Codependent Poster posted:What are they even doing with Athena? I don't trust them to make any program with women work when they don't even put Athena on the main shows. Athena is the hottest thing on RoH and has the main storyline focus of the entire show currently, aligned/feuding with the second best young American wrestler and hasn't been pinned since she won the title (ignoring once on the indies v Yamashita with a dusty) She is probably pretty happy with that, though it'd be cooler on TV.

MJeff posted:It was too shticky. I get that Christian Cage is one of the more over-the-top characters in AEW, but I think it would've made more sense for her to just be kind of like "what do you want from me, I'm a mother, I have to protect my son. One dude tried to kill him with a chair, the other dude is supporting him and helping him accomplish his dream of being a pro wrestler, I don't really have a choice here." Just, like, put a bit more reality into it instead of the "YOU BOO MEEEEEEE?" stuff. I mean, it seems like she's a heel and that's a babyface response you've recommended E: granted, that's how Cage played it, but I doubt she has the skill to do the classic "heel makes good points!"

Duke Pukem posted:yeah, that show had half their roster away due to the pandemic and it was outdoors in a particularly humid and hot Florida summer evening. Nothing has come close to being as bad as this one and it was still better than the average WWE PPV before 2021 I think this pape was better than the last one

Big Coffin Hunter posted:Side note, with all the talk about Mone earlier I feel like Toni Storm's reign would be met with about as much animosity as Face MJF's if the women's title was treated with as much respect as the men's title and the women's division wasn't mostly just treated like a midcard thing I know you hate Toni's gimmick but MJFs schtick is so much worse and is far less creative Also not riding the heel/face dynamic in the most obnoxious way possible I'll take 100 delusional heels over a babyface that cheats constantly, uses loving stupid moves that are kayfabe weak but somehow work for him, and wins against top contenders with a broken leg The Taxman fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Jan 19, 2024 |

SatoshiMiwa posted:While it'd be nice to have something to explain away Swerve breaking into Page's house it is nice the Tony saw the massive cheers Swerve was getting and pivoted him to babyface. Trying to force him back into being a heel would have been a big error This is the same thinking that killed MJF

MJeff posted:I wrote a whole-rear end column on what killed MJF. Clearly delineating the moment of his babyface turn is not what killed MJF. Turning babyface killed MJF  also I read the article, it was good! E: I just don't think that Swerve needs to actively try to play to the crowd and poo poo; he can wrestle from the bottom and beat scumbags, but please don't ever make him give gladhanding promos The Taxman fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Gumball Gumption posted:That's why the Olympics are mostly video packages about the athletes No, it's packages about 1/3 of the athletes, which often don't include the top athletes and usually only include the nation that produces the broadcast poo poo like this is actually why I never enjoyed American Ninja Warrior. I don't care nearly as much about who has the biggest comeback/marketable story as who is excelling at the event.

C. Everett Koop posted:That's the NBC production way, which assumes that the audience is swinging wildly from crying in inspirational tears to cheering madly and back every five minutes or so. It's ruined their Olympic coverage, made the Gladiators reboot unwatchable, that Gladiators show the Rock did was overproduced and unwatchable. It's garbage and I hate it.

Drakkel posted:It's just depressing at this point cause it feels like no matter what they do the ratings just get worse and worse and there's nowhere you can have any actual discussion about AEW cause it's just people screaming endlessly about how poo poo it is and how stupid you are for liking it and I dunno man maybe it should just loving die already so we can move on. I think you need to tune out of this discourse because trying to understand why people at large don't like the excellent things you enjoy is futile and just diminishes your enjoyment of the things that make you happy Also "worse and worse" is still a top show on cable

blunt posted:Jade chat reminds me that I miss Smart Mark Sterling. Has he been banished to the internet promotion? Currently he's only managing the Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Josh Woods), who haven't been focused much lately, but they've had airtime at Supercard of Honor (adding Ariya Daivari) and at the following show. Uh...yes. Though RoH is good and you should check it out!
