The in ring product is probably some of the best wrestling in the world at the moment but the booking is just utter shite. It's crazy that someone can't get in TKs ear and get him to course-correct before the company is only pulling 200-300k viewers a week.

I like Danielson but the World Title is essentially meaningless for the next while with him holding it because i feel like he wants Omega to be his last match and Kenny is only now back training and seems to be teasing a Golden Lovers reunion which means it could be this time next year before he's well enough to consider a full return to singles stuff.

You can't just put your top division on ice like that and have PPV after PPV of guys you've built up as challengers losing time after time. WWE got stale when Brock, Cena and Roman buried people in this manner a few years ago and that's what made AEW a viable thing in the first place yet they are doing the same thing now.

Omega vs Danielson was my favorite match from the Pandemic Era. That was peak AEW.

There's a weird overlap in recent years of WWE fans and guilty white people who feel like they have to pretend to enjoy rap/hip hop/whatever that Mexican version of rap is called despite literally all of it being utter shite.

It's almost as if WWE was so openly racist in the past that they have to pretend that whatever "get dat money and get dem hoes" nonsense that some random hoodrat babbles into a mic over a basic as fuck beat is pure genius.

Yet they would never do another Godfather with his ho train.
Shameful exclusion of black culture.

I don't really know how you turn it around at this point either.

They need to hire a couple of former soap opera writers to show tony how to write long dramatic story lines. They can help impatient tony with his retarded habit of putting on banger matches with zero build or story at all.
trent said:
The stop-start nature of his booking doesn't help either. People start to get pushed and then just sort of get forgotten about after a few weeks so the audience is trained to not get behind midcard talent because it will always lead to nothing.

Yeah if you or the person you are working a program with gets hurt which happens every other week you are both now out of the rotation for months and ghosted until you make a stink on twitter.

I'd imagine next week it'll go up a good amount, but not near what it was before, and the cycle of their viewership #s declining will continue

Yeah soon as they get the big bang lead in again they will be right to their groundhog day 600k

I always enjoyed Kidman. He was great in WCW and good in WWE. Best member of Raven's flock besides Saturn.

I loved people trying to power bomb Kidman those compilations were good.

I'm not a fan of these artists and I find contemporary hip hop to be shit, but you're really showing your age if you don't think that this shit isn't popular with the younger demos these days.

Acting like this is a recent thing is hilarious, too, given that WWE's been doing this for decades at this point. Whether it's Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock or Alter Bridge or this spate of garbage 'rap.'

Hell, as far back as Salt N Pepa at WMVIII

Those AEW ratings were just brutal

It is the MLB Playoffs right now, so lower ratings aren't a shock for a couple of weeks.
 
Anyone else think that Lex Luger kinda looks like every member of Van Halen rolled into one person?
 
Dwayne has already "that doesn't work for me brother"-ed his way out of a planned three way match against Cody and Roman at Mania. Apparently he's going to be too busy with moviestar shit but it's more likely that he wasn't willing to eat a pin from Cody.

If Hunter has any balls he'll tell him to go fuck himself and stop bringing him back but considering Dwayne is on the board of TKO it might not be an option.

I got Mandella Effect'd hard when I learned he was still alive. I could've sworn he died back in the mid to late 00's.

Maybe Liz dying is getting mixed up in your head, as she was with Lex at the time. Lex of course nearly dying in a ditch somewhere, according to Bret. Plus with Randy dying in 2011, you get the story of Liz and of course Lex floating around again.

I mean, a lot of guys from the 90s died young, easy mistake to make. Fucking brutal how young wrestlers die off, its not a vocation for the weak of heart.

its a WON report so I don't trust it, I don't think a 3-way was going to happen in the first place, theres too much money between a staredown between Rock and Roman 1-on-1, Cody will probably defend against Orton while Rock vs Roman get a dream match main event
