karmicknight posted:Would anyone care if the AEW TV Deal thread gets renamed to the AEW Business thread since it seems to be moving that direction. I was meaning to request something like this anyway, but just kept forgetting. How about "AEW Business & Ratings: Now is the Quarter-Hour Seven of our Discontent"? I don't wanna put too fine of a point on it being the only place to discuss ratings, 'cause those get posted in the main thread every week, but there have been times where people get sick of talking about them in the main thread, plus I think it's useful to have all the ratings and quarters over a long period of time in one thread for macro-level discussions, so I would kind of like to note that in the title. I'll also quote this in that thread to see if anybody there has any suggestions.

I would greatly appreciate a CM Punk containment thread that I could never, ever, ever, ever, ever look at or post in. Also what the gently caress did my ratings thread do to deserve getting grouped with Cornette chat? I just about gasped out loud when I read that.

The Hausu Usher posted:I wasn't posting in PSP when the Cornette thread was created, but I gathered from context clues it was because the regular thread didn't want those opinions talked about on the AEW thread every week which created the containment. 1. The containment of ratings and business chat away from the main discussion thread is, frankly, a very secondary reason that the thread exists. I made the thread because I found the subject of AEW's TV deal and the Warner-Discovery merger and how the latter affected the former very interesting and at the very quick pace the main discussion thread moves, both in the sense of day-to-day discussion and how the discussion starts over every week and is mostly focused on the actual on-screen product, it was very difficult to get any kind of focused long-term discussion on what AEW's next TV deal might look like without repeating the same talking points over and over (which I think is a main reason ratings chat and TV deal chat annoyed people - it kept starting over from square one and never evolved or deepened past that). Also, when it became about ratings, it became a point to have all of the weekly ratings and all of the weekly quarter hours in one place that could be easily accessible so that the people who were interested in that kinda thing could easily examine and discuss patterns, recurring trends, etc. 2. Grouping all of the containment threads together in one place seems....very backwards to me? Because then they're not containing anything anymore, all the different subjects are running into each other and the sense of focused discussion is lost. I don't see what the problem is with AEW having five threads or whatever. It's probably the most discussed thing on this subforum by both post volume and number of unique posters, it having a few dedicated threads to spin off stuff so the same points won't be repeated in the main discussion thread over and over doesn't seem like a big deal to me. We payin' by the thread now, or somethin'?

For the record, I personally don't consider the ignore function a good solution to anything because I may dislike someone's posts on one specific subject but find them to be very cool and good and funny on literally everything outside of that one subject.

Eat My Fuc posted:lol. We're not friends. Don't do poo poo like this anymore, Eat My Fuc posted:I don't think Tony Khan is cut out for this. He's funny but like in a trainwreck way in every venture he's ever done. like the moment that made me like him was his proto cm punk press conference meltdown where he was cussing and saying he had more money than jim crockett or whatever, that poo poo was hilarious, and i guess my hope that he leans into being a weird touchy rich kid is coming true but, I don't know I thought it'd be funnier. Helwani was right TK gave a lovely interview and now he's embarrassed or something and doubling down. Just take the L Tony. It's like when he got so mad at being called a Dog Fucker. That insult should have no effect on a billionaire believer in dog fuckin abstinence. Eat My Fuc posted:I知 here for that, would be cool. Is the booking actually headed there? Feel like if Keith Lee, Miro, Swerve, Andrade, etc were booked better we壇 have tons of great matches for MJF痴 reign. I think Miro sucks but I know ya値l like him so I threw him in there too. Or keep doing it and I'll call you a loving moron and get probed, I guess.

edogawa rando posted:The first time I posted in an AEW thread, I was accused of wrongthink, and jumped on. We had to tell you to stop posting unsolicited rants about how much you hated the Britt story in the business thread because it had nothing to do with AEW's business, you were just talking about how you subjectively didn't like the story. So. Yeah. Pretty egregious. And I say this as one of the subforum's most prolific Britt Haters, so maybe it's not a wrongthing thing. MJeff fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Feb 28, 2023 |

My interpretation of the joke was that 1) big fat wrestlers who clobber people (like Vader and Samoa Joe) are cool and Punk could improve as a performer by modeling himself after them, and 2) Tony Khan and very important business people demanding Punk get fat and him taking it extremely seriously like that one episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets fat so he can work from home, except Punk is getting fat so he can return to work, is an inherently silly situation, not because the idea of a wrestler being fat is inherently silly, but because the idea of Khan or WBD caring more about what Punk weighs that stuff like if he can still sell tickets and if he can behave himself, is silly. I can definitely see how it reads as sarcastically fatphobic, but I genuinely do not think anybody intended it that way, I think this forum's appreciation for big fat wrestlers is a very unironic one.

Like, I don't wanna dismiss the complaint here because I have myself wondered if the joke is appropriate or not, but I really don't think the forum that went nuts for Evil Uno coming out with his belly on full display to fight Jon Moxley has any fatphobia in its heart.

I've tried to keep quiet about this, but hey, over the past 10 months, there's been a lot of super cutesy posts about "wouldn't it be funny if CM Punk immediately injured himself again, I'm technically not wishing injury on him, I'm just CONSTANTLY talking about how funny it would be and how much I would personally enjoy it if he suffered a long-term injury immediately upon returning to the ring". Can we like, knock it the gently caress off, maybe? If we did this about any other wrestler, it would correctly be called out as the hosed up thing it is. If somebody said "oh man, wonder if Hangman Page is gonna concuss himself again on his first bump!" or "oh man, I sure would love it if Kris Statlander is gonna blow out her knee again five seconds into her first title defense!", it would be regarded as a very hosed up thing to say. And yes, I know, you think this is a disingenuous analogy and these examples are appreciably different because you like those wrestlers, but you don't like CM Punk. Congratulations on liking one wrestler and not liking another one. The dude came back. He wrestled a match. He didn't dive off anything. He didn't get injured. You had your fun. Can we just stop?

Derisively talking about the posting police while finger wagging at everybody else about their posting 30 seconds before you're booted off the island because you self-exiled after everybody got sick of your uniformly terribly posting is ALMOST as good as having a meltdown for being tangentially related to a joke about Trump after comparing a black gay wrestler to Trump. But not quite.

The wrestling subreddit was closed for a while and this is literally the only place to discuss wrestling on the internet that isn't a complete cesspool, so I think it's feasible that some new people did actually show up here, but, uh. I dunno, I'm a little bit, as the kids say, SUS, as well.
