegraph a breakup. Then when people least expect it have one of them turn.

One or two matches isn't a feud. Also I kinda wish AEW feuds/programs were longer but I also don't necessarily want the WWE thing where feuds last 6 months.

Takuan posted:It's amazing how many wrestling fans have no idea how the human body actually responds to pain and physical trauma. Almost as if they're a bunch of softboy nerds who have never experienced real physical hardship. The business evolves too. A Destroyer used to be an auto win and now it's not. They need to get over it. Hell back in the day slamming a dude's head against the ringpost on the outside could potentially lead to a countout win. Same with a chair. Now they're just regular things people do. It's fine.

The Mandible Claw was a finisher and all you realistically had to do was bite their fingers to counter it but nobody did because kayfabe. Britt Baker uses a fancy Mandible Claw as her finisher and it owns. The Head Claw was a finisher. The Sleeper was a finisher for multiple people. Hogan used a goddamn leg drop. Dusty used an elbow drop. Big Show used a punch. Fat guys used splashes. Earthquake just sat on people after hopping around and running the ropes. The Lariat is literally just a clothesline but when Stan Hansen did it it was murder. Tons of finishers are silly but kayfabe is awesome so gently caress these nerds who take everything literally in this goofy fightpunch theater business.

I realize that social media wasn't around during the Monday Night Wars but were so many people like this back then too? My friends and I would agree to disagree about whether Nitro or Raw was the better show any given week but we'd still enjoy both shows, at least until WCW started getting really desperate and crazy.

MassRafTer posted:It was pretty crazy. The Prodigy BBs and chat were kind of civil but people could get pretty angry and Bob Ryder basically acted as a WCW shill while serving as the moderator. This is just so weird to me. Me and all my friends were huge ECW fans above WCW and WWF but we still watched everything because that was our shared hobby and it was fun to cook a bunch of lovely frozen pizzas and dunk Doritos into french onion dip while watching the Monday shows and then ECW on tape later. If I had ever run into someone who was like "ECW sucks and Hogan and the nWo are the best" I would've been like "OK" and then walked away to go do something else because what the hell is wrong with you. Whenever I read the weirdos that are posted itt I always think back to That Guy who would be at the live ROH shows with the printed out copies of the Observer who would pretend to read it between matches to show everyone how smart they were or whatever and it was just the most embarrassing performative nerd poo poo. It's like That Guy cloned himself hundreds of times and they all have twitter accounts. Elephant Ambush fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Sep 19, 2021 |

MassRafTer posted:Is it really weird we had console wars, people get combative over sports teams, car brands, bands, movies, everything. Consoles cost money so even though console wars are stupid there's at least a monetary investment you're kinda defending. If you have cable then watching wrestling has no additional costs unless you buy every PPV. Like I have no problem with people expressing a preference for a product they enjoy but then getting super defensive and/or aggressive when a viable competitor shows up makes no sense to me especially when, as I keep being a broken record, you can watch both WWE and AEW and enjoy both.

I would never accuse Danielson of lying but I'd really like to know what exactly happened with him that gave him such positive experiences n the WWE as opposed to CM Punk who very clearly had the opposite expoerience.

Well I learned something today. I learned that there are people out there who claim to be hardcore wrestling fans but who literally can't tell the difference between a WWE style main event and an AEW style dream match. These are people who can't recognize wrestling talent and who refer to their favorite wrestler as a good wrestler simply because they are entertaining.

These people are mind-bogglingly, stunningly dumb They remind me of an old friend of a friend that used to watch wrestling with us on Monday nights back during the Attitude era. This guy literally asked us, out loud, to our faces, if we thought that Kaientai were going to chop off Val Venis' dick with a katana. Like, he literally was dumb enough to think that's something that would happen on a wrestling tv show. Every time I read one of those pudding brain tweets I think of that guy
