y'all need more chill up in this bitch,,,,

It's chill that you're chill

Chill post to the chillest guy I know





:cool:

i feel like having employees turn wrestling on for you is the opposite of chill

It was Glacier's Greatest Gaffes tho....








(showing myself out now)

It would be one thing if it was a local sports bar or something but in a restaurant is just ridiculous...I hope they overcompensated their waiter or waitress with an extra healthy tip.

Poor normal people being forced to watch AEW on their nice night out

https://i.imgflip.com/6kvc95.gif

If you want to watch wrestling, stay home. Don’t go out and inflict that shit on others.

"I love you Claudio"
 

Lol that facial expression

AEW is now set on a new course and it's pretty intriguing for the unhappy fan. We don't know how long Punk is out so for now Mox is the champ. He's probably going to be featured more than Hangman was as champ because he's a bigger deal and now his feud with BCC and JAS takes even more priority because the champion is involved.

So what happens next, what is the course for the rest of the summer? If Punk is unable to make All Out who faces Mox for the Interim Championship? You'd think Danielson will be back by that point and we also have Claudio, but those three are apart of BCC. Will there be a split so soon?

I could see Mox vs Jericho being a great summer feud and at some point something happens with Danielson or Claudio that causes a rift and a big challenge for Mox's interim belt against one of his stable mates.

Jericho and Mox could get built up for All Out as the main event and it would probably deliver. It's a great feud that could definitely continue with the right story, and you could say that if AEW is struggling right now it could be smart to go back to something that really worked which was Jericho as champion. Mox as well really worked too and they've gone back to that but in my opinion Jericho would be a good choice if they wanted to have the Interim belt change hands. Jericho's reign was the best think in AEW history for my money.

Hopefully Phil is out at least another 2 to 3 years.

I’m starting to cool on FTR. It’s not their fault, necessarily. But this is the side effect of being hitched to the niche.

:|

Their in-ring work is as great as ever. Don't be absurd.

It isn’t about in-ring work. It’s about significance.

Even if they were the best in ring work team of all time, how many "FEDBAD" gimmicks are we supposed to care about/be invested in? Can you think of any other profession where your main contribution is being bitter and complaining about your former employer constantly, for YEARS on end?

Find me a brain surgeon that has to tell every patient he is going to operate on that "I will take care of you, I used to work at HOSPITALBAD, and boy did that suck, but now look at me".

Now add 25 other brain surgeons into that same room saying the exact same thing, will you really care about any of them?

I must say I'm excited to see what Claudio does in AEW. He's always been great in the ring but the thing that held him back is he doesn't have the most charisma and was not a very good promo. Now he has Regal to talk for him which is possibly going to negate his need to get himself over on the mic. There is potential for him to have the best run of his career here but they are going to need to run with it and not drop the ball.

I dunno if this is the right way to put it, but out of all the guys they have brought over from WWE, this is the one that I think could make for the best champion out of the lot for AEW. Claudio is a guy it seems like everyone has respected forever. He's a physical specimen who is built more like a model almost. His ringwork has been top tier FOREVER. Everyone seems to think he should have been higher on the card in WWE, and they aren't wrong. So here's a guy everyone has basically thought of as championship material for a while...and yet he's never gotten that opportunity. Give it to him now. Push hard. Him as champ fulfills all the things people have believed about him and it's something we haven't seen before. It's different, it's new. It's what people have wanted.

And damnit Claudio straight deserves a run at the top of the pile. He's earned it.

If a brain surgeon were pretending to perform brain surgery on piñatas while a dwarf farts in their face for the personal entertainment of an eccentric billionaire 3 years ago and now he’s actually doing what he wants to do, I don’t think it would be weird for him to tweet “3 years ago I was performing brain surgery on piñatas while a dwarf farted in my face. Now I’m performing ACTUAL brain surgery. Thanks to everyone who believed in me.”

I DO think it would be weird and a sign of awkward insecurity for people to shit on him for daring to mention the shitty piñata surgery/dwarf fart era of his life in a post about how far he’s come.

I really want to care about Claudio and FTR. I really, really want to. It’s just…impossible for me when I know they’re going to be booked shit. I’d love to have faith that they’re going to overcome that shit, but I don’t think anyone can override the context of this company being a mess.

But it was not just one tweet three years later, by just one guy in a company of people who never FEDBAD. That is the point, with everybody there FEDBADing constantly, why should we care about the latest FEDBAD from a repeated FEDBADer? What makes this FEDBAD more important than all the other FEDBADs?

And it is not a shot just at FTR or any one specific person, it is just all they talk about for years and years after the fact.

They went from shaving backs to licking boots. That’s the frustration people are feeling. It’s the need for wrestlers to try and use WWE comparatively as this catch-all “our circumstances might be bad, but at least…”

No. Be a grown-up and own your decisions.

It’s a fallacy when people use something horrific to excuse something terrible they’re doing. That’s why “Fedbad” gets called out. The shit you’re doing is usually for a promotion that is not significantly better enough to justify the hipster bullshit.

AEW needs to concern itself with being good, not with being “not WWE,” because they’re not WWE in some ways that aren’t desirable.

For example: AEW is still yet to book ANYONE to their best. Find anyone who has wrestled anywhere else of prominence and you’ll also see brighter points of their career. For FTR, it was NXT. Miro had those excellent stretches as Rusev. Moxley still dines out in being the third guy in The Shield. Cesaro fans are still going to need to go back to 2014 Cesaro.

Jericho's top AEW stuff is arguably the best work of his career. In particular his feud with Cody. Mox's AEW run has been fantastic and his title reign surpassed anything he ever did in WWE. Sting has been used brilliantly in AEW while in WWE he was booked and marketed poorly. Jake Hager was forced to wrestle every week in WWE while in AEW he only wrestles once or twice a year. Brodie Lee was treated like a top guy in AEW for his run and definitely would have been AEW champion at some point and in WWE he was stuck in tag programs and forgotten.

Jericho’s best work was his 2008 heel run. If you’re partial to 1998 WCW Jericho or WWF Attitude Jericho, I get it, but I don’t see how his AEW work compares to any of that. Mox’s best work was in The Shield. Sting has not been used better in AEW than he was in WCW, or arguably even TNA. Jack Swagger sucked, but so does Jake Hager. Brodie Lee’s best work was Wyatt Family Luke Harper. It’s why everyone thought he was underrated in the first place.

Jericho’s best work was in AEW!? Jordan, my man, I wish I was half as blindingly positive about anything as you are about AEW, because that’s another level altogether!

he said arguably. id love to hear the argument.

<iframe id="reddit-embed" src="https://www.redditmedia.com/r/SCJerk/comments/vm7z8k/tony_khan_welcomes_sasha_banks_to_aew_2022/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share&amp;embed=true" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" style="border: none;" height="528" width="640" scrolling="no"></iframe>

I am certainly not blindly positive about AEW. I haven't watched Rampage in over a month, sometimes I can barely make it through one of the badly booked Dynamite episodes. Still though, AEW PPV's are some of the best of all time, even when the builds are bad or the explosions come off like wet farts.

Jericho's initial run as the top guy in AEW was certainly better than anything he'd done in years in WWE. Not to say his late WWE stuff with the list was bad, but he had been devalued in WWE near the end. AEW repackaged him and treated him like an icon. His work as the first champion was definitely his best championship run in his career.

That's why I consider his AEW run to be some of the best stuff. The feud with The Inner Circle and Cody was fucking incredible. He also had some great TV stuff with Scorpio Sky and Darby. Then Mox came in and turned it up a notch taking the belt and Jericho ended up doing Stadium Stampede with The Elite. Which at the time was one of the most fun things you could've asked for considering the pandemic and the limitations.

Side note: Holy shit, did AEW figure out the best way to use Sting after the train wreck that was his WWE run.

That was one of WWE's biggest fuck ups in recent money in relation to a talent.

I still love Jericho and AEW has definitely used him well bringing him in as being the big name attraction for the company but as far as him "doing his best work"...not even close to when he was in his prime

I hated the list stuff. Even so, I can MAYBE give the first year of Jericho a nod over that, but they’ve got to be pretty close. But that’s got nothing on other stretches of Jericho’s career.

I said what I said! I stand by my opinion.

You guys aren't even real Jerichoholics. Jericho is a fine wine that gets better with age and only true Jericholics recognize the superiority of his arch! He's a Wizard!

I’m not, it’s true. I don’t buy in the myth of him reinventing himself. I think he’s been covering up a bald spot there for about a decade now.

All of the biggest stars in pro wrestling have bald spots! Hogan, Savage, Sting, Flair, Cena, Jericho, bald? Just put him on the list of GOATS where he belongs with all the other balding superstars!

Not to mention Austin and Foley! Foley's were self imposed but still!

I wasn’t making fun of Jericho’s literally bald spot in this case.

Sting has been a blast in AEW. No selling the table against 2.0 might still be favorite moment of his so far.

The words “AEW is currently dead” or “AEW will die by this specific date” were never spoken by Noid personally in that order. Therefore any implication that he implied it is a blatant lie.

Noid has no tolerance for people using blatant lies to push a narrative.

But also:

Randomly turned on Lmaooooo after teasing it for months and mjf costing him the title

Is that what that was about? was wondering why I was more of a lying liar than usual.


Thanks Your Kinglishipness

Kenny Omega’s thinking about calling it quits. No surprise there.

No Kenny wait, I have an idea...

Have you considered writing him a letter about how much you’re into him

I think most of us here would be supportive

thats pretty damn shocking. he hasnt made retire on a beach money

Well it’s just false.

i dont follow

He said if he ever gets as fucked up as he was before he left, he'd be done.

It was never clear what his injuries exactly were, just that there were multiple.

Who'd have thought working a completely unsustainable style in hour-long matches would've left Kenny injured for this long?

The gruelling match against the blowup doll is what really shortened his career, IMO.

Kenny is just a bit depressed because therapy is difficult. He will be back on top soon guys. He's the best in the world.

Kenny worked through multiple injuries for months until the conclusion of his title reign.

Phil stubbed his toe on a guardrail and immediately bailed.

Do you have something against CM Punk xrod?

I don’t think it’s JUST injuries. It’s how the guy is going to be perceived if he slows down. He’s not exactly AJ Styles out there. He needs to be able to throw everything at the wall to be able to stand out. Plus AEW is a completely different company to what he signed up to. You’ve got Punk and Danielson in there now. The ego can get very threatened.

I’ve always thought retirement was a possibility. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he just signs with someone else in January, if he can get his deal to expire without interruption.

I've always liked Punk but I'm not his biggest fan by any means, he's probably not even in my top 25 or 30 wrestlers but xrod is starting to make me become a giant mark for the guy lol

There are fair criticisms of the guy. And he is a giant douchebag. I think a lot of that speaks for itself though. Then again, you hear AEW defenders go to bat for him all the time, so I can appreciate why someone would feel compelled to bust the myth. But if you wanna be a mark for the guy, he’s another you might want to jam it in for, because who knows how long he will last either.

As far as Omega goes, with all the time he's had to think about this, he may want to just retire from in ring competition after putting his body through so much but also is probably factoring other things into this decision too. He's not married and doesn't have any kids as far as i know and has been very dedicated to the wrestling business, which I'm 100 percent positive he will still be involved in regardless if he wrestles or not, he may have other things he wants to focus on/accomplish while he is still young and does not want to get a very serious career ending injury that will effect his day to day life in an extreme way. You never know what somebody's mindset is plus he still has plenty of time and opportunity to make a lot of money in the business even if he's not wrestling. He also could make an in-ring return in the future if he does get that itch that many wrestlers get

With TK paying what he pays these guys, it was always a possibility he would retreat into the mountains to play video games when his deal was up even if it went really well.

Just that he is a weak hack who is the last person anybody should pretend is tough. Like I said, Omega worked through countless injuries for months, and Punk stubbed his toe and quit.

He is also an incredible hypocrite. Remember when he was crying about old part timer The Rock taking his spot? That happened when Rock was 41 years old. Punk is currently 43, and unlike Rock, Punk had ZERO success outside of wrestling, but it is ok now, because Punk LOVES wrestling.

Also Rock was 260 pounds of muscle, not 170 pounds of flabby bitch who everybody saw get his ass beat so embarrassingly it was a black eye for an entire sport.

And of course there is this...
https://i.imgflip.com/6ldnov.gif

He crashed AEW's momentum, ratings, and likability.

I'm not saying he's not, I agree with most of it to a point, I was kind of just making a joke because he mentions it so much no matter what the topic is lol...there is no doubt he is a self-righteous, sanctimonious douchebag who thinks he is morally superior though, I will give you that. I know a few people with that attitude irl and I can't stand them

Punk is so lame he made me a Stan for Kenny Omega, that is how bad Punk is :rofl:

I got you were joking, lol. I personally think xrod is too forgiving of other people on his mission to destroy Punk’s non-existent credibility. Look at Omega getting the rub here.

Its a valid and true point, like I said Punk made me stick up for Kenny Omega :rofl:

I think he just needs to tweak the gimmick a bit and do something to make it fresh but I believe he enjoys the go away heat(I will not use the term "X-Pac heat") that it gives him.

Omega is kind of my Punk. There’s zero intregrity there. I’ve expected him to fuck over/feel fucked over by AEW from the start.

100%. xrod knows what notes he’s playing and who is going to bite.

It is not a gimmick though, I genuinely feel that Punk is a hypocritical bitch who has made AEW lamer than at any point in their existence. Building shows around THAT guy in 2022 is unfathomable to me. He has less credibility than Sonny Kiss who hasnt been on TV in like 1000 days.

To be fair, he does have some value to his name and whether you like him or not, he still does have a lot of "faithful" fans.

Something tells me I'm going to like this Fan post coming up.:D

lol I can't lately. I just can't. But for your sake, I'll point out that he thinks you're calling him simply disliking Punk a gimmick and I'm pretty sure that's not the case. So you're gonna get sidetracked.

Fansplaining.

Damn. Gotta trademark that.

Yep, im not just hating Punk as a gimmick, im hating Punk because I hate Punk. Also Phil as a person is an abject turd.

The gimmick is that you mention him in every thread you post in regardless of whether its relevant. I'm not sure you actually hate him. In fact, I think its a lot more likely you're in love with him.

Where the F is MJF??

You gotta make this gimmick that buries the company look good.

The idea that any top paid performer isn’t full of themselves is stupid. Who is a humble superstar? If you don’t buy your own hype nobody else will either. Hogan but his hype. Austin buys his hype. HBK, Bret, The Rock, Flair etc etc.

My sentiments exactly. I could care less about your opinion on CM Punk whether you want to put a bullet in his head or suck his cock but he just seems to occupy a lot of your thoughts as you put so much time and energy into taking shots at him in every discussion whether it be relevant or not. He's just a wrestler that you don't like not your personal nemesis lol

half those guys could work. other half could draw. few could do both. none of them were public jokes.

Totally valid point, but theres no reason anyone should try to make every discussion on the forum about that.

Unless they secretly get hard talking about him I suppose.

It was very relevant when Kenny Omega is getting dragged for having a bunch of injuries, but Punk being too unathletic to do a crowd dive without hurting himself is out there. That makes any complaint about Omega, who worked through his entire program before leaving, foolish. No matter what you think of Kenny Omega, he didnt just bail, even with far worse injuries.

Just like Phil himself, it is beyond hypothetical.

It is not that time consuming to type a post. Not just for you Crippla, everybody, can we please put this argument to rest once and for all. I am not scribing this shit in stone, chiseling away. Its typing, its easy!

If I may Fansplain again…

Figgy mentioned the fact that you try to force every conversation to be about him whether the conversation is relevant to him or not.

You responded by saying it’s relevant to this one topic of “Omega injury vs Punk injury”. (which I think you kinda made it about in the first place. I didn’t see anyone comparing the two. But let’s not get sidetracked on that yet.)

That doesn’t address what Figgy said.

fair

No one "dragged" on Omega.

Yeah I haven't seen anybody say anything even remotely negative about Omega. If you have serious injuries and you can't work then you can't work. I mean there are a lot of wrestlers who work through minor and sometimes not so minor injuries but shit happens that puts you on the DL when you get in the ring...I don't think anyone should dog somebody for being out with an injury. ( Yes I'm aware there are exceptions in some cases and every situation is different)

The whole narrative of someone not having enough passion and drive for the business because they won't work through an injury to me is ridiculous

Well now, before this sentence becomes a distraction, I DID say something negative about Omega. But it was more of a joke about him wrestling a blowup doll. Because… lol.

Didn’t knock him for sitting out with an injury though.

Implied homosexuality as an insult, does that even warrant a response?

i miss calling people fag. fags ruined faggotry

to paraphrase Louis CK ive never seen a guy sucking cock and called him a fag. i only call people who are acting faggy fags

but the fucking fags took all the fun out of faggot...smdh...

we truly were living in a golden era

That’s not the point. The point is Omega has been the top guy pretty much everywhere he’s been. Regardless of how anyone might feel about his work, he doesn’t make to the level he has without being a self insulting asshole at some point in his life.

That would also go for Punk. It’s pretty widely known he’s mostly an asshole in public unless you treat him a very certain way. And yea he’s very full himself. That’s why he has gotten to where he is.

My friends and I, a group of 3, regularly call each other fags.
