How do we feel about the preeminent journalist for Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, and Sports Entertainment tearing down WWE like this?
>>
>>20300926
I 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.

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
>>
>>20300926
All 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
>>
>>20300926
outrage is good for AEW
>>
>>20300957
In 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.
>>
>>20301019
The customer has never been right, because that wasn't the phrase. The phrase was
>The customer is always right in matters of taste
>>
>>20300926
This is what happens when you hollow out white america and replace it with the third world
Diversity 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
>>
>>20301280
They'll sell in 5-10 years, and a certain autistic Paki billionaire will swoop in and save the company
>>
>>20301319
If 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

And 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 tables
No 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
>>
>>20300926
his point would be better made if he wasn't surrounded by soulless funko pops and shitty toys
>>
>>20301394
If 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
>>
>>20301425
while i agree that it's over if a suit takes over
a fan is not a good decision either
a booker is a businessman without the corporate soullessness because he understands what gets over and makes money when it comes to wrestling
a 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
>>
>>20301460
I 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
>>
>>20301025
Nobody is watching aew regardless of what the WWE does or doesn't do
>>
>>20301471
>Think of Eric Bischoff when he was running WCW
he 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 this
It’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 segment
Cena 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 that
There 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 each
Good 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
>>
>>20301369
Saudi is stopping its sports ventures, at least for now. WWE is stuck with TKO for the foreseeable future.

>>20301506
Yep Cena should have been doing things across both nights from goofy midcarders showing off to putting someone over before their match.
>>
>>20300957
first 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 matches

second, 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???
>>
>>20301408
Actual 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.

You're god damn right. That and 90s Joshi.

he kinda right tho

>>20300926
damn, how bad is it for a jew to complain about watching some soulless slop full of ads everywhere
>>
>>20300957
The ads suck
>>
>>20301649
people watch the superbowl just for the ads
those people are retards but they are out there
>>
>>20300926
this 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 class
lmao
>>
>>20301876
>people watch the superbowl just for the ads
And that is a disgrace to humanity.
>those people are retards but they are out there
Not being a retard is at least one of the goals of human existence.
>>
>>20301394
yes 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
>>
>>20302020
this but unironically
>>
>>20301803
he 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
>>

you'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

A skinny jew who has never been in a fight being a UFC journalist is soulless
>>
>>20300926
He'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.
>>
>>20300957
Night 1 wasn't a good show at all, it was dreadful to watch
Night 2 was better but I really didn't like the fact they cut off three guys' entrances just to place more ads
>>
>>20301280
It'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.
>>
>>20305163
Ted Turner didn't shut down WCW you stupid cocksucker, the executives in charge after the AOL Time Warner merger shut it down

They cut off their entrances because the match had to be done before the end of the hour.

yes, vince knew it had to be sports entertainment
>>
>>20300926
Is 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 right
that 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
>>
>>20305163
What 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 soullessnes
Its been at least 20 years since one of those existed in America.
>>
>>20301323
Agreed, 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)

Vince killed WWE as his ultimate revenge against HHH and Stephanie

This 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. >>20305163
WCW was shut down because it was bleeding money.

The entrances all sucking fucked up the flow as well. But people will only focus on the breaks

It's long been the heckin entrance, pyro, and amazeballs video packages show, the fact that people are just noticing now is plain sad.

NTA but nothing he said was inconsistent. I'd disregard him because hes a Joshi fan more than because hes anti corporate

Would it be more truthful if they weren't?
>>
>>20300957
This really triggered the people who hate WWE but dedicate their lives to watching it, and will be obsessed with WWE until they die
>>
>>20307579
truth frequently upsets the e-drones
