Kosmo Gallion posted:I like the idea of AEW as a host league for other promotions to guest in and defend their titles on occasion. But the OP is correct about AEW/ROH having too many of its own titles floating around. Even if that title appeared on AEW (highly unlikely considering it's Emi holding it), AEW has 7 titles (plus FTW) and ROH has 6, and they're still working on getting ROH off of AEW TV, so I'm not really sure that you could cut titles down a lot. You've got World - Tag - Trios and Women's World for your "main" ones, then TNT - TBS for your TV ones and All-Atlantic as the more "open" one, with PAC defending it in the UK (and it wouldn't make sense for someone who can't be on TNT to get the TNT title). I guess they were fine before the Trios title, but why not have a prize for three-person teams?

Elephant Ambush posted:They clearly don't watch AEW or know anything about TK's booking because they almost never have DQ finishes I've been watching AEW for a year or so, and I remember exactly one finish that wasn't a three-count, submission, or referee's decision (knocked out), and that was when Wardlow interrupted a match between MJF and Shawn Dean, MJF ran off, and tried to bribe Bryce Remsburg to not count him out, so it ended in a count-out There's probably been more but I don't recall them

this kid is nuts posted:I'm not against the idea that wrestling shows can have a heavy emphasis on storylines and segments etc. outside of just matches. But whenever I've actually sat down and watched the WWF/E the "storyline" is usually that one guy calls another guy a poo poo head, then the other guys comes out and says "no you're the poo poo head" and hits him with his finisher. AEW also is more than just "matches happening". I'm still a few week behind, but in the Dynamite I finished watching today, there was an altercation between Sonjay Dutt and co. and the Best Friends (post-match), Acclaimed and Gunns banter (no match), Hangman and Renee interview (no match), Adam Cole return promo (no match), JAS interview (post-match), MJF promo (after the Bryan/Bandido match), Soraya/Toni/Shida confrontation (pre-match), Brian Cage/MJF segment (from the MJF/Bryan storyline), Ethan Page/Stokely promo for their upcoming match with Jungle Boy (no match), and Takeshita calling MJF an rear end in a top hat (no match). And that's in addition to any stuff happening during/around matches (Shida showing up during the Toni/Willow match, or when she appeared in the tag team match the other day, Darby Allin's ongoing storyline etc). Whenever I see these folks that clearly don't know what they're talking about, it's laughable. Meanwhile, the WWE has such must-see segments as "fat guy gets sprayed with mustard, then is asked to join the models. You wouldn't think the models would want him, cause he's fat!"

Gonzo McFee posted:I get this attitude tbh. I'll avoid watching/reading/playing anything long and brilliant that's unfamiliar and instead do the shorter, blander thing repeatedly because it's familiar and needs less investment. It's an understandable attitude. I know I will have x "good chemicals" with an episode of some YouTube thing, while a movie could range from 0 to multiple times x, for two three times the time, nah, youtube it is. Like you say its not a great attitude, but it can be managed. For example I know MJF and Bryan were putting on a banger, so I knew it would be more enjoyable than an hour of youtube for sure. I don't think I'd have watched a 1hr Ironman between Hobbs and Adam Cole with the same ease, regardless of actual quality in the end. Reviews help too. I was even more excited to watch the match when I heard people were into it, same with the Omega/Okada matches. It doesn't guarantee my fun, but it does give more evidence to support it

this kid is nuts posted:I don't mind fans taking an interest in ticket sales/ratings etc., but it annoys me how so much of online discussion around wrestling is nerds pretending to be expert promoters. In particular I hate when they poo poo on wrestlers for "not being a draw" etc. Roman Reigns isn't a draw brother. Let's get this The Bunny in, now she's the real needle mover Joke aside it is such a pointless topic of discussion, not to mention there's no actual goal. Oh they don't hit a million, OK, cool, are they meeting their goals? Are they selling merch? Selling out shows? They've had multiple papes in a row beat their own goals, that's good enough for them, so that's end of story. Wait I forgot Big Hug Tony is lying and it's plants and papered tickets and all the merch is given away for free or something.

That Moxley guy has potential. He should hang out in WWE, put him alongside The Big Dog of the Table and Sami Zayn, maybe he could amount to something. I'm not the biggest fan of the guy, but anyone saying he's straight up bad is unserious at best and delusional at worst.
