AEW are pretty clever with their contracts because they'll split peoples pay with NJPW and/or CMLL and let guys take indie bookings so they can offer a little less money up front on their own deals because talent feels like they have other avenues to earn.

That and they are pretty good at scaling their events to different venues. They'll run a 2000 seater that costs them fuck all rather than push for the bigger arenas for anything outside of PPVs. Their production budget is probably fairly small as well because they don't really do a whole lot of fancy shit outside of pyro and i believe WBD covers a good chunk of it anyway.

When they first started out they made a lot of mistakes financially, from running arenas too big, to directly trying to compete with WWE, to that god awful video game that costed them a fortune and didn't even work.
It's nice to see that Tony found the plot again and is actually acting like a real life businessman.

It's definitely noticeable in the last year that Tony finally realized he should be booking smaller venues for Dynamite. It got ridiculous for a long time where they were running 10,000 seat venues and filling it with 2,000 people. Now those are for the PPVs which do much better attendance. It's still a product I have almost no interest in for a variety of reasons but at least Tony is taking the business-side more seriously.
 
All I know is I'm praying for a backlash miracle tonight...

I swear Tony is Bizarro Heyman, able to identify a talent's weakness and emphasis it as much as possible. We have a hot, MILFy Japanese chick, but she doesn't speak English very good... I know! Let's stick her in cringey backstage segments where she does all the talking and sounds retarded speaking broken Engrish. Cherry on top let's give her a tag partner who's name she can't pronounce.
"Hahrry! Rook in your heartaru!"

Does that make Darby winning AEW's main title the equivalent of Mikey Whipwreck winning ECW's world championship?

It's absurd they refuse to get rid of her because she's part of the coconut nigger squad. Has there been a more dangerous person in wrestling history? From a sheer incompetence standpoint.

You could probably argue New Jack, Sandman, etc.

I'd also argue Stan Hansen, given he knocked Vader's eye out of his socket and was an utter danger because he was near sighted and wrestled without his glasses .
 
3 inches off my dick if Fatu wins.

Edit: My cock is, predictably, safe.

The hard-core carnie stuff is its own thing. And I'm on New Jack's side in the Mass Transit incident. He gave the kid exactly what he was asking for and what he honestly deserved for lying his way i to the show, just cut him in the wrong place.

I think belt collecting is kinda sorta cool if you're a huge fan, have the disposable income, and you're buying replicas of the actual title but keep it modest. You're not going out and buying a replica of every single belt because be honest, what the fuck enjoyment are you getting out of seeing the women's intercontinental title staining your collection? Like I don't think anyone in here, if they were to visit someone's house and they had the blue strap Big Eagle with WWF on it and not the E that that would come off as lame. I think it becomes gay when you start buying belts of your favorite sports teams, every individual wrestler you like who has one of those hideous custom designs, or some belt to commemorate some random ppv. At that point you're just mindlessly consooming and might as well collect funky pops like the faggot you are.

yeah if I dumb lucked into one cheap I'd probably dig it, like I have a Kamen Rider helmet that's Black mispainted to be #1
I got it a con for twenty bucks because hey kamen rider helmet, but I know GOOD replicas are a digit extra
I've easily gotten enough fun of putting it on a shelf
my wife had a toy belt for a while that was the local spoken word poetry championship title so we've had experience putting a wrassle belt on display in our home
 
This post-match attack doesn't unbury a clean pin. Way to make Fatu look harmless.
Triple Nose is retarded as ever.
