How do we feel about the preeminent journalist for Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, and Sports Entertainment tearing down WWE like this?
>>20300926I think he's overreacting. The commercial breaks were too long, and especially on night one really hurt the pacing and flow of the show, but overall it was a good show, and night two in particular was incredible from start to finish.
>>20300926>overall it was a good show, and night two in particular was incredible from start to finish
>>20300926Check from Tony cashed
>>20300957>overall it was a good show, and night two in particular was incredible from start to finish.the only thing good about night 2 was watching a nearly 50 year old cm punk carry that coconut nigger to his first good match in years
>>20300926All media has been soulless since covid. every corp realized "the customer is always right" doesn't matter anymore and they can do whatever they want because modern audiences would rather kill themselves or debtmaxx than not be able to consume
>>20300926outrage is good for AEW
>>20300957In order for it to be an overall good show, night 2 would have to be without a doubt the single greatest night in WWE history.
>>20301019The customer has never been right, because that wasn't the phrase. The phrase was >The customer is always right in matters of taste
>>20300926This is what happens when you hollow out white america and replace it with the third worldDiversity is not a strength, funny even the invaders are complaining
WWE is fucked because WWE isn't in charge of itself anymore. It's in the same spot WCW was. The moment TKO suits see WWE is ebbing instead of flowing they'll panic
>>20301280They'll sell in 5-10 years, and a certain autistic Paki billionaire will swoop in and save the company
>>20301319If TKO still has that massive amount of debt I could see them saddling it on WWE and selling it like the Venture Capital swine they are
>>20300926>The biggest e-drone has turned on usPig-Es, our next move?
>>20301323>Wrestling has more than one Royal Family>*2006 Arab music starts playing*
>>20301019>since covid
>>20300957>slim jim tables>commercial breaks every match on a $30 service>SaudiSaudiSAUDI>"I think he's overreacting" >consumes Dude Wipes
>>20301280And I think TKO has now learned the hard way that running a wrestling company is absolutely nothing like running other combat sports companies. And now they're panicking because they're clueless.
>>20301392>slim jim tablesNo one actually cares about this or at least gets mad about it who isn't a schizo. If anything it's incentivized them to use tables more which people always chant and pop for anyway
>>20300926his point would be better made if he wasn't surrounded by soulless funko pops and shitty toys
>>20301394If they remove Paul from his CCO position it's legitimately over. Shawn and Mark McCool stand NO chance at that job. Remember, this shit gave Paul a shoot heart attack. They're gonna put a suit in that spot and it's fucking over unless they stumble into an actual wrestling fan
>>20301425while i agree that it's over if a suit takes overa fan is not a good decision eithera booker is a businessman without the corporate soullessness because he understands what gets over and makes money when it comes to wrestlinga fan just marks out over the kind of shit he likes and thinks will work, it's just the other extreme end away from corporate suit who doesn't understand any of it and doesn't care because all he understands is stocks and money
>>20301460I mean a fan in that he actually likes wrestling. Think of Eric Bischoff when he was running WCW. He got the job because he was a suit, it was just good fortune that he also liked the stuff
>>20301025Nobody is watching aew regardless of what the WWE does or doesn't do
>>20301471>Think of Eric Bischoff when he was running WCWhe also had the company spending lavishly like tony khan when that shouldn't have happened, just so you could have bret hart vs will sasso and arquette winning a title, even though i heard arquette didn't want to do it himself
I enjoyed both nights but he’s right about thisIt’s not just the ad time, it’s about having no backstage segments or little cool moments, except for the entrances (which were very cool) there was no entertainment outside of the bell to bell action and that onehausen segmentCena was the host and he only pops up for a combined 10 minutes across both nights only to welcome the crowd and lie about attendance figures, again excluding the danhausen segment, and thank god they at least did thatThere are ways to make the shows feel special which are beyond just the matches themselves and we got almost non of that just so I could watch the same 2 clips from the hulkster documentary 4 times eachGood thing the wrestlers brought their A games at least, despite the shitstorm online I enjoyed every match, albeit some could really gain from a few minutes added
>>20301369Saudi is stopping its sports ventures, at least for now. WWE is stuck with TKO for the foreseeable future.>>20301506Yep Cena should have been doing things across both nights from goofy midcarders showing off to putting someone over before their match.
>>20300957first of all it wasn't incredible from start to finsh. There was plenty of shit in between like the womeme match, the sami match, and danhausen shit that ate time that could've gone to either of the other matchessecond, even if it was incredible from start to finish, it was still a fucking joke of an event with how absolutely everything had to have an ad. The moment I saw ads on the tables, I said this shit is a circus. Not even NJPW has tables with ads. There was a fucking drone with ads for fuck sake. WHY DID YOU PUT AN AD ON THE DRONE???
>>20301408Actual wrestling fans do which you clearly aren’t you fat lump of shit.
>>20300926>"I'm not against advertising."How to out yourself as the stupidest motherfucker on the planet in one sentence.Every person in the world has a moral duty to never watch any content that features advertisements. Ever, zero exceptions.
>>20301649lol you only watch shitty indie mudsows you juggalo fat clown
>>20301689>lol you only watch shitty indie mudsows you juggalo fat clownYou're god damn right. That and 90s Joshi.I'm free.
>>20300926he kinda right tho
>>20300926damn, how bad is it for a jew to complain about watching some soulless slop full of ads everywhere
>>20300957The ads suck
>>20301649people watch the superbowl just for the adsthose people are retards but they are out there
>>20300926this fag is ranting and raving about WrestleMania and his only comparisons are for shows 20+ years ago, because like all the other pretenders, he doesn't watch year to year
>>20300926>advertising with grace and classlmao
>>20301876>people watch the superbowl just for the adsAnd that is a disgrace to humanity.>those people are retards but they are out thereNot being a retard is at least one of the goals of human existence.
>>20301394yes I'm sure some fat faggot on /pw/ knows much more about how to run a multibillion dollar combat sports org than TKO executives with decades of experience in sports and entertainment
>>20302020this but unironically
>>20301803he sounds retarded, can't cite specific ways that this weekend was different from past 3-5 years, he's another nostalgiafag citing what the show was like 20 years ago because he doesn't even follow the company now, just watches enough video clips to grift
This mf named after the little mermaid
>>20301797you're on a website that has ads on it and the only reason you're not seeing them is because of ad block, but you're just disguising the truth
>>20303128>the only reason youre not consooming ads is because youre not consooming ads>you are a hypocrite for not consooming ads while disagreeing with adsSpotted the corporate simp
>>20303417moreso calling you pretentious smdh
A skinny jew who has never been in a fight being a UFC journalist is soulless
>>20300926He's right but sadly that doesnt mean it isnt still the current best wrestling product. It's still the only show using stars to tell stories while actively attempting to build new stars, whether they work out or not is irrelevant. At least it's trying. Yea it sucks dick that ads and corporate jew greed has infested the show. But that's just the world now. Blame the people you worship if you are a politicuck.
>>20300957Night 1 wasn't a good show at all, it was dreadful to watchNight 2 was better but I really didn't like the fact they cut off three guys' entrances just to place more ads
>>20301280It's not the same case at all, Turner shut down WCW because he hated wrestling. If (or when) WWE stops being profitable, TKO will simply sell it to some other jewish conglomerate.
>>20305163Ted Turner didn't shut down WCW you stupid cocksucker, the executives in charge after the AOL Time Warner merger shut it down
>>20301425>If they remove Paul from his CCO position it's legitimately over.
>>20305131They cut off their entrances because the match had to be done before the end of the hour.
>>20301506>There are ways to make the shows feel special which are beyond just the matches themselvesyes, vince knew it had to be sports entertainment
>>20300926Is he talking about WWE or just America in general since 2020? Nothing here has soul anymore. Even the immigrant food places are doing $15 small plates like a suburban upscale bar and grill
>>20301019>customer is always rightthat slogan was how (((they))) took over buisness in general, then it became the no normal. now they own it all. back to the original way, goy. but on our terms
>>20305163What are you talking about? Ted loved wrestling, every boomer in Georgia loved wrestling. He wasnt a diehard or a mark, but he was a fan.
>>20301460>businessman without the corporate soullessnesIts been at least 20 years since one of those existed in America.
>>20301323Agreed, termite capitalism is the endgame for WWE. Tony Khan will probably be able to buy some of the IP though (if they dont just sell it all to an AI company)
>>20301506Sliced it.
>>20300926It didn't feel like Wrestlemania at all.
Vince killed WWE as his ultimate revenge against HHH and Stephanie
>>20300957This is why I hate e drones. WWE won’t ever be good because of faggots like you eating their shit with a smile on your face. >>20305163WCW was shut down because it was bleeding money.
>>20301054>This is what happens when you hollow out white america>most of the soulless modern corps are jewish and white, like they've always been.
>>20300957The entrances all sucking fucked up the flow as well. But people will only focus on the breaks
>>20300926It's long been the heckin entrance, pyro, and amazeballs video packages show, the fact that people are just noticing now is plain sad.
Just say you miss Vince, Ariel. We all do whether we admit it or not.
>>20300957>cattle
>>20301477Dynamite has more US live viewers than RAW :)
>>20301489Bischoff had long been demoted by the time the title was put on Arquette
>>20303566NTA but nothing he said was inconsistent. I'd disregard him because hes a Joshi fan more than because hes anti corporate
>>20301425>e-drones spend years shitting on TK for being a fan>now they're begging for someone like him to save them
>>20300926He says these things with all his toys on display
>>20307518Would it be more truthful if they weren't?
>>20300957This really triggered the people who hate WWE but dedicate their lives to watching it, and will be obsessed with WWE until they die
>>20307579truth frequently upsets the e-drones
