He’s fucking annoying and all he does is bitch and moan about a product he claims not to watch but can’t stop talking about and insult others for either liking the product or discussing things read in the dirt sheets. Damn near every quote tweet of his falls into those categories. I’m surprised more people haven’t muted him at this point.

No. He’s being a complete dickhead about it. If he did that in person he would either get asked/told/forced to leave or punched out. It is the internet though, so he can really do whatever he wants without repercussion.. as long as he has thick skin. There is a way to debate/discuss. This is being a cocksucker just for the sake of it.

I’m a football fan. I don’t like the CFL. I’m not going to a big fans CFL party and talking about how shit it is. Not the most astute example but you get what I mean.

Plus he’s just condescending in general. Who the fuck wants to hang around or discuss anything with that guy?

i feel as though i am on the verge of finally accepting, through utter shame and disgust with my own tastes as revealed to me by this diaper boy's sanctimonious rasslin rants, that i have been the idiot all along.

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT DEAR JESUS

And this is good debate? I present my cases and no one can do anything but insult *me*. I do take jabs when people are credulous or illogical, but no one has a fucking answer for my takes. They just call me names and say I’m trying to ruin their fun.

Discussing wrestling is fun for me. More fun than actually watching the current shit. I’m wrestling obsessed, but even that has worn thin and I’m actually upset by it. It’s closure I never wanted to reach.

Where is this vitriol for people who don’t like WWE? It stopped existing post 2016 when I said Alexa Bliss was the shits and people attacked me for that. Welly, welly, welly.

People are allowed to not think what you think. People can enjoy AEW if they want. I point out why it is bad and not helping wrestling in the way people say it is. Then I get attacked and am told that I cannot discuss/debate while no one has an argument for what I say. Ever. Ironically, you folk are the ones that try to shut down my good time. Only you can’t do it with anything other than ad hominem.

Try harder. Be better.

Noid is just misunderstood. He means well.

Man Noid's been doing the same shit for years now. Hope life gets better for you to the point where you might be able to enjoy something.

Don't get why anyone engages with noid about AEW at this point. He's just going to be a giant bitch about it. He lost the ability to have real discussions years ago.

All he is good for now is a little entertainment if you need to blow off some steam.

TPWW is way better with Noid on ignore. He used to be a good poster but it’s gotta be at least 5 or 6 years in the rear view mirror at this point. Now all he does is get mad that people like something he doesn’t like and try to ruin everyone’s fun. Sad.

Lol at people regurgitating the same bullshit talking points. I’m not the one that cannot have a discussion. Don’t you think it might be the people just waving away anything I say without actually responding to it are the ones with the difficulty there? Hmm.

The problem is that some people can’t handle being challenged. Everyone says they can and that they do. But when they actually have the reasoning behind their thinking questioned, they get defensive and insecure. How many posts in a row are just people going “Noid’s just an asshole. He won’t let people enjoy things”?

How about explaining *why* you enjoy them? Or why you think they are good? And how many times do I have to explicitly state, point blank: People enjoying AEW is not the issue. People being unable to make arguments as to why they think it is good is. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

Nope. Much easier to say that Noid just doesn’t like the rain. Nah, I don’t like bathing in urine. But there are literally about three people left on TPWW who are smart enough to understand that. And yeah, that might sound insulting, but it’s not like it’s not fucking true, lol.

And again: Where is all this “just let people enjoy it” defense of the WWE? Why does it make any sense to get all indignant at people saying “AEW sucks” if the narrative in the same place is going to be “WWE sucks?” I’m not saying WWE doesn’t suck. But where is the consideration there? It doesn’t exist. Because it’s only convenient for the cult to use it when it suits them.

I have fun watching it, most of it. I try not to think too hard beyond that, you know, being a yank with no critical thinking skills and what not.



Same with WWE when I did watch it. I've been on the WWE sucks wagon for about 6-7 years now. I cannot pinpoint the exact catalyst, I just know I found myself not giving a shit anymore, and bored by what was on the TV.



AEW seems entertaining right now, but isn't perfect. There it is, nothing more :)

Take, for example, my argument that the Nielsen ratings are not worth what people on AEW’s dick make them out to be. That they’re compromised of archaic data measuring an increasing archaic medium. Why would advertisers go out of their way to appeal to 200k 49 year old white men through cable television? What about my suggestion that advertisers are interested in other stakeholders now, including women, LGBT+ and POC. That the audience for AEW might be fiercely loyal, but is there any evidence that it’s much deeper than the people who watch weekly, or that their audience is willing to spend money on other things, or be consumers advertisers would want engaging with their products?

Has ANYBODY tried to engage with that point...ever? You maybe have a 14 year old boy level response from someone “No, you’re wrong. You don’t understand TV like *I* do, because here is my appeal to authority,” but you don’t get anyone disputing the actual logic of my thinking there. Because they can’t. Because I. Am. Fucking. Right.

That’s why AEW got booted off TNT for a sport that generates a way lower “key demo” than them. Because AEW might get higher numbers, but it has less appeal than hockey, and it’s just possible that hockey attracts more unique viewers over a season than the 1.1 million diehards that watch AEW every week.

Yep, I am the one that cannot have a discussion.

That’s a fair enough subjective view to have. Entirely your prerogative. But do you see what I mean when you’re allowed to say WWE sucks, but not liking AEW is trying to stop people from enjoying things. It’s just that one’s en vogue to shit on, the other isn’t.

My argument has always been that for the majority of wrestling fans who don’t want to engage with wrestling beyond the immediate sense of it (the “casual fan”), AEW does way too much goofy, in the weeds, deep-cut, ironic bullshit that is going to disengage that viewer, or turn off people potentially attracted to the star power they obtain when they get a CM Punk or Bryan Danielson.

The average fan doesn’t want to see something like Orange Cassidy that slaps in the face that they’re engaging with artless fiction, because they are not obsessed on a molecular level with all things pro-wrestling. Being a glutton for punishment isn’t in their DNA like it is people who can actually get through a three hour Raw.

My big gripe with AEW is that it isn’t a wrestling show. It’s a parody show aimed at the most hardcore fan of the wrestling genre. That isn’t for everyone, it isn’t tailor-made for the successes of something that is closer to what has historically worked in wrestling. This isn’t a show aimed at people who liked Raw in 1997 or 1998. It’s a show aimed at people who actively don’t like Raw now.

1.1 million people.

That could be what it is. But it would be nice to have a true alternative to the WWE that doesn’t rely on the narrative that they’re this stale oppressor as the source material for all its drama. It would be great if there was something at a certain level in wrestling, with a certain accessibility and prestige, that presented pro-wrestling in a way that doesn’t have to be insecure with that being what it is. It would be nice to have a promotion that can take these stars from Vince and really challenge him to adapt the way he presents his product, instead of validating his decisions and billions of dollars.

It would also be nice if the narrative surrounding the promotion we do have wasn’t one of “they’re so fucking great, wow so great” when there are common sense reasons and actual evidence that they’re not. And if they want to be a niche product that appeals to 1.1 million people when it is unopposed by any other wrestling (“appeals” might be too strong a word there), then fine. But can we stop this forced narrative of “they’re beating Raw they’re so good!” when you have to squint and sometimes compare separate weeks, looking at very specific subsets of the audience to make that case?

If AEW wanted to be its own style of sports entertainment? Ugh, fine. It’s the last thing I needed, but whatever. But again, it’s the pissing on my leg. If they were fine being that, we wouldn’t have these weekly parties over a largely arbitrary and trivial number that comes in.

It’s not like you don’t have some good points. It’s just exhausting to debate with you. Plus you hate 99% of what they do so why bother? I like most/a lot of what they do. All wrestling companies did some dumb shit over the years. Even when WWF and WCW were red hot, so many bad decisions. I just like to enjoy it and let it play out as it may. Just like I did back then. Sure I can recognize the crap and even call them out for it… but you just shit on it as a whole. You also do it like an asshole. You can’t blame anybody for feeling the way they do towards you but yourself.

And the ratings thing is just fun! It’s trivial. Who cares? It brings some people back to the Monday Night Wars. It isn’t THAT serious. You are being a rain cloud. Nobody likes a rain cloud.

I have a lot of great points. And what’s wrong with me not liking 99% of what they do? I can explain why 99% of it is bad. Why do I have to see things the way you do to have a discussion with you? The irony is completely lost on TPWW, lol. Yep, it’s me that won’t let people have their opinions.

And this has got nothing to do with the WWF or WCW being perfect. Neither was. But both were also able to do things that worked en masse and didn’t run away millions of viewers (until they did).

This whole “I can call them out” blanket of “I’m actually objective” is just silly too. It’s a way of trying to artificially boost a perspective by making it appear to be the balanced one, hence implying that other takes are not. It doesn’t actually rely on reason. If half the people who could allegedly call out AEW on the stupid shit they did sometimes, then we’d have a lot more of a fruitful discussion and maybe more than 1.1 million people watching.

And the ratings being trivial? That may be your take to dismiss the hoopla surrounding it, but it is definitely not the case that everyone thinks this way. It’s deadly serious to some people. Look at how personally people take it even here.

I couldn't care less for ratings, nor other people telling me something is "shit". Everyone has their views.


I do not equate AEW with WWE in any capacity. I see two wrestling companies who go about things very differently, and I like that. When I am watching AEW, I am not hate-watching out of spite for WWE, I just typically like what is on. Their women's division is shit, and a lot of the lower/mid-carders are super green, but the majority of what I do tune in for is very fun.


I stopped watching WWE when I was just bored and didn't give a shit about what was happening anymore. I don't watch either company because of something the other does or doesn't do.


Also, who gives a shit about what has historically worked. it's great to buck the trend and even greater when it is successful. There's more than one way to do nearly all things in life, and more power to those who make it happen.


Overall, I view it as a chance for more talent to have more opportunity, and at the end of the day, that's a net positive for the industry as a whole. I hope that AEW continues to grow. I think the industry as a whole would be better off for it.

You can call them out, you can be a shithead all you like. Its things like when Smeat simply posts "news" here for everyone to look at (not just members, but guests as well) and you personally attack him for it. They aren't HIS views nor HIS opinions, he is simply posting news and rumors much like this site always has. Go shit on Fightful or Meltzer or Bixenspan.... the people ACTUALLY "reporting" this stuff.



Now, people shit on you as well, which isn't right (in some cases) either. You are a self-professed "obsessed wrestling fan" which is a level of fandom I don't think many people fathom, let alone understand. Your level of fandom goes well beyond the casual viewer, but most people don't really care for that level of whatever. When they fail to understand it, they shit on you or you shit on them unwarranted and things devolve into the same ole schtick.



I'd argue most people are like me, in that they tune in sometimes and if what is on the TV entertains them, they'll watch till the next commercial break. AEW/WWE/WCW, etc. Put any three letters you want and there is always "something else" to watch for your average viewer.

The guy who says people fake being objective to strengthen their credibility does shit like this and then acts like he’s the victim truth-teller against a bunch of biased AEW marks.

As long as he’s unwilling or unable to see the issue here it’s just a never-ending circle. Noid desperately comes up with ridiculous things to shit on AEW about, he gets called out on it, claims bias, rinse, repeat.

Stick to actual gripes with the product. There’s plenty. Or keep coming up with stupid ones but do it with a wink and a grin.

The asinine, bullshit points mixed with “YOU ALL CAN’T HANDLE THESE TRUTH BOMBS” smugness is the problem. And even when you do actually come up with a fair gripe, that stink remains tied to you.

And yes, I fully expect this to end up with “No, you!” “Projecting hard!” “Lol Project much!?!”

And no, I don’t have a good answer for “Why do you even engage with Noid anymore.”

And yes, I am aware he could be trolling and I’m just “falling into the trap.”

Hope that addressed most of the posts on the upcoming page or two.

lol if he's trolling I'll give him credit for really sinking his teeth into the gimmick. Leaving the forum because people liked Alexa Bliss was a great touch.

This is basically everybody's take on AEW to Mr Nerfect :rofl:

No he’s not and no he doesn’t.

If everyone has their views, why can’t I have mine? Why are they immediately intrusive and threatening to other people’s? You say you don’t care about the ratings, which may or may not be true, but you KNOW that isn’t the case in general. Stop with that.

They don’t go about things very differently though. You are allowed to have an “opinion” about that, but when people point out how they do things exactly the same, those people get shit on. And it’s not just me.

You can profess that you don’t give a shit about WWE or whatever. Again, you KNOW that isn’t the general attitude the hardcore fan has about AEW and the WWE. To tie it into ratings, that’s why you have forced news stories about AEW beating WWE in men 18-34 in cities beginning with “B” if you take the rating against the football against the one from three weeks later when everything else had a test pattern.

And to whoever said it about Smeat: I don’t jump on him for dropping news. Wtf? I used to defend Smeat, but my issue with him now is that he takes “news” that can clearly be dismantled in a heart-beat, and regurgitates them as true, throwing his hands up with no ownership over it. THAT’S my issue with him and he knows it.

God help you if you come to TPWW for the news, lol.

You cannot see how AEW signing a big, tall Indian athlete to gain attention and traction in India is in any way like the WWE signing a big, tall dude to gain traction in the same market? This is really the “ridiculous” thing you’re going to cling to? Odd hill to die on.

See, I like discussing things re: wrestling. But you love to argue for the sake of it, to the point that you actually lose any firm position and often argue based on semantics or a projected interpretation of what you want to respond to. You’re not a dummy like so many people, but you’re a giant sea-lion just waiting to say “Well, actually” to people, regardless of whether or not you authentically believe what you’re saying, or that even they said what you’re saying.

Yes, AEW signing a green giant from India is very similar to the same business decision the WWE made to bring in Dalip Singh. That is not a ridiculous claim to make, lol.

Also like how it basically turns into “You’re right, but because people don’t like you, they won’t admit it,” which is basically what I’ve been saying all alone. Thanks. :y:

Fan once again exposing the truth

Going back to read stuff I didn't read because I don't care to read arguments.... but.....

I'll give you this point. It isn't the same as "making a big deal about him being Indian". It is making a big deal about someone else making a big deal about him being Indian. I guess it removes the process a little bit.

...

“Mr. Nerfect: King of Critical Reading”.

Maybe I’ll combine all these posts into a book or something for you to read next time you take a break from wrestling and the words being said to you will finally register.

I've literally been posting the same way for news for years.

Your the one who suddenly decided over the past two years to go on this big ranting anti-IWC/dirtsheets crusade as if your the one who suddenly knows about everything in wrestling and everyone else, including actual experts who know way more than your dumbass does, is immediately wrong if they have different views or goes against your confirmation bias towards AEW and wrestling you don't like.

You've also been very cherry picking news or points to use in your arguments as well which is the very same thing you've been accusing others of doing these past couple years so don't come at me about me just "regurgitating" news or being a Meltzer/dirtsheets sheep you fucking dipshit.

Go back to fucking reading a book or two since that big rant you did before about taking a huge break and hating TPWW and wrestling obviously didn't fool anyone since your annoying ass came right back here.

You can have yours. I didn't tell you that you couldn't, nor did anyone else to my knowledge? It seems the issue is that not many share your view, and you see that as people telling you "you can't". Or just post whoever told you that you can't?


"In general" would definitely refer to the "casual" viewer - who I can guarantee you doesn't even know what a "good" rating would be. I don't read into ratings, it doesn't move any needle any direction.



Okay. You stated they did stuff outside "traditional" means, not me. I just watch whatever is on and decide if I like it *shrug*. I change it if I don't.



I really don't though. There is a PPV tonight that a family member will come over to watch and I don't know a single match that's on the card. Whatever forced news stories that involve A beating B in Demo C is not important to me. I am a damn filthy casual (barely) fan.

He doesn't own the news he posts though, see? So go take up your issue with the actual owner of the "news" perhaps? Smeat has done the same style of post since the beginning, and it's easily verifiable.

:wave:

Noid asking why can’t he have his views when we’re allowed to, even though he attacks everyone’s views as wrong because they don’t align with whatever he thinks wrestling should be.

^ that's been his entire personally for like four years

Gotta say, I agree with Mr. Nerfect.

Haha Gertner is the best. Biggest pot stirrer in the league.

:?:

What’s a tro- ... pot stirrer?

Wow, everyone gaining up on me for expressing my opinion. I know how Mr. Nerfect feels.

So many people here who post the same essentially BS are more or less trolls. It's not that big of deal. Still don't know how the folks in charge don't ban them, but whatever. There are still just enough great posters here regardless. I just try my best to avoid responding to the trolls, especially unnecessarily.

Noid just wants y'all to accept his logical takes and acknowledge his brilliance.

STD in the mud!

The "neck" aspect of that match. I've never experience the story of a wrestling match affect the crowd so intensely. Kenny kept upping the stakes as the match went on with moves he'd do to Danielson's head/neck and the crowd was just along for the ride, so much so that I felt like I was back in the 80's watching a big MSG show and the crowd would just be following along with the guys in the ring perfectly. Feeling the blows to the crowd favorite.

That's what it was like. There were spots where it felt like together we all knew that Danielson shouldn't kick out, but he would. It wasn't long to realize they were gonna go Broadway but it didn't matter because Danielson kept kicking out of all Kenny's brutal offense.

It was such a cool match to experience.

Darby/Sting vs FTW was just like that but the tag version, where some classic tag tropes that are super affective when done well had the crowd just eating out of the palm of their hands. Sting must have felt like a f'n Icon by the reception he got and how everyone popped for all his offense. Such a cool match and event. Partially because this giant 20k audience is for the most part at certain times completely unified about something. It could be Jericho's song or Jungle Boy's or CM Punk. Adam Cole's gimmick which is crazy over or maybe it's just awesome pro wrestling and everyone in the audience is cheering for the good guy and the bad guy keeps getting one over on him until your guy gets his chance for some heat and you and the rest of the crowd just pop like 10 years old's watching Stone Cold and The Rock or Hulk Hogan and Sting.

cornett liked the show better then you did trip a

Clearly he's being paid by AEW now, right?

I think the pandemic rut of AEW really did a toll on Cornette. Seeing his reviews over the summer for AEW its obvious that he's not a troll but just giving his true opinions. If he likes it he tell you, if he doesn't he tell you. He'd have been marking out like everyone else there live if he had been there. Although I know he hates coming to NYC and probably never will again, it was truly a wrestling time travel machine to be at that show and watch that match.

LIAR!!!! HE CANNOT POSSIBLY LIKE IT FOR REALLY REAL!

Pot Stirring is bullshit. You Stir what is in the pot, not the pot itself.

Does it matter who threw the stuff in the pot, or do we just yell at anyone?

Full Gear announced for the target center. They’re gonna pack in another 20k for that show. Maybe more.

AEW is the one making the statement, so I don’t think it even removes that. He’s tall and Indian. That is why he has been signed. I don’t know why #1-wwf-fan is so uncomfortable about admitting this.

I’ve literally been responding to bullshit the same way for years. Isn’t it funny that context changes things? In my case, it’s because AEW is a precious bub that must be protected. In your case, it’s easy to think through the “news” you post. Which in many cases, no — doesn’t come from “experts,” haha.


He doesn't own the news he posts though, see? So go take up your issue with the actual owner of the "news" perhaps? Smeat has done the same style of post since the beginning, and it's easily verifiable.[/QUOTE]

I can’t make sense of most of this, but people actually get upset because my opinion challenges theirs. You are a bunch of low-effort things saying things like “Noid won’t let anyone have fun.” That is what that is. Don’t lie and say it doesn’t happen, haha.

By the way: This doesn’t bother. People also like to spin it into me crying about being a victim. It’s just super-fucking telling about what the “IWC” is like. I used to hate that term, because people generally think so differently, but it is like this hive-mind. Even people you’d think would be more critical of being fed a load of shit go out of their way to try and curb criticism of this thing.

Lol, look who is calling for censorship. BCZ was all on my dick when I pointed out how bad WWE was (back when I was ruining fun that way — now it’s okay). But when I pointed out that there was rhyme and reason behind why NXT wouldn’t go in guns blazing against AEW from the start, he called me a cocksucker and started a hate campaign against me that he is now pretending to be above.

Even others on here have identified this guy as an “AEW fanboy” to the point of losing all reason. Shut the fuck up, BigCrippyZ.

Of course their his real views. Cornette has always given his real opinion on things. It just unsettles people that he sees through AEW’s horse shit and holds it up against logic. “Hiss, Cornette bad.”

Really telling that people are making a big deal out of Cornette praising something he thought was good, as opposed to making the fuss about AEW actually doing something that Cornette thought was good. There’s way more difference between that any AEW signing 7-foot-something guys from India being radically different to the WWE signing 7-foot-something guys from India.

That quote sounds isolated and removed from all other context though, lol. Would he have liked it more than WALTER and Draganov? Got no idea, but it sounds like cherry-picked praise. I’ll listen to his podcast later though.

I’m still not going to watch the match. I just can’t bring myself to care. AEW has done their absolute best to run me off. Cornette has the burden of this kinda being his job. I don’t have to watch everything. So I’m not. A step in the right direction? Dunno. But this isn’t exactly a shocking turn of events, given Danielson was there. I just can’t bring *myself* to care.

That’s more TPWW reacting to Noid making a valid point about AEW.

Nah, I'm good, thanks.

Yeah, it's a real shocker that I would have no problem with you or anyone else being censored or excluded by a private person or entity from using their property or platform to express a viewpoint they disagree with. :roll:

AEW is certainly the best wrestling in the world! WHOOOOOOO!

Jim Cornette is the best judge of wrestling in the world today. Months ago he would have gone back and forth between AEW and NXT but now he’s given multiple AEW shows rave reviews while bemoaning having to watch NXT. Seems like it’s official.

This is a game where I quote Noid and watch him try to make his own version of the English language so he doesn’t have to admit he projected another “lolAEW” moment that didn’t happen because he’s a try-hard desperately looking for things to shit on.

Lmaooo he’s not going to address that head on. He projected something to happen that hasn’t happened before and didn’t happen when he predicted it, and he’ll dance around it and try to find a new “a ha!” moment that hasn’t happened yet.

Idk how anyone could argue with Cornette. While I think a lot of his schtick is just that, I also think he’s brutally honest and him looking what AEW has been doing of late is genuine. You can heart the excitement in his voice.

Imagine they keep doing well enough to get him to cameo and punch out Dan Lambert for gimmick infringement.

I dont listen to Cornette hardly ever, but I caught like a 30 second clip where he was making up lyrics to Punk's theme, I got a good chuckle out of him going "Like Mussolllllllini, and Seth Rollllllins" :rofl:

His ad reads are fucking hilarious lately.

I pick Jungle Boy for the upset!

I'm really hoping that AEW adds a big match for tomorrow night. I think that not capitalizing on last weeks mega show with at least one major star on for this week is a mistake. Give us a Punk vs Hook, Danielson vs Matt or Nick Jackson or even Brandon Cutler. No Mox? No Jericho? AEW has several actual big money draws and they should be using at least one per week.

Also, AEW needs to focus on pushing Malakai Black and Andrade El Idalo. Those two are money and are on the cusp of being considered stars, keep the push going! Get Andrade involved with Mox or Jericho, something major. Malakai and Cody can continue I guess but I'd really like to see Malakai get into it with The Pinnacle if they don't mind to have him get a babyface style spotlight, he wouldn't have to change at all, MJF would just be a great heel thus making Malakai the babyface.

Malakai vs PAC also would be incredible. Malakai vs Orange Cassidy/Best Friends could be decent too.

But Malakai should go up from Cody so let's just pull the goddamn trigger and have Malakai clean CM Punk's clock with that kick and start the money feud of the year. Punk and Malakai is a dream match for me, Black always reminded me of an evolved version of CM Punk. Let's fn go! YEAH

...yet you still post ad nauseum about how shitty something is while refusing to watch it or *care* about it?

lol "I can't bring myself to care, but here are 75 more posts about this company"

thankful for the ignore feature. have to remember to rep Triple A for that

shit, we haven't been able to watch the "grand slam" editions of Dynamite/Rampage yet. no one told me a newborn would hinder our TV watching so much.

I blame Supreme

i enjoyed dark elevation last night. spent at least half of the episode doing promo/interview stuff related to the grand slam shows. the men of the year backstage promo especially stood out.

According to Fightful, Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota is currently interested in hosting a Dynamite show in the future.

For some wrestling historical context, this was the location of WCW's first ever Nitro show that featured Lex Luger's surprise return to the company after spending a few years in WWF.

That would be cool

I’d love that. Sucks that border is closed. Would be driving there if not.

That would be quite the step backwards for them.

Starks vs Lockhart was very good on Dark, and I am not really a "workrate" guy. It also told a good story.

Hahahahaha, enjoy your baby, jerk!

Put the crib in the closet and shut the door

Problem solved.

Luckily, new fathers are not part of the key demo.

They’re not even part of the Noid demo. That’s only rich black people and... giant Indians? I don’t remember. I may be getting my arguments mixed up.

I expect that baby to be in the closet Thursday at 9pm so you can join our Classic Wrestling watch

baron von raschke > fatherhood

:lol:

Starks could end up being a star. Love everything he’s done in the company so far. I just want more. I’m hoping he and Punk get a program.

I’m currently giving away the chance at a free PPV in the thread. That’s like a $19.99 USD value in 1986 and that’s not even factoring inflation. If TPWW Thursday night rasslin isn’t worth abandoning your newborn child, I don’t know what is.

Brandi is delusional

Darius Lockhart was the VPW Champion (the local Indy Fed in Thomson, GA)

It's really amazing how over the past years we've seen some drop in promo's from territory legends on TV. In WWE we've had Michael Hayes and Mick Foley drop in to set off some really intense promo's. When they get to "that point" where they let off a bomb that just totally blows away the depth of what the modern day superstars talk about.

In AEW we've got some really great promo guys from Jericho and Cody who have delivered some of the best promo's in recent history. Don Callis and Omega who are more than capable, and MJF and CM Punk who are probably the only guys who can approach that level of intensity that someone like Arn, Hayes or Foley brings to a promo.

Good shit Arn. Way to make this angle matter because it was going down the drain in some aspects. Not as far as what they've done but where you could see it going.

Arn made me care.

1.1

The ghost of TNA lives on.

I was actually thinking of the period when I watched TNA from roughly 2006-2007 I think.... and I think they probably actually had a better show going on than AEW does right now.... at least I remember being more entertained by the shows and stories on the whole than I am by AEW thus far....

(And for more reasons than just Christian Cage being world champ/main event)
