Yeah it would be pretty stupid if they posted when Developmental won

WWE's 3rd show beats the company Tony Khan spends $100,000,000.00 of his dad's money on 4 times a year in ratings???

Sounds like Shad must REALLY want to keep Tony away from the real businesses :rofl:

Also, you bumping the thread with a 26 year old gif cannot be used later this week in another thread as proof that AEW gets more posts. Just an FYI ;)

Remember how stupid people thought those "Did you know" spots the WWE would run during the show like "Did you know Raw was #1 trending on twitter blah blah blah" that they used to do.

(maybe they still do those, IDK)

But that was WWE doing that on WWE TV...this is all in a forum no one cares about except a small small percentage of people.

I think they only bring it up anymore when it is #1 worldwide

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Damn.

Exactly what I've said about AEW since day 1.

Um...what? What does that have to do about what you said?

TK AND JERRY LYNN AT IMPACT!

I saw a post earlier this week with some AEW cultist saying this whole Impact/AEW collaboration was to placate the ego of Cody. I was like "wait, what?" Guy also claimed that Khan was Cody's puppet.

But that is one of the weirder things I notice: Cody will always take the heat for the shit that Omega and the Bucks actually do. And that, no matter what he does, Cody isn't gonna belong in this group.

Of the wrestlers cosplaying as execs, the only one I have more than a sliver of faith in that he knows what he's doing is Cody. By a mile.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Xrod: balancing the debate since 2020

That the overwhelming irrational love for AEW paired with the WWE hatred and fear is lame.

Goes all the way back to the AEW rally when a few aholes went to Smackdown afterwards, acting like aholes, getting kicked out, and then saying they were kicked out because they were wearing AEW gear.

Then AEW backed the story to promote how scared WWE is of AEW.

The whole situation was bullshit, there were people in that Smackdown crowd wearing AEW stuff who weren't acting like assholes, and they didn't get kicked out.

It's the same mentality that frames posts here. "OMG AEW GOT MORE REPLIES THAN WWE, IN THEIR AND YOUR FACES!".

I like the term in that tweet, Cultist, perfect description.

100000%

JANUARY 16TH, 2019. IN YOUR FACES!!! :'( BOOOOOM

The irony here is palpable.

Yeah AEW fans acting like aholes, super ironic.

It's almost like acting like an ahole for 2 years might bother people and cause them to act the same way in return :rofl:

Remember when this place was fun and we did things like the Thinking Differently threads? Now it's just who can mock each other's favorite wrestling better.

Well then.

Not in the least bit surprising that you dont understand irony or how that applies to you.

lol every time xrod tries to burn someone he exposes himself as a fucking idiot.

So basically, “wrestling company amplifies something to make themselves look good”. That’s very much dog bites man rather than man bites dog.

You do realise they’re basically trolling you with that at this point, right?

Ho... ly... fuck...

I know you get mad when I curse, xrod but sometimes there’s just no better way to react to something.

Of course, we all know AEW isn't good enough to warrant that level of marking out legitimately :rofl:

I think the irony is that I started geeking for WWE the exact same way y'all do AEW, and it annoys so much you can't help but rage :rofl:

Naw cursing is fine, cursing at somebody is my issue. No need for personal attacks, curse words or otherwise. Name Calling does not equal a good counter point.

Great song

Well that's neither ironic or factual. Do you have a better take or are you happy with using this one as your best?

Alright so we’ve figured out why this guy has been so obnoxious these past few months. He’s mad that many people on here like a thing that he doesn’t like and he feels left out. So he’s lashing out and trying to ruin it for the rest of us.

Keep it up dude. I think you’re only 5 or 6 sick homemade memes away from really opening some eyes.

Actually, if you read a bit, it's not that I dislike AEW. I dislike marking out over everything AEW because it's AEW.

I've been obnoxious posting exactly like everybody else? Somebody FINALLY gets it! This is how I have felt for 2 years, that the level of hanging on AEW's nuts is obnoxious. Since I'm doing it for WWE and against AEW instead of vice-versa, it's pissed people off FAR more than when I was just pointing out the over reactions. Mini Vans and Horses and Hands in Pockets, etc. is not as great as this brainwashed cult hypes it to be.

Everybody can keep being willfully blind when it comes to all things AEW, but man do the exact same thing against AEW and look out.

Enjoying annoying posts but then hating annoying posts without even realizing the double standard when the only difference is AEW/WWE is pretty ironic.

Since you want to make your stand on what irony is, you probably should make sure you know what you are talking about...

Socratic irony—a method of revealing an opponent’s ignorance by pretending to be ignorant yourself and mirroring behavior antithetically including asking probing questions.

:wave:

Okay so we are 100% clear that you do not understand irony and are completely unable to recognise that people dont dislike you because you hate AEW but because you are being an obnoxious arsehole. Thanks for clarifying. Are you trying to claim that you are mirroring my behaviour now and that's a gotcha and it is in fact I, an apparent AEW cultist, who is the actual ignoramus? Is this correct? Are you just clutching at straws or do you actually think you're being smart now?

Xrod just owning everybody in this thread

Didn't I just provide you the definition of irony, and how I'm just posting like a cultist to show how annoying acting like a total mark can be to other people?

What part do you not understand?

Also, why does everybody keep asking if I am trying to earn gotchas all the time? Is that another part of the forum, like reputation points? Where on the forum is that section? I want to check out how many of my attempted gotchas I've received credit for :roll:

you are very good at demonstrating how to be annoying, cumdorx

Socratic irony is, wait for it, an ironic term and it only works if you actually possess at least a modicum of intelligence in the first place. You're constantly trying to "own" people and justify your shitty posting as a philosophical experiment, maybe if you didnt keep trying and failing so hard so frequently nobody would bring it up.

These "cultists" xrod is whining about do not exist here. This is another one of those things he made up in his head so he can complain about something.

Socratic irony is a tactic used in debates. That is what this place is supposed to be, debating wrestling.

You not understanding that makes sense though.

Yeah, I made them up. If they don't exist why do I have other people agree with me. Just because you don't doesn't mean I made it up.

You know what is whining to me, a bunch of crying because somebody posted something you don't agree with REPEATEDLY.

Literally you are crying because I don't nut my pants to all things AEW. You cry and call names and stomp your feet. You react as if you can't think of anything but "waaaaah this doo doo man can't post like I want him to!"

Your noid is showing, better pull your socks up kid.

I am guessing this will be cinematic

Remember folks, if you like something, and you talk about that thing with other people who also like that thing, you’re in a cult.

Dude you’re wrong. People don’t dislike you because you’re obnoxious posting about WWE, they dislike you because they know it’s not genuine.

You don’t actually like the majority of what WWE put out because, well, you simply can’t because it’s mostly garbage. Now you might think that the majority of AEW is garbage and that, I think, is fine. But you’re not really criticising AEW, you’re disingenuously praising WWE because you don’t like AEW fanboys, of which their are very few on these boards from what I can tell.

Now, Noid does criticise the actual product but fucking hell he’s overbearing with it.

Noid doesn't even watch any of the product either. He just reads recaps on wrestling websites.

No, you are a cultist when someone says something that you liked wasnt great, and you flip the fuck out.:'(

Yeah that argument didn't work when I brought it up multiple times, that I am not just criticizing AEW for the hell of it, because if you look I also criticized stupid things about WWE shows too. Nobody ever questioned my motives in WWE threads, but criticize AEW and people jump down your throats.

I brought that up so many times, and the replies were always genius levels of retorts like "fuck you, your a dumbass, etc. " because that is all the cultist are capable of.

You want to know how bad the blinders are here, search my posts, I said multiple times I'm just posting like AEW fans do, but for WWE.

It was never some big secret. I guess it is hard to decode "I am just posting Pro WWE like AEW posts here are" between all the "xrod trying gotchas, he is so fucking stupid haha high five yeah, what a cunt".

Un Fucking Real

Yeah, dude, I’m not searching your posts. We seem to be in total agreement about what you’re doing. And actually I agree that the most obnoxious AEW “cultists” are obnoxious “cultists”. The one thing I can give them is that they actually believe what they’re saying, you on the other hand are admitting that you’re just being a pantomime.

Right, was never a secret. And I also do watch Dynamite, so I'm not hysterically antiAEW, but I am against unconditional fandom and raging against anybody who doesn't metaphorically blow AEW for any and everything.

But alas, the level of discussions here are caveman levels, so stupid memes and cheerleading is the easiest way to communicate.

If this place sucks so bad why are you still here?

Who else would tell us how shitty we are for the heinous crime of enjoying wrestling?

If I agree with this post, does that mean we’re in a cult together?

Be honest and change the forum to TPAEWW and I won't be

No, someone else would have to disagree rationally just a little bit, for example "I don't think I agree with that".

Then we would both join together in flipping out, and replying to the reply with personal attacks and swear words, while egging each other on like 4th graders, then we pretend we won.

That would be akin to Cultist behavior.

Ah yes, because I'm sure no one on the board will watch/discuss the RR or WM at all.

Can't even give an honest answer to a simple question and now he doesnt even grasp what a cult is. Truly a helpless case.

Ooh I should bump my old RR thread

Christ have you ever heard of a dictionary??

Cult - a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous. : a situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much. : a small group of very devoted supporters or fans.

Who argues what words mean this much without even bothering to check before they run their mouth?

His entire personality is based on something he made up in his head. Of course he doesn't know what words mean.

Compare this definition, which you had to look up, to your understanding of a "cult" as you attempted to explain one to Supreme and then get back to me with your next zinger you absolute master debater.

Just gonna keep this handy

I bolded the relevant parts for your benefit, and you and jumponer screech still don't get it.

a situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much.

AEW/Their Roster

a small group of very devoted supporters or fans.YEAH

Cultist

In my example, Supreme and I would be the small group, and whatever we believed in so fervently that we would personally attack a dissenter would be AEW.

I did not look up the definition for my benefit, it was for you, because you clearly have no idea what you are actually getting upset about. You are saying the actual definition of words isn't what they mean.

I don't know what Irony or Cult means, says the one who doesn't believe dictionaries are real apparently.

Topanga reveals she is a big fan of AEW


https://www.ringsidenews.com/2021/01...-aew-than-wwe/

Tells me AEW draws the young audience.

Posts a story about a 39 and a half year old liking AEW.

What is that demo we were talking about again, 18-34?

:rofl:

I had a major crush on Topanga. Gladshe's got good taste.

I too had the mega hots for Topanga when I was a lad.

Where has this happened?

So you think an obnoxious dickhead acts like an obnoxious dickhead and the only rational explanation as to why everyone else thinks he is an obnoxious dickhead is because... they are all in a cult. Incredible deductive skills.

As for your baseless counter accusations, grab your beloved dictionary and a highlighter (you might need to look this one up too, though to save you the time it has a very similar function to only bolding the parts that support your flimsy arguments) and look up this one: "projection".

It hasn't. He doesn't know what words mean. He just wants to be Noid so badly that he pretends people flip out so he can judge them for some reason. It's quite a boring gimmick.

Since I know xrod will click "View Post" to read this:

the funny thing is this is a wrestling fan site, and fan is short for fanatic, an a fanatic is a cult.

I just see it so often I figured there would be some actual merit. Seems like its all filler, no killer, unlike Sum41

I’m not saying this doesn’t happen here but can you point me in the direction of an exchange where someone has genuinely criticised AEW and been met with rage?

Like you, I'm also not searching all my old posts. Although, go look at the very first Dynamite thread. I said NXT was better, that night, and you would think I pissed in their mouths. Not that AEW sucked, not that anybody who likes it was an idiot. Just that that night NXT had a better show.

It's been that way since AEW became a thing.

I think I have blasted AEW for plenty of things in the past. Still they are by far the most satisfying company to watch right now by a long shot. Usually when I've posted here about things I've found stupid about AEW's product or booking I get a couple of agreements or even a discourse and conversation going. Blindly loving AEW because it's AEW is absolutely annoying. But any fan that would do that isn't the same kind of fan as me. I am pretty stoked for Revolution now that they have announced Sting and Darby in a Street Fight against Team Taz. That's gonna be sick.

People regularly point out things they don't like about AEW in the live tv threads. Miro's entire run and it being underwhelming and aimless gets pointed out every time he's on tv.

I don’t care for AEW much at all and still find xrod to be nonsensical with his arguments while acting like the smartest guy in the room. Maybe a cult-like pro-AEW agenda isn’t the issue here.

So I actually did. Sheds a fair bit of light on things.

Rational response.

First response to you. 200+ posts in and fairly polite.

Fan clearly being facetious.

And again. And you bite. Hard.

Fan, he’s got that facetious streak.

So this wasn’t very nice but points to some previous history of being a less than stellar poster.

Ah, so it’s not quite like you approached this show with an open mind after all?

Multiple users in “absolute uproar”? There’s like 2’guys that have said anything to you at all. One is clearly trolling you and being very successful at it. The other one called you a nasty name. And nobody reacted to anything you said in the NXT thread negative or otherwise much in the same way nobody reacted to anything you said in the AEW thread either for the first 200 posts. And also, it seems like a good chunk of the NXT thread was just you and Noid.

These interactions suggest you and your opinions were largely ignored until you went a little “harder” on the “criticism” (I use the speech marks as you actually offered very little in the way of critique one way or another). You got a reaction and you seem to have doubled down on the act a number of times. Guess it worked?

XL bringing the goddamn heat

Honestly look, I don’t want this to get confused, this isn’t me attacking xrod because he’s “anti-AEW” or because I’m “pro-AEW”, I’m pro being honest and having some decent discussion not playing ridiculous “I’m just being to WWE what you guys are to AEW” characters to an audience that aren’t even that to AEW. Seems a mental framework for conversation.

I can’t really vouch for what type of poster xrod is outside of the AEW stuff (to be fair, despite being on these boards for 20 years (fucking hell) there’s only a handful of posters (fan, Noid, Lock Jaw, Gertner) I can decipher from the pack (and, yes, I know I’m part of that pack for most people too - don’t take it as an insult)).

I was being facetious. You laid out, quite plainly, why a lot of people have issue with this "gimmick" xrod is working.

(This seems condescending now that I'm reading it again. Did not mean it that way.)

No worries, but where were you the 22 months prior to the last 2? I tried for damn near 2 years to have civil discussions, it did not go well :rofl:

And let's be honest XL, in all of those quotes, how many were me calling another user a gaping asshole or whatever the hell they said?

Half of those posts were in praise of AEW.

And 20 hand picked quotes does not prove much of anything other than exactly what I said, there was never hard criticism at AEW from me. I was certainly more critical of WWE before AEW even existed.

The entire premise that I just constantly slammed AEW is wrong, but even if I did, I still didn't insult anybody here did I? It's always been posting about wrestling from me. That is what nobody seems to grasp, and haven't for 2 years.

i have been here since 97 i used to be 6to1

:lol: I’ve been around, just not all that active. Less than 15k posts in 17 years with this account.

This is legitimately the funniest thing you have ever posted. It's an outright lie that you've admitted to yourself, but still. Hilarious!

The struggle is real Xrod

Ditto except a little less on both for me. (16yr)

I miss Smelly Meatball

Oh shit, I just noticed he hasn't been around.

What lie? 22 months trying, 2 months acting like an AEW fanboy but for WWE. That's exactly what I said. Perfect example why memes are the best way to be understood here.

xrod tried to be himself but didn’t get the proper attention. So he became a troll and turned every conversation he encountered into shit for the sake of attention. He’s the TPWW poster version of a school shooter.

Can't believe AEW has only been going for 2 months, feels like it's been a thing for years. Oh well, nobody question it, I'm sure it's accurate.

Unrelated: just noticed that #1-wwf-fan is now 2-0 in real fights. Who was the second victim?

xrod via forfeit

Damn. Do not remember that even though there's a great chance I posted about it when it happened.

2 years of AEW = 22 months of trying to have civil discussions + 2 months of me posting like a cultist for WWE.

22+2=24 months
