Yuppp. Shit like AJ’s return story is universally appealing to any audience, AEW just does not have the concept of telling human stories that connect with people watching
The toni storm stuff could work until she started being cringe
>>18821453Storyline? Sting and Darby was magic, aew really specializes in having good matches first so stories aren't so deep, Hell, Toni and Mariah was fun too
>>18821453He only likes AJ because she reminds him of himself when he was a child
the non wrestling members of your family think you're a fucking loser if you bug them to watch shit regardless of company. >HEY HEY COME LOOK AT THIS. YEAH THIS 40 YEAR OLD WOMAN SKIPPING IN SHORT SHORTS IT'S FUCKING COOL MAN CAUSE...and now you're just the autist giving info on that WWE shit. and if it was instead >HEY HEY COME LOOK AT THIS. YEAH SEE THIS COWBOY GUY IN THE PANTS HE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHAGGY HAIRED GUY IN THOSE PANTS BECAUSE...and now you're just the autist giving info on that WWE shit because they can't even tell the difference and think it's all WWE shit. You're a loser regardless and they just want to be left alone to get back to literally anything else they were doing.
>>18821527>small Indian boy posting has returnedWe're so fucking back
>>18821461>>18821474Toni and Mariah was the one. That was even getting some media coverage beyond just the typical scope of dirtsheets. It was probably the closest AEW will come to having any shot of crossover appeal. Too bad they couldn’t keep May and turned Toni’s act into a caricature of itself since
>>18821453>Shit like AJ’s return story is universally appealing to any audienceBabe! Kids! Come quick! There's a 40 year old woman dressed like a 14 year old skipping!
>>18821453>MOOOOM! >DAAAAD! COME DOWN TO THE BASEMENT! 40 YEAR OLD AJ LEE IS PRANCING LIKE A SCHOOL GIRL YOURE GONNA LOVE IT
>>18821576Was that the one where Toni dropped her gimmick and then got her ass kicked just to reveal she had tricked everyone and didn’t actually drop her gimmick. And the whole thing served no purpose cause tricking people into thinking she had amnesia just led to get getting her ass kicked?
Some of you don’t have emotionally and stylistically stunted wives who would fight for you and it shows.
>>18821594>Bloody fuck you Raj! We're not watching that shit again! When you gonna become doctor like brother? Watching wrestling all day like big kid. It's bloody fake you know?!
>>18821604I am dating a little Indian boy. Is that close enough?
>>18821601No, because that isn’t what actually happened. You’re just regurgitating what dirtsheets assumed it would beThere was no amnesia part to it. The way it actually played out is that after she lost the belt to May at All In Toni essentially lost her way and set out around the world wrestling in places like Japan and Mexico trying to re-find herself. That led to her trying to start over where she began with AEW which is where her switching back to her old shtick happened. She eventually did find herself once she started winning matches again and then used the situation to turn the tables on Mariah during their face to face before their title match
>”hey mom! Moooommmmmmmm!!!! AJ Lee is back! Come downstairs and look, she’s got her old music and everything!”>mom realizes another year will pass without you getting a job or apartment or relationship >”maaaaaa!!!! Bring down more toilet paper!!!!!!”
>>18821676No she was on the ground bloody and beaten going “I tricked you!” Cause modern talent don’t understand the first thing about story telling.
>>18821676Holy reddit
>>18821676Retcon might actually work if AEW had spent the time checking in on Toni every week, but they didn't. They just ignored her until she returned to AEW TV.
>>18821717Nope. You’re mixing different parts of the story together for your straw man. You’re still wrong regarding the context anyway>don’t understand the first thing about story telling.The irony of this is phenomenal
>>18821738If you’re so versed in what is and isn’t reddit then it sounds like you should probably go back
>>18821546>40 YEAR OLD WOMAN SKIPPING IN SHORT SHORTS!!!!That is better than a 56 year old man shitting in his wheelchair.
>>18821546>>18821586>>18821594Post it one more time bro we didn’t see it the first time
>>18821750It isn’t retcon though. Toni was teaming with Mina while she was in Japan which was acknowledged during Mina’s feud with Mariah. I agree it would’ve been better of them to keep up with her more in that regard. Considering she never actually stopped wrestling or disappeared
>>18821453Not a story, but that Orange Cassidy vs Pac match from 2019 or 2020 was the PERFECT match to show non-fans.
>>18821800That match is still clip-farmed for millions of views by Indians to this day, unironically probably one of the most viral matches of the social media era
>>18821759I’m literally a best selling author.
