So was it Vince who ruined Graves on commentary like he does to everyone else or what? I remember really liking him as a commentator on NXT.

illcendiary posted:Pretty wild to see an entire subforum melt down over Dave having the gall to dislike an AEW match, very cool stuff I think it's less that he disliked it and how much of an idiot he sounds for his reasoning. The "was it real glass?!" conversation was already mentioned and is incredibly embarrassing, but he also just sounds amazingly out of touch with comparing this match to CZW and BJW. Like, everyone is allowed to like and dislike what they want but the arguments he and Bryan had are just so bad and barely make sense. Nobody *has* to like every match, and if you didn't like it that's fine – but at least be logical and coherent about your reasoning.

Admittedly, I haven't read every post about it, but everyone should be allowed to like and dislike whatever they want. That's just my bold take, though.

To be honest, the thing I cringed at the most was the bumps on the wood planks. I started training in August and it can hurt taking a bump wrong on a fully put-together ring. I wouldn't want to attempt it on just wood.

Basically every section on the hard cam side was empty. It was the hard cam section itself, then one on one side and two on the other. I don't know how many of those sections they didn't try selling, but it is weird looking at a ton of empty seats all night.

I think Pillman might be my choice. I feel like he'd still be doing some insane poo poo these days with how weird the indie landscape has become. Joey Janela vs Brian Pillman at a JJSB? Hell yes.

Also, let's not ignore this weird claim of "Oh, NOW sure is a convenient time to bring this up" like it's a juicy bombshell everyone has been waiting to unleash. It seems to have only come out because Tessa made a tweet about supporting women and that obviously triggered some women who were very clearly not supported by her. She kind of set herself up for this. From what I've seen, nobody just started tweeting about this without her initial tweet.

extradite THIS! posted:Welllllll he did do the Hadouken on AEW programming (Fyter Fest I think), so maybe he hasn’t changed THAT much. He’s still a weird freaking nerd and that’s part of the appeal Oh yeah, I don't think Kenny has probably changed all that much personally, just his place in wrestling. Going from doing a Hadouken in comedy matches and in the forest or whatever to doing it in great (mostly serious) matches. Speaking of his nerdiness, though, I wonder if he'll top his Toad costume from last year for the Jericho cruise this year.

forkboy84 posted:So who is the stupid take here, Meltzer or the person who thinks Meltzer's take is serious when he's joking? It's also possible that he thinks that rating still stands despite it being a 2-stunt "match" or whatever. It carried a mystique and was loving wild, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a technical masterpiece to get lots of stars.

22 Eargesplitten posted:Edited my post, that might have been who I was thinking of. I know very little of WWE/WCW history and even less about any of the Japanese promotions. I got back into wrestling from a goon posting a link to AEW Dark after previously having watched Smackdown on TV before I even had broadband internet. Most of the stuff people talk about in these threads ends up being vague memories attached to things I do know the meaning of, which ends up being pretty AEW-centric because that's the only thing I consistently watch. Although I picked up a fite.tv subscription so I don't have to deal with commercials for Dynamite, so maybe I'll start watching more Indies. If you want to check out more indies and have $10 to spare each month, IWTV.live is also well worth the cost. They typically live stream at least one show a week, with some weekends having 2 or 3 live shows. Their back catalog is also huge and filled with a ton of different promotions. And, as has been mentioned, NJPW Is the best.

Lamuella posted:I won't link to it but there's one particularly vile account called something like "nyla rose fan club" which is deadnaming her and posting what they claim to be pre-transition photos. I reported it for targeted harassment because that's dogshit behaviour. I saw this, too, but didn't even think about reporting it because there's so much trash on twitter that it feels like screaming into a void. But, if it's still up I'll go do that now, too. Edit: gently caress, that was depressing and frustrating. Just reported a bunch of their tweets and their account as a whole. What a loving dirtbag.

Mike Kurtz might not be long for this thread. A simple little dig at Lars: https://twitter.com/mkurtz91/status/1238262032853536771 And allowing himself to actively enjoy AEW: https://twitter.com/mkurtz91/status/1240462378237558791 But let's give it another 6 hours and see if he tweets something insane before jumping to any conclusions.
