My gimmick is I base judgement on a wrestler's bad assery on their character portrayal, unless there happens to be video evidence of the guy being so inept that he could not even defend himself from getting tickled, then I have a hard time believing he is a bad ass and the best at fighting. SILLY!

I’m sure Kenny Omega has worked a match that featured tickling in Japan.

AEW makes Orange Cassidy an agent, turns back Bret as one. Classic AEW.

I love Bret but he is AWFUL on camera nowadays. And part of that is because he obviously doesn't want to be on camera unless he can wrestle. He'd serve far better as a road agent or coach. |

Didn't Wrestlemania 39 just sell like 135,000 tickets?

I wouldn't say that pointing out a spinjob is the same thing as throwing a tantrum, but I know a few people hate anything but fresh roses for AEW, be so be it. |

I hope they step up their graphics and set design output. They're both incredibly busy.

It’s like Dave Meltzer’s old talking point of AEW doing better on PPV than anyone since WCW. It was only true if you compared AEW’s international buys across all media platforms against ECW’s US terrestrial PPV buys. Call this a tantrum all you want. |

1. The highest paid attendance implies money, not number of tickets. 2. Wrestlemania 32 made $17.6 million 3. Nowhere do they make the claim that the same event has to be a single day. 4. Wrestlemania 39 sold an average of 67,500 on consecutive days. 5. Wrestlemania 39 made an average of $10.8 million on consecutive days. Skewing and framing numbers to focus on a limited interpretation in order to self celebrate is always going to come off lame to me, not "incredible". |

Yeah, that's a wrong take. Highest paid attendance clearly refers to the most tickets paid for for a single event. Highest grossing would be the most money, right?

2. They haven’t claimed highest gross 3. Surely it’s implicit? Why woud you compare a multi-day event to a single event? AEW could just run a week long festival with shows on each night and add all the attendances together. This shouldn’t need clearing up. 4. Well this seems completely irrelevant as it’s not even the Mania that sold the most tickets for a single show. But this goes back to your misunderstanding. See point 1. 5. Again, irrelevant to the claim. Gonna give the benefit of the doubt that you’ve just misunderstood what the terms mean rather than another example of you tripping over yourself to be negative about AEW. |

Enjoy that Cumdorx was so easily triggered when I basically said, "I'm doing this to trigger Cumdorx."

I love how you can just share a stupid "fact", and then just say "well I told you that you are just triggered." What exactly do you think the point of a discussion board is anyways? Post something on a discussion board, but then you don't want anybody to discuss it? My fault, clearly misunderstood the purpose of this place

It’s this whole changing of history. As I said earlier, unless your claim is that the business is healthier — or that AEW could possibly challenge WWE head-to-head — then this “achievement” is basically trivia. I put achievement in quotation marks because everyone knows they struck a starved market with a stunt show. It’s sold largely because it’s wrestling in Wembley Stadium. Does anyone doubt that WWF or WCW could have hit something there that did better? Of course not. But wrestling is so hollow right now that doing this to basically put spin on how effective your company isn’t becomes a prerogative and everyone loses their minds exaggerating its significance. |

There’s something to be said for wanting to turn people away at the door, so you can hit markets again and again, reliably. Being an actual ongoing hot ticket. There have been cases, historically, where running a stadium to prove you can has been called out as a weird business decision (Rumble ‘97 comes to mind). And what do you think those Collision in Korea shows were?
Also, lol at “New Japan shows in North Korea.” |

Old Dirty went to the AEW Show and smelled like a piece of shit.
He also cannot deny this claim, defend himself, or even respond because this is just to trigger him, because he is a smelly ass shithead. I cant wait for this to trigger him, then I can say he is a triggered bitch. Also if he can't type because he is unable to contain his seething, he will be silently in shambles. SO GOOD!!! |

You know who also had an unpleasant time at AEW? LuFisto. Sounds like more of the women being bullies.
