AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

Welcome back. You can’t quit this shit.

 

I've been slowly inching towards 2000 WCW. I'm in like Mid 98. Sting is back. Omg.

I may have to pick a random 2000 Nitro and bask in it.

 

Hell yeah. I’ve started a movement.

 

The six New York Rules matches at a taping in Tennessee is going to be hard to top.

 

Should we set up a watch along?

 

You guys can complain about bad content but I just think it’s stupid TK basically runs his entire promotion through his twitter account. And it’s the bad version of twitter to boot

 

The loud "Fuck CM Punk" chants go to a different school, you wouldn't know her were all off air

 

Miro when Tony Khan tells him he's tacking on injury time onto his current contract

 

Lana is apparently with Damian Priest now. All about the gold around the waist, brother.

 

I guess that means she's with Riddle now too

 

I’d prefer if they launched the briefcase into space, but the fact they make the holder always come to the ring holding it is dumb.

 

48 yrs old. #thankyouTrish

 

Cool to see this scene after Priest cashed in.

 

Look at the name of the person Dave replies to LOL

 

that was like when they reset DX after WM14

 

Now a whole new audience gets to find out how mid Tama Tonga is

 

Perry just got some nuclear heat for his entrance at this New Japan Chicago show.

 

Ludwig Kizer is one lucky man sheesh

 

doesn't sound like nuclear heat to me, like I said before the footage would make him a hero to that fanbase, he should turn on the Bucks

 

Tiffany winning the women's MITB and running around with a pink briefcase seems like a lock

 

Perry did the Punk running knee into the corner and then called for the GTS

 

Should have put Sammy Guevara in there..

 

Styles and Cody in Paris would be fun, AJ 100% called them "freedom fries" at some point 20 years ago

 

And did it unironically

 

For the record my guess is Stat. There was a backstage interview posted on TouRube with Stat and Stokely and they were right beside Mercedes’ locker room

 

It’s Stat. Which doesn’t make much sense if Mercedes can’t fight until DoN?

 

Cody the most popular face since Cena’s prime?

 

he's selling more tickets than Cena's prime tbh

 

I didn’t watch during that time. My first inclination was Stone Cold but he was kind of a tweener.

 

they are in the best ticket selling period since the prime of Rock and Austin

 

Does anyone have a link to the site that host WWE programming as it airs? Not sure if it’s daily motion or something along those lines.

For some reason YTTV didn’t record Smackdown this week for me.

 

How much stronger you need to get bro, this is like the 4th time you’ve had to come back stronger it seems. Dude trying to use that zenkai boost

 

Sounds like he needs to visit AJ Styles’ “exotic pharmacist”

 

Danielson’s WM30 run is probably the only thing that comes close to Cody now and since peak Cena, and that was lightning in a bottle even with Danielson’s greatness.

Cena would’ve probably been more liked if Vince didn’t book him as Super Cena, which certainly had more adults in the fan base turn against him.

Cody being so over in this era despite being an old school (and certainly at times corny) white meat babyface is insanely impressive.

 

Moxley just became the first wrestler in history to win the WWE, AEW, and IWGP Championships.

 

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

 

I think cena has been insanely more popular AFTER his wrestling prime where he was probably more polarizing. Although he had some incredible moments like the royal rumble return at MSG off the top of my head

 

Wonder if the Draft ends up being more like a Superstar Shakeup as opposed to the previous Drafts where like half the roster switches brands.

Obviously the dominoes fall after where they place Cody because of Rhea/Priest.

 

God go away forever. Hell, successful wrestlers crafts their promos in their home, their hotels, etc.

Also I wouldn’t call Logan great on the mic. He’s just ridiculously natural in the ring and has great heel charisma.

 

Good on Jungle Boy for cashing in on his ten minutes of relevance.

 

Gotta give it to him - he's really leaning into the curve. This is great heel work.
