Yeah, google will put in my history list any video or short I scroll down because whatever reason. Of course I started to diss any WWE video because half of them are from Attitude era channels that hate anything else.

That's cause of the autoplay "feature" that plays videos if you hover over them. You can turn it off in YouTube settings, I only recently found that out

Who ever could have possibly known that Vince McMahon was a sex monster

Absolutely not his daughter who he was a sex monster toward for decades

I am sure she just was being a good employee, loved her dad, and paid absolutely no attention to who Vince kept around or what he was doing

At least it's only Vince, it's not like she's close to anyone else listed in that lawsuit, can you imagine if she was like, married to Corporate Officer #1 or something?

I've gotten a friend into wrestling by just taking her to a show at the local promotion. Another by showing her Revolution 2022, she really liked Jericho and the Dog Collar match (and Regal slapping Mox and Bryan)

But he's also making money too so you have to add that in

Clearly not, all the fans at the show are paid actors, so yet more money drain, not to mention them having to buy the tickets from the scalpers to give to the actors, I got it from reputable source @PapaHCookin (the tweet got 37 likes).

It's almost as though professional wrestling was built around fan interaction and reaction until one company found this inconvenient.

I was at my local show today, wearing the newest shirt the guy I support had, and he saw me with it at the second row and reached out to do a handshake, it made me pop big.

He won the match too, going for the Greek Championship, he was on fire.

-World champion, defended title at the latest pape
-One of the people who challenged for the title at the latest pape
-Successfully defended tag titles, held with a legend, again at the latest pape (main event)
-Recent signing, also had a match at the latest pape, versus another major pickup
-Not sure what Jay White's deal is haven't kept up much, but wasn't at Revolution, isn't he budding with some current champs?
-Recently challenged for the title IIRC
-Not sure
-Current champion with the TV title

-Former champion, very popular, also recent challenger apparently
-Elevated a whatever title to great heights with what's regarded as a great run
-Widely regarded as one of the best tag teams of all time, helped found the company
-Literal GOAT contended

Like yeah I get it engagement bait or whatever, but whom does he want to be pushed? White and Starkz, ok, then you bitch about Julia dropping the belt? Serpentico as champ?

Jay White is currently holding the ROH six man titles with the Gunns, just took out Darby and the Acclaimed, and likely will take the AEW trios titles from them. Billie Starkz has been in a fairly long and fun story with Athena in ROH.

White may not be at the level he should be but I get the feeling he's going to start ascending up the card sooner rather than later.

Ah okay, so out of all that talent we have "current champion on other brand, took out latest tag champions/current champions", and "part of the story with the champ on other brand"

I mean I like Athena and Jay, wouldn't mind a push, but it's not like they're in loving catering right?

Triple H making me take Will Ospreay's side when it comes to Captain Bruv's personal character is a crime unto itself.

Okada needs to do a few years in NXT to grind some reps, he's right.

Hell, the others too, I bet Lexis King could show that scrub Ospreay a thing or two, and Corbin has an easy W against White, gotta pay their dues.

Eat This Glob posted:


but genuinely, i may have done something similar if i started watching by myself without someone to hold my hand a bit and answer my questions about who is who, or why so-and-so just hoofed that guy in the nuts backstage. it's tough to jump into something and have it stick when there's no real beginning, middle, or end to the product

I feel that, ROH and AEW commentary do a good job of catching you up to that. My first show was Revolution 2022 and I could still follow Eddie vs Jericho despite not knowing anything about Eddie, simply out of "Eddie wants respect, this is why they fight"

Or, again with Eddie, the Claudio story. "he doesn't like Claudio, they have beef cause Claudio betrayed him in the past". Gotcha, let's roll.

That said, handholding does help, I know Ibushi showing up wouldn't have hit me as much as it did if I hadn't heard of the Golden Lovers story before. It would have worked, with them telling us he and Kenny are as close as they are, but less so I guess.

The only "storytelling" they understand is when the wrestlers just stand in the ring screaming what the story is at each other.

Also when one of them has a hurt leg, and the other wins by targeting and hurting the leg.

Eh, I see a quarter of a point there. While I personally love "fighting champion" booking, defending the title at every show can make title defenses seem rote, while defending at only big shows makes the individual title defenses seem more important. If what someone is used to is mainstream American booking pre 2019, they will have had years of the product telling them that a title that's defended on TV is TV grade, while a title defended on ppv is ppv grade.

I feel like context and nuance matters a lot here. OC's title being basically an open challenge ruled, and it told an interesting story, and so did MJF doing his best to avoid the match, and putting on bangers when brought to it.

I like some TV defence but it has to be more earned than "I'm challenging you at the pape", and I definitely see the argument for TV defences being "lesser" than pape ones. At the same time, if done right you can do a good beat with a TV match, even a change
