THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

datboi said:
My original point was AEW has a long way to go before it's a legitimate threat to WWE.
From production, to storytelling to the Wrestlers performance they are a much more polished product. AEW is still in its infancy but to think they are on par with the WWE is asinine.

AEW is doing it's own thing. It's not trying to be a threat to WWE. WWE has a 40 plus year head start on everyone. All I said was in regard to match quality I think AEW and NJPW are better. MJF vs. Bryan Danielson, Will Ospreay vs. Kenny Omega, House Of Black vs. The Elite. Nothing WWE has done this year compares to those matches.

I like AEW WWE Impact NJPW ROH. Hell I'm one of the few to admit to liking W.O.W and I can make an honest comparison. The flipping flopping spot fest leads to a sloppy less polished product. Its over used and a cover up for Wrestlers lack of being able to tell a story in the ring.

The all depends on the match and it's purpose. Anybody can tell a story in the ring if the structure is there.

NJPW can tell a story without 1000 spots in a match.
I like the mive set fast pace styles of Kenny Omega Will Osprey the YB and even the vintage rassslin style of FTR.
It's not even about the styles but the overall product. After watching Wrestmania I don't think AEW is close to WWE and they have a long way to go if they want to take the top spot with or without Vince in charge

They're not gonna take the top spot regardless and honestly I don't care if they do or don't. What's important to me is being able to watch the style of wrestling I want to watch. No promotion is perfect. You learn to take the good with the bad.

When WCW vs WWE wars started they had better bigger stars. AEW is missing that instead they have Y2J, Dean Ambrose Cesaro and Daniel Bryan as their top stars, all WWE rejects.

None of those guys are WWE rejects. Chris Jericho is a hall of fame talent. Jon Moxley is 100 times over now than he ever was as Dean Ambrose. Claudio is more over than in WWE. Bryan Danielson remains over. Then you add in great talents like Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, MJF, Young Bucks. Lucha Brothers, RUSH, etc. Tony Khan has a fantastic roster.


I like what TNA/Impact has done over the years. Built from within. TK seems to want to follow that mold now but he also need Television sponsorship and he will need elevated talent.

Why get WM Morrisey when Braun Strowman is available.
Why sign Taya Valkyrie when Mercedes is available.

Strowman isn't very good and Mercedes is signed to New Japan.

Yeah in the sense that fans are still behind him to dethrone Roman. The best time to do it was still Mania. Maybe take the title off Roman at SS then plants seeds for Roman and Solo to feud at Mania.

That is the whole point. The chase is always more interesting than the victory.
He just returned at the Royal Rumble a couple of months ago from injury. It would be too soon to crown him. Let him chase the title a little more.
If mark fans wanna bitch and claim they'll stop watching the product because Cody didn't win at WM, so be it.
Funny, those same people always find their way back to watching again even when they swear they're done watching. LOL
 
Being honest ROH stronger than AEW at the moment. TK needs to set base rosters for each promotion hopefully TK is announcing a partnership with OVW as a developmental territory

People stop watching when they're not enjoying the product. No different than a TV series a fan nolonger finds enjoyment in watching. When I didn't like the direction The Walking Dead went, I stopped watching. Wrestling for whatever reason is easier to step away from and come back. Maybe it's various charater stories twine into the show. Vince is probably gonna undo everything Triple H had done over the last 7-8 months. If Vince butchers the product then yes SOME fans will stop following until they have reason to follow again.

Raw had one of their most watched shows (this year) on Monday, even if it was poorly rated by those same mark fans and Twitter personalities that know it all yet have never worked the business.

Was it a good episode of Raw? Not really. Was it the worst thing ever? Absolutely not. People just carried their Sunday WrestleMania night 2 complaining to the next night...meanwhile WWE was enjoying a nice number, the same night as the NCAA Championship.

Those mark fans will hate watch Raw, whether it's a good show or not lolz

Even Cody knows AEW is not the ultimate in performance and showcasing your skills. He created his own promotion and still needs validation from WWE

More or less he didn't want to be like what he saw growing up with the promoter being the world champion
