I mean yeah it's childish. That's why it's funny.
|
Dale, you honestly don’t think it’s funny, do you? Stop being nice to those idiots lol.
|
Something can be petty, stupid, and harmless. Not everything AEW does has to be the end of the fucking world.

I don’t find petty stuff funny, sorry. There’s no wit to it at all. It’s just a mean-spirited jab at a condition that caused a guy a lot of strife. You can kind of fuck off with that shit. To put it in a video game when you’re supposed to be 10 years wiser or whatever? It’s just more reason to wipe your ass with the company.

Like you know what diverticulitis 5 isn't worse than? WWE using Reid Flair's death to prop up some shit storyline.

There are "moral outrage" battles to take on. Someone mocking Brock Lesnar's condition he brought on himself because he ate nothing but roast beef every day isn't one of them.

No. Diverticulitis 5 is a giant nothing. Brock Lesnar is an asshole and I don't feel sorry for him.

It doesn’t take much room in one’s life to say “that’s fucking gross” and move the fuck on. Which is what people have been doing in general with AEW since the beginning.

Like I'm a fan of Brock as a performer. But I could give two fucks about his sickness or his struggles

Imagine getting worked up and posting on multiple pages because a wrestling company you hate but can’t stop talking about used a rib name for a move in their video game.
Was there this big of a loser outrage when Steen originally did it way back when? My guess is prob not because Noid, the loser in this scenario, was too busy fantasy booking a Val Venis v Doug Basham wrestlemania trilogy. |

Dale’s pretty honest about AEW. But I don’t get the Reid Flair/WWE stuff being brought up. Yeah, that was tasteless too.
|
I just wanna hear the story of why Excalibur named it that in the first place. Lol

Quote:
Your reaction reminds me of the Young Buck/Omega fans acting like Punk gaslighted those guys and gave them PTSD. |
I’m not even saying they’re in the same realm lol. I didn’t introduce it, you did. The move thing is just tasteless and stupid. It doesn’t need to be placed on a gradient.
|
Based on how strident you are about it, I think it was needed for some perspective. We're talking about the pro wrestling business FFS.
|
I swear I read a few months ago that Kenny and the bucks no longer hold their EVP positions as a condition of the legal issues with Punk.
Is that true or did someone make it up and a bunch of people just ran with it? |
Its a token title regardless

I just saw that the silly tag tournament AEW is doing has Keith Lee teaming up with Swerve Strickland. Just to remind you of the feud that never went anywhere. And that being Tag Champs in this company doesn’t mean anything. They’re going against Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy. This. Fucking. Company.
|
Pretty sure Omega & The Bucks are still EVPs. They don’t really do anything though. And that title will possibly disappear if/when they re-sign with the company.
|
You guys, I'm so over this AEW nonsense. I can't even with this rich fuck boi fantasy league anymore. Wish Corny would start a wrestling coz he'll treat it like a real sport. Fuck it! Have the entire front row be filled with Ethiopians eating buckets of chicken.
|
Diverticulitis Five.
|
So how about that video game, huh?
|
Its a fun time. Great party game. Highly flawed, but fun. Easily the most fun wrestling game from an american company in a decade. Still, it clearly needed another year for polish and maybe an extra mode or two. They claim there's post launch support for a year or two but with embracer groups financial situation im going to call this, unfortunately, essentially the final product.
A good dumb time though. Aint no firepro though. |
Modders are already adding stuff in. Forbidden Door arena, Cody's WWE attire, etc.
Also a giant dildo in the weapons pool lol |
Kenny vs A Blowup Doll in a dildo on a pole match in the Tokyo Dome.
|
The blowup doll will make main roster before FTR.

If they were to add anything beyond that (match types, etc) I would say that would be fairly stunning given the reality of what is happening at Embracer. Assets get reallocated/studios closed and moved to the bigger name IPs all the time. As someone who is/has been a massive fan of the Tony Hawk series, the THPS 1+2 remake/remaster was fantastic. Immediately sold a million units within a week. Fans of the series gave it overwhelmingly rave reviews. And even after all of that, Activision killed the 3+4 remake by folding Vicarious Visions and moving them over to work on Diablo. So yeah there’s no way a niche game like this is gonna get much in the way of support. The folks who act like this is gonna feel like a brand new game in a year are gonna be in for a rough time. |
Initially they were talking like this was going to be an ongoing support game, hence the title "Forever," but there's just no chance of that happening at this point. Im hopeful theyll focus 90 days or so of patches and focus on collision detection first and foremost but we'll see.

Jade Cargill’s social media conduct seems to suggest that she is disenchanted with wrestling and might be looking to move on. Could be nothing, but she certainly doesn’t seem rah-rah about making an AEW return.
|
At the very least, the community manager has made themselves present on reddit and is keeping people updated on what they're working on. That being, stabilization of the ps4 version at the moment.
|
I could see it going either way with Cargill. Wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to move on from wrestling, but we also live in an age of social media angles. To which I'd say that IF it were an angle, it actually kinda works.
First off, it'd be totally in character for her to not be in a rush to return after finally taking a loss and losing her streak. But the bigger thing is for a "I'm not coming back" social media tease to actually work, it has to be believable. Most people who tease this you know they're full of shit because you can't envision them outside of the wrestling bubble. Not the case with Jade Cargill. Someone who looks like her should absolutely try to go Hollywood. |
I’m a bit burnt out on the “the company I work for sucks and I want out” stories. It doesn’t make anyone look good. Jade has that super-athlete “pay me, pay me, pay me” thing about her, but it doesn’t do them many favors for this to be worked. It’d be better if losing the TBS Title made Jade more humble and she teased a face turn to go against some of the assholes on the roster, tbh.
She could just be firing off at the gums following whatever synapses are shooting at the time. She strikes me as being of “that generation” that really doesn’t understand how you can be unprofessional over social media. But she could also just be like “been here, done it” about the whole thing. |
Jade could absolutely have Hollywood potential. It's not like she was some 5 star bball recruit that went to Tennessee, UConn, etc. Now look at her. Apples to oranges to cranberries but you get the gist.
|
With that note. just started the aew campaign. irritated me I had to quit out so I could turn on manual targets. that's pretty typical tho. don't play this game without manual targets turned on. I repeat...

Side tangent: I personally think the Jungle Boy heel turn was less of a plan in motion, and more a result of him being a shithead at meet & greets and such and someone suggesting he just roll with it. I think the two things were about as unrelated as the time Austin Aries walked out of TNA and people thought it was the start of some "anti-establishment" angle. Nope. He was literally just being a dick and really ditched them. And JB was like "You know what, [person suggesting]? That's a good idea. I get to do less meet & greets if the fans don't want to see me!" Back to "Jane". That is a decent point of Jade being essentially a nobody of a tier lower than most WNBA stars you couldn't name before this whole thing started, and now, within the timeframe of a presidency term, she's a global fitness postergirl even if she never takes another bump. She could have done all this in the vein of the clout chasers WWE were hot to get with their whole "all we want are young people without wrestling backgrounds anymore" mandate they were doing and possibly still has in place of some form. Could be a work, could be a shoot. She might actually have "the bug" for the business, or she used her time in AEW the same way folks parlay reality show fame. She could be acting like MJF with the strictest of kayfabery, or giving the entire game away like Ronda Rousey tends to do. I'll wait and see with her. |
The Jungle Boy heel turn is bad in conception, bad in execution and is going to be bad all-round.

Jade has nothing to bitch about... 60-0 something AEW record with a title for a year or two or whatever. LITERALLY given the FN world but absolutely not able to capitalize...
If its not an designed angle... she should quit. Because she sucks. Plenty of folks in AEW or WWE could DO A MO-FUCKING LOT with a 60-0 RECORD THAT SPANS OVER A YEAR with a Title Belt. |
Quote:
I still say "wait and see". Even literally being Girl-berg (as in, being an uninitiated rookie with minimal wrestling training given the same push that Goldberg was as an uninitiated rookie with minimal wrestling training), it's not like she's that unmitigated disaster WWE tried to push, fired, and then rehired and tried to push again in the uncoordinated mess that was "All Red Everything" Eva fucking Marie. There's enough incompetence in AEW that this could be an angle or they legit still have no real plans and will allow her to walk. Either way, her stock is up from when she started. I again say "wait and see". |

She’s still pretty damn green. 4 years experience and the last 3 plus of that has been on national TV and ppv well before she was ready. I certainly see the potential in her and think there’s more there. She doesn’t need to be an in ring savant to succeed. She’s mostly look, presence and presentation, like Britt Baker.
What she hasn’t really had in direction and good storylines to work with. She’s been mostly fed jobbers of the week. She had a pretty good match with Tay Conti last year. But I think she needs more time thinking she getting matches in off TV and given real direction when she gets back. |
Kind of a mark mentality to assume push = happiness.
|
Quote:
|
I would argue it is kind of odd that Jade didn't even sniff the higher end of the card.
|
Of course she didn't. They wanted Girlberg but didn't want to have to bury the small amount of real talent they have in the process.
|
Tony Khan just sucks at booking.
|
Jade loses the belt, becomes a bit more humble, turns her attention towards evil-doers.
|
Wish Tony Khan would book his promotion exactly to the liking of Noid.

Also, it appears AEW just got a new Health and Safety protocol. In other words, they just got a Health and Safety Protocol.

It’s called the common sense protocol. 85% of the roster is up in arms about it.

Also, if the coach says no and the talent does it anyway, because they don't listen to the coaches, who gets in trouble?

Holy shit man, the coaches are going to have to approve like 300 spots per show lol

I love Bryan as much as the next but he’s done the whole fake seizure spot repeatedly since he got cleared to return in 2018. It makes me cringe every time and not in the way that makes me think he actually got hurt. Glad they can do away with that.
|
Yeah I think those rules will help. It'll make the production less indyrific.
|
I'm actually interested to see how Mox changes with these rules. Didn't he basically leave WWE because of very similar rules and not being allowed to do all this crazy violent shit he likes to do? And now AEW is gonna have the same rules. If they box him in he might end up going right back to WWE when his contracts up. I imagine they'll throw a bag at him for another shield reunion.
|
IMO he's going to get approved whenever he asks to do shit (or at least a lot of the time). He's Tony's guy.
|
I'm sure that's the case too. I have a feeling these rules were put out for the public to try and shut up people who talk about AEW not being safe. They won't actually be applied imo. It will be business as usual and they'll just claim they approved any spot if they get questioned about it.
|
I mean there’s grounds to say it should be dealt with on a car-by-case basis. Mox wants to glue a glass bottle to his head and headbutt the apron. Fine. Dante Martin wants to take a big bump off a ladder. Not fine.
|
That or the lawsuits are starting to pile up... fans being spit on, blood flying onto fans
|
Pussies. They should have fans in certain sections sign waivers ;)
|
I heard a version of the new rules and thought “This is WDB fucking AEW on their way out.” Just because I didn’t hear the “approved by a coach” thing. It all makes sense. It’s embarrassing for them it got to a point that they’re making it a document, because you’d think this sense would be “common.” But approval by a coach means that Blood & Guts can have blood because…as advertised.
It’s just what they should have done from the start. Only Sting and Chris Jericho get to use the bat. Which no one else was doing, but sure. |
It’s a bit of a non-story actually. The only part that actually affects the talent is stuff like unnecessary risks, flips, weapon spots in underneath matches, bumps on the apron, etc.
|
It sounds haphazardly written. I haven’t read through it, but heard it recounted. Do they really forbid chair shots to the head (which isn’t en vogue anyway) then later ban unapproved chairs? Why not just require chairs be approved, then the first point becomes redundant because they could just not approve it?
|
And I heard something about hospitalization angles. Okay…but isn’t that your call? It’s not like Bear Boulder is out there taking piledrivers and forcing a stretcher out. Like wtf?
|
Give them a break. They're still figuring out how to play American Football.
|
It's just a new company finding these things as they go. Like any other company in the world top people get leeway and the rules are suited to the biases or experiences of the moment or those setting the rules.
I would imagine if anyone top of card wants to do almost anything they can same way CEOs fly business class while staff fly economy. Glad to see the Daniel Bryan spot gone though. |
AEW has been around for almost 5 years.
