For someone who doesn't have the sub, what exactly did Dave say and what did Bryan say in response in regards to Dave's new opinion about the Mox match.

Dave said that rewatching it he couldn't say it wasn't a great match because they had the crowd and told a story, so even if he didn't personally like it he couldn't be one of those people who just said it was bad because he personally hated it. He noted the feedback response had been split but more people thought it was great than bad. Bryan's response was "WHAT MADE IT GOOD???" And Dave basically repeated what he'd just said.

I love when someone cites their reasons and presents examples as to why they think something and the first response back is OH YEAH PROVE IT WHERE'S YOUR EVIDENCE!

Dave saying wwe programming is bad because of the crowd is certainly something

The crowds are loving silent because the shows are bad its not tough to figure out

These are the same kinda excuses that blame fans and fan groups of everything. One step away from comedians blaming PC culture for comedy not having any teeth anymore which is really just another way of some gently caress boomer saying "back in my day---"

I legit loved that match because it never seemed like they were outmatched. They laid into him. And beat him in the end by breaking both his arms.

A good intergender match should be booked like any other match - body type vs body type. If you have a big power woman wrestler against a light speedy male wrestler I want to see a match of powerhouse vs the flash. I don't want to see oh man how could a woman ever beat a man?!

There's plenty to be outraged about in 2020 but you're implying that being in 2020 and part of this culture it's just outraged for outrageous sake. That belittles the idea that there is legitimate things to be outraged about.

When I see someone say something like living in 2020 is exhausting it makes me think of all those people that tell me I shouldn't be upset when I see stuff like transphobia or homophobia or systemic racism. It's a problematic phrase

The Becky heel turn lasted literally one week. I've been watching WWE since 1994, don't try to play gatekeeper here. Charlotte deserves more spotlight than she has, she should be the top heel in the company but she's stuck in the midcard most of the time. She's even going to have to contend for a developmental belt at Wrestlemania while Becky is dealing with Shayna, when it should be top babyface vs top heel. She's hated here because ya'll have made her out to be a Trump supporter in your minds without any evidence other than how she looks.

Just because you like someone and other people don't, even if the amount of people who don't like the person in question outnumber you, doesn't mean you have to get this you vs them mentality.

You like her and you have your reasons. Others dislike her and have their reasons. But might I suggest avoiding attacking the forum as if it were your enemy? It would do your mind good and could bring down your stress levels :)

The last bit of Dean Ambrose I enjoyed was when he came out to interrupt Triple H and Seth. https://youtu.be/wuB5z_nFQ-Q from about 2:40

There was a somewhat dangerous energy to Ambrose in that promo. In his Jericho interview he mentioned wondering if they were going to try and bury him in that segment and he resolved “If they want to get weird out there, I’ll get weird.”

I also enjoyed him turning face again by just going “Eh” to Seth after he got jumped in a match.

I hadn't seen this before i love how smoothly Jon leans out of the ring to get in hhh face

I'm excited for this book. Definitely preordering.

Also, just a random note: I sometimes think Bryan and Vinny ae a bit too hyperbolic about things. I don't hate Michael Cole, for example. But having just watched Hardy vs. Styles vs. Zayn as per their recommendation, the camera cuts really are horrific. I didn't think camera work could detract from enjoyment this much.

When I was a kid, wrestling was just wrestling. As an adult, there's so much that goes into a great match or wrestling shows that goes above and beyond are the people in the match good at wrestling. Is the ref good at counting a nice, dramatic pinfall, is the camera not total poo poo, are the commentators making your ears bleed....you can have the best workers in the world in there and if all of these other criteria fail, the match can be ruined.
This reminds me when I used to work in the broadcast business. I would tell my director that one person having a bad day could ruin a whole show even if everyone else was having their best day. The producer the director the camera operators the sound engineer down to the teleprompter operator. Everything had to be working together even to just begin having a good show

They did a press release stating that they had X show, Y show, Z show and more. His show was included in the "and more" and he is angry about that because he was on the site before anyone but Bryan. He also suggests that there has been an ongoing issue with Josh Nason regarding a lack of respect.

So basically they are running an invasion angel. Making all this public seems trite.

Yeah so far most of the opinions I've seen are this was really funny but they are willing to give AEW a chance to get out of it/they don't care and can move forward enjoying AEW. Hell most people I've seen still say it was a great show with a bad ending - which gently caress how many times has that happened when you watched a movie, played a game or read a book?

But if AEW tries to be like please stop posting meme's it's not funny - good will would vanish.
