All the sports entertainment poo poo stinks of trying to court WWE viewers, but they're just going to watch WWE! TK is basically doing the wrestling version of a Democrat ignoring their base to try and nab "moderate" Republicans

Arguing with Punk people as a diehard Hangman fan was fun. MJF on top is company cancer from day one doing his long long man shtick and only gets worse, detracting from everything around him including his own matches not held together by Bryan loving Danielson

The tournament isn't for anything important and mostly just a cudgel to use against the fanbase not into AEW becoming WWE-lite/TNA. Who cares?

I have a feeling if Cody was around the descent into pure sports entertainment would have happened quicker as we had both MJF and thr Codyverse. Even if they were feuding they'd still double the time

MJeff posted:At best, it's a haphazard attempt at placation, in which case....cool? I get to watch Bryan vs. Eddie and Bryan vs. Andrade at least (two matches that I've already seen with clean finishes, but whatever) and then what? I got four weeks of actual pro wrestling on this pro wrestling show, so I should shut up until next November? At worst, it's a situation where they promoted it like poo poo on purpose, so when nobody watches it, they can go "oh, well, we tried, nobody cared, more kangaroo kicks it is!" Yeah I wasn't joking or making poo poo up when I said this tournament is a cudgel even if it's not being promoted like poo poo on purpose the end result is the same. And there's nothing cringe about being irked when you're told to go gently caress yourself when you've been on board since day one

I don't want to hear another bad word about Hangman being world champ when it's a loving miracle his Adam Cole feud wasn't complete death.

Sure, WWE made him wrestle with MRSA and almost let him die, fired him on his wedding day, lied to him about giving him the Mania main event, and always went out of their way to directly gently caress him over but that's nothing compared to what the Bucks did and be catty
