I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

the minimum workrate level nowadays is so high that its almost a moot point about who has the best wrestlers, but how they're used

the exception is wwe really REALLY ate up a lot of the top women's talent and that's a much shallower pool because the idea of a mainstream serious female wrestler was absolute fantasy, what, 10 years ago?
They've got the monopoly on women's wrestlers that had buzz between 2005 and 2015 that are still active wrestlers, and managed to basically ensure Kairi and Ember retire early wasting what should have been the prime of their careers. They're doing their best at making sure Io Shirai and Candace LaRae never stay over too despite both being arguably the two most well known non-WWE women under 35 before they signed

WWE is real bad at this whole wrestling thing and they're starting to sink the ship in the sports entertainment industry too.

Luther is awkward in the ring in a sort of endearing way and can be enjoyable so long as he isn't doing anything important. And it's not like I'm expecting every 50 year old to be Christopher Daniels Dustin Rhodes.

i mean when the titanic is starting to sink your first priority needs to be to change the dining room tablecloths.

but honestly the designs are 10 years old and are probably the 2nd worst looking belts in the company, so they could use the upgrade. my guess for the design is big empty circle with wwe logo.

Much like you can only go for the cruiserweight title if you're under 205 pounds, you can only contend for the Heritage Cup if you have been credibly accused of a sex crime.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This. Luther apologists are like prequel boosters - they got so wrapped up in irony they believe their own trash. There is nothing endearing about Luther no more than there is nothing endearing about Rache Chanel or how there was nothing endearing about Tay Conti in NXT, and I'm using that last one to show when you're bad in AEW you're reeeeeeeeeal bad.

Cups don't work that way! We do not have a lineal World Cup!

... wait do we? Is there a lineal world cup tracker?

Edit: nevermind I worked out that every lineal world cup holder would eventually end up with the winner anyway, but still!

Edit 2: wait because of the disintegration of West Germany and East Germany maybe not

Aren't they exactly the same as the Smackdown belts just with a red strap instead of blue? We're talking about the big stupid round coins with two centurions headbutting each other, right?

Why?

No literally why? To what end, purpose, or use is doing this? Why spend money to make/design the stupid things, and have whoever the champions are waste time on TV promoting them?

The only reason to make new belts is if it is part of a gimmick, I reckon. I remember Cody Rhodes' "classy" IC title, which he had when he was dashing. That made sense and was cool.

Making new Tag belts, and more than likely blanding them down so they fit the colour palette swapped scheme of the Raw and Smackdown championships, is stupid and poopy.

The WWE logo isn't as pronounced on the Tag belts as it is on the other belts. Gotta get that branding out there!

That was a fun gimmick even if the medal was poo poo.

I also expect the NXTUK rounds thing could be a fun gimmick but sadly it's on a show I'll never watch.
