I'm aware the why, don't care what they call it. No one in the last 20 fucking years ever said "Hey I got tickets to the sports entertainment show this Friday, want to go watch our favorite superstars in a sports entertainment match together?" It was some Vince hang up and it never bothered me, mostly because I'm always watching whatever else other than WWE post Ruthless Aggression era.
Bad take from me, shouldn't lump it with the product placements, but those irritated the hell out of me. Reminds me of that one promotion that had a big nestle crunch advert in the middle of their mat in the 90s. I can't remember the company but it was pretty damn tacky.
Yeah I guess I'm wrong, it's much better when he was around to do two matches before going on the shelf for eight months. Bring back Mr. Glass.
As for the empty arena I'm with you on that one, WrestleTix has them on average of 3k to 5k attendance per show, which isn't too shabby and would look much better in a smaller venue and I'd be all for that. I'm assuming Mr. White Claw doesn't give a shit and is happy to just fill the seats facing hard cam to give the illusion that they're capable of doing arena shows like WWE are, thus "competing" with them. Which gets you murdered on social media but casuals tuning in doesn't look at that stuff, and AEW fans wouldn't care. Those who bitch (like you) either don't watch or hate watch so who cares?
My mistake on the Gunther and Sami match, that was night one. And it went 15 minutes. Gunther losing in a 15 minute match is -_-!
there was only two one on one match on night one excluding Rhea and Becky because that's a woman's match.
Usos going for about 11 minutes (11!!!) and Gunther and Sami going for 15.
Being it was night one there wouldn't be any fear of a mat classic overshadowing Roman and Cody's main event. They should've gone 20-25 and give people who you know... want to watch wrestling something to see on the fucking show. Old man yelling at clouds.
Also, hearing a lot of people saying "so refreshing they're calling it professional wrestling again!"
astronaut meme always has been don't need them to say it, I'd trade them keep calling it sports entertainment and superstars over them calling it pro wrestling while plastering vodka ads and prime drinks on the fucking mats.
I think they dropped the ball when they didn't rebrand Jack Perry as Jungle Punk and let him wear long bois and come out to a DDP's entrance level rip off to cult of personality.
And yes, CM Punk is everything Jon Moxley said he is.
Only reason he's on his best behavior now is because the little weasel knows he can't big-time talents backstage in WWE like he could've in AEW.
Never a fan of the guy, was glad he went away, made money betting against him in UFC (love him for that) and said at the time when he joined AEW this guy is going to be nothing but problems in the long run. Turned it he was nothing but problems in a short run.
Seth came out looking like a total geek at the end getting no offense and being a literal shield for Cody in shield gear. Not a great weekend for Seth, heel turn incoming?
Undertaker's cameo jumped the shark. They could've done a bigger brawl but instead opted for an one person comes out does his spot, next person comes out do their spot on the previous person. As someone who watched the attitude era I found that segment to be lacking. Roman won so many matches via interference you'd think a mob would've been out there to exact their pound of flesh while the Bloodline hold the line (fantasy booking I'll stop)
Gunther and Sami match was meh when compared to the match with Walter and Ilja Dragunov. Sami is a bigger star than Chad Gable but they could've tore the canopy off with Gunther and Gable in a 40 minute classic. God knows they had the time seeing how the main event ended before 10:40. I don't dislike Sami but the helluva kick is such a weak finisher.
Saw the cash in weeks ago, it had karma's a bitch written all over it, personally I didn't feel need CM Punk injected into it. Would've been better (IMO) if CM Punk didn't and can spend the next few weeks smiling and nodding saying I prayed for this and it happened. But instead we'll get 'I made it happen.' which to me is very heavy handed Meh it's wrestling for the wrestling audience.
Overall it was a fun two evenings. But the REAL main event is this Wednesday night!
I don't remember the details but since he was wearing a mask or some shit for the construction trespass and that got dropped. So they fined him and gave him some kind of sentence to get it on record, which is more or less a get the fuck out of our country and don't come back.
You'd think they'll just use AI and retouch so they have more time to spend bitching about things on twitter, dilate or some shit.
That Trouble in Pairs card literally looks like what would happen if you set the cfg to 20 with sdxl, prompts and some good loras and then paste the axe guy in front.
guy sold at like 32 or something, short term he looks like a doofus but long term he'll look like a genius when the stock plummets down to near single digits.
Also where do the real wsb congregate these days? reddit wsb is pure ass.
ahhh I gotta go to bed but her point is Easter floats and this trans day doesn't. But you could, and I do, argue that they picked late march because sooner or later the dates would match and they can play victim saying "it's the same day every year you're the ones being unreasonable and transphobic."
I don't have a lot to say except believing in Jesus Christ is an act of faith. No one can say definitively God exist, or Jesus died for our sins and came back from the dead three days later and believing in Jesus's sacrifice is the only path towards salvation. No one can say deadass that's what happened, hence having faith.
But when I see a dudes with fucking dicks and liberals are telling me they're women, bruh that's the opposite of faith, that's denial of the reality right in front of me. And you got no leg to stand on to criticize my religion because you're clearly delusional.
That look on her face is like I thought I was supposed to be the crazy person in the group?
Read the new Catwoman this week because I just found out they put her back in the 90s purple catsuit. And TMI I was a teenager in the 90s so that suit GOAT in my mind.
I flipped through a few past issues the main plot is she's been given 9 lives and is using the lives to do some stupid stuff. But mostly it's just Catwoman doing caper shit in that outfit, honestly didn't see too much woke shit in it but then again I didn't read all the text.
But I thought, I would hit up a LCS again and buy more comics if they just put out stuff like this, no woke shit, no anti-sex agenda, more deliberate cheesecake framing. I mean that's not why I read comics 90% of the time but at least I can be honest about it unlike fans of women's wrestling.
Not exactly the same, Jon Stewart sold his suite at 829% over estimate is not the same as Trump going to the bank asking for a loan and inflating his property value and fudge square space and whatever to make it happen. I know this is not the audience for it but it's not a good argument. I'm basing this off getting a loan from the bank and overinflating the asset used as collateral is a bigger deal because if you default on the loan the bank take the asset and finds out they can't hock it for the amount to recoup the debt they can come after your ass for lying. That said, people like me have to go to the bank hat in hand while they checked me for polyps to get a home loan, getting hundreds of millions in loans approved and the banks don't do their own assessments? Bull fucking shit.
I didn't watch Jon Stewart's video but I read parts of it and he said Kevin O’Leary said the quiet part out loud. No shit sherlock, that's not the point, the point is everybody does it AND THE BANK LETS THEM DO IT. You don't think the bank read the fucking loan applicant and go hmm... maybe this guy's bathroom isn't four stories tall and 15,000 sq ft. (too late and lazy to pull actual numbers)
Only difference is New York only went after Trump for it with a bullshit carney law and an even more carney judge.
You want to go after everyone and fine the banks and all those DNC backing New York businesses with the same thing? No? So it is just about getting Trump. Then we got nothing to talk about. Fucking hypocrites. Yeah Stewart, Kevin said the quiet part out loud, that's the point, it doesn't expose him, it exposes you.
I won't die because if I fail to convince a random normie in 5 minutes it's because they're not normies.
Edit: My pitch
Me: You watch CNN? Fox News?
Normie: I watch (channel name here)
Me: Are you aware they're just as agenda based as (other channel name here)
Normie: Yeah, of course, duh!
if they say "no I don't believe that"
Me: Think about it for a second.
one second later:
Normie: Yeah, of course, derp!
I literally checked just 2 weeks ago (Feb 25th on my browser history) to see if he was still alive and kicking. We lost a legend and a key figure of my childhood... I going to bed sad now :-(
I remember playing the NES DBZ game Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza and I didn't speak or read any Japanese but loved Dragon Ball so much that I trial and error it and ended up pretty far in the game. I'm watching Red vs Blue and some DBZ movies this weekend.
I still remember downloading the videos and watching it on divx or some shit in 2003 and busting a gut with my friends. Holy shit, that was 20 years ago... I was young can drink a case of beer a night. Now I'm old and eating spicy food makes me feel like I've been stabbed like Caesar.
Never watched past season 2 or 3, it kinda just petered out. Maybe this weekend I'll load it up on youtube and hoist a Bass ale and go down memory lane.
By marking out you mean finally ending all the speculation and rumor to one of the biggest to happen in wrestling in 2023?
Yes. I'm glad we get to see it.
And no, Mr. Glass isn't compelling, Drew Mcintyre carried him. and his commentary game was weak. Both pre-show and in the booth.
