FMW themes in general were really good

Complete wtf...

Alright. Which one of you tried to kidnap Sonya DeVille?

Is that dudes head photo shopped on ? That thing is fucking massive.

He looks like an NBA Jam character.

Apparently the DLC roster for the upcoming WWE Battlegrounds game is almost as large as the launch day roster.

Full roster available at launch:

Planned DLC roster:

Who the fuck is paying for Curtis Axel dlc?

Gertner will, just for the theme song.

"Dream is about to get fired."

*Dream doesn't get fired.*

How can you not see how this is bullshit? The WWE obviously wants to use him. Hence why they are using him. The stories about the WWE trying to distance themselves from him were bullshit. How do I know? Because of what is actually happening.

No, I would argue with Smeat if he said "The world is a cube" just because Meltzer said it was. Then when people show him a photo of it being round, him going "Hmm, I guess they changed their minds on it being a cube."

No one here to give Peyton Royce her props...damn.

Wouldn't be surprised if they just stuck him with whatever DLC pack will have Mr Perfect. The modern roster for DLC looks pretty weak compared to the modern launch roster although the classic DLC roster looks better than the classic launch one.

DLC roster is probably going to cost the same as the game itself and maybe even more if they don't do 4 packs at $10 each.

Which theme is it?

Legit question, since it could either be Real American, Reborn, or Battlescars... and different people would buy it for different songs.

I hope this evolves to something like the wrestling equivalent of the "Wilhelm scream", and the guy he shoved does the same thing several years from now when HE's a star, and it keeps perpetuating.

Greatest theme that nobody talks about

It seems to be half-remake of Mr. Perfect’s theme and half-shitty filler.

The greatest theme that nobody talks about is in fact Deuce ‘n’ Domino’s theme.

Typical AEW fan.

This made me chuckle.

Revealed as a member of RETRIBUTION.

According to Triple H, the reason why Velveteen Dream was brought back to NXT television was due to WWE not finding anything during their investigation of him.

Considering one of his accusers stated that he was never contacted for any investigation, WWE pretty much swept another one of Dream's problems under the rug.

I still don't think anyone has a better spear, and the sell was really good.

Nothing tops Kwee Wee

Haven't clicked on the link but if he's talking about the same MJF & Rock quote that was floating around yesterday on r/SquaredCircle and on social media by Rovert, that got debunked as being a made up one.

Also :lol: at the Meltzer picture.

Meltzer has become such a complete shill that people aren't surprised when those quotes are attributed to him. He's jumped the shark.

I just liked the picture

According to Goldberg, his current deal with WWE lasts till 2023 and includes two matches per year as part of the terms.

Haha

That actually sounds like a fun episode.

How is she remotely a loss?

I love Renee, but I don't know that I'd call her leaving a big loss.

She did sports shows before WWE, right?

She was a good broadcaster.

She got taken off Raw because she was terrible.

Yeah she was on The Score here in Canada

Wow she is going full AJ Lee. It's always a a great example for women that you can work really hard to succeed, and then give it all up once you find a man just because he couldn't cut it anymore.

Hope she likes having to kiss Brandy's unqualified ass.

I'm willing to bet she's done with wrestling.

No chance, she will take Tony's money and talk about how it is such a better place to work, just like every other person in that company.

And it's no loss to WWE, Charly Caruso is better than Renee anyways.

To be honest, despite AEW's flaws, it probably is a more fun place to work.

Which PeeWee Herman movie is that?

It probably is a better place to work.

If only I got that job at The Score, she would have never left Canada

lol what the fuck is this post?

She was a terrible announcer, but good at Talking Smack and backstage.

I could see Renee working for NJPW. I know, not likely but I am predicting it.

Yeah for sure. She was only going to be on those C-D level shows, so I get why she's leaving

Wonder if her leaving is related to WWE's rumored plans for Talking Smack's revival.

Like she recently found out she wasn't going to involved for it's revival and lost whatever interest she had left in the company.

Within the past few months, she lost WWE Backstage which she seemed to have been very fond of and took some backstage heat for going public with having coronavirus and potentially infecting others.

I’m not sure it’s fair to judge anyone’s commentary in WWE. It’s so controlled and micro managed these days.

Corey Graves arguing like some autistic kid having a fit didn't help matters.

For as bad and/or dull Cole has been on RAW commentary most of the time, not even he was as atrocious and annoying as Graves was on commentary for 3-man booths.

Renee probably would have had a better chance to learn and improve had she been with just Cole on RAW commentary or with a different commentary team that didn't have Graves.

Graves was insufferable when paired with Saxton or Renee.

Is it hard to understand? The 2 woman loved their job, until their husbands didnt.

According to Fightful, Buff Bagwell was involved in a car accident earlier this week and suffered serious injuries.

Link to the report: https://www.cobbcounty.org/public-sa...u_Wm6-maOYPBac

Dude has suffered a lot of horrific injuries.

Worse medical staff i have ever seen when my mom spent about 4 days there after getting her gallbladder removed.

It's a hefty assumption. How do you know she's leaving because of her husband, and not because the company keeps taking away the shows she is very good at hosting? Or because she wants a break to spend time with family? Or, as Gertner suggested, she could just be done with rasslin.

Guess it will depend on what she does next.

Case in point. Graves was pretty decent on NXT. It wasn’t until he came to the main roster that he became unbearable.

most of WWE's problems come down to Vince's inability to be subtle.

First the micropenis, now this.

I don’t think it will. I think you’ve committed to being a fucking idiot and regardless of what she does you’re gonna turn it into a really dumb AEW post. I know I’m being a big meanie by calling you a fucking idiot but I’m only basing that assessment on literally every single post you’ve ever made and nothing else.

Seriously, when anyone questions why I still like Noid despite his desperate AEW hate, just check out THIS dipshit’s desperate AEW hate. There’s always something more dipshitty.

I dunno. Maybe I’m just a softie at my old age.

Lol just saw this today. Love Waylon Mercy getting a face pop and the "Kill The Clown" chants

.

Yeah considering your first post in response to Renee leaving was a weird, unprompted jab at AEW, I'm gonna agree with fan here. Your mind seems made up about this.

Maybe you are just an unhappy person. You can't make an intelligent discussion on any topic, you just come in here with insults and cuss words. That does not make you right, it makes you sound like a child having a tantrum.

There is no AEW hate here. In the situation of Renee Young, where she made her name reporting on WWE in Canada, where she stated many times over the years that WWE was her dream job, then it is dumb that just because her husband is bitter with WWE because he failed when given a chance to be a top star, should not make her give up the job she worked for.

In fact, my biggest point was that she is now like AJ Lee, who worked hard to work for WWE, who loved WWE so much that she tattooed the date she won championships on her neck, only to walk away because her husband was bitter with WWE, which by the way, has nothing whatsoever to do with hating on AEW.

In fact, if it was not for such dedicated angry AEW chest beaters like you, I wouldn't give AEW much thought outside of the few hours they are on TV.

Oh I see, I called Brandy Rhodes unqualified. That is what got your panties in a bunch?? Because there has been ZERO reports of Brandy being bad at her job.

I guess that means to you all that I was saying all this hidden context about AEW, but FYI, Brandy can be unqualified without meaning anything about AEW.

And you talk about me randomly bringing AEW up...

Jesus XRod, jut take the criticism and self reflect like a normal fucking person.

I'd be shocked if Renee worked in wrestling again...not everything is about rasslin...

Renee is a good host/interviewer. As far as rasslin she's probably the best they had in that sense since Mean Gene. And like Gene commentary was not her thing. I assume she'll end up w/ Fox Sports or ESPN in some capacity.

I feel like she was deliberately stunted in commentary.

And I'm sure there's some other shoes waiting to fall.

naturally, they shoehorned her into a position she wasn't fit for.

Why are you stuck on the point that Renee is giving up her job because her husband left the company? Where is this being reported or even hinted? The comparison to Punk and A.J. Lee doesn't fit here.

People can leave jobs for several reasons. Maybe she didn't feel safe going to work anymore because not everyone wore a mask. Maybe she's done with the business or has another project in the works.

You assumed Renee was leaving because of her husband, then took a weird shot at AEW for some reason, then whined when you were called on both of those things. No one is "out to get you." We just respond to the dumb shit you say.

lolwhat
 

You literally brought up AEW re: Renee leaving before anyone else:

Another thing to consider - I don't know if Renee and Mox want kids but she turns 35 in a month. While women on average are having kids later than many of our parents' generation did....a lot of women still view mid to late 30s as now or never time.

Could well just be that she'd like to focus on being a mom and do some side projects in the interim.

Oh, look. Mr. Intelligent Conversation is reverting back to calling non-AEW fans “AEW chest beaters”. I’m getting déjà vu.

It's really weird how so many people crap all over AEW while continuing to watch every episode of Dynamite.

Hey not bad, you made an entire post without cussing, and you even got in a proper dose of sarcasm. You might have hope yet.

dude

Screech quoting actual posts that prove his point like some AEW chest beating, Omega fanboy Meltzer sheep.

I'm sorry, but cussing =/= bad post. We aren't in an official debate. Stop trying to dictate rules of discourse because you're getting accurately called out on how terrible of a poster you are.

In fact, I think the LACK of a well-placed “fuck” brings down the quality of most posts. But that’s just my opinion.

Man. Who the fuck do I think I am?

X-Rod has gone beyond parody.

AJ Lee retired due to a spine injury. Punk left in Jan of 2014. Lee left after WrestleMania in 2015. Almost a year and a half later,

Seems a good time to remind people that I got blocked on Twitter by CM Punk for saying AJ Lee looks like Gilbert Gottfried

Like, just the fact that I know he has seen and acknowledged that tweet, and that occasionally he may look at her while just hanging out, it could pop into his head “hmm, at this angle she really DOES look like Gilbert Gottfried”

Looking like Gilbert Gottfried is somehow an improvement to sounding like Gilbert Gottfried.

That's a dick thing to do, but it's kind of amazing.

Good job at completely dodging the point he made, which is what you do every single time someone makes a good counterpoint to your argument.

And you have the nerve to talk about "intelligent conversataion"

xrod was right all along. I can admit that like a big boy. A lot of people here think of themselves as really "logical," but it's basically a dog pile of reaffirmation. Sometimes it's fun to exaggerate and go to town on AEW because a bunch of you get upset, but the general sentiment is the truth, and that stings people the most.

AEW is bad wrestling. Argue against that point. No one does. They just say things like "I think AEW sucks too, but I think you're a wanker and yadda, yadda, yadda." I'm getting real sick of the "Why not let people enjoy AEW if that's what they enjoy?" straw-man. Sure, go and enjoy bad wrestling.

I was a fucking idiot to be optimistic about AEW. Wrestling just needs to go dark. Let people miss the good shit.

Current rumor going around the net is that Shane McMahon might be replacing Bruce Prichard as the new lead writer of RAW.

Prichard supposedly wants to lessen his workload since its gotten too much for him to handle.

You desperately want people who completely agree that AEW is bad wrestling to argue against the statement “AEW is bad wrestling”. That’s xrod logic. At least you admit to trolling. I think xrod is just REEEEEEALLY fucking dumb.

I don't want people to agree or disagree, really. It's on them what they do.

xrod isn't dumb. I do agree that he takes it in some weird places sometimes (sorry, rod), but I completely understand the frustration with the fandom.
