You're correct, everything the WWE does is creatively sound and conducive to incredible television. You definitely didn't spend the 5 or 6 years before AEW complaining about everything single thing they did.

Because it's easy reps since people hate Noid.

Noid would be apoplectic if Morrison went to AEW and was booked this way.

Noid is the wrestling gatekeeper. He's the only one who gets to say what's good and what isn't, despite his takes being inconsistent.
So, up until a year ago, you were only allowed to hate everything the WWE did. But now, you have to like it, despite their approach not changing at all. |

Mustafa Ali dunked on a dude for being a hypocrite, causing the guy to delete his account.
The dude went to high school with my brother, and coached me. I tweeted "that I know who this is makes it funnier." Because people getting owned on social media is always funny to me. The guy messaged me on Facebook calling me a piece of shit because strangers are harassing his kid. Obviously don't condone harassment, but he claimed I'm "chiming in with the mob" when I had no idea about his kid. I'd think he would know how the internet works (i.e. pretend Heyman will see everything). |

I wish we had a WWE thread to talk specifically about WWE like we have AEW/NJPW. Anyone agree? WWE was down voted greatly in the end of the year awards to worst promotion of the year. I think that with the lack of interest in Wrestling in general makes a solid case for a WWE thread. Thoughts?

I think at this point a WWE thread might make sense. People are actually watching other promotions as opposed to laughing at TNA or whatever.

So I just read Goldberg will probably be showing up at RAW tonight. Honestly, are there people who want to see more of him?

A majority of WWE PPVs this year over performed in comparison to their weekly offerings. Not to mention quality matchups from NXT and NXT UK.

I’d say Smackdown has been relatively enjoyable for most of the year when compared to the godawful programming on RAW.

There is an NXT TV thread isn't there? I usually watch a bunch of episodes of that in a row so I don't contribute to it.

-Matt Hardy -Chris Jericho -AEW -Sting rules but Goldberg sucks There are people who will legit, straight-faced, tell you that AEW has the best tag team division ever. They do not have a tag team as good as Roode & Ziggler or with as much potential as the Street Profits. And most of the general wrestling audience knows this. Worst wrestling promotion has to be between either AEW or TNA. I haven’t watched Impact in long enough to comment. But there’s a reason those two entities are working together. |

Let’s take those 2 examples; Roode & Ziggler (AKA The Dirty Dawgs) could be better than every team in the world, future, past, or preset but they are met with an absolute “meh”. That’s not because of some bias against WWE, it’s because Ziggler has been middling about in WWE for 15 years doing the same act.
Street Profits are great (well, Montez Ford is great, Dawkins is there too) but potential means nothing in WWE, as they have proved over and over and over again. You can’t invest in them because you will get burned. And you will get burned. The bias that exists towards AEW is that as a new entity they have the capacity to deliver on promise (obviously you depart on the grounds of what it is that you want delivered) whereas WWE have spent the last 20 years promising to not deliver. I watch both with a general malaise to be honest but I think the above is pretty evident. |

Or he was just calling Booker's wife a dog?
That shit reeks of something word-for-word from VKM. Kurt almost sounds like Vince when he says it. |

The same guy that posted all the WCW C shows and all the Shotgun Saturday Nights has posted all the 2005 and 2006 episodes of Velocity on youtube.

I remember it was a bit of a bummer not having a B-show for SmackDown anymore. It only ended because ECW needed to be taped when Velocity was getting taped. But then eventually SmackDown and ECW did a "talent exchange" or whatever.

The best C-show announcer of the era, to me, is/was Scott Stanford (he still works there, but doesn’t do commentary). My favorite will always be when David Hart Smith was working Zack Ryder on Superstars or something. DH Smith was wearing a cowboy hat for no reason. Smith shoulder tackles Ryder and then does this weird dance and Stanford, in a serious announcer voice goes “Tex is shaking his hips. Tex is shaking his hips.” Fucking amazing. |
