Wayne is a wrestling head and with them openly embracing rap(pers) as heavily as they have been, if Wayne is down to walk out.... I mean, they really couldn't say no. It's not like he is CyHi the Prince or Chingy..... kids today still love Wayne
I don’t like the Cyhi slug but you told no lies :lol:
 
It's hilarious, not only are they not in competition with WWE, most people aren't even aware what an AEW is lmao

Like I said and I stand by it.

NXT>>>>AEW
And never will if they keep acting like a third tier product…stop acting like IMPACT…suppose to be better than that but I mean NXT don’t stoop to this level.
 
The thing is....I see this as a bad look on AEW.

Punk mentioned what happened on a podcast interview.

AEW is addressing it (for the second time in two weeks) on their Main Show.

Instead of focusing on their own product, they are still focusing time on Punk.
I won't believe it's legit until I see it. I was just reading comments on r/SquaredCircle and somebody said it's probably claymation footage like the old Celebrity DeathMatch. Hell get Seth Green to do the voices.

And there it is..... Doing this, they are painting themselves into a dumbass corner. Either put up or shut up.

It's a dumb move either way. If they do some lame re-enactment, they are the children Punk referred them as.
 
So for all y'all who love Rock the Dwayne being back and being a bad guy .... is this fun?

Is it fun watching this mockery of match while Dwayne says 'fuck' & ' shit' a lot?
I mean I thought it was fun lol….this is what we get because everyone was crying about Cody not finishing his story so this what they get lol.

Yeah I asked earlier what does this do….but yeah if they do something that stupid then it does validate what Punk said lol. Guess there’s that as well.

I ask myself why would Cody leave something he helped built and I mean he’s clear why.

People are gonna hate them regardless. Whole point they're leaning into the EVP heels. Punk anointed them as childish devils so the IWC is gonna believe what Punk said and run with it and disregard everything else.
 
Eddie Kingston is a joke and I can't take anyone serious who takes him seriously

The masses speak for themselves, nobody watches aew, their ratings and ticket sales are embarrassing.

You're insulting Eddie Guerrero and everyone you mentioned by comparing them to these goofs lol sacrilege!!! Lol sure they can do some "cool moves" but the pacing of the matches, the in ring storytelling/ring psychology just plain sucks. Listen, at the end of the day im glad that those wrestlers are getting paid and I'm glad the people who enjoy it enjoy it. It's just not my thing, and it's not most people's thing either lol

I have to disagree with you on this brother!!...People are watching and pay attention to AEW!!...The numbers and ratings might not be up as expected or they slack on storylines and the booking are messed up sometimes on their weekly shows but people is watching AEW!!...My thing is that you can't hate and talk bad about someone or something if you not pay attention to it or watch what that someone or something is doing!!..That's why I think people are watching AEW!!..

The BGOL fam on this thread knows I rolled with AEW and a fan cause I like their wrestling vibe they bring!!..I don't watch WWE no more and don't know what's going on over there but I don't hate on WWE and what they are doing over there....I always said that Wrestling is good when it's more than one successful Wrestling Company out there!!..My ol school heads that watch wrestling in the golden era of the 80's and 90's knows what I'm talking about!!.. :yes:


Also, AEW PPV's from all last year of 2023 and this past ppv they had in Jan got nothing but good reviews and good ratings for their ppv's shows!!...:yes:...You can't have that success if wrestling fans doesn't watch or attend your shows!!..Yes, their ppv's are packed and alot of them been sold out!!..:yes:



AEW will be fine and people are watching it.....Also, Eddie Kingston is not a joke!!...He's a damn good wrestler!!..:yes:


But, to each their own..

We'll just have to agree to disagree on Kingston.

People watch AEW. They're regularly in the top three of cable shows on Wednesday nights. This whole narrative that if you're not getting ratings like WWE (a company that's been around for 40 plus years) then nobody is watching is tribalist nonsense. AEW's ratings and gates are reflective of a 5 year company.


You're insulting Eddie Guerrero and everyone you mentioned by comparing them to these goofs lol sacrilege!!! Lol sure they can do some "cool moves" but the pacing of the matches, the in ring storytelling/ring psychology just plain sucks.

Again different styles. Trying to apply the metrics/guidelines of one wrestling style to others is ridiculous. Different styles emphasize different things. Instead of trying to fit everybody in one box expand your mind. This is the problem with a lot of WWE fans. They think wrestling should only be done one way. A very narrow minded way of thinking.

They're working an angle out of it bro that's why they're addressing it on the main show. This is more to do with Jack Perry than Punk.

Definitely agree to disagree, you two are cool Vs most AEW fans I've come across so I definitely don't want to disparage something you enjoy too much lol just some friendly shit talk and ribbing! it's definitely not for me but I'm glad you guys find enjoyment from it :cheers:

I'll say this I'm glad old wrestlers like sting can have a place to go and make a shit ton of cash and get treated like royalty. I respect that.

They've presented themselves as childish between the BTE stuff and a good amount of the stuff they've done on TV like their 1st heel turn where they became whiny goofs who superkick random announcers and other people that nobody gives 2 shits about.

Yep. No one is tuning in to see the Young Bucks. They'll tune in to see CM Punk's backstage incident involving one of the Young Bucks friends though....

I've never seen a tag team so over hyped by their fans in all of my time watching wrestling.
 
So Edge's promo on their Main show was working an angle?

I'm talking specifically about what the Young Bucks are doing because it directly involves Jack Perry. What Edge was doing was just some typical rah rah shit. They did the same before with Moxley after Punk got suspended following the "All Out" incident with the Bucks.

Again, they are focusing attention on their main show to a guy who hasn't worked at the company since August.

Angle or not, shit is corny.
 
They showed Chad Gable's finally when he faced Gunther and he lost so that's not an automatic thing. Sami's wife was also shown in the Roman Reigns match
Yeah but the amount of times the cut to her and involved her + Micheal Cole's bullshit "do you believe in miracles" crap and the entire announcing of that match all but gave it away. They did not do a good job, I was insanely disappointed. They made Gunther look weak and if I was any of the major stars it would no longer make sense for him to go to the next level against a Cody or whoever. Poorly executed from top to bottom.

I would have preferred Gunther keep beating Sammy until his wife ran into the ring and jumped on him and ended the match there with Gunther laughing at his near dead body and crying wife, then have him drop it to Sammy in an epic match at another event. Or something to that effect to really build it up, as it stands I don't think the match accomplished much, and squandered Gunthers run imo

The focus coming out of this will be on the rebuilding of Jack Perry. That's what his whole heel "Scapegoat" gimmick has been about since he popped up in New Japan. Kayfabe tearing up his AEW contract. Calling out TK for suspending him and all of that. They've been putting the peices in place well before the Punk interview.

I can tell you’ve been watching wrasslin long enough to be able to smell the obvious.

I forgot who said it, but he said

“Stay down Sami, you’re not going to do it!”

“Sami doesn’t look like the guy that’s going to dethrone the champion.”

It was too obvious….

I'm getting back into it now after a pretty long hiatus but wrestling and pokemon were my entire life(throw in boxing and mma and you basically know me lol) I even did the backyard wrestling thing as a young kid, we lit our friends on fire broke florescent tubes on each other, all that dumb bullshit lol then jackass came out and our stupidity went to a whole new level lol the thing that made me lose passion were matches just like that, the narrative was just so obvious that it took the joy right out of the match, way too many hints at what was going to happen, Just call the match as it's happening and try to not spoon feed what's going on to the audience like we're toddlers, That and the dawn of the super choreographed match where it's clear the wrestlers planned out every spot and move and they just perform it all back to back to back without letting the crowd react to what they've seen and not building any kind of tension or drama.

Glad to be back(always kept up and watched shoot interviews and podcast like the drive through ECT) but now I'm back deep in the trenches lol

Yesterday was my first wrestlemania in 20 years, after watching wrestling religiously since the NWA days in the 80’s. I got Peacock to watch soccer and saw that wrestlemania was streaming, so I said fuck it let me see what’s going on.

- The ladder match was fire but everything else was subpar to me. I guess you have to understand the storyline to get into it, but nothing grabbed my attention.

- Glad to see women wrestling has stepped up.

- Commentary was a 5/10

We all knew Sami was winning though. The announcing team didn't tip it off we knew it. Just like we know Cody will win tonight......at least I Think we know lol.
