THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
And it begins, ala WCW.......
That sucks..
There's a difference. WB doesn't own AEW like they did WCW. So even if they were to drop it, Kahn would just have to shop the show to another content distributor.
Yeah I like that's its for an older audience, and I figured wwe would have to get approval from the networks to go back to tv14/tvma...
I'm not saying they're going to get dropped by the network anytime soon, but this is eerily similar to WCW where Bischoff was told by the higher ups (after the Time Warner AOL merger) to tone down the language on the show.
Eventually Nitro became a watered down version of itself, ratings dropped, and the Turner network decided they didn't want wrestling on its network.
I hope that doesn't happen, because I feel the wrestling business is better with 2 large companies, but I don't have a good feeling about the way things are headed with this edict from upper management and with all the internal issues swirling around in AEW.
I'm old enough to remember seeing the Owen Hart PPV live. Before Vince spent millions to have that footage scrapped from the face of the Earth. Ever since then I've had a hard time watching previous seriously injured wrestlers coming back for one last match. If you were lucky enough to make it alive and one piece, count your blessings, go find a new day job, and spend some time with your family. Don't be rushing back to give the fans one more anything. Besides the fans are the first ones to called you washed when you don't look the same after coming back ....
Fuck every single 'fan' who ever cheered, "one more match." When are athletes gonna learn, the same ones chanting, "one more match," will be the first one calling you washed as soon as your performance starts slipping even a little bit. And this doesn't just apply to wrestlers. Jordan on the Wizards could still give you 30, but he clearly wasn't Jordan on the Bulls, so .... garbage, washed, trashed, never should have come back, etc.
Trying for one more (fill in the blank) is a losing game and you'll never please the fans. If you're money is straight, go live a healthy life. Just how many of the wrestlers did we grow up with die before 65 because they HAD to keep coming back. Today's generation is way more financially sounds than yester-year.
CM Punk is/was one of my favorite wrestlers, but I honestly haven't watched a single match since he's been back. Same with D. Bryan & Edge. I've watched promos but I can't watch these people taking bumps and doing dives. I don't want to see any of them get another major injury on live tv or worst. And I don't want 'one more match' when it could results in the comments in here.
I haven't seen the match, but based on the responses it seems like Punk should not have come back.
They should make a TV MA version and put it on HBO MAX find a home for AEW Dark. Im tired of everything being overly politically correct and watered down. you can an edited version for mass consumption and an unedited version for adults

I never got CM Punk, I did not like the straight edge society nor did I watch him in the indy's (ROH) I watched his return to AEW and was still not impressed. His promos are great but his matches always bored me, I also hate Moxley I was expecting a half decent match considering the anticipation was highly confused and befuddled and the match who choreographed that trash. I hope for the sake of his legacy that was a legit injury.
yeah, I know Punk wasn't 100% to wrestle again.....I think they wanted to get the title off him cause he going to be out for a while again...But I like when Moxley has the belt...
I heard that MJF might be coming back!!
....nice!!..Ever since The Forbidden Door PPV..AEW was on a roll...Ratings are going up and the shows the last couple of weeks was great!!.. It's all about AEW!!!
Rosa does have heat with Britt but her injury is legit. TK was going to take the belt off of Rosa at "All Out" giving it to Toni Storm but Rosa is too banged up so we'll get a four-way at "All Out". We'll see if TK still goes with Storm or puts it back on Britt Baker.
I feel that "getting color" in AEW is overdone. It needs to be toned down and made more important to the match/story.
Problem is they have too many hardcore gimmick matches. TK relies too much on those type of matches to pop a rating and in a lot of cases it doesn't work. It seems like every two weeks there's a no DQ match, a street fight match, blood and guts, barbed wire, etc. If you cut back on all that stuff you'll have less blood. The only wrestler that seems to not help himself is Moxley because he can't seem to have a regular match without blading. He wants to bleed no matter what.
Giving it a few years....WWE is gonna scoop up AEW and ROH for like 6 million.
Did Eddie really say Guevara was fat shaming him? Man, if that isn't the softest response ever. What kind of millennial mentality bullshit is that? I hate that we live in a SAWFT ass society where if you call someone fat, who clearly is out of shape, you are called out for "shaming" them....
STFU Eddie and hit the treadmill.
Just saw this, see my comment above regarding Eddie crying about being fat shamed. Disco is correct. Outside of a few, this generation of wrestlers....smh.
I don't think Kevin Owens would react the same way Kingston did.
Hit the weights Eddie.
Probably won't even cost that much
Did Mick Foley have to hit the weights. Dusty Rhodes, Bam Bam Bigelow, Big Boss Man, Abdullah The Butcher, Vader, etc. There's always been fat dudes in wrestling. Who cares? Disco is a Fuckin' hack.
Exactly !
Agreed!
Reread what I wrote.....
Did any of them cry about it and play victim like Kingston did?
Doesn't matter if they did or didn't. The point is there's always been fat dudes and wrestling so for Disco to make that point in the first place is dumb. Kingston is sensitive to it because it shouldn't matter.
No the point is that Kingston was playing the victim calling Guevara out for fat shaming.
Gargano would've been just another flippy guy in AEW. Going back to WWE was the right call.
