Ah, of course, no American company has ever succeeded by catering to white men.

Yes, one of the many instances online where you can replace the phrase "a lot of my friends were saying" with "I'm saying".

God, that smug rear end "glad we agree" logic from the first one is so irritating though.

gently caress that bad faith idiot

I mean, it's probably in bad faith but it's not necessarily wrong: Darby came down off-center. His spine or leg hits the back of that chair, and the PR for an injury right in front of Owen's widow would be a loving nightmare for the company.

You are arguing a ridiculous strawman over two threads that hinges on something happening that didn't and is completely unlike what happened to Owen Hart and pretending Martha should be somehow offended by it or that other people should be. It's really silly and shows much more disrespect to the memory of Owen Hart and how he actually died than your imagined scenario does.

The strawman is coming from you, because I said no such thing.

Cool. If you're going to cherry-pick to try really hard to make it seem like I'm clutching pearls about this, you might want to re-read my following post cracking a joke about it, which you posted right after.

When actually pressed about it, down to the person these kinds of people always admit they "just read results and watch clips on Twitter."

Very curious if people who complain AEW is "too hard to understand" also get confused at movies and TV shows. Do they get angry at video games, wondering why Link is always fighting Ganondorf?

Like I said up the page, they're almost always people who only watch Twitter clips and read results. Nobody who actually follows it finds it confusing unless they're muting all commentary and looking at their phones the whole time.

Really want to know how they found the time and resources to deeply survey the rest of the world about whether they think a guy who wrestled in WWE has since retired.

Crazy how nobody in other countries watches New Japan either.

Hager/Claudio is a dream match, in that if I eat an entire pizza before bed, I might have a weird dream where they're helping my high school math teacher build a treehouse inside a Blockbuster Video while my grandmother stares at them disapprovingly from a bathtub.

Why is the concept of leaving a job you don't like so alien to these people

I have a feeling these are the people who get manager jobs at Target and get really into the part of new employee orientation where they describe working there as being a "family".

These days, DG doesn't want temporary excursions because they don't want to be seen as someone's developmental promotion. If anyone's going to come in from outside, DG wants it to be their long-term destination.

So GLEAT or DDT might be more likely, though I could see him fitting into Bullet Club.

Although I can understand the importance of a cooldown match, I'm also fine if said cooldown match is still super entertaining, just not quite as quickly paced.

Forbidden Door was basically a perfect in-ring PPV and every match was good to great. It also helps that AEW puts out such a diverse in-ring product, so not every match feels the same.

I much prefer this to when I still watched WWE and half the PPVs had one good match, a bunch of okay matches, and at least one infuriatingly bad match.
Yeah, the only remotely distant critique I could make here is firmly couched in how great the product is: There was no good time for pee breaks during Forbidden Door because I wanted to see every single match in full.

But the crowd was nuclear throughout and did not run out of pops.

Konuwa was also the guy who had an exact percentage of how white an AEW tournament was, which ended up with something like 81% because he was counting multiracial people's whiteness toward his total.

You know the WWE stans would be complaining nonstop about the visuals if they ever watched a hard cam indie show.

I watched a Warrior Wrestling show from June and they had Beepie kicking out of several of Will Ospreay's biggest moves. It was utterly bizarre that anyone would book him that strongly.
