They might avoid talking about it, just to deny the idiot any attention.

Not a Cornette fan. He was sharing anti-Cornette stuff before he got shut down too. He tagged Corny in a post for attention. Not the same thing.

At this point, I doubt the guard rail jumper and the Twitter Twit are even the same person. Twitter Twit is most likely a Bullet Cult Troll.

The funny thing to me is that Pillman Jr. doesn't look nearly as much like his dad to me as he looks like The Miz with actual facial hair and hockey hair. I've never been able to unsee that.

Oyster bar seems awesome.

Slurp a couple oysters with maybe some horseradish or a mignonette sauce and then just house a lobster roll.

You’ll be set for life.

The complex where Arthur Ashe Stadium is (the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center) has 2 other smaller stadiums also that seem like they would be cool for wrestling if they ever want to run a smaller place...

Louis Armstrong Stadium (seats 14,000)

The Grandstand (seats 8,000, but is outdoors)

Two seperate problems, though.

WWE is the bigger brand trying to cast a larger net to get more people to watch... but they're doing it clumsily and insultingly and trying to remove all the wrestling from wrestling almost to the point of parody. But an unaware parody, because they're completely playing it straight by deliberately pushing people fans express active displeasure in, burying people fans get behind, and hiring talent seemingly just off of any buzz they may have generated elsewhere with zero plan to actually use, push, or promote them. They put on shitty shows because they insist on deviating from what made them good to begin with.

AEW, conversely, is putting on the same shit for the niche audience who already watch. They're not going to or apparently trying to grow, and their stupid shit is "on brand" for people who like it already. Doesn't mean it still isn't insulting shit most of the time - it's just "our" insulting shit.

It's like driving through a town with two competing radio staions, one is a ClearChannel pop-py, saccrine top 40, and the other is owned by some local hipster with microbrew money and only plays shit from local country bands in his area because that's what *he* likes. So, unless you want to hear a plethora of either disposable autotuned it-girls or a variety of twangy pickup truck ballads, you're shit out of luck.

TL;DR - AEW fans don't have to hijack shows, because they're already getting their dumb shit fix they expect. WWE fans expect better, but the company is clearly not interested in giving it to them because it's all about what Vince wants and the shareholders expect monetarily.

Dynamite has been a show for less than two years and for 15 of those months they were hampered by a global pandemic that didn’t allow them to tour or have fans. They were just able to start touring again last week. What exactly do you think should have happened differently?

Meeting ended earlier than expected, managed to get seats for Arthur Ashe. Section 134 but in the first row.

https://aviewfrommyseat.com/wallpape...0216224930.jpg

Seems good. Couldn't get a hold of my only IRL wrassling watching friend to see if he could go as he's away on vacation but bought 2 seats just in case.

If anyone here is waiting to buy later and willing to go solo just PM me and I can sell the seat to you if my friend can't go. Should know next week. Otherwise I'll just throw it on Stubhub if I need to.

Ya I had 2 tickets in the lower section selected and by the time I clicked "next" they were gone. Seeing seats go from blue to grey in real time makes the whole thing stressful AF.

But I'm glad with what I got, doesn't really seem there's a bad seat in the place.
