Apparently spoilers for the 60-minute Iron Man match on tonight's episode of NXT have been leaked via PWI and the finish is going to be one of the dumbest ever in WWE/NXT history.
|
I saw that, it sounds pretty dumb.
Good ol bait and switch, fans favorite type of booking. |
Outside of the women's division booking which generally has been handled very well for the most part, it does feel like NXT just books things week to week these days. Its not Vince McMahon level of badness but Triple H's plans to improve ratings and direction has been leaning more towards Vince's mindset for shows.
Ever since they went to USA Network, more of main roster bad habits with creative and booking have been gradually seeping into NXT Creative. |

I'd say a mix of that and them losing their long term booking flexibility by switching from a monthly taped schedule to a weekly one.
Being in a war with AEW hasn't helped either since a lot of their booking has felt a lot more reactionary. Its also why they've been constantly tossing out TakeOver quality matches and title matches with little to no build to spike ratings and try to drive interest away from AEW. In terms of the wrestling itself, the quality has mostly remained unchanged but another negative aspect has been popping up these past few years. The brand used to be a nice mix of developmental and indie stars getting the spotlight treatment but in recent years, NXT has leaned heavily towards pre-made indie stars getting the real focus and spotlight. John Pollock mentioned earlier in the year how recent TakeOver events barely have anyone from WWE's actual developmental system on the cards. |

For a 60-minute 4-way Iron Man match that's a pretty terrible finish in store for tonight's NXT show.
Half of tonight's NXT is going to be just that match and the other half probably is going to be heavier on the commercial breaks side depending on how breaks are handled for the Iron Man match. |

According to WrestleVotes, this was the other plan being considered for tonight's NXT title Iron Man match.

There's nothing wrong with a non-finish in wrestling. Internet wrestling fans are the fucking worst. Bunch of marks who don't even know that they are marks/resent the idea and look down on other marks.

I do my best not to attack other posters personally, but if you can't understand that when I write Dave Meltzer or AEW as a whole that it doesn't mean the 12 other posters on TPWW, that means you are the simpleton. Seriously. |

I made the previous text BOLD FOR you. Again, doesn't say anything about you, other than your lack of ability to understand previous paragraphs lead to the following paragraphs, and they are connected in the overall point. |
This is not difficult
Holy shit, dude. I was responding to a specific statement you made that lines up with many of your posts re: AEW vs. WWE, and you're coming at me with unrelated essays as a "gotcha." Not even talking about your odd obsession with Meltzer.
My point was that you spend a lot of time criticizing AEW for weird reasons, then get super defensive when this is brought up to you. I'm not sure how much more clear I can be. |
Pepsi Clear, maybe

I had a Crystal Pepsi not long ago. I did not enjoy it like I thought I would.

You asked me to quote where YOU or anybody else here said what I said Meltzer/AEW continually spew. Quote:
I cannot defend a position that I did not make anywhere but in your poor interpretation of something I posted about that AEW says in interviews/podcasts/promos/tweets etc. I will tell you what, link me to the podcast interview where you as a representative of AEW have an interview, and I'll listen to it in full, and if I am wrong that you, as a representative of AEW, did not actually go out of your way to say anything related to WWE being bad, and AEW being good, then I will go right ahead and apologize and never make another post at TPWW. I am eagerly awaiting. I am sure your response will be brilliant. |
Fucking hell
Why is this so hard for you? You said this
Quote:
I did not ask about your weird Dave Meltzer fixation, or whatever else you went on about. I asked about one specific point that you made. I cannot make this any easier for you. |
XRod just doesn't know when to bow out. When pretty much 100% of the people responding think you're wrong - and also a total fucking dillweed - you should probably take a chill pill. Too proud to back down, when it's what would put an end to all of this idiocy.

so would crystal meth, as sixx said :)

It has absoFUCKINGlutely nothing to do with you. Just because I am responding to you doesn't mean it is about you, it means I am trying to tell you for the 80th time... IT Quote:

What about the meltzer sheep. Are they sheep in the demos or no?

Quote:
I mean, you have dumped on people who like AEW for really weird reasons, but I suppose IN THIS CASE you were [again] oddly fixated on Meltzer. |
|
The Meltzer shit is weird, though. You clearly don't like what he has to say ever. Why bother read it? Seems like you're riling yourself up for no real benefit.

Man, that's fantastic. You can't handle direct questions based on your own bullshit quoted to you, so you tout this as a win to paint me as some kind of "villain." Amazing. |

That was being reported/hinted at days after it happened. Not surprising at all.

You are happy I Quote:
But that makes me the dunce? At least call me a dunce for the right reason, such as I am a big enough dunce to try and explain something so simple to you for 2 days. Thanks for understanding, eventually. |
lol I asked you a direct question with a direct quote from you and you responded with multiple essays that didn't answer it. Don't try to sound smart now that you've been called on being too dumb to decipher your own words.

Seems WWE might be the first one to blink in the Wednesday Night War since WrestleVotes reported WWE officials have had recent talks over the idea of moving NXT to a different night due to the viewership and rankings bumps its been getting in recent weeks.

Yeah nobody else really came close to him in regards to covering women's wrestling in general.
He was also the biggest insider in regards to NXT news. Like he was the person who had been hinting for years that Velveteen Dream had some really serious issues going on that NXT officials were refusing to handle. Also was the person who broke the news of pay issues going on at NXT at the time that led to a good chunk of NXT talent wanting out of their deals. |
Quote:
I get that people are biased and hungry for any alternative, but the AEW apologetics are just fucking stupid. They do the exact same shit as WWE and get a pass, which, again, I get, but it is fun to point out. Wrestling is fucking stagnant as hell on all fronts. The silver-lining I am perhaps willing myself to believe is that if/when good wrestling hits, it is going to blow everything else out of the water. The money is there in TV, it just needs someone to see how barren the landscape is. Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey being free agents in April 2021 is something to watch. If they both end up re-signing with the WWE...well, that is what it is. But I've still got this hankering that something big might be on the horizon. |
There's soooo many alternatives to WWE and AEW.
I went the extreme route and just watch old stuff. Much happier than hate watching current stuff. |
Any specific promotion for classic wrestling or just whatever you feel in the mood for watching that day?
|
I have my massive WWF house show collection which I watch quite a bit. I've got stuff that I added two years ago that I still haven't found the time to watch.
80's Memphis Wrestling is so much fun and a regular go to. Continental Wrestling is also a ton of fun. 82-85 Mid South Wrestling is also great. AWA is boring as shit. Their weekly t.v even prior to the ESPN deal was just so bleh. |
There's so much footage on YouTube that people have no idea about. It just requires some exploring.
If you're looking for stuff outside the WWF I would start with Memphis I LOVE Memphis. |

While not as far back in wrestling time, I've been thinking for a long while to start watching WCW Nitro from its start to end. Since I was mainly a WWF guy at the time, never had any real interest until very recently in watching the pre-nWo era of Nitro and most of Nitro's late era stuff I missed out on back then. Just haven't figured out yet where in my weekly watching schedule to pencil in the time for Nitro or if I want to actually drop RAW or Smackdown for it. |
I’ve been watching Mid Atlantic episodes on the WWE network lately.
|
Also some of the mid south stuff. I love Ernie Ladd on commentary.

It's so much fun. It's the one promotion where I can just watch a random show and enjoy it immensely without knowing what's going on. Wild and crazy show. Stuff like this for example. So much fun. Lance Russell was so great.

Loved this. I watched that show many years ago over the course of a week. Couple hours a sitting. It was a great show, but holy fuck you could not pay me to watch it in one sitting. |
Apparently AJ Styles was among those in WWE who tested positive for the coronavirus during last month's outbreak at the Performance Center.

I can see them having fans by WM but no way they'll have it at SoFi Stadium. |

It's better for everyone if they're on separate nights. With DVR (and NXT originally being an exclusive to WWE Network), "ratings wars" are kinda obsolete. Plus if rasslin fans want to watch, they will - it just may not be while the show airs.
Someone on Twitter suggested NXT move to Thursdays because of Impact on Tuesdays. Not gonna lie, I completely forgot which night Impact aired. |
Quote:

WWE are not going to want Dynamite to go unopposed if it’s a night they could run. AEW doing “fine” outside it’s is usual slot is not necessarily a great thing. Networks thinking wrestling fans will follow this (and them possibly being right) is carte blanche for them to do what they want.
I can see TNT moving Dynamite to a Thursday and then WWE counterprogramming that too. |
|
Wow wait wtf shit huh??
|
well, time to go bleach my eyes

Quote:
Outside of Saturday, no other date would make sense to move AEW since they'd either be looking at seasonal preemption due to NBA (Tues & Thurs), direct competition from WWE's main shows (Mon & Fri plus some Sun), or direct competition from NFL (Mon, Thurs, Sun). Wednesday is still the ideal day between the two since its the stronger night for ratings. |

Sting, Hogan, and Flair would be in my list but would need more time to really decide on the other two. Currently leaning towards DDP and Goldberg as my choices for the other spots. |
Seems WWE went nuclear on their talent being allowed to have Twitch channels and other third party accounts on the side. A bunch of WWE talent owned Twitch channels got taken down today.
Wouldn't be surprised if this was all AJ Styles fault since he mentions a lot of stuff during his Twitch streams that WWE would probably wished would be kept private instead like outing the beef he had with Heyman and him testing positive for the coronavirus. Quote:

Wtf...AJ had an awesome stream!

Vince needs to eat a dick, theyre supposodly "independent contractors" so what they do in their own time has fuck all to do with him.
Unless he wants to call them employees, if so I hope he has a few hundred million in cash sitting around on standby. Mad old cunt. |
Seems the part of WWE going as far as trying to claim ownership of their talent's real names for outside stuff while under contract wasn't correct based on another update from Fightful but everything else in WrestlingInc's original report was true.
Also some talent within WWE were okay with the company's recent power move based on those Fightful talked to. |
Vince thinks he’s one step away from legitimately owning them

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just a little reference on how lucrative Twitch is for some of them: Paige had about 15K concurrent subscribers.

Using $45k as a basis, Vince's new edict would cost Paige around $540k for a year's worth of extra pay on the side just from Twitch. |

The twitch/tiktok/cameo thing is so shitty
I'm sure it is all about $$$, not the content Vince sees talent getting $ that he doesn't have a cut of, freaks out and fucks a lot of them over. I wonder if this ends Asuka's YT channel too. |

I'd be furious if my job classified me as an independent contractor while not allowing me to work elsewhere (rasslin or otherwise) to make money, and without giving me health insurance.
