I got no problem with the red color, it's a clear nod to the old TV title. The plates just look cheap as fuck.
THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

That shit came off like a comedy sketch and a parody of the Austin confrontation from RAW.
Yeah. Mad corny. I thought AEW was going to be the serious wrestling promotion. They are doing as much, if not more, campy shit than WWE is.
I think they're trying to do whatever they can to bring in more casual viewers. Being the serious wrestling promotion doesn't bring in casual viewers. That's why NXT's ratings are always so low. People just want to be entertained and if that means doing goofy shit then so be it.
I think the goofy shyt has a place hence why Orange Cassidy is so over. Goofy/comedy has been in wrestling forever, they've had segments and Chris Jericho is GREAT at straddling that fence. The minute you have Darby Allin and Colt Cabana teaming up as a legitimate tag team is when you have to be worried
NXT and AEW are pretty much neck and neck in terms of ratings. Ratings are low everywhere.
AEW sold people a bill of goods on a "sports-based wrestling presentation", but they're doing just as much goofy shit as the WWE.
People are giving AEW a pass because they hate WWE so much and want so bad for AEW to succeed.
AEW does some things well, but often it's too disjointed due to the fact that everyone in AEW is allowed to "do their thing" with little to no supervision.
Say what you will about Vince and the WWE, at the end of he day there is ONE final voice for their product.
You want a serious wrestling promotion? Then look at ROH. Yeah, see how well they are doing. They are not in the conversation anymore.
It isn't what I want, it is what was expected.
When AEW was first announced, they said they would be the serious, sports related promotion, as an alternative to WWE.
They did say it would be sports based but I gathered that it would be in the aspects of rankings, statistics (Tony Khan is a stats guy) and workrate but I don't recall them using the word "serious". It was going to be a variety of a lot of different styles. The only promotion that does a true sports based presentation is New Japan and I definitely wasn't expecting that out of AEW. As long as you got the Young Bucks and Omega involved with the promotion you're gonna see goofy shit.
Hence why AEW is doing the goofy shit. NXT thinks the answer to low ratings is to put Charlotte Flair on their program every week.
Did people really think that AEW would be New Japan in sports presentation? I didn't.
No pass needed from me. This is what I expected AEW to be.
They get supervised; Tony Khan just likes what their doing. Hell, Khan writes a lot of the Dynamite shows. He likes goofy shit too.
Tony Khan Talks About AEW Being A Sports-Based Product
While the wrestling fans have been seeing it as the first real competition WWE has had in decades, AEW Officials including Tony Khan and others have been

“We’re going to provide, a serious, sport-based product with the best wrestling. Something you’re going to notice more and more in our shows is they’re going to take place in and around the ring. Like, we’re not going to go out of the arena, we’re not going to spend half the show backstage in dressing rooms, or backstage choreographed segments.
I wonder if that's the same chick I saw in the tan dress in the crowd at Double or Nothin' with the yams

This was the plan until they realized that they weren't going to be able to hook casuals with that approach. If they ever want to get back over a million viewers they need the casuals.
Just posting what he said. That AEW would be serious, sports based.
Regardless of what they "realized," AEW is far from what it was supposed to be, an alternative to WWE.
Instead, they are morphing into a bad copy of WWE.
Look on the bright side you can always watch New Japan Pro Wrestling if you want the true sports based presentation.
The only comedy Wrestler I know in NJPW is Toru Yano and his stuff is light weight compared to what's going on in AEW. You won't see Stadium Stampede matches in New Japan or people teleporting or any other bullshit. NJPW is as close as it gets to a true sports based promotion.
I can do without ally's like him. It just takes 8 different people from 4 different generations to die in order for him to come around. Nah homie, you don't have to be against us, but you can't be with us!
its fucked up but him saying that may do more to change a white person's mind then us saying it and countless murders of unarmed black ppl
Fuck that. I would've brought my own chair. Look how Vince McMahon treats his employees versus Tony Khan. The difference is night and day.
