He's kinda correct in that NXT isn't really developmental either, it's more of uncle Paul's private indie promotion.

I guess this was before Vince decided that the good Baron is actually the ideal alpha male that will draw endless hordes of horny ladies to the shows.

No, I get making excuses for people who make you personally feel good no matter how horrible they may be. That's just regular old FYGM assholery. What I don't get is making excuses for people who are obviously contemptuous of you and just poo poo all over the fans on a regular basis.

Leaving the stanning for genocidaires aside, I like the implication that the plucky Saudi government was finally able to get a women's match as if the reason for why they didn't have any previously wasn't the Saudi government themselves.

Now I'm no expert, but I'm pretty drat sure that Cody diving onto the entrance ramp and eating poo poo was more legit dangerous than anything they did in Mox vs Kenny. Also you don't even need to continue the Mox/Kenny feud right away. Like, just keep them separated for a while and then do another match when the craziness of this one has faded into memory. This isn't hard.

I haven't even been posting in this here subforum for super long and even I immediately realized that rovert was like a million times more interested in trying to make people jealous of his supposed secret knowledge than he was about actually informing people. Basically he was the forums gossip and good loving riddance.

Vince has poisoned peoples' brains to such an extent that they can't comprehend any subtlety whatsoever in wrestling stories and not always even when they have things explicitly spelled out to them in some 30 minute Triple H promo.

The only explanation for WWE hardcore fans that I have at this point is that they realize on some level that what they're watching is just plain poo poo and that better alternatives exist, but are also so invested in being WWE fans that they develop this desperate compulsion to tear down everything else so they can pretend that the alternatives are equally bad and hence they're justified in eating up whatever rancid turds Vince's misfiring brain produces and asking for seconds.

MJeff posted:The discourse around Ibushi for years was that he just needed to sign and he would get a rocket strapped to him. So his first year after signing being that he got some wins against main eventers and then gave them all back within months is hilarious. Even if it was all technically the right booking, it's hilarious. As I recall, the discourse was that he didn't get any major titles because he wasn't under a real contract. Since he signed he's been IC champ and won the G1, and he hasn't even been under contract for a year. That ain't exactly a burial.

My dream match is that Yano finally gets his title shot and whoever the champ is comes in all relaxed and wearing a cup and all smiles because they'll just win real easy. Then about one minute into the match they suddenly realize that it's serious Yano.

They should still be on the boat, yes.Davros1 posted:I was thinking about that Cody/MJF promo where MJF dropped the mic and kicked it away from Cody. If that had been WWE, and HHH, HHH would've Pedigreed MJF after he kicked the mic, and then revealed that he had a second mic in the pocket of his jacket, showing just how much smarter he was than MJF. Instead Cody showed that he's smart by enlisting the Bucks to come help him because he knew that MJF would get arrogant and because he's a babyface and has friends and they look out for each other like friends do, thus getting everybody involved over, giving the audience what they want and moving the story forward organically all in one relatively short segment.

Lamuella posted:And advanced the story without damaging anyone in the story. Yeah, as I said everybody left that segment more over than they were when it started. Cody proved that he isn't an idiot and he's not gonna take this poo poo lying down which is loving awesome, and also something that WWE would never do. MJF got humiliated and now he'll definitely be out for revenge and I want to know what he'll come up with. This also easily lets them stretch the story out until Revolution without it feeling contrived because the suspense is there. The Bucks showed they they're there for Cody and now they'll be written into the larger story as well as a counterweight to MJF's henchmen. It's loving great, is what it is. Simple, logical booking is such a breath of fresh air.

22 Eargesplitten posted:Edited my post, that might have been who I was thinking of. I know very little of WWE/WCW history and even less about any of the Japanese promotions. I got back into wrestling from a goon posting a link to AEW Dark after previously having watched Smackdown on TV before I even had broadband internet. Most of the stuff people talk about in these threads ends up being vague memories attached to things I do know the meaning of, which ends up being pretty AEW-centric because that's the only thing I consistently watch. Although I picked up a fite.tv subscription so I don't have to deal with commercials for Dynamite, so maybe I'll start watching more Indies. New Japan is probably the best promotion in the world right now and you should do yourself a favor and check it out.
