I agree with you, I just don't like how you said that shyt!
Was not aware of Brodie parodying Vince. The whole Dark Order thing REALLY painted them into a corner, unfortunately they had done so much that they couldn't pull out like the Nightmare Collective. But you gotta admit, they do listen to the fans! As abrupt as it was the next week Brandi is back to just being Cody's wife. Vince would have ran that into the ground with him getting blown up in his limo. But you are correct in stories that WWE writers would be ashamed of. Hopefully they'll have a Brodie Lee vs Christopher Daniels match where if Daniels wins the Dark Order has to disband and that can put an end to that storyline.
I think they do focus on the serious sports related wrestling. If you look at the Bastard Pac he was not given the type of matches he puts on in AEW. The Drama that is just the nature of the beast in professional wrestling you can't get away from it.
And WWE documentaries give me a break homie! Until they're willing to put on a Dark Side of the Ring type documentary of their employees and company, I'll save my money. HEAVILY edited and produced to make the company look like a saint. Those series are about as big a joke as JBL being the spokesperson for an Anti-Bullying campaign.
For all of its flaws AEW has made watching wrestling enjoyable for me. I love Orange Cassidy, the program that AEW had with Hangman was going well (although the diet version of the Scott Hall WCW program from early 2000's) I am just can't shyt on them while you have cats like Scorpio Sky, Private Party hell even Sonny Kiss aren't put into what some Jewish guy thinks black is.
WWE won the wrestling war. The winner will always write the history.
Everything is heavily edited.
We can agree to disagree, and I guess we do on this, however I enjoy their documentaries series, even though they are absolutely skewed to show WWE in positive light.
Thing is, Dark Side of the Ring, which I absolutely love, is also geared and edited to show wrestling (and WWE) in a negative light too.
You can't complain about a company A heavily editing their programing while giving another production company (B) the pass when their whole purpose is to produce content showing company A negatively.
Why would WWE show their company negatively? I take their programing and documentaries for what they are, and to me, they are entertaining.
Whether it was the Monday Night Wars, WWE 24 Specials, older documentaries on Macho Man, Ricky Steamboat, etc... their documentaries are done very well. You can say you're not a fan, you cannot say they are not well produced.
I enjoyed the Ruthless Aggression series and the recent Edge 24 Special was great. I'm looking forward to the Undertaker Last Ride joint. That looks great.
As far as your points on AEW. The Dork Order, give me a break. The group was a whack knockoff of the Undertaker's Ministry before Brodie Lee, and it's even worse now that he premiered as their "Exalted One"... (It was me all along!!)
Orange Cassidy? Yeah, no. I just cannot get into him. The gimmick does nothing for me no matter how hard JR, Excalibur, Schiavone or Taz try to sell him on the audience.
AEW absolutely treats Black Wrestlers better. No argument from me on that one. They are still very young in their infancy, let's see how long it takes for them to put a title on a Black wrestler.
Also, AEW has too many damned factions. Like, seriously, Dork Order, The Elite, Inner Circle, SoCal Uncensored, Nightmare Family, Jurassic Express, The Death Triangle, etc...Goddamn, how many stables do you need?
AEW has talented wrestlers, but they are doing what WCW did when they kept signing WWF talent. Hager, Jericho (that was a given though), Moxley, Hardy, Brodie Lee, now soon to be Revival and whomever else WWE cuts.
It worked for WCW because they had legit stars in Hogan, Savage, Hall & Nash.
I cannot compare any of AEW's recent WWE castoff signings as being in the same league as what WCW did in the early/mid 90s though.
We'll see, but I really feel, like I mentioned above, AEW needs to focus less on taking shots at WWE and building their brand of wrestling and building their own stars.
Honestly, nothing is stopping them from having their own Performance Center in Jacksonville. They should be signing as much Indy talent as possible.
Build from within by grooming new talent. Hell, their women's division could sure use it because it's horrible.
Damn that shit blended well. This is definitely some work out music.
