Going to drop my highly controversial opinion here: The belts never should have been named "TBS" or "TNT", always thought that was a stupid idea. Just call them the TV and Women's TV championships, that way you can move to a new network someday without having to rename and redesign them

fez_machine posted:The C2 is clearly a good faith attempt (not matter how TK spoke at the press conference) at satisfying both Danielson's desire to do a G1 before he retires without actually losing him for a month and the fans feeling alienated from AEW's pivot to showcasing Sports Entertainment at a forefront. I don't think it'll be executed well but that's on AEW's dysfunctions not on its intentions. "It doesn't matter that Tony's comments have an oddly hostile tone towards the people that are dissatisfied with the current product, because he clearly means well"

History Comes Inside! posted:Disagree I sincerely think more companies should be openly telling their customers and prospective customers to go gently caress themselves sometimes That only really works if you're in a field where there aren't any alternatives for your customers, so they have to like the turds you deign to throw their way. Like WWE during most of the last 25 years, for example Also I do find it amusing that Vince and co. have in the past cut promos mocking their rabidly loyal fans for basically being dumb enough to like their product, while Tony Khan goes off on the previously loyal fans for being smart enough to not like his current product

Company's struggling to sell tickets, WWE's eating their lunch in the ratings, they wasted a bunch of money on a videogame nobody's playing, WWE signed away AEW's hottest up-and-comer (and also Jade Cargill), fans aren't into the "WWE Lite" booking he's doing...at this point TK better just hope Mercedes Mone hasn't started taking calls/texts from Stamford again

MotU posted:imagine being tony khan and coaxing your favorite wrestler out of retirement for years only to completely botch it by not taking away a mic from him when he's having a Muffin Meltdown and then delivering him giftwrapped to the competition, incredibly tragic In all seriousness, TK really proved he was out of his depth at that media scrum, by not shutting Punk's mic off or ending it the moment he heard poo poo was going down. Even a store manager at a Target knows that when you have an employee going off in public about something (whether justified or not), you get them out of there and defuse the situation. You don't just let them rant about it to everyone within earshot. Same if there's a fight going on; you don't just sit there and wait for someone else to maybe handle it, you get the parties separated so things don't get completely out of control like they did at Brawl Out. This is not a defense of anything Punk said or did, mind you, but rather a criticism of TK's lack of control and handling of the situation.

I agree, I think that's also why the Iiconics/Iinspiration somewhat abruptly retired from pro wrestling a year or two ago, because they both started up pages on OF or a similar platform. If they can get the same amount of (or even more) money for a lot less work and risk to their health, then I definitely don't blame any of them.

JUNGLE BOY posted:Brandi later denied this in an interview. I’m of the opinion that Tony said something about her ideas or work that offended her. Maybe not to her but it got back to her. They’ve ruled out enough stuff including money that it’s gotta be something actually personal like they’ve characterized it as I still subscribe to the belief that Cody fully convinced himself that he was going to get the book in AEW, so he could be like his father in all aspects of his career; when it became clear that was never gonna happen, he took it very hard Yes, I know he went back to the one company where him getting the book was even less likely to happen than it was in AEW, but that's because his other options were working the indies, going back to Japan, or doing something completely different outside of wrestling, none of which would pay as well as AEW or WWE

I started watching wrestling as a small child, and it was totally entertainment for babies, like Chris Adams busting a wooden chair over Kevin Von Erich's head, and the Magnum T.A./Tully Blanchard "I Quit" match. Might as well have been watching the Smurfs, it was basically the same thing
