Marvez is really fuckin' bad and so far out of his depth - if he's someone's son or something he needs to be sent to another department of production where his creepy rear end isn't actively ruining the commentary with gems like "Look at the size of Kong's hands"

I thought the set looked amazing and wanted that venue to be like AEW home base it looked so good - so if he wants to dream about more poo poo from south park and it keeps turning out awesome then go for it

One thing that scared me last night was I noticed this on all four ring posts, between the top and middle turnbuckles. Someone could've have been seriously hosed up:



Yeah thats weird. Didnt someone do a post spot that would have hit that?

As much as we endlessly point out how lovely WWE is in the WWE thread it would be unfair to get upset about people being unhappy with AEW in the AEW thread even if it is comparing apples to oranges in quality

It's fun and people respond to it but forcing the last part that night instead of just saying good bye and good night was a weird choice

The boing was in place of a BAM that he'd shout while mimicking killing someone with a gun. It was a gun violence charity show.

Yeah, I got that - but why not just skip the bang part altogether and walk away after the first two lines and a bow or the smooch or something

It's like he absolutely had to finish the catch phrase so badly he had to substitute the final word and why bother lol

Then again now we're thinking about it way more than he probably did and I was just curious is all

That’s always the funniest part about WWE. They over complicate literally every aspect of wrestling when at the end of the day all you need is a quick basic set up.

With roughly 600 writers filtered through one old man always on the verge of a mental apocalypse this will happen

Who gives a gently caress about that sincerely

Yeah there's a huge difference when they are both two of the biggest stars in the world and one is currently main eventing for every promotion that has existed and are both still relevant

Some on the internet like to act like it's Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder facing each other or something

I just checked and lol Chris Jericho has wrestled 9 matches in the last two years

The dude genuinely may not be able to physically handle being the main attraction of a new promotion

The great thing about Jericho is that he can be there every week and be entertaining without having a match. Then when he has a match it can feel like a big deal.

Yeah but a champ who literally doesn't wrestle isn't a draw

How long can AEW sell tickets with "See our champ I dunno maybe cut a promo" for months at a time

The current WWE champion is their biggest draw and wrestles like four times a year - it will be fine

Also television hasn't even started yet and we don't know that Jericho will be champion or that he will not wrestle regularly. We know nothing about how the weekly show will play out but continue to think the sky is fallin'

I would agree with you if it was a company with a house show circuit but if the TV show is the only wrestling they do all week I feel like its not a bad idea

WWE house shows are drawing like high school gym levels of attendance right now but you know that already with your head in the sand

Orange Carlisle

Mel Mudkiper posted:

I am not sure what that has to do with what I said

I said if you do house shows, its dumb to make your champ wrestle all the time, but if you don't, your champ will stay healthy doing one match a week so why not.

You don't want your champ wrestling all the time regardless is the point

poo poo isn't special if you get it all the time and it doesn't matter if there's a house show circuit, weekly tv, podcasts, streaming shows, ham radio shows on a network or a fuckin' telegram being sent about it constantly

I feel like his gimmick would seriously have diminishing returns for me. Like it's hysterical in doses but if it's the same exact story being told over and over I feel like I'd get bored.

I mean you have to see how funny this is being that you watch and defend WWE television weekly, right? They beat storylines into the ground and more or less put on the same show with the same wrestlers facing each other in the same matches for months at a time.

I'm not trying to poke at you or being sarcastic when I say you'd be the last person I'd expect to get bored with anything.
