Unpopular Opinion: Vaseline on toast is better than Kenny Omega.

Lock Jaw 10-14-2020 08:03 PM

(I don't really mean that. I think Kenny could have been a "star", as big as they can get nowadays anyways by which I mean treated like a big deal for awhile before becoming like anyone else, if he went to WWE instead of sticking around his buddies and being goofy)

Vastardikai 10-14-2020 08:14 PM

You have to admit the one I repped you was funny, though.

Honestly, the reason why I say that is thus: Tim Storm is a breath of fresh air compared to these goofy pizza cutter wrestlers who are all edge and no point. His old ass comes across as sincere, and it's a breath of fresh air.

Mr. Nerfect 10-15-2020 12:00 AM

Jay White is better than Kenny Omega.

#1-norm-fan 10-15-2020 02:26 AM

I laughed at how sad it was that some nobody in his 50s named Tim Storm was NWA champion. Then NWA Power came along and I actually got invested in him. Fuck, I miss that show.

And yeah. Watching just a couple episodes of NWA Power should leave you more interested in Tim Storm than watching every AEW appearance by Omega.

Love Toni Storm. Brings the physicality and god damn she thiccc

So happy she's back

Seanny One Ball 10-15-2020 04:20 PM

You like a big strong woman called Tony aye?

Mayu has literally been carrying stardom on her back amidst all the retirements, COVID issues, and the Hana Kimura tragedy. She should be higher.

Emperor Smeat 10-15-2020 08:01 PM

Maybe if PWI didn't rank their lists very heavily towards the kayfabe side.

Not sure if they even consider any other women's title besides those in WWE, NXT, AEW, and Impact as world tittle tier status.

Even PWI's editor admitted Shida would have been ranked higher had they been more fond of AEW's booking for their women's title and division. Booking issues and lack of main event matches for women were their main digs against Shida and AEW's ranking spot.

Either fan applications for WWE's ThunderDome and Capitol Wrestling Center shows have been declining recently or WWE simply got tired of having to monitor a ton of screens for trouble makers since supposedly NXT's giant video board has been using recorded footage of fan cameras from prior shows.

All the fans on the video wall during the broadcast seemingly aren't live, though. Wrestling fan Jessi Davin could be seen on the LED screens behind Fandango and Tyler Breeze on last night's NXT but she tweeted a video saying she was actually watching AEW: Dynamite.

She wrote: "Why is WWE using stock footage of old Thunderdome participants in the Capitol Wrestling Center lololol I am NOT THERE I am watching #AEWDynamite.

"Y'all I have zero problem with it. I'm actually flattered they thought my footage was good enough to use twice. I'm not outraged, either. When you agree to enter the Thunderdome you agree to the terms and conditions. I'm sure this was in there in the famed wall of text."

Fightful Select later reported multiple readers have told them their image has appeared inside the Capitol Wrestling Center despite them not live streaming at the time.

If its a case of declining fan interest, that's a bad look for NXT and interest for the brand considering they have a lot fewer screens for their shows at the PC.

It's almost as if making people care about you is more important than doing fifteen hundred moves and dives (and finger points).

Vastardikai 10-15-2020 11:05 PM

I'm curious to see how the Masked Wrestler thing goes. It is a different concept, and it holds my interest a bit more than most modern wrestling does for me.

slik 10-16-2020 01:07 AM

The wrestling match with the most views on YouTube is not what you'd expect

That's a shame. If it wasn't plagued by the same shit camerawork that infests the main product, it would have been interesting and a fun way to get some ass kickers over.

Seems its only for the time being and not outright canned.

Makes sense since the recent coronavirus outbreak WWE had originated from their developmental division and some of those talent were also being used for RAW Underground.

I can't even watch current WWE because of those fucking camera cuts

Jordan 10-17-2020 01:18 AM

I haven't seen a full episode of WWE since mania. Just so y'all know where I'm at. Still watching AEW but some of it sucks. I think I'd rather watch 2004 era WWE women than the AEW women, minus Britt Baker who is a gold star. I call for Kenny to get demoted to WRESTLER.

Vastardikai 10-17-2020 09:13 AM

The 3 best women's matches in AEW history featured a woman who wasn't in AEW. And one of them was with someone who thought more of herself than necessary.

Side note: can you picture Harley Race not selling for Ric Flair because "He's the Vet?"

Another side note: In a professionally run promotion, Ivellise would have been removed from television. In AEW, she got a contract.

Seanny One Ball 10-17-2020 01:28 PM

I try not to picture Harley Race.
Ever.

Ivellise is pretty much a lesser version of Tessa Blanchad in regards to how quickly she gets hated backstage although her signing a deal with AEW still hasn't been confirmed yet.

They would have released a "Ivellise is All Elite" message by now like they've done with everyone else.

Bad News Gertner 10-17-2020 05:31 PM

Watched a couple indie shows lately because we get all the ppvs for free. I noticed something really annoying

What does every match have a shot for shot spot where two guys just stand in front of each other and throw punches. It's so dumb.

Emperor Smeat 10-17-2020 05:41 PM

Probably something influenced from Japan considering NJPW and other Japanese promotions do the back-and-forth chop and elbow strike spots regularly during matches as a rest break style spot.

Bad News Gertner 10-17-2020 06:47 PM

It's just so silly. Why would you just stand there and let your opponent knock the shit out of you. And EVERYBODY does it.

Emperor Smeat 10-17-2020 06:52 PM

If I had to guess, just a modern version of the classic tough man or test of strength spot to show the crowd how tough both guys are.

Like back in the day when you'd have two muscular guys grapple and each would try to push the other guy back or make their opponent drop to his knee as a show of strength.

GD 10-17-2020 06:55 PM

Over the past few months, I’ve been noticing that certain professional wrestlers are spewing misinformation about COVID-19 and related political theories. Which one stands out to you?

Emperor Smeat 10-17-2020 07:03 PM

Easily Flip Gordon.

The guy might legit be the dumbest wrestler in today's wrestling scene. Even others who work with him have recently called him out for being the dumbest person they know when it comes to his views on the coronavirus and other conspiracy related stuff.

Bad News Gertner 10-17-2020 07:07 PM

Dumber than TJ Perkins?

Fignuts 10-17-2020 07:38 PM

It’s very much tied to the culture in Japan. Specifically the whole fighting spirit thing.

The problem is that culture doesn’t exist here. Or rather, it’s just represented in a different way here. So when two Indy guys do it here, they just look kinda stupid, like Gertner said.

By a long shot. TJP's dumbness mostly revolves around his views towards women.

Even AJ Styles dumbess when it comes to being a flat earth supporter doesn't hold a candle to Flip's general dumbness.

Chris Jericho might be close although a lot of his dumbness revolves around how he runs his podcast series and him being very open to inviting conspiracy theorists as guests for podcast clicks and views.

If you count being an active participant and not just someone who sprouts dumb stuff, then Drake Wuertz is ahead of Flip Gordon by a mile based on some of the serious stuff that's come out against him in recent months. Supposedly he's been a main spreader of conspiracy related stuff that's been going on recently within WWE. Managed to get others to join in either via donating to bogus charity groups or repeating conspiracy style messaging online.

Fignuts 10-17-2020 07:41 PM

I don’t have a problem with the late match strike exchange where both guys are exhausted and are just trading slow haymakers because they’ve already hit each other with everything else.

That at least makes sense.

Lo-Ki could give Flip a run for his money I bet.
