I really never need a "sorry if you were offended" apology ever again. Just apologize and say you were wrong, stuffing that onto the end makes it sound like bullshit.

Regardless, fire this dude.

It always strikes me as weird that Cody Rhodes is very much a higher-up in the company, he's a key creative voice, yet his segments feel so unlike the rest of the show. They have way more of a retro rasslin' vibe with the family drama and the heartfelt speeches about AMERICA and so on.

Like there are times when it's entertaining but it's like this weird little corner of AEW.

And yeah Dasha laughing may have been a "I don't know how I should handle this" kinda response. Glad it could be clarified that Rosa ain't having it.

It's because it is. Cody wants to use his TV time to play to a specific part of his own nostalgia for wrestling and what his dad did. His segments are very much a completely different flavor from the rest of the show, because he has this deep personal connection to retro rassling that I don't know if anyone on earth can match. He's burning all of his TV minutes on it while the rest of the show is about the innovativeness of the talent, stewarded by the higher ups into the format.

I feel super bad for Shida. She's wanted to cut a promo in English and when she does, some racist rear end in a top hat makes fun of her. And she's probably scheduled to drop the title. I hope she doesn't let that poo poo get to her.

The weigh in was an absolute clunker and I’m not sure what the point was but a lot of the rest of the show was fun!

The point was that everything Cody does is POWERFULLY lame. Like, I get that the idea is to give the match a "big fight feel", but one of the two men actually is an Olympic boxer and the other is perpetually stuck in the 70's midcard.

i don't speak spanish and don't listen to the broadcast in spanish and never would have even heard of it without a ton of people on here immediately looking for blood about it, so the average aew viewer likely has no clue about any of this. in the long run the ppv is going to get all the discussion this weekend. are you loving nuts?

Seriously it's so bad. She talked about one of her goals is to speak english in front of a crowd. And she loving killed it. Racists pricks always tainting poo poo.

Yeah. I'm sure TK is pissed, and Shida will be peeved at the dude when she hears about it tomorrow. But I really doubt this'll gain much traction outside us OnlineTM wrestling fans.

For Shida it'll be like Rosa apologizing for being in the table that mocked her out of the 4 or so announce tables that have to scramble to find a spot to sit on since they're not JR and Toney.

While most don't watch the show in Spanish, most AEW fans watch twitter and other social media and this will make news and it could very easily blow up.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I personally think that Cody and Jericho both play to different but equally obvious stages of wrestling era nostalgia in a very over indulgent way. For me Cody's stuff at least harkens back to his dad and a deeper wrestling nostalgia I can appreciate, while Jericho's just kind of doing the poo poo I hated when it was being done 10 or 15 years ago. So I end up being more tolerable and event enjoying Cody stuff while I tend to tolerate or ignore Jericho's stuff. But I also see why others go the opposite way.

Although the Ogogo feud just kind of sucks.

I think if no one gets fired it will cast a serious goddamn shadow on the weekend, at least for me. If it doesn't, well....they could always just ape the WWE playbook and ignore it! That probably won't backfire or anything. :shepface:

I hope the dude gets fired for being a racist piece of poo poo too, but I think it is probably counterproductive for a fan reaction to Shida's very well done promo segment to be "What a pity it was tainted by someone else, poor Shida."

Shida rocks and will continue to rock, haters and losers vacate
