THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

Actually it is! You set the events in motion to set the other person who people know can go off from time to time off then the result is on you. They tried to undercut him and make him look bad thru rumors in the dirtsheets then thought that he wasn't going to say anything. They can't be that stupid. And whenever he's had a situation it was never him running to Meltzer or any wrestling "columnist" to sell his story or spread a rumor. He reacts and lets people think whatever.

I'm still not hearing any CM Punk accountability in your language. All I hear is it's the Elite's fault because they knew that he would react in a certain way yada, yada yada. AGAIN and I'll keep repeating it until it gets drilled into your fat head. Nothing that the Elite was speculated of doing is the equivalent to what CM Punk actually did that night. PERIOD!

They are EVPs(Executive Vice Presidents) in the company so they have pull and input hence The Dark Order being created and pushed in a significant way initially. So yes Tony Khan is the booker but let's not act like they just show up and do whatever Tony Khan tells them to do. If so, we should have gotten them vs FTR more than twice in 3 years. Hell Khan booked The Briscoes vs FTR 3 times in 8 months with no TV to build it up.

In 2019 the EVP's had more control and influence over booking but that ended at the end of 2019. From the start of 2020 up till now the Elite are EVP's in name only. All creative booking decisions are completely Tony Khan.This is part of the speculative reason why Cody left because Cody wanted to handle the booking and Tony told him to kick rocks. Now in regard to how Tony books things that's a whole another matter in itself. I don't know why we didn't get FTR/Bucks more than two times just like I don't know why we didn't get FTR/Lucha Brothers more than two times. What I do know is it's not some grand conspiracy by the Elite to hold FTR down.

The goofy shit that The Elite do is a huge representation of how they are perceived particularly for those who aren't hardcore wrestling fans. They present the best video game wrestling matches this side of Twitch and they are cornballs and worse yet this overtly corny shit began with them becoming heels so somebody thought this goofy shit would make them the heels that people would pay to see lose instead of heels that people outside of their most rabid supporters would change the channel on.

This is all subjective bullshit. Cornette thinking marks are all the same. They're logic is It's not really wrestling unless they wrestle the way (style) I want them to wrestle otherwise I'll call it corny or goofy. Or perhaps we can have an actual appreciation for different styles of wrestling and not gate keep to one particular style. Gee, what a concept.

Bro, you nailed it 100%.
That's why AEW is in the position it's in and mismanaged. No one knows who's running what.
They're constantly passing the buck (no pun intended) back and forth as to who's actually in charge of what.
One day it's the EVPs that have all the power, the next day it's TK, the following day it's Warner/Discovery.
Yada yada yada.
Say what you will about WWE, but at the end of the day you knew anything you saw on TV (good or bad) was ultimately greenlit by Vince and now HHH.

Bro, you're purposely being dense at this point. You're an Elite mark, I get it.
If you want to refer to me as a Cornette mark, I'll take it. He still knows way more about ACTUAL wrestling than 99% of the wrestlers today.

Cornette understands the metrics of old school wrestling but he doesn't understand the metrics of modern wrestling. That's where the disconnect comes from. He's just an old man gate keeping at this point. Wrestling has evolved since the 70's and 80's. It's always evolving. There's no golden rule that you have to perform wrestling in a particular way. It's a evolving landscape.

Yes, Jericho was the only one who publicly said Punk was a locker room cancer.
The Elite just used Meltzer (the useful idiot that he is) as their mouthpiece/stooge because they were too scared to say it publicly.

Again with the conspiracies. You guys are sounding like Alex Jones at this point.
 
NJPW desperately needed this. Okada and the main event scene in New Japan has gotten stale so this joint venture with NOAH is very beneficial.

 
I watched AEW Dynamite for this week and it was good!!....Damn, that match with Danielson vs Bandido was mad good!!...Hell, all Danielson matches lately have been good!!... :yes:... That Top Flight vs The Young Bucks was good as well....Nice crowd they had once again that came out and saw the show!!..Overall, it was a good show!!
