General Wrestling Thread

The people who I know who are into wrestling absolutely hate him and think he's so past it. Which is kind of emblematic of the issues of today's characterless, suspension of disbelief destroying wrestlers.

When I was still into it I used to listen to his podcasts. I'm glad to know I'm not his only fan.

No, they just don't understand how wrestling actually works. AEW should just be renamed Abject Entitled Wankers, special guest starring appearances by half a dozen people who actually know what they're doing to try and lend an air of credibility.

A billionaire's play thing but the difference is this billionaire doesn't have 40 years of industry credit in the bank.
 
It's only wrestling. If the average fan likes it and spends their money on it then there's very little harm. Some people go into far to much detail and get worked up by so little these days.

It's only wrestling. Enjoy it for what it is.

I understand your perspective, but I can't say I feel anywhere near as strongly as yourself. It's only wrestling. When I stopped liking it as much I just stopped watching; there's no point getting angry over something that's supposed to be entertainment.

I've watched part of the clip, it pissed me off, I will never see it again.

It's only anything in life, I just dislike people who make a mockery of stuff I have enjoyed.

Yeah that's like Cornette isn't it? I completely understand your position.

Finisher spam, a million near falls, spotfests, characters like Joey Ryan, King Meltzer, constant kayfabe breaking (this is what the straw that broke my back), over emphasis on athleticism, the rise of entitled smarks, shitty/no selling, 50/50 booking, cool heels, wrestlers who look like shit, wrestlers who look like I could beat them in a fight, 50 suicide dives a match and probably more. If I'd grown up watching the stuff of the territorial days I'd be in despair watching the modern stuff.

Like I've said personally I can't get too wound up. But I 100% get your perspective, if I have it right at least.

You do indeed.
 
AEW - Amateur Eejit Wankers


That will be their main event at the next "10 people watching on Twitter" show.

Chris Jericho & The Mat vs Hands in pockets & The Mat Twatter.
Have you seen Jericho lately? I'm pretty sure he'll be preoccupied by his ongoing feud with Luke Shaw over canteen rights.

Yes, he's taking the piss there but who can blame him. Silly money from a numpty who wants to play wrestling. That family's pedigree and prowess summed up by the tits up job they did at Fulham after they got back up.

Yeah tbf it's not like they're going to tell him to lose the weight and risk pissing him off. I just looked at their roster and he's they're only majorly recognisable name. There's a dinosaur that does lucha, I wonder how that works?

You know they run the Jacksonville Jaguars in the US too? Apparently NFL players were recently advised against signing for them recently by the player union.
 


Aaaaaaand this is why AEW will be done in a years time. Because this was the only reason it's a thing. Tony wanted some wrestler friends, and wanted to be a star.

Might as well hire Russo and speed up the decline.

He's better suited sticking to wanking off dogs to be honest.

Russo would be quality. They could have a Tony Khan on a pole match.
 
Wow goldberg won the title from the fiend bray wyatt

Does Vince realise it is 2020 not 2000

Just watched it. Utter bullshit.

Lesnar squashing Ricochet, Taker squashing AJ and Goldberg squashing Fiend....BULL. SHIT.

Absolute wank booking, shitting on all their own build up.
