*Jobs clean as a whistle to the guy who looks like an Auschwitz survivor* AEW is impossible to take seriously, it may as well be Barney.
>>16187921I have no respect for Buddy. How could you look like that and agree to job to Adam Cole? He should have put his foot down like Miro does.
>>16187928Miro wouldn't even job to Hangman who at least looks like a grown man
>>16187940>who at least looks like a grown manLol. I wouldn't wanna job to that fag that wears women's jeans either.
>>16187928He's in autopilot mode I see him finishing up his new contract and leaving wrestling for the fitness influencer life or something
>>16187928His contract was up and Tony paid him a shit ton of money to stay. I don’t think he cares how he’s used.
>>16187968He could still get paid without jobbing to dimeless midgets.
>>16188025I agree but if that was really a concern he would have left.
>>16187921HES HULKING OUT BROTHER
>>16187921But enough about Drew vs Punk
>>16188255Jesus Christ
>>16188255I would have just fucking shot on him after this. I'd pay good money to see Buddy rip his arm out of his socket and put him on the shelf for good. He has absolutely no place in a wrestling ring and even the trannies in the audience were starting to turn on him during the match. These are the kind of fans who don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by booing the babyface and even they have (finally) had enough of this shit.
>>16187968I'm trying to remember if he's ever gotten to do anything worthwhile. In WWE he was the Brock Lesnar of 205 squashing midgets, that was probably his peak presentation wise. Then there was that short period when he and Malakai had those matches with each other on the main roster. Then they both left for AEW and since then he's just been a henchman in the spooky squad. But money and miles I guess. But it's ironic that he went from squashing midgets to jobbing to emancipated Adam Cole lol
>>16188283He got released. He had some good matches with Andrade and Darby but he’s done nothing singles wise. He squashed some AEW dark guy, beat yuta and kommander. Then lost every other match kek.
>>16188255tony really is mentally disabled
>>16187921Buddy is great. One of the most jacked dudes in the business. Solid worker. He'd be world champion material if could cut a promo and wasn't 5'5.
>>16188344He can cut a promo. He just doesn’t get into any situations where he can do it often.
>>16188344The ironic thing is that in a sane world Buddy would have someone like Adam Cole as his mouthpiece instead of being forced to job to him in utterly unbelievable fashion.
Say what you will about his career, but he got to bang prime Bliss and now he's banging Rhea
>>16188361Should’ve been Julia doing the talking. Then they moved her to do Brody stuff then made her solo and boom injury.
>>16187921Would anons say Buddy has had a successful career? He's probably never signed a huge money deal, but given Tony's fat contracts, and Buddy's longevity, Buddy has probably earned several million over the years. I'd call that successful.
>>16188355I always find those aussie/kiwi accents slightly awkward sounding for wrestling. Supposedly Jay White was meant to be a good talker but then he just sounded kinda funny to me with that New Zealand accent. I was also surprised when I heard Bronson Reed talk for the first time after I started watching WWE again, didn't realize he's from Australia as well. But he can get away with it since he's this big fat Samoan. Only Samoan in WWE who's actually from that region lol
They actively punish guys who care enough about their job to go the gym.
>>16188372Eh. It’s more of a “could be better” situation. You can absolutely do more with him and he’s like what, 35? Thats peak age.
>>16188375You can tell when the accents start to ruin a promo. I think it depends on the topic. Rhea is absolutely cringe.
>>16188372Earning 7 figures as a wrestler is a huge and rare accomplishment. Anyone who earns 1 million+ over their career is a success.
>>16188365>>16188361I always imagine him tagging with Juice and Jay instead of HOB, but the spooky guys are good friends so they probably don't want to split up. But it just doesn't work for me when someone's trying to seem dark and intimidating but sounds like Crocodile Dundee
>>16188377At this point I'm sure Tony just has to find big muscular guys unrelatable, and is self inserting as the skinny guys. He's like a reverse Vince where he actively dislikes big guys. Whatever happened to Wardlow and Hobbs?
>>16188400They were injured but rumors had wardlow backstage on Wednesday and Hobbes will be back soon.
>>16188391What are the biggest milestones/achievements in a wrestler's career? For me, it's>first paid match>first match on TV>working in front of a live audience of 1K+>working in front of a live audience of 10K+>earning 100K+ over your career>earning 1 mil+ over your career>earning 10 mil+ over your career (rare)>working the Dome>working Mania
>>16188405Stop at 5.
>>16188405Nutting inside the hottest women on the roster, and he got to creampie peak Alexa
>>16187940>Hangman who at least looks like a grown man
>>16187949Probably re-signed until Malakai’s was finished. I don’t think it was a long one.
>>16188405>fuck 10 rats>fuck 100 rats>fuck 1000 rats>retire without an STD
>>16187921>it may as well be Barneyno that's WWE, which is literally programming for retarded children
>>16187921Even the biggest marks in attendance were booing Cole for looking like shit.What's worse is that they're building up to a massive Australia show, he is their only Australian talent and they do nothing with him.
>>16188439why does Tony keep copying it then?
>>16188444Cole has such a bad look in general, he looks so naked without any knee or elbow pads. Just looks like a flabby dude in underwear. Then he also slicks back that greasy hair which accentuates the receded hairline
>>16188444KyleBuddy ToniJayHell Harley has been getting more tv time But only one of those Aussies tried to get out of the company.
>>16188459Yuck.
>>16188283His highlight so far in aew was hard to explain but I'm going to try.>Hook and Wheeler Yuta are set up to feud in some backstage segment that's badly executed>Hook had been pinned once (which was very badly built to and badly paid off), he had been completely undefeated otherwise>There was no reason for any of this>Yuta is some ROH champion, Hook is the ftw champion>There is a cold tag match in the middle of a Dynamite show>Yuta pins Hook in a flat finish with no set up at all and no one mentioning Hook's record >2 days later Buddy squashes Yuta on Rampage for no reasonThat's literally the most significant singles accomplishment of his aew run, and it built to him jobbing another 2 days later to Claudio on a preshow.
>>16188460>KyleOh yeah, I forgot about him and his tag partner, despite them being in a big angle. The nature of a badly produced show.>BuddyYes>ToniKiwi>JayKiwi>Hell Harley has been getting more tv timeWell she's basically a trainee but I also forgot about her, true.
>>16188483cuckstralians are all cringe antidraws, unfortunately.
>>16188463Legit looks like some guy that was binge drinking home alone and somehow ended up in a wrestling ring
>>16188500Nah, Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin were monster draws. Tony is just a shit booker
>>16188518Which is funny because buddy used to have a Dundee gimmick.
>>16188448why do you keep gaining weight?
>>16188525sorry that Tony Khan can't think of his own wrestling ideas :(
>>16187949His wife makes enough money anyway, he can be her big buff boytoy.
>>16188543He makes let’s say 100k a yearShe makes almost a mill with merch sales Comfy.
>>16188554Except he's sharing sloppy seconds with all her black road husbands.
>>16188530sorry that you can't lose weight and will die a fat virgin lol
>>16187948damn. I don't remember the stunner being this fucking jacked. no wonder he got such a giga push.
>>16188255this kind of shit is lame as fuck and needs to stop. I gave a pass to cody when he did it against AJ, but enough is enough.
>>16187921Buddy was the baddie and got cheers and chants, Cole didn't get any love from the fans at all. Didn't Cole even get booed some?
>>16187921>Auschwitz survivor >Survivor Ummmm.....wasn't it a death camp???? Bros????
>>16188587There were some boos after he pinned Buddy, mixed in with some cheers after Cole said something. Like people weren't really behind it, but then yeah woo I guess we'll cheer Adam Cole
>>16188605based AEW fans will turn on Adam like they did to Cawdy
>>16188463>fans chant "hit the gym!">cole cuts some sobby promo about how he's too injured to lift>arena is uncomfortably silent. everyone feels awkward.>tony thinks this is great wrestling TV
>>16188587>baddieHeel. Lurk for two years to learn board culture before posting, tourist.
>>16188587Yeah and the crowd was counting him out when they looked at his foot.
>>16188652>too injured to lift but can just Chug up and kick out at 1 after a roid monster heems himYeah, that would be Tony booking alright
>>16188652AEW is a great tragedy if you think about it.
has Atom started banging his hot simp yet?
>>16188733She’s married
>>16188734she's given him a lot of her husband's money so I'm sure that wouldn't be an issue
>>16188652>Adam Cole is out of shape. He needs to hit the gym.
>>16188733Thing is, if that girl actually got together with Cole, she'd probably lose interest, because he's not unattainable anymore. Women seem to like men who are hard to get, but if he's actually available then the allure is gone. Or then she'd be the type of psycho where you wake up one morning and your dick has been cut off
>>16187968He could still do what Miro and Andrade did. Take the money but refuse to job your character out for nothing in return. Miro has it made. He either gets to chill at home and make free money, or get the matches he needs wants, or get fired and return to WWE. Andrade did it too.It looks like Starks and Danhausen have figured it out too. Buddy can do it too.He must not care at this point and just wants to wrestle and doesn't care about his career anymore.
>>16188750We do not post pics of ourselves here
>>16188772>what Miro and Andrade didI don't understand the legalities of what they did. A wrestling contract is for a certain minimum number of appearances per year, in exchange for a certain amount of money. If you say "no" to an appearance you're breaching, unless you have creative control. But surely Tony wouldn't give randos creative control?
>>16188772It’s too late for that. Hes 3-9. He can’t suddenly decide “I’m too good to lose” anymore. He should’ve done that when he lost to Daniel Garcia.
>>16188255>>16188281Buddy was clearly in on it. They were pissing on Seth Rollins with that spot. Just like they did to Brock with "the diverticulitis" move.It was to simultaneously make Rollins spot and finish look weak. And to make Cole look strong. "Look, the AEW guys are way tougher than the WWE guys Adam Cole kicked out of a high knee into the buckle bomb into the curbstomp...However they are retards.People are going to assume that Buddy is so weak that even with a rising knee into a buckle bomb into a curbstomp that he couldn't even put Adam Cole down for a 2...The goal of this was to mock Rollins but all it did was make Buddy look like shit.
“What’s up chugs! Today we’re going to bury a guy who’s significantly better in the ring than I am, and actually goes to the gym while my fans defend me because they self insert as an out of shape wrestler who’d rather play video games, let’s fucking go bros!“
>>16188786Tony doesn't actually plan his booking and then has some of his guys go to Andrade and say "you're going to be wrestling Adam and he's going over" but he does more of a peer reviewed group conversation where he listens to everyone and if Andrade says "no man, I don't want to do that" Tony picks another one of his dolls to do the job. It was the same with Vince but they wouldn't say they don't feel like it but make up some bullshit reasons why they have to go over.
>>16188808Good take, and it proves AEW producers are morons. The producer should be the one to tell them that spot might be funny to them but it makes Buddy look too weak so it's not going in.
>>16188564Austin was fucking jacked, he was just surrounded by freaks like Big Show, Taker and Kane.
>>16188822It's AEW. That spot was probably the producer's idea.
>>16188808That kind of wink to the fans is something for a house show, not national TV.
>>16188786>>16188772Isn't Miro on per appearance pay? Seems more like he just doesn't care to show up, when he can just chill in Bulgaria collecting money from the real estate he's invested in. Then he can just do a show if he wants some extra money. At least that's what I've read, that he was actually smart and bought properties in Bulgaria which are relative cheap globally considering, then he can just rent them out and live off that
>>16188822AEW producers time the match and make sure you're not using any banned moves without permission. That's it.
>>16188255Was this a rib or did Cole actually believe this would look cool?
>>16188808>to make Cole look strong
>>16188439And AEW is when the retarded children try to make their own programming based on Barney.
>>16188843I noticed they did a buckle bomb, I guess that's not banned in AEW? Even though it's the move that put Sting into early retirement in WWE. But then they also had Sting rappel in despite doing the Owen Hart tributes lol
>>16188786That's exactly what Tony has done though. His contracts are compared to the old WCW contracts. He's making the same mistakes. Overpaying, giving creative control, hot shotting his big matches.I make fun of Tony a lot. But I also do feel bad for him because you can tell he's a genuinely good dude. And you can tell he loves wrestling and he loves his employees. And he's naive. He's naive in thinking he can give people these lax contracts with creative freedoms and no set number of dates and that they won't abuse it.Like he lets Mercedes Moné use his fucking private jet. He trusts his performers too much.So yeah for all I say to make fun of Tony and his shitty booking I do have a heart too. I feel bad that he gets used. I think it's why Jericho sticks up for him so hard is because Jericho has been around the block and he knows how lucky it is that some of these newer guys have Tony. He knows how different Tony is to every other promoter ever.
>>16188255
>>16188845Three pronged effect. Shitting on Seth. Trying to make Cole look cool. Burying Buddy.
>>16188845You know, I'm a skinny bitch, but sometimes when I go take a shower I'll look at myself in the mirror like yeah I look pretty good. Maybe Cole has that going on and he doesn't even realize just how shit he looks to everyone else, especially if he doesn't watch the shows back, which they probably don't because why would they
>>16188255That dude in the black shirt on the far right is so into it and I wish I could’ve seen how deflated he got when Cole kicked out.
>>16188344He's as tall as Rhea, so probably 5'9, so Jericho-tier.
>>16188870Everyone's been shitting on his physique even when he was half in shape in NXT. He must be aware of it. He's the one who buried himself by telling that story about TSA agents not believing he's a wrestler.
>>16188879He’s taller than her. She’s 5”7. I’d say 5”8-5”9
>>16188860>you can tell he's a genuinely good dude. And you can tell he loves wrestling and he loves his employees. And he's naiveUltimately that's the problem, he's a fan, but he's also a mark. And even if kayfabe is dead or whatever, the business is still full of cutthroat carnies looking to fleece people. Then this Richie Rich shows up who's too pussywhipped to actually control his bitch, and they run all over him. Someone can be passionate about wrestling, but they also need to understand how things work and what the people involved are like. Like when Cornette ran SMW, it was ultimately pretty much just a throwback passion project, but he called all the shots to keep some consistency
>>16188889Then he's just a massive self mark, he's breaking down and over the hill, but still wants to go over people like Hulk Hogan
>>16188750This shitter is likely on a 7 figure contract courtesy of the biggest money mark in the business. You get to look like Adam Cole if you're a Twitch streamer, not if you're a professional wrestler. The fattest slob in the crowd would be 100 percent justified to tell Adam Cole to hit the fucking gym. The fans paid good money to watch a pro wrestling show. If you're watching some unathletic skinnyfat dweeb flop all over the ring like a wet sack of shit then you're being ripped off. And this is doubly true when he gets a clean win over an actual wrestler who just carried him kicking and screaming to a watchable match.
>>16188905I hope he fucks one of the Young Buck's wives then we get a recording of him saying that word, brother.
>>16188930The young bucks would be able to cuck Adam Cole I think.
>>16188928>likely on a 7 figure contractThe rumor was he got Jericho/Moxley money when he first signed. in 2021.
>>16188938Sure, they probably already have with how many dicks Brit has been taking since dumping Cole. The joke was that Hulk's friend offered his wife and the Bucks are friends with Cole so i picked them. Plus I just want audio of Cole talking about eating like a pig while he hopes his future daughter will at least marry a nigger with millions of dollars instead of a broke one.
