AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BAH GAWD PATT IS SHOOTING
>Wrestlemania ticket sales are bad >Smackdown ratings are down >WWE sucks with Cody Rhodes on topthat'll sell tickets
oh boy Triple Cuck is fucking CLUELESS
>>20179771What the fuck this is worse than hornswoggle as gm
>>20179771Unironically anyone calling themselves WWE fans on this board should be ostracized
God I wish I could bet on random things because I would definitely bet the house on a TK tweet plugin AEW in the next few hours
>>20179840btw those are quotes of what pat actually said during his promo. Paul is a fucking retard.
Pat as Orton's hype man is kino. You fags complain about literally everything.
You aewists are just mad he shat all over your midget indy wrestling sideshow
>>20179771Damn, a nutchoppa from the MacaDooMeister??!?
>>20179771>PANIC>DESPERATION>Now they need McAfee to sell tickets LOLOLThe money has to be good to be prostituting yourself like this
>>20179771I genuinely can not believe how bad WWE has gotten
>>20179771MAKE THE FED GREAT AGAIN
This is some truly rotten shit.
>2025>Cena turns heel on Cody>Travis Scott turns heel and is involved >2026>Orton turns heel on Cody>Pat McAfee turns heel and is involved
>>20179904It's just aew trannys false flagging.
>>20179771based mcaffee
>>20180009nah, this year is different. it's not just Pat, Jelly Roll is part of the storyline too
>>20180009>2027>El Grande Americano turns heel on Cody>Peso Pluma is involved
>>20180009Its long term storytelling.
honestly this is indefensibleit's crazy how much lil Paulie fumbled the ballhe had so much good will even till early 2025 and after that it's been nothing but FUMBLEafter FUMBLEafter FUMBLEafter FUMBLE...
tko is going to kill wwe
>>20179976and yet AEW is slated to get about 9000 fans in a building that holds 18000 for their next PPV
>>20180168WWE in 2025 was the most profitable year any wrestling company has ever had in the history of the industry, and the numbers are slated to go up even further this year no matter how much of a little faggot you are and you and your queer little friends spam shitty comments everywhere
>>20180175so?
i fucking LOVE laughing at WWEhahahahahahahahahahahah
>>20180201they are not selling tickets so they add all these celebs thinking they draw when their audience has no cross over
>>20179976the WM where Pat jobbed to Vince was considered the best WM in years and a return to form. You are behind the times, faggot. No one gives a shit about your PWG and ECW nostalgia, this is the future of wrestling
>>20180201kek this is the modern wwe fana literal slave to the slop
>>20180227tell me what makes it worse than any other wrestling fed without crying
>e-pigs have to rush to defend shit they don't even likedire
Is WWE just a lolcow promotion at this point?>Lesnar vs Oba Cancelled>Orton vs Cody Slopped>Reigns vs Punk doing 50 promo battles>>20180201WWE making any money is a scam at this point. The only thing it has going for it is "legacy", there's little nostalgia to milk anymore. They can't even force new stars because they all get injured.Once Brock, Orton, Punk and Roman are done, you guys are screwed.Name one WWE world champion under 35 in the past 10 years.
>>20180334oba vs brock is off??? why the fuck would they give it so much time during the shows then?
They brought up indie midgets and low wrestlemania ticket sales. WWE may have jumped the shark tonight
>>20179771God damn this company fucking sucks.
>>20180334you are going over the top with your concern trolling, bro. I know you let this console war shit dictate your life 24/7 but you are in the .0001% of the people that do. You aren't living in actual reality, you are living in the reality of /pw/ which is like 24 people.
>>20180383>road dogg leaves>smackdown gets literally worsewhat fresh hell is this?
>>20180411nice projection, doesn't change the fact that WWE sucks.
>>20180443show me good wrestling in 2026
there will still be retards defending triple bitch
look celebrities have always been a thing for Wrestlemania but this is...grim
>>20180009Rey Mysterio and Bad Bunny turning heel on Cody for Mania next year
>>20179771pat mcafee has so much aura
>>20180862>Source: Kenny OmegaSo are you legitimately retarded or just pretending?
>>20179840If he makes the heel say the truth then it's a heel truth.
>>20180913>heel booker booking a heel truth angle for the babyface heel
ITS FUCKING OVER, (((THEY))) ARE THE SHOTCALLERS
>>20180999lmfao every time
>>20180908I forgive you for saying mean things to me, anon.
>>20179771How bizarre. It literally could have been anyone. Any legend, any wrestler, past or present. And they picked Pat? In what world does this sell more Mania tickets? That's the end goal, surely. There's not one person watching this, all like "It was Pat? Book the fucking hotel babe!"
>>20180958>>20180996
>>20181029these fucking jews are legit insane, imagine such arrogance and delusion that some ex-kicker is gonna be the next great thing, this is the equivalent of an indie booker doing favors for his high school buddies
>>20179904Orton doesn’t need a hype man and especially not some frosted tips faggot
>>20180958>>20180996so obvious tko killing wwe
>>20179771I see nothing but subhumans there.
>>20180441It’s like when all the federal employees got fired this administration, everyone cheered, clappe, and laugh, and they proceeded to rehire and replace everyone with retarded zoomers, h1-b Indians, and literal illegal immigrant spics (I’m not joking look it up DHS hired illegal aliens to defend the border)
>>20179840>>Wrestlemania ticket sales are bad >>Smackdown ratings are down >>WWE sucks with Cody Rhodes on topI scarcely believe this, any clips?
>>20181093Even that would be less soulless than what WWE is doing
CAWdy apologizes
This thread is totally organic.
>>20180441It’s either same blahness or retarded worked shoots, you don’t get to have good programs
>>20181173just as organic as the meteoric rise that is superstar pat mcafee BROTHER
>>20179771kek
>>20181122https://youtu.be/cn8AjDA1sIc?si=eAmQb-5uUqC_HKAE&t=106
>>20179904Are you retarded nigger?
if ari is jumping over trips, thats is a wrap then, there is no sugarcoating it
If Pat was gonna do meta shit he should have just said something about Cody bringing "AEW stink" to WWE that would have been more based than whatever he said
>>20180009I think Jey is the last friend Cody has left. With this pattern he’ll turn heel on him with Jelly Roll involved.
Should have been Vince.They even had Stephanie on. It was so simple.
>>20181133>it's a workgod this wm is so shit
>>20180383That was so fucking stupid. Short guys having ironman matches is an AEW complaint. A more accurate complaint you can levy against WWE is that there’s not enough wrestling and too much ads. And then Pat says Smackdown had its worst rated show because of Cody. Is Pat supposed to be an Attitude Era fratbro or a smark on cagematch? Such a trainwreck of a segment.
>>20181506the worst parts of vince with none of the schizo charm
the phone call could have been:dibiase jrkevin owensvincethe fucking rockbut they went with McAfee. what a joke
>>20180009This guy Paul can't book. All the best shit he has done is because of someone else changing his plans. He can't even book the Great Americano stuff without taker fixing it. And he can't book anyone from NXT like Shawn does. I wouldn't be surprised if TKO just makes Taker and Shawn the bookers for Smackdown and Raw.
>>20181470>Should have been VinceTotal head canon here, but maybe that was the original idea. But just these last few days, good ol' shit head has been making fresh allegations against him.
>>20181560>dibiase jrliteral no dime drawing who>kevin owenselderly garden gnome>vince100yrs old cant even talk anymore his voice is literally shot>the fucking rockmid50s & has a heart problem from years of steroid abuse. his heart would explode if he had to do a segment like this
>>20181634Bro, anyone is better than fucking Pat McAfee. The reveal could have been Doink the Clown and it would have made more sense.
who the fuck is this pat mccafe nigger anyway
>>20181713ex-nfl kicker that hosts a sports talk show, jews unironically wanna shoehorn him as the next hollywood star
>>20181660>Bro, anyone is better than fucking Pat McAfee.not disagreeing with you there but vince, the rock, owens & a literal who that has been out of wrestling for years are just as bad because they are so old and totally played out. yeah, seeing vince return would have shocked people but hes way too old and not able to talk or perform at this point. so lets get real
>>20181634Fuck off with those guys. Ted is fucking FAT. Kevin still hurt. Vince is in the middle of a trial and Dwayne doesn't want to get booed because of his fragile ego.The best thing they could of done is just have Randy talking to no one after all he said he was listening to the voices in his head again. Pat was the worst choice ever.
its amazing that despite Cody/Randy has had a simple but effective build and they felt the need to add Pat to it for no reason
>>20179771Yikes bruhGlad I'm with the better promotion
>>20181829This gif fries me every time
>>20181258It was a great segment and Pat cut the best promo in recent memory. Kys, seething fag.
>>20179771I'm confused, this is one of the worst things I have watched, yet at the same time, it feels like WWE is at least trying to bring in some "shoot" and "edge" to spice things up, I don't think it's working, but at least they are trying something.
>>20181814>Pat was the worst choice ever.not only that but the worked/shoot promo bringing up the current wwe failures reminds me of the promo vince did with shane & steph & triple nose when he acknowledged the wwe was moving in the wrong direction. because in reality the ratings were dropping so bad week to week. pat and this segment was terrible from beginning to end. bonus negative point to the later rebuttal promo when cody name drops disco inferno a dude who hes still seething about because he called him a midcarder years ago. disco has never even been in the wwe
They really want those 400k views McAfee gets!
>>20181868Nah, the whole thing was stupid. His whole promo was about how shit WWE is now. Like, in what world will that sell tickets? It just makes the current viewers feel like retards for watching. Truly awful
>>20179771rare joshipedo W
>>20182048you got me good there anon
>>20180096>>20180009>2028>Penta turns heel on Cody>Olivia Rodrigo is involved
>>20182026>His whole promo was about how shit WWE is now. Like, in what world will that sell tickets?it doesnt. i remember some shoot with an old, retired wrestler that said something similar. he said he never ran down his opponent's ability because if you did that and made the audience think the guy was terrible then there was no achievement in beating him or even wrestling him.
>>20182072>Olivia Rodrigo with the Canadian Destroyer to Cody. Oh my!
So Haitch really isn't a good booker huh
>>20180096That would be 100 times better than this
>>20181233Actually a based promo and a trvke
>>20182117Pretty sure that was Jericho
Why would you ever cheer for Cody? They just buried him. They buried all.the vanilla midgets and boring matches, but Triple H is the one booking it, so is he burying his own booking then? Why even being up the low ticket sales and tv ratings? Is Hunter burying the entire company as well?
Cody is the puppet for HHH, he's there to defend his booking decisions.
Ever since Jey Uso won the rumble WWE has just slowly gotten worse and worse.
tko is pushing the blacks
>>20182289Cody just shat all over the booking...
>>20181029pat sold his soul to the jews. I guarantee he becomes the governer of a state in the next decade.
>>20182280>Why would you ever cheer for Cody? They just buried him.triple nose seems to enjoy doing that to babyfaces. see la knight
>>20182280The kids watching the show won't care and now anti smarks have someone to get behind
>>20182135you know people always bring up russo but this entire swerve & promo is exactly the kind of shit russo would come up with for wcw. it made you hate everyone involved. it made you hate pro-wrestling and made you feel embarrassed & stupid for ever liking pro-wrestling in the first place
>>20179771crying at Cody's face and body posture in that pic
>>20179771There is no way they thought the way pat was dressed looked cool or anything like that. He looks like a middle school chemistry teacher or PC Principal.
Did they forget about heel Michael Cole from back in the day?
>>20181976kek that's the state of it
Paul when he panics or has to change plans books exactly like Russo, it's so weird.
>>20182280He's afraid because Shawn and Taker are making money with scraps and his long term bullshit doesn't work when people get hurt. Just so you know the original plan for this Wrestlemania was CM Punk vs Seff and Cena Vs Reigns but Cena hates Paul and it dates back to the mid 2000's and Seff got hurt. You can take this as just an shitpost if you want.
>>20182442>there is no way middle aged old men thought middle aged old men dressed in styles a school shooter wouldn’t be caught dead wearing was cool
>>20179771On a Smackdown like 2 weeks ago Randy got asked who was on the phone and he said "remember wrestling has more than one royal family". That amounted to fucking nothing huh?
>>20182484Randy is referring to his family, the Ortons.
>>20182442did he rip his pants at the knee getting into the ring? no adult wears jeans with rips in the knee like that in forever
Thank God for AEW
>>20180201They really didn't like this objective fact
What do you guys actually want? It seems like you just hate everything.
>>20182484You fucking retard
>>20182569I was fine with the build before they dropped this stupid twist.
>>20182529Preach it bro
>>20182601Everyone was fine with the build. Why they are doing all this shit just makes me think TKO asked for it, but either way they better have some good shit to make this work
>WWE stealing ideas from 2010 TNA
>>20179904The fuck does Orton need some fuck he never associated with to talk for him about how wrestling sucks to the point that tickets are still available?!
>>20179892I called it!
So is it as simple as, the writers/Paul are so incompetent that Ari Emanuel tried stepping in and just said, "Hey kids like Barstool Sports or whatever, send in Pat McAfee!" Are things that grim?
>>20182581royal? nigga has HIV or hep c or something, gross ass prostitue fucking retard.
Wade Keller from the top rope!
literal subhumans
I was half asleep and watching on my laptop when this shit went down and I thought it was some new kid and Randy was doing another Legacy. One of the best laughs I've had in ages when I realised what was going on.
>>20184338WWE should be more like AEW and pander to faggot redditor dickheads who pirate everything
Pat should do a run as a manager. We don't get as many interesting manager gimmicks anymore
>>20184321And folks, where’s the lie?
>>20180222That was booked by Vince you retarded mongoloid. Even mania 39 was booked by Vince shadow booked and then the rock and Brian Gerwitz booked mania 40 with Hunter we’ve gotten the worst booked manias ever back to back now.
>>20184321big wade cooking the fed
>>20184321promos good
Randy was so embarrassed on the way out backstage, he couldn't even look into the camera
>>20184321Wade is just another faggy queer upset that AEW is falling more behind than ever before despite spending record amounts of money on flippy shitters, jumping beans and flops like Thekla. If it pains him this much he should fucking quit, but he's a grifting faggot so of course he won't
>>20181627> But just these last few days, good ol' shit head has been making fresh allegations against him.Even espn who is hosting Wrestlemania airing this year on free tv the first hour is talking shit about it: https://www.espn.com/search/_/type/articles/q/Vince%20McMahon
>>20184387Wade literally has been a giant WWE fan for the past few years and constantly calls out AEW for poor and illogical storytelling
>>20184375kek I noticed that
>>20184388ESPN isn't on broadcast/network TV you motherfucking foreigner faggot, get your facts straight
I thought it was incredible character development. Hollywood Pat McAfee with King Viper Randy Orton in a new faction of sports entertainment royals. Shane McMahon and Ted Dibiase Jr to join soon too. It will be the greatest angle of the 2020s and we are blessed to receive it into our eyesockets.
WWE should train a super AI based around Vince Mcmahon booking
>>20181029Pat is the biggest sell out in history
>>20182280The Cody character is tricky. At its best, he’s SUPPOSED to be the lovable scrappy try-hard like Rocky Balboa who succeeds despite everyone KNOWING he shouldn’t because he’s not the biggest, strongest, tallest, or best. WWE has told this story before (Kofi, Bryan, etc), and it works as a novelty because fans want to see the underdog BECOME champion, but they don’t want to stick around to see the underdog continue to BE champion unless the underdog STAYS the underdog. Nobody cared to see Rocky DEFENDING the title, which is why in Rocky III and IV, those matches weren’t really “about” the title. They were “about” the bigger, badder, meaner characters and personal baggage Rocky still has to overcome. He was still the underdog despite holding the belt.But with Cody, instead of keeping him as the underdog and following the Rocky formula, they pivoted to him brazenly peacocking about being QB1 and the “top guy.” These bizarre promos damage his underdog brand. It lacks the awareness that the reason he’s loved is precisely because he’s NOT the top guy, but got there anyway through hard work. So when you go out there and start declaring you’re the top guy now, that’s basically a heel promo for an underdog character. Cody should never peacock. He should always acknowledge that each opponent is someone who’s bigger, better, meaner, and more deserving …but through hard work and a no quit attitude, he’ll find a way to win. (It’s basically the Cena gimmick but it works better for Cody because he looks the part more of someone who “needs” hustle to succeed.)The reason fans sour on Cody isn’t because they’re “tired” of him or get bored with babyfaces. It’s because he stopped being the underdog and started talking like a pretentious main eventer instead of the overachieving midcarder people loved. Cody should be making people believe that QB5 can win, not trying to convince them he’s really QB1.
>>20179771I don't get it, at all>WWE treats and glorifies the Attitude Era for decades since it happened>heel attacks face and cuts a babyface promo talking about how attitude era fans are forgotten even though they're constantly pandered to, things that don't happen are bad and ticket sales/ratings are bad and his guy who is not from the attitude era is going to bring back the attitude eraThis was actually a decent simple angle and in a week it became an all-timer bad WM championship angle
>>20184673>These bizarre promos damage his underdog brand.>underdog brandthat's the thing cody doesn't want to be an underdog the guy shoot believes>I win the title and then I beat everybodyis the best booking for him. He doesn't want to be even a semi-cena and overcome the odds, he doesn't want to hustle.He just wants to wear suits, talk like he's the best and everyone loves him and win all the time
>>20184673Cody, towards the end of his AEW run, was teasing a heel turn. He was right on the cusp of doing it, but he didn't pull the trigger. The audience was eating it up, too. Look at the archives if you can, people wanted Cody to be heel so badly. He even admitted to leaning into it. He's a natural heel, as Undashing would show you. So why didnt he pull the trigger? Cody as a heel is a combination of Homelander and Patrick Bateman. It's a direct reflection of himself, that below the perfectly made up and constructed face of Cody Rhodes, there is nothing. A sociopath fears revealing this more than anything else, because once the mask is off, no one trusts him again. Cody fails at the QB1 shit, because everything about his underdog face status is complete horseshit. We can see how blatantly fake he is, how every interaction he has feels the same. We can see the gears turning in his head, how he directs every social contact along the same beat, the same rhythm, the same algorithm. Every interview is a carefully practiced flowchart. Cody Rhodes possesses zero authenticity. He looks like a million bucks, he hits all the eloquent notes, but his words lack the soul behind them. > got there anyway through hard workNot really no. His matches tended to be phoned in. His most notable indie run match is him vs Dustin, and that's really because of the story and how Dustin is simply that good in ring. He was called the Three Star General most of the time. His promos were largely him trying to copy Sting, while doing WWE BAD GUYS, WWE IS BAD crap. He literally got to places because of nepotism. ROH namely, because ROH was desperate. He injected himself into the Bullet Club, and fucking got in the Kenny vs Kota match. >cody vs njpw dude in america>njpw dude is always face and no one likes codyReally though, I think Cody has a touch of the 'tism.
>>20184321This fag got worked hard.
>>20184673no team has 5 QBs you fucking stupid retard
>>20184817>>I win the title and then I beat everybodyBasedI'm fine with that because I love the CodesterFuck pretense, you need an ace sometimes, you need a pillar that wins and everyone plays off. Cody despite their fumbling is still their no. 1 merch guy and before the fumbling was far and away their biggest live event ticket moverHe should be the guy for that audience in any competent booker's hands but Paul is possibly the worst booker ever
>>20184829>ROH namely, because ROH was desperate. He injected himself into the Bullet ClubThe crazy thing is he only got that rub because Kevin urged the Young Bucks to take care of Cody once he hits the indies
>>20184673Cody puts all of his opponents over by letting them beat him up and he glazes them as a threat. His entire journey to finishing the story was about crowning him as the new FOTC, the new ace. He has to show confidence about that and himself and hell, its part of his character. Wanting that pressure so he can succeed.
yeahhhh im sticking to aew and tna
>>20184844you have dogshit between your ears
>>20184673Good post, but I think you're overthinking it. The terrible Rock Travis Scott 'payoff' killed the WWE honeymoon period and since Cody is the face of the company and HHH is the booker they take the vrunt of it. McAfee was inserted by Ari and that's still going to end uo being blamed on HHH and Cody
People disappointed by a heel doing heel things lol we're so back
>>20179771>Ric Flair>Dibiase Jr>any of Cody's buttbuddies from AEW (Starks, Hobbs, Spears) Any of these could've given the same speech McAfee gave.
>>20184321this literally felt like russo ass WCW 2000 booking no joke
>>20184898Gain legs
>>20184338>black guy with grey beardthis nigga 100% grew up watching Smackdown on UPN and now feels indebted to defend the company as an attack on it would be an attack on his childhood. Humans are so fucking retarded, specifically these types
>>20184859You’re obviously not a Cleveland Browns fan, lol
>>20184375he probably knows Pat gettign involved in the feud killed alot of interest in the match
>>20182475Is he gonna get fired soon?
>>20182048lmao
>>20184375post the video, i don't watch slopdown
>>20184990>Ric Flair>Dibiase Jr>any of Cody's buttbuddies from AEW (Starks, Hobbs, Spears)holy grimola batman! if those are the best main event surprises left in wrestling then wrestling really is fucking dead
>>20180201What is the mentality of a person who not just types this but legitimately believes it?I genuinely feel better about myself knowing that people like you exist to prove that it could always be worse.
>>20185094>this nigga 100% grew up watching Smackdown on UPNKek I fucking forgot about that.
>>20186257The point of wrestling is to draw viewers and make money. If a wrestling show is drawing a lot of money and has the most viewers, than it is successful. People aren't just paying all this money to see something they hate. Why does this fact hurt your feeling?
>>20184673>>20184829Extremely high quality posts.You love to see it.
>>20185092what does this even mean
>>20180862Best Botch Machine
>>20184673Slice it.
>>20187985never getting over
>>20179771When Pat came out it didn't even occur to me that he was the person on the phone until he said it. I figured the person would come out after him. That's how bizzare of a choice this was.
>>20188094Dice it.
>>20188128>When Pat came out itthey should have had goldusts music hit and have pat come out dressed as goldust without telling cody.
>>20184338I mean folks...

>>20181233Actual worked shoot. He said nothing wrong too.
>>20182048wtf lmao
bmp
>>20179771His cool dance after he kicked him the balls was lure aura though. Not a fan of the direction by Pat did cut a fire promo.
>>20184321can't believe no one else noticed this is clearly AI slop. it's not bad slop, and maybe he rewrote it, but I guarantee he sourced it from AI. which is not a bad thing, I just think it's funny when people don't always notice
>>20191659>sees long paragraph>assumes it's AI
>>20190442>he looks like a dorkthis is literally him.
>>20191547dumb zoomer
>>20186370nah its a retard take
>>20191681lol na, i read ai writing most of the day. its pretty easy, you just get used to spotting certain patterns and the way thoughts and sentences are constructed, beyond just the cliche uses of emdashes and "not x, but y" which are now pretty easy to filter and avoid if youre not completely braindead and want to post this stuff. but yeah it's 100% ai, if you read it carefully almost every sentence betrays it
