We’re hearing this more and more
>>21027258I don't doubt it's a lot looser on a creative level but AEW matches are the most over-rehearsed dogshit I've ever seen so i can't involve myself too deeply with a product that I know will insult my intelligence when the bell ringsDon't watch modern WWE either btw
>>21027258Everything is micromanaged over there. We've seen it on Unreal. It's easy.
>>21027258I would die for this man.
>>21027271me 2TYBTD
>>21027258That's because nobody watches aew so they don't have to put in any effort
>>21027258Only 0.001% of wrestlers are actually creative, the overwhelming majority shouldn't be in charge of creative decisions. AEW is a perfect example of this.
Edges height of creativity was fucking another man’s girlfriend
>>21027258vince let him do what he wanted and win every match and he fucking sucked. he fucking sucks now too. yeah real genius shit letting this fucking nerd call himself cope
>>21027258All that freedom and it still shit.
>>21027258Remember when he sperged out and messaged fans who shit talked his matches? Lost all my respect for him
His smile and optimism: gone
I JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN
>>21027258people who are having FUN don't have to constantly talk about how much FUN they're having btw
>>21027317you’re objectively a retard if you don’t think edge was a good wrestler at any point of his career, i actually can’t comprehend this statement you just made
>>21027258Proof that wrestlers need to be micromanaged
>>21027258>WeGo back
>>21027258what "creative" shenanigans has he been up to in gAyEW?
>>21027258It's obvious, and been obvious since AEW started. The single downside to the old school freedom gives wrestlers is that most new school wrestlers have almost no creativity. For people like Cope, Christian, Jericho, Moxley, Lio Rush, Swerve, Toni Storm, it works. But then you get QT Marshall's and MJF/Cole shitty feud.
Oh so he has the freedom to flop miserably. And get irrationally upset when someone calls him bug-eyed
>>21027497Yeah and it's fantastic.
>>21027492jericho has consistently been the worst part of the show for years to point the sickos were begging him to retire
>>21027266Wrestling has long figured out that people aren't watching because it looks like a real fight. Fights breaking out in the crowd have proven that. If you can't handle some cheorgeaphy then it has moved past you. Go watch Jack Brisco and Dory Funk Jr. trade headlocks and jockey for position for 50 minutes.
>>21027258Didn't this guy push for a "greatest match ever" thing with Orton that turned out to be a horse shit overproduction?
>>21027258Makes sense. In WWE Edge was a star. They made him an attraction. In AEW Cope is just some random guy with "Hey I was Edge once". Literally zero drawing power.
>>21027546>cheorgeaphyGMS
>>21027258The creative freedom to jump from the top of a cage at age 50 and shatter your legs so you can sit out a year of your multi million dollar contract and kill your storyline
>>21027271*bows the FUCK down*
>>21027355that part
>>21027546>thinks it has to look like a real fightYou, you don't get it. Enjoy your over-rehearsed dogshit.
>>21027345Edge was good until he got injured in 2002. He only got over as a heel in 2005 because of Lita’s gigantic fake tits
>>21027355It shouldn't be controversial to say that brain damaged meatheads need someone with a vision to guide them
>>21027258What the fuck is his problem?
Frankly I don't understand why this ancient shitter who was literally never good and only ever pushed because Vince nutted in his butthole is in AEW at all. He has ZERO legitimate credentials as a wrestler.
>>21027809lmao
>>21027258FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!
>experience with WWE was overproduced, over-reversed, over everythingYeah and his experience with AEW isn't over at all
>>21027892His music is
>>21027258Funniest thing about this interview is him saying he doesn't really pay attention to social media.Same guy who has at least half of wrestling Twitter blocked because he always searches his name on there and blocks everyone who slights him in any way.
>>21027892killshot
>>21027258The freedom to...rehash the Brood and feud/team with Christian again...?
>>21027816need the webm for this
>>21027258WWE would be forcing him to cut his pay in half just to job to Gunther.
>>21027258his legacy is being the mark that tony sent out to rally the sickos and do damage control after punk buried the compnay into oblivion. he actually agreed to that do that lmao.
>>21027258His feuds with Randy and Rollins were better than anything he has done in AEW. His feud for the title with Moxley was absolute dogshit.
And despite all that freedom the only thing people remember from his AEW run is breaking his leg jumping off of a steel cage like an old retard having a midlife crisis
>>21028035kwab
>>21027258>Needs a partner, valet, faction, debut, or return from retirement to be over in you're path
>>21028086When did you realize Edge was the Janetty?
>>21028021People don't talk enough about him doing this
>>21027258AEW literally falls apart if one of the actors misses the slightest flippity blippity bit. And they do all the time.
>>21028242Kek that's absolutely fucked. I'd expect this from an indie shitter on MLW but not a main event guy with 30 years of experience behind him
>>21028242
>>21027266you got absolutely ethered by >>21027546he's right, you need to watch old fat indian wahoo faggots in their saggy underwear pretend to headlock each other. a lot of aew stuff looks silly but it's more kino than your dick the bruiser matches you like you fucking lame boomer.
>>21028476is that why no one watches it?
>>21027920edge has always been a faggot that sucked. he only had the career he did because he was tall and somewhat handsome in his prime and did serviceable promos. there are so many other guys that would have matched his limp, mediocre performances if they would have been lucky enough to get a top guy push when there was no one worth pushing.
>>21027258sure we can't sell more than 2000 tickets for our weekly shows but we got freedom lmao
>>21027266Yeah the problem with total freedom to do anything is when ypur own ideas are shit. I'm sure Moxley isnhaving the time.of his life but the stupid shit he insists on doing is almost as bad as the shit he was doing in WWE
>>21028476kek, another seething tastelet exposing himself as thinking AEW is over-rehearsed lowbrow dog shit means you want a real fightHere's a hint: Oiwa and Uemura didn't look like a real fight either.You'll get there.
>>21027345he was only good when he had based gangrel to carry him
>>21028242who is this in response to? this is hard to read. what a fucking faggot. hit disney show lol.
>>21028560Exactly.The Matrix didn't look like a real fight.But it looked more like a fight than whatever the dogshit in picrel is.
>>21028594Meltzer thinks this is *****½ match and judges everything by the standard.
>>21028609If only Kurt Angle knew this
Why are dronies so fragile?
>>210282042011, but that's only because I stared watching wrestling in 2008 and didn't know tna existed until 2009
>>21028609Because Dave Meltzer is senile.
>>21027258Just PLEASE don't call him Cope, jesus. How did that get past everyone
>>21028594lmao what the fuck is this cirque du soleil shit, unbelievable
>>21027258He and Triple H never liked each other and it’s not a secret, every segment they had on television was laced with real life tension and Edge was basically the Triple H character done right, which Hunter did not like since it exposed how unspecial he really is.Edge created “La Familia” as a dig and satire of the McMahon Helmsley faction which Hunter noticed and quickly came in to make Edge look like a dork during their one and only ever feud in 2009
>>21028664hhh looks like a fucking bum next to prime edge
>>21027258The difference is that AE had a good amount of freedom + Vince filtering out ideas at the topAEW's "freedom" is just Tony not speaking up in fear of being hated by his best friends (aka the guys he employs)
>>21028584Some random fan on Twitter
>>21027312Most territory wrestlers had little creative freedom, but still the product was not "overproduced, over-rehearsed, over-everything", which AEW also is compared to classic wrestling. Bookers gave basic instructions and wrestlers knew their role and they didn't need "creative" and "talent relations" and "producers" and "coaches" and...
>>21027266Over-rehearsed isn't a problem. Macho Man was known to rehearse his matches down to a T. The problem is that modern wrestlers are absolutely dogshit. They look like shit, they have no athleticism and they just spam spots for the sake of it. Hogan vs Rock was trash wrestling-wise yet it still mogs all these 60-minute bangers simply because they both knew what they were doing.
Freedom is only good if you know what to do with it. I’m going to issue this challenge again, show me one distracted referee spot in aew that doesn’t look fake as take.
>>21027258Full interview recap>"FEDBAD, AEWFUN!!!!!!!!"Can any of these faggots cut a new promo already? This is the same shitty promo over and over and over again since before coconut bloodline theater ever even began.
>>21028594What the fuck is this shit? Probably doing the splits for the aew basket
>>21028594The obese clapping seals are the real problem here.
>>21027258>Freedom in AEW is similar to the attitude era.if modern wrestlers weren't such faggots they could probably take advantage of that
is not even that negative, he says by the end.And yeah, WWE has been mechanical, in a bad sense, for too long.
>>21027258Another gun to the head AEW dicksucking promo when time and time again it’s been proven they will immediately jump ship to the fed the SECOND they are given the opportunity.
>>21027266Rehearsing matches isn't a problem in itself, being a retarded wrestler and not understanding wrestling is. """""""Modern""""""""" wrestling is 0 psychology and perma flips, counters and spots spam.
>>21027330What being under contract to Tony Khan does to a mf
The biggest issue with WWE is exactly that it's way too overproduced. This has been known for a long time. AEW on the other hand is too much in the other direction. These guys don't need to listen to anyone and the stuff we see is a bunch of mismashed ideas by a bunch of dorks that don't care about drawing or making stuff make sense to the viewer. Edge may have been boring as fuck in WWE by the end, but he didn't actively suck ass like he does in AEW.
>>21029298The only shitty thing I've seen Copeland do in AEW is his feud with Moxley, and that can be chalked up to Moxley being terrible. FTR and "the Dogs" also suck. Cage and Copeland have had great tag matches with everyone else, and their feud with each other was great from an in-ring standpoint.
>>21029298thanks for the e-tard update
>>21027271The hero we need but dont deserve
>>21029807>their feud with each other was great from an in-ring standpoint.Thanks for reminding me that Tony fumbled literally the easiest to book feud with 20 years of build and anticipation. How the fuck do people still defend this guy?
>>21029825He keeps the boat floating an eric bishop situation
>>21028594i don't particularly enjoy this type of wrestling, but s this edited and slowed down? both of these guys have done this type of shit way faster and more intense. hell modern ospreay's biggest problem is he generally moves way too fast compared to his opponents and i know ricochet is still a speedy bitch. the fuck?
>>21029825It had such a promising start with "Go fuck yourself" and then Nick Wayne's mom got involved.
>>21027258AEW really does be up there with the attitude era. Red hot company
>>21027266Shut up ya E drone lmfaoooo, go watch Tranhausen and shit up
>>21027271Still pops my ass he wore the neck brace. Pure SOVL.
>>21027258edge is a retard. tony probably told him to say that. remember in edges debut match he legit broke a dudes neck being reckless
>>21028594it wasn't even that bad until they did that faggy pose at the end
>>21027258so free, you are allowed to botch ten times per match and not only the footage will still make it to tv, but will remain unedited forever
