Oh oh I got it: TNA got its start when a guy who's family ran a small sandwich shop got fired from his sweet gig at a national chain that went under when it was bought buy a bigger national chain that he formerly worked at but blackmailed them into giving him a payday. He uses that money to start a company hiring a bunch of the former sandwich artists of the bought out company starting small and being open once a week. Eventually he talked started to bring in chefs from taco trucks and other small joints to show off their sandwich making skills to a bigger clientele and word started getting around about these great tacos and italian beefs but at the end of the day the owner made sure his subpar sandwiches were always on top. Eventually the shop started to draw the attention of some of the sandwich artistes from the big national chain who felt like they weren't getting the opportunities they deserved so they jumped ship and on top of that a lot of the talent that came from the taco trucks was forced to work full time for the sandwich shop cause their boss got caught soliciting a minor online and was featured on TV. Things were going fairly well for the sandwich shop until the daughter of the property owner who knew jack shit about restaurants and dealing with egotistical chefs wanted to get involved and decided to bring in a big name celebrity chef who was 10 years past his prime to "shake things up" and shake up he did by bringing in all his buddies that helped tank the company they worked for by ensuring they got paid guaranteed money and featuring their sandwiches as the main thing on the menu. Fast forward a few years and they the sandwich shop thought it was big enough to go head to head with the national chain and in less than three months ruined any good publicity they had and one by one those former taco truck and italian beef chefs they hired in their formative years left and jump ship to the big national chain and here we are now.

At least the E has steam to lose. AEW cucks never had a milly. Never will. AEW would be deader than ECW if the moneymark was cut off from his daddy's money
 
The Amazon Prime ‘American Gladiators’ reboot, will be hosted by The Miz and will also have Rick Boogs, Wardlow & Kamille on the show as Gladiators.

When your audience numbers are in a constant free fall, maybe consider the fact that the product is getting really stale.

I remember watching this PPV 20 years ago and Eddie back then was in constant pain and I was like "what the hell is wrong with Eddie?"

You'd think that a retarded moneymark with the resources he has that was supposedly a fan of wrestling would fucking get it eventually and do a complete overhaul. Instead you Wardlow buried, most of the guys that jumped ship from WWE debuting and then disappearing, the Pepsi Punk shitstorm and the Pepsi Punk Containment Zone. Where's the fucking limit? When does he go? "Ok this is fucking retarded, I need to get a fucking grip"
Fantasy booking is fun for the memes, but there's a reason its fantasy booking

If he hires a booker then the WWE wins, or something. This nigger is just Herb Abrams with a bigger budget.
 
If he lets me have the book I'm getting Steve Austin to do blackface and larp as a member of the Nation of Islam. I'll spend as much of Tony's money as possible to make it happen

also this and AEW Smarks often just ignore the fact that WWE fans do criticize WWE at times, its just that WWEs mistakes pale in comparison to AEW which is a wholly shit, I don't like the excessive advertising with WWE and some of the title matches being predictable, but its not something that makes me not want to watch at least on a PLE-basis, meanwhile AEWs list of issues could wrap around the planet if you wrote it all down on paper

The reason is that "retarded moneymark" is the one booking matches in the first place instead of hiring an actual booker. So you get "dream matches" without any build-up which brings casual fans like me asking "who is this Japanese wrestler and why should I care for this guy in the first place?"

This is why I miss that website that used to host LOLAEW where a list of AEW's fuck-ups was there for all to see.

I get it, WWE and every wrestling promotion isn't perfect. There are segments in WWE and other promotions that get me thinking "what is this shit?" But as someone said it, WWE caters to a very wide audience while AEW just caters to smarkfags and expect people to know who their import wrestlers are. That and Tony Khan's antics with the footage of CM Punk punching out Jack Perry being aired for a quick ratings boost tuned me off completetely from AEW. And to think that we went from Cody vs. Dustin and their tearful feel-good moment to doing"Desu Riderz" and indie shit that touts itself as a "strong competitor" to WWE.

Right, but you'd think someone who claims to fucking like wrestling would get the importance of telling a fucking story. That's quite literally the most important aspect of pro wrestling, after all
 
According to Xitter Mr Iguana might be going straight to the main roster because of how hot he is right now. Having a more wacky gimmick like that will be fun to have around especially with the plush.

"Telling a story" seems to have been lost in AEW. A wrestler's gimmick, their presentation and how they wrestle should blend together like a good milkshake. If they can't wrestle, they can more or less hide their weaknesses by doing something else like "hardcore" wrestlers smashing people up with all kinds of shit or become managers/valets instead.

I'm not sure if this is the right video for this but watching this one years ago, the narrator mentioned about how telling a story in a match is important.

There is a "mystery" opponent for the 4 way KOTR qualifier match on the 6/16 episode of Raw
Sheamus teased Iguana
Iguana responded

Even with all that, I still doubt it's Iguana, but it would be a lot of fun to see him interact with three serious wrestlers to start off with. Need to see Bronson hit a Tsunami on La Yesca.
