You missed the point. This is solely a fragile ego person working for a fragile ego boss targeting videos that hurt their feelings under the guise of copyright infringement, but not doing so under their actual names to avoid any backlash that would in turn hurt their fragile egos.

It also goes against the public claims made by that very company when they virtue signaled how great they are by stating they would not do this very thing.

I have zero issue with a company wanting to protect their property, but not when the sole purpose is to quelch criticism.

Why are you fags always talking about the dumbest shit? Who cares about this crap?

BigCrippyZ 07-18-2022 03:03 PM

:lol: Something from 3+ years ago that only exclusively mentions GIFs but not videos or anything else. Never mind that Matt Jackson may or may not have had the authority as an agent (an agent of the company, not a match making agent, just to be clear) of AEW to make that claim at the time.

Nevermind that all company's selectively enforce their IP, because that's simply a right of ownership. Depending on if and how much it helps or hurts a company to market/promote their company/product, that's a factor in determining how likely they are to enforce their IP rights.

You think this is a dumb war? Just wait until a retired wrestler wrestles a few matches on the undercard with a name and costume he used in a popular 90’s movie for shits and giggles.

Shit shall hit the fan!

BigCrippyZ 07-18-2022 04:04 PM

I just love the grasping at straws and moving the goal posts to make this bullshit non-story into something that some how makes AEW look bad, even if it is hilariously predictably pathetic.

"Oh look! They're doing something legally wrong, someone online who's not a lawyer said so!"

Nope.

"Yeah, but they made up a person to do something, so clearly something bad must have happened!"

Nope. They might be using an alias, but that by itself is not an indication of anything and not a legal issue in this situation.

"Well yeah, but they said they'd never do what they're now doing! See, they're just as bad as WWE!"

One person, who's not ultimately in charge, claimed over 3 years ago that if FANS (not critics) post one specific type of media that's not even mentioned in this "story" infringement claims won't be pursued by AEW, and he may or may not have even had the authority to actually bind AEW to that claim.

"Yeah, but they're preventing people from criticizing them!"

Nah, you're still free to criticize them all you want. I mean this thread here alone is evidence of that. You just can't violate their IP rights in doing so and they don't like you're using their IP. Also, they're just like almost every company on the planet that does this, because they have the right to selectively enforce their IP rights how they see fit.

I'll give xrod credit though, he's got more balls than Noid at least. The only thing I respect less than a moron, is a moron who's also a coward.

You’re not a lawyer. Stop lying to people to try and big-note yourself for validation. :lol:

I love the way that you, “as a lawyer,” reference the timing of the article like it has anything to do with the subject at hand. Nor is the legality for that matter. xrod is just pointing out that they’re wormy assholes. Like you. No wonder you take that boot in so far.

You want cowards? Why don’t you tell people the truth about this company being a giant nothing taco? And stop fucking trying to change the subject to get them off the line.

The guy who randomly uses “slurp, slurp” to deflect from the shit-ton of evidence of him sucking off anyone who doesn’t call him out on his bullshit would like you to respond with something more substantial than just rhyming his “slurp, slurp”.

Are these videos that were taken down literally just dudes talking over the footage for the whole thing? Cause then it's understandable.

But if its a well put together video that uses clips here and there to enhance the presentation, then they're being petty. And yeah, a lot of companies request dmca strikes for that.

A lot of greedy, petty, dickhead companies.

You know, by the time that video game comes out, none of the roster will exist anymore save for the Bucks.

I'd take an entire roster of Eva Maries over Marina. Eva is a MILLION times better than her. It's not even close.

I’ll believe it when I see it. The Bucks paid to have some video of theirs boosted on YouTube where the heading is “We’ve got nothing left.” That would segue into Omega returning and kissing his buddies all better in another masterclass of storytelling. But I’m still suspicious.

I wonder if they will have a SHARK WEEK match where there is BARBED WIRE EVERYWHERE and to win you can MURDER YOUR OPPONENT by tossing him into SHARK INFESTED WATERS. The sharks will certainly be CHOMPING AT THE BIT because of the bloody waters due to the BARBED WIRE. In the upcoming AEW game.

You might as well have him go 15 minutes with Wardlow.

Mr. Nerfect 07-20-2022 02:34 PM

Pretty sure they will reach out to Shark Boy. I’m going to predict a Rampage match against…Billy Gunn. I was going to go with Luther on Dark, but I think they’ll go with this shark branding and try to tie it into The Gunn Club stuff. Maybe Shark Boy & The Acclaimed lose to The Gunn Club and then Paul Wight comes out as Captain Insano to save them after a post-match beatdown?

Mr. Nerfect 07-20-2022 02:36 PM

Oh my god…Shark Boy vs. Shark MAN. Or Shark Boy II, Shark Boy W, Great W Shark, etc. Shark Boy vs. another masked shark wrestler. Or maybe even a giant tag team match pitting the sharks against the fishermen?

Mr. Nerfect 07-20-2022 02:39 PM

The only question I have is whether Shark Boy ends up All Elite or not. There’s so much they could do with him. Wardlow’s got those Goldberg vibes, right? Have Shark Boy do the Steve Austin impersonation against him.

You’ve got a masked dinosaur, a masked shark has got the same ancient apex predator vibes. Put Shark Boy with Christian and have Shark Boy as a smug heel that hides behind Luchasaurus. They can be the proper tag team of the group and maybe even Trios Champions together. Bring in a woman to be Lava Girl for the women’s division.

If you want to take their masks off, Luchasaurus’ real name is Austin. You can have Shark Boy do his Austin impersonation and call them “Austin & Austin.”

Is anyone here thinking that they will be watching the new ROH product when/if it develops into some kind of a show, bit on on legit TV or streaming or whatever. I am in theory, going to watch it but only if they have decent crowds. I don't want to watch some Orlando Studio ROH tapings.

Well Britt Baker made my day. She was asked about how Rosa compared their rivalry to Austin/Rock. She basically said, no, we are not on that level, not even close and Rosa should keep her mouth shut because every time she opens it she says something stupid.

You fuckin tell her Britt.

Was gonna try to shoot for the same tix for Grand Slam this year since it was just perfect last year (front row upper deck, so nobody in front of me....plus as a bonus I was on the aisle)

Looking at the seating chart, for some reason they've decided to reverse the setup this time. So the stage is on the side of the other side of the arena. Doesn't seem it'd make a difference though because the arena should be pretty much the same on both sides.

Don’t get me wrong, Rosa comes out with some tripe and she’s nowhere near the level that’s she’s currently being pushed to but it’s clear what she was trying to say albeit very clumsily. .

#1-norm-fan 07-21-2022 08:04 AM

I don’t even think it was all that clumsy. It was clear as day what she was saying to anyone who wasn’t reading it with an ulterior motive in mind. It’s not her job to choose her words in the least twistable way possible.

Protip for Jordan, AAA or anyone else that might be thinking about going to Grand Slam again, if you use "A View From My Seat" or anything like that as a frame of reference just remember everything's inversed. So like section 110 is dead center of the ring, meaning 109/111 are flipped this year etc

So below would be something close to the "equivalent" of the seats I just got, just reversed. Liked my view last year but couldn't get tix for there and honestly this looks like a better view anyway even if there was an extra spend. pumped.

It’s a pretty well-known rule to not compare yourself to the biggest stars in the industry. Once you drop Austin and Rock’s names or compare your series to Flair/Steamboat, or a moment to Andre/Hogan you are done. Those are just examples. She should know that. Even her coworkers are like “shut up, dude.”

People want their favorite wrestlers to be smart, but a lot of them are just fucking idiots. As you said, she’s always putting her foot in her mouth.

IF the "View from my Seat" is a visual of CM Phil, it is a HORRIBLE seat. In that case, you would only want to buy an obstructive view seat to avoid seeing that weak bitch. :rofl:

Even her coworkers are like “shut up, dude.”

People want their favorite wrestlers to be smart, but a lot of them are just fucking idiots. As you said, she’s always putting her foot in her mouth.

Yeah I get that but how do you get the point she’s trying to make across succinctly? She could have said Trish/Lita for a female comparison but she’d probably catch almost as much flak for that. Kane/Undertaker? How many “career feuds” can you think of that didn’t involved top guys (or guys that would go on to be top guys)? The whole thing just feels a little hypercritical.

I get your thing is to try to reason to the bitter end without being too combative, XL. But I really think you’re being too nice here. Lol

She made the point fine. Like I said, it shouldn’t be up to her to look for any little thing in her words that can possibly be twisted by people with an agenda.

XL 07-21-2022 01:20 PM

You’re probably right.

#1-norm-fan 07-21-2022 01:21 PM

(She did also give Lita and Trish as an example in the quote, by the way.)

Fignuts 07-21-2022 01:42 PM

I wouldn't have a problem with it even if she did compare herself directly.

If you aren't always presenting yourself as a bigger deal than you are, then you never will be a bigger deal than you are.

Fignuts 07-21-2022 01:43 PM

I'm not sure when people started having a problem with that. It's just showmanship.

Wonder what ever happened to the infamous floor pisser that worked at my old job, know he got laid off while I was there but not sure what ever happened to him after.

I'd like to think he hasn't left his house since COVID started. For the betterment of society.

Just say your personal issue isn’t over. You have a feeling you’ll cross paths many times in the future. You don’t need to psychological plant the analogy that you are on a level that is going to betray how not on that level you are not (which is what happened — she’s still fucking recovering from it — even with her coworkers).

Lol, it’s been forever. People used to get frustrated by “Who is the next Rock” on here way back in 2004. It’s not a new thing. You don’t compare yourself to something that has achieved greatness in the mind of your target audience. It’s a rule of showmanship. If you’re an actor, don’t compare yourself to Marlon Brando. If you’re a singer, don’t compare yourself to Frank Sinatra, etc.

If a movie has a similar plot to The Godfather, saying it has a similar plot to The Godfather is not the same as comparing it to The Godfather. Jesus Christ. And if someone thinks that, fuck ‘em. That’s their own inability or unwillingness to understand basic fucking context. Again, it shouldn’t be her job to protect her words from dumb/desperate try-hards.

Good faith conversation my ass. Lol

Also…

“No, I think Thunder Rosa should talk the least amount as possible in wrestling and in interviews and in everything and the world would be a better place because she sounds stupid all the time when she says anything. That’s what I think [Baker smiled].“

SHOOOOOOOT!!!!

Vastardikai 07-21-2022 11:21 PM

On one hand, sometime Rosa can be cringe on some of the things she says. Not gonna lie on that.

On the other hand, Britt can fuck right off. Like right the fuck off. How does she not understand one aspect of the wrestling business that I got when I was doing E-Wrestling bullshit: Don't bury your opponent. But, Britt sees Rosa as a threat to her star power, because people actually WANT to wrestle Thunder Rosa. Luckily for Britt, she dates a string bean of a man and gives just enough attention to the Money Mark that he gets a boner and feels important, so she is in a better spot than she has any right to be in.

Britt shouldn’t have taken those swipes, I agree. Rosa needs a talking to from management. She does seem to play a game really well, I dunno — I see why Britt Baker is potentially more valuable than Rosa, who seems really hit and miss.

Seth Freakin’ Rollins over here breaking that well-known rule, comparing himself to Shawn, Eddie, and Bret.

And that guy just commands respect, doesn’t he?

Mr. Nerfect 07-23-2022 03:07 PM

Even Dave is beginning to mock Rampage now.

Mr. Nerfect 07-23-2022 10:57 PM

Danielson is cleared and is going to be wrestling Daniel Garcia on Dynamite. I don’t dislike Garcia, but come on man — choose your spots.

Jordan 07-24-2022 07:53 AM

It's gonna be a good match. Garcia is getting a big push, it's a better investment than Guevara I think.

xrodmuc316 07-24-2022 11:04 AM

It is too bad Bryan isn't Tiny Khan's favorite.

Fignuts 07-24-2022 01:21 PM

They could turn Garcia into huge babyface by running an angle where Sammy runs him out of the JAS. Plant the seeds by having Garcia begrudgingly shake Danielson's hand after their match.
