Oh please regret coming here. Please, please, please regret coming here.

:lol:

Maybe you are the shit?!? :eek:

I'm not sure if he'll ever be cleared to take bumps again, but Nattie posted a video of Tyson Kidd working out in a ring. Warmed my heart. I always liked TK, but I REALLY warmed up to him when he started putting his personality together in NXT. Was easily one of my favorite acts in all of wrestling.

If he could ever make a comeback, I'd be so fucking down.

WWE's booking of their main roster women's division has been a mostly a mess, especially their SD Women's division, ever since both Becky and Charlotte stepped aside for different reasons.

Steph claimed the reason for the Battle Royal is due to all the enemies Bayley has been making on all 3 brands but if that's the case then like only 3 people on NXT have any real issue with her. Two of those 3 would have a better claim if the tag belts were on the line instead.

Wouldn't even need a Battle Royal to find Bayley's next challenger had they not bungled Naomi's push and build to be her next challenger. Right now, nobody on SD looks worthy besides Nikki but she just finished up her feud with Bayley.

Your explanation is a mess. So there are 3 people on a show Bayley isn’t even on that have a problem with her? That sounds like a lot, considering she isn’t even rostered onto that show.

It’s fucking fine. It’s hollow and uninteresting. But a “mess?” Holy shit. Chill the fuck out. If having a heel champ you need to sashay a new challenger in for is a “mess,” I can’t imagine how you would describe AEW’s women’s division.

Oh wait, it’s probably “brilliant” because Dave Meltzer says it is.

Sorry to “bully you.” I know you don’t deal well with any sort of criticism. I’m genuinely not trying to be mean. But come on, man. Think for yourself.

Bill Dundee almost tricked Bobby Eaton into jacking off his dog. Fucking incredible.

What's with you thinking everything I talk about wrestling comes from or is influenced by Meltzer.

That problem with Bayley is what Steph stated on SD last night as the reason for making the upcoming Battle Royal a three-brand match instead of just focusing on SD.

WWE's main roster women's division being a mess comes from actually watching these shows the past few months and seeing WWE wasting a golden opportunity to properly build up others lower on the ladder and improve the quality of their RAW and SD divisions.

AEW Women's division is just as poorly booked because of a mix of injuries and them not getting enough quality tv time to develop into a strong division after all these months.

Because you assume his default internet position, which is not only unoriginal, but it's actually unfounded. I don't have to watch to know that the stories on SmackDown have been Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville as well as Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs. Sasha Banks & Bayley. It's a two hour show. Those are functional, if boring and shitty, stories right there. It's not a "mess." It's actually quite tidy. The messiest thing has been changing Lacey Evans' gimmick back and forth. But that's whatever, because she's the shits.

I don't know what you expect a Women's Division on a WWE show to be? How many women characters should they focus on? 16? 32? They need a new challenger now so they're setting up a new challenger. It's in the laziest way possible, but it makes "sense" strictly speaking. Bayley has been fucking around everywhere so Stephanie, who seems to have an issue with these ladies, is going to announce open season on her. How is that messy? You have a few women who matter on SmackDown, and it looks like they might be losing Sasha, so they're going to get a new one in. Big whoop.

To complain that there aren't a billion women doing round robin matches each week is pretty markish. And what would you scrap in favor of these Iron Woman matches to create an unlimited batch of women stars?

I don't give a shit what his default position is or even his views on women's wrestling which have not been that good either considering some of the recent stuff he's said.

If I'm going to discuss stuff about wrestling from watching it, its going to be based on what I've seen and not because you think all I do is just parrot him.

All I've wanted or expect for WWE's women's wrestling is something more enjoyable and entertaining than what they have been doing in general since post-Mania. NXT gives me that satisfaction for the most part but main roster leaves a ton to desire.

If you find what they are doing is entertaining then good for you. Same for anyone else as well since at least that means they are enjoying WWE and wrestling during these tough times.

"It's fucking fine" but it's also hollow and uninteresting?

If it's not interesting, it's not really fine either. It's at the very least convoluted because WWE can't stick to the simple concept of keeping the brands separate.

I've only watched Dynamite for AEW lately, so I'm not sure what's up on Dark or this tag tourney. But the women haven't really been featured much lately, have they?

(Though I guess injuries and a pandemic will force some changes everywhere.)

Just the usual segment and/or match for them which has been the case more often than not in recent times.

Injuries to some key players and the pandemic messing things and blocking out their foreign-based talent has done a number to the division's direction but even so, AEW's booking of their women's division and what they have at hand hasn't been that good.

The first night of their women's tag tournament has done a pretty good number on Youtube but no reason at all why they didn't bother just having it be on Dynamite since that would be something very meaningful for the division on tv.

If I had to compare, AEW Women's division is like NXT's tag division early into its post-seasonal era. Both were the biggest weak points of their shows and in NXT's case, took a long while for it to improve and only after they started putting some real long term effort into it.

:lol:

Smeat does not have a nuanced opinion. And his way of interpreting news is just not true. It's easy to dismiss with reason. It's great he takes the time to collate the sheets and post them. I've thanked him for that. But the commentary he shares (not even sure if his own) just doesn't make sense a lot of the time these days.

Again, not saying that to knock the guy. He's allowed to have whatever opinion he wants, but I'm going to clear up disinformation if I see it.

For anyone who doesn't feel like reading essays: It seems that Noid, who admits to not watching WWE, is trying to lecture Smeat, who watches every week, on how the product is shitty. But also it's not shitty because it's fucking fine.

Also something something Dave Meltzer, I don't know.

Is that giant ninja still around on RAW? I can't remember if he made the Hulu cut last week. That guy is awesome.

https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-cont...nt-ninja-8.jpg

Giant Ninja was Shane's bodyguard for about 10 seconds on RAW this week.

That's good he was there

AEW drove me to watch more highlights, just to do a compare and contrast. Watching every week doesn’t mean you know more. The content is largely shitty in execution, but some of the ideas aren’t shit in conception. There are also realities about their business model that internet smarks have trouble gripping or deliberately ignore.

How the AEW/NXT “war” has been presented has been a big tipping point for me. So much misreading and projecting contrary to reason. Which, by the way, no one argues with me on. BigCrippyZ calls me a cocksucker and Smeat cries when I point out something he has shared is just obviously and blatantly wrong. But no one actually gets in and discusses the points, because they know I’m right.

People just like the hardcore fan narrative of the WWE is evil, dying and bad. There are truths in there without saying things like the SmackDowm Women’s Division is a mess. It’s being built around Bayley right now. That is its entire purpose. Whatever Smeat is going on about — a failure to create other contenders or whatever — is honestly fucking markish. It’s a one-woman vehicle right now, with Mandy Rose and Sonya’s stupid drama being the other emphasis. Am I wrong about that?

Yes, exactly that

From what I gather on TPWW now regarding AEW, there’s a few types of posters

- you’ve got a handful of people who watch and comment regularly and enjoy the show. These posters are enjoying the show and the product for the most part, without going overboard. This is the likes of Smeat, silk, Triple A (who hates the audio) and some others
- then there’s posters like myself who have been watching and dip in and out of the forum here and there cause they’re not really bothered about wrestling much any more but catch the occasional bit. This would include myself, Screech and Supreme and prob some others. I dunno.
- then there’s literally Noid on his own, posting more about AEW than the people who are actually watching it. Spending so much time posting on a wrestling forum about how he hates this particular wrestling show. It’s quite weird. I saw him post something about all wrestling fans being “neckbeards” the other day or something. From an outside perspective (Someone not posting regularly, but occasionally checking in) he 100% comes across as more of a “neckbeard” or virgin/loser/gimp whatever than anyone else on the forum lol. He’s become Kane Knight.

Also lol I also saw Screech said something about him quitting the forum because people on the forum were Alexa Bliss fans

ALSO ALSO if Rastafarianman is anyone other than Heyman I am renouncing my membership at The PWW

Cool I'm on Team...TripleSmeatSilk!?!

super black ninja vs the whole group that took over raw in a handicap match

Wahhhhh, why doesn’t Noid stop making us feel bad. Wahhhhh.

Fucking pussies.

No, it’s what these boards warrant. Does anyone have a fucking thought in their head here? Gertner and Destor discuss old wrestling and are great. #1-wwf-fan is smart and tries to add to discussion. Everyone else is so fucking stupid and whiny though. You guys barely even talk about wrestling — you’re more hung up on me and what I think.

If you don’t like it, fucking argue a point. But that’s too hard for the fucking cretins left here. All they’ve got is “Lol Noid spends a lot of time talking about wrestling on a wrestling board.” No fucking shit. That’s what it’s here for, fuckwits.

I barely read your posts. I want interesting discussion, not a troll’s half-baked attempts to sound coherent between attempts to bait me. Come on, dude. Try better.

lol "this show I don't watch is awful, here's 7 paragraphs explaining why no one should enjoy it" is not discussion. It's the forum version of speaking to hear your own voice.

You engage with #1-wwf-fan because he has agreed with you. Anyone who doesn't gets the "well you're just a loser who likes this show I hate so you're not worth my time" routine.

People discuss the current product, good or bad, as they watch it. You complain about it after reading results & watching clips of segments

Just remembered I haven't watched SD yet. I hope that "Jeff Hardy is a junkie" angle is actually over. I get that real life shit makes better stories, but that one just didn't hit with me.

Interested to see if this Chad Gable as King Corbin's hired gun continues. Not a big fan of Corbin (he's just not for me) but Gable is great and I want him to have an actual thing to do.

I wish the giant ninja guy was on SD too

After watching SD with the Retribution stuff, I wish even more that they had the giant ninja.

Ninjas make everything cool.

I love these forums so much :heart:

Giant ninja swinging a chainsaw would've been 100% better!

Right? No one is going to fuck with a giant ninja swinging a chainsaw!

I had to post this on my facebook, without context. Because it is an incredible statement that stands on its own.

I lean much more towards AEW failing at being the alternative we need in wrestling than I do toward it being very good. But on the Noid vs everyone argument I find myself siding with “everyone” because Noid tends to take it too far. Like... he seems to find bad reasons to shit on AEW when there are plenty of GOOD reasons. He’s not nearly as bad as xrod when it comes to that. But he posts more and he’s more popular so he gets shit on more for it.

Anyway, I think the fact that I’m the overall voice of reason on TPWW is why I’m able to engage with Noid despite not being “Team Noid”.

I mean there are definitely problems with AEW, and I think lots of people here who watch it will admit to that. Part of the...fervor? sure, is WWE burnout and at least it's SOMETHING even if it isn't perfect.

You are 1-0 in real TPWW fights, so of course you're able to engage.

lol happy to help!

Someone check on Cornette

Good for the NWA since out of the notable big promotions in the US, they were suffering the most money-wise from the coronavirus pandemic.

That is good news for once!

Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is the biggest winner out of that deal since they are a member of United Wrestling Network and now are going to be working on two notable wrestling television series at the same time.

Weekly PPVs are not a good idea. Progress is progress, but they need to beef up a bit.

Worked okay in the past.

Someone is taking this serious...

Too bad its going to go to shit when Lesnar ruins it :(

When?

Add HBO to the pile of networks that have made recent changes in regards to their TV sports divisions.

Link: https://awfulannouncing.com/hbo/hbo-...-division.html

Since FOX dropped a bunch of sports and wrestling-related programming for FS1, NBC, TNT, BeIN Sports, and now HBO all have had big shakeups associated with their sports (and wrestling) divisions during this on-going pandemic.

That happened last week when it was 1st introduced.

The underground stuff would be interesting if the presentation wasn’t shit.

They need maybe 2 cameras and a shit ton fewer cuts.

Oh..... please let this happen.

He just got raided by the FBI....the hell?

That'd be Jake Paul.

Meh.

Both NXT and and AEW ran their last shows in front of normal audiences on March 11th, which was a "shit's getting real" moment for the US as the NBA shut everything down over Rudy Gobert's positive test and the other leagues all followed suit the next day.

AEW had run 23 Dynamites prior to that, skipping a week for Christmas. The August 26th Dynamite (which will air the next day) will mark the point where they've had more COVID-impacted episodes than regular ones.

Since NXT went on the USA Network, they had run 26 episodes with one of them being a clip show at New Years. Right after the pandemic, the first two episodes were also clip shows and the September 16th episode, two days before their one year anniversary on USA, would be their tipping point of having more COVID-impacted episodes.

How long until Dean gets bored and gives it back to them?

Apparently in Mexico there is a wrestler currently named Coronavirus who works as a heel.

Also from the same Observer Newsletter issue, Meltzer speculated that TNT/HBO could be a potential home for The Rock's XFL due to The Rock's connections with the new boss of WarnerMedia's TV division.

Or it could go to NBC due to The Rock’s connections there. Or keep its deals with FOX and ABC.

XFL's tv deals with FOX and ABC ended when they filed for bankruptcy I think.

Based on a quick search, seems ESPN isn't that interested in signing a new deal which likely also means ABC is out. FOX seems to still be interested but recent rumors hinted they won't be as generous as before for a new potential deal.

Even with the Rock's name behind the league, going to be a hard sell to get a real good deal since the league already has failed twice.

Regardless of if it would have failed or not, it's hard to not point out the virus as a big factor there.

True but even without the virus, ratings for games started falling hard shortly into the season.

Unlike the first XFL, FOX and ESPN/ABC weren't going to pull the plug on their end of the deal as quickly as NBC did back in the day but XFL probably would have lasted like 2 seasons at most had things continued the way they were trending.

Even The Rock's Titan Games series had a bit of a worrying issue pop up right at the end of its recent season. Season finales usually end up being the highest or second highest of a season but the recent season finale of his show ended up being the second least watched episode instead.

Yeah, but we did have the virus. If we lived in a parallel universe where they did cancel the XFL for AEW-level ratings, you could say that.

They were heading in that direction pre-pandemic since the revival season was already in AEW/NXT viewership range when it stopped.

After the first month, sports reports were starting to pop up seriously questioning if the league could even last beyond a 2nd season.

Yeah, but it didn't get to that point. It just didn't happen.

That doesn't change the fact that the Rock is going to have a tough time trying to get a good tv deal for the XFL considering ESPN and FOX are not as open arms as they were before and Vince damaging the brand's image with the antics he pulled off.

Rock's group already stated they are not interested in losing a ton of money to restart the league which is going to handicap the potential and chances of a second revival. Even Vince ended up bluffing when he claimed to be committed for the long term and willing to lose several hundred millions of dollars early on.

None of that Vince stuff has anything to do with The Rock's ownership. His strategy may not be shock and awe, but he might also get a great TV deal out the gate. You just don't know with the demand for live entertainment, especially post-pandemic and with new ownership.

It does when it comes to people getting soured on the brand's name and why XFL only had one real bidder for the league when it came to actual deals on the table.

Rock probably could have gotten the league for even cheaper if it actually went to auction based on the low real interest for it.

ESPN released a statement when the league was getting close to the auction date saying they don't have any interest in the league if Vince isn't running it anymore.

Evil Uno is currently streaming with newLegacy for 12 hours in their annual fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.

That doesn't sound very Evil

depends on your definition of the word Evil.

Hope they pull the trigger and have Asuka win both belts. It would be a cool moment for her, and would set up a feud with Charlotte for when she comes back.

Seems Velveteen Dream has serious heat backstage in NXT although less on something he actually did recently and more on WWE's dumb decision to bring him back following the wave of accusations that swept through the wrestling industry.

Considering Sean Ross Sapp mentioned before that the chatter within the company following his recent allegations and car accident he caused was one of him being released soon, someone(s) higher up must have thought everyone would just forget and sweep the whole thing under the rug.

No, it doesn’t. That’s you projecting your feelings onto something to make what Dave says more credible. The Rock probably knows studio heads all over the place. It probably doesn’t matter if he does or not. The business decision of putting on The Rock’s football league will be based upon whether or not a network sees value in putting on The Rock’s football league.

Or it was just bullshit being reported.

How is the stuff about Dream bullshit when that's been an issue with him for the past several years.

WWE's fired people for way less than what's been told about Dream over the years, both stuff he's actually done and stuff he's been accused of.

And what's with you always resorting back to the Meltzer card whenever you take offense to something I post. The stuff about XFL's damaged image within the sports world and FOX & ESPN being not as open arms for XFL under new ownership didn't even come from him. Meltzer wasn't even the only one to report on the lack of real bidders for the league. Even Rock's name value and co-ownership raised doubts elsewhere of him actually being able to get a good tv deal for the league.

Vince must love Dream and have big plans for him if he's still around after some of his shit.

Either him or Triple H considering NXT and developmental is mainly in Triple H's realm of control.

Not the first time Triple H has defended troubled people with running accusations in the company since he was the biggest supporter of Bill Demott during Demott's time in charge of developmental that got plagued with accusations near the end. Before that, it was him defending a member of the company's staff who allegedly made slurs against Del Rio and Ricardo when both were in the company although supposedly that was more due to that guy threatened to sue the company if he was fired.

Already some speculations WWE won't do anything to Jordan Devlin either despite him being among those accused from WWE that had the strongest allegations and evidence against him. Out of the notable 5 names that had the bulk of the accusations or evidence against them, seems him, Riddle, and Dream might remain unscathed while El Ligerio and Gallagher took the brunt of WWE's punishments.

Hayabusa's FMW theme is possibly the greatest Wrestling Theme ever.

Is it the sound of a bag of vertebrae being smacked against a stone step for three minutes?

His "darkside" theme was great too.
