Lock Jaw's hatred of Rob Van Dam makes even more sense now

*point* whole
*point* fucking
*point* show

Dude loves comics, gets the ladies and is a secret ninja. He's living the life Lock Jaw wants, and could have, but lacks the grapefuits to grasp the brass rings.

RVD is nearly 50 and is in a "throuple" with his wife and their girlfriend, both of whom are 15+ years younger than him.

Not a bad gig if you can get it.

What was funny about the Dark Order clip? That they confused Griff Garrison for Jungle Boy?

He's also a strange dude.

I agree with Noid about that AEW clip being not nearly as incredible as it’s being made out to be. Brodie still has SOMETHING useful in him as a character though. I don’t think his voice not being intimidating completely eliminates his potential.

Call me “strange” if I’m in my 50s and banging two chicks in their 30s who are down for it all. WON’T GAF!

Yes lol, Jungle Man. Who hasn't seen Griff Garrison and thought "HOW IS HE NOT CALLED JUNGLE MAN?".

RVD is really damaged by his divorce. That's why he's acting the way he is.

Why would you even have this guy on the roster if he’s so visually akin to one of your alleged stars?

Where is Abaddon and Anna Jay??

Ivellise (sp?) announced for Dynamite next week...she definitely has one of those pasts that would make you think AEW/WWE would want to avoid her....

Don't ask questions. AEW knows what they're doing, okay?

Not sure on Abaddon but Anna Jay got put under quarantine as part of AEW's precautions from QT Marshall being in contact with someone who had the coronavirus.

Everyone associated with his wrestling school got put under quarantine as a result.

Might be why several new non-associated talent started showing up in recent weeks as fill ins.

That's not how you hug a tranny, here let me show you!

Thats exactly how Tambor lost his gig

Sonny Kiss is the drizzling shits.

That nerd Tony Khan said in an interview with Bully Ray that he got the idea for setting up his arena from South Park :rofl:

Man this story Taker is telling is making me smile. Fuck Egg Man!

I’ll preface this by saying that I generally enjoy AEW. I watch pretty much every week and I’m invested.

Now with that, AEW has some issues that are just so obvious and so frustrating to watch unfold. In my opinion, most of their issues are fueled by ignorance and arrogance.

For example, instead of using their television to create their TOP stars, AEW already believes that Cody, Omega, Bucks, Hangman, etc are top stars who should be used to get low-mid card guys over. I’m sorry, but that is fucking ridiculous.

For example, Cody is doing his best impression of “2015 Open Challenge” John Cena, but here’s the difference: Cody isn’t NEARLY as over as John Cena and Cena was “pushed to the limit” by guys that had a strong upside (at the time). Cody should be crushing talent in 3-4 minutes on TV to establish that he’s a top champion.

Many people rip Vince and his Yes-Men for living inside a “bubble”. It seems as though the brains behind AEW also live in their own bubble where just because smarks in Chicago pop big for your matches, that it must mean that you’re “over”.

I truly want AEW to succeed with steady growth so that they can elicit some true change in the business, but at this rate they will NEVER make it that far. AEW will exist and survive due to their current, loyal fanbase and deep pockets, but this company has not demonstrated any maturity or desire to grow much further than what they currently are.

This information has been out there for a while. Also, South Park is a great show. And the setup of AEW’s arenas is good. So what’s the problem?

See, xrod. This is why a lot of people resort to name calling with you. Even when someone might agree with the general idea that AEW isn’t all that great (which I do), they also wanna focus on the positives more than the negatives just to combat you because you somehow pick the dumbest fucking “lolAEW” points imaginable like a big, dumb dipshit weener-boy.

One issue I've had with AEW is that too many people are presented as being on equal ground. Loads of their matches are "close" when they really don't have to be. Not everyone needs to be "in" every match.

Also I think people should stop selling offense from Marko Stunt. I know it's rasslin and I have to give in a little, but with him I just can't.

Also also, I think Archer should've won the TNT title. But I think that's been discussed a bunch already.

Marko Stunt at most should be a valet who catches people off guard with hurricanranas. Like a face version of Zelina Vega.

He should not be in the ring giving Kenny fucking Omega a run for his money.

They almost want to push people to spite Jim Cornette which is not really conducive to success.

I groan every time he's in a match because I know someone is going to take bumps for him and it's going to look awful.

Agree on Marco Stunt.

Sigh, that is the joke, it's supposed to be a dumb complaint. The ":rofl:" is supposed to convey that it's not a serious gripe.

Besides post-show interviews for events, that might be another area where they borrow from NJPW in regards to match mentality. It does tend to make the power gap between the top talent and lower tier talent smaller during matches but at the same time, also don't run into the same situation as WWE where you have a huge chunk of the established roster that is utterly useless and dead weight in terms of appeal or care.

Stunt's style of work can be very hit-or-miss but tend to find him more enjoyable or effective when he's doing quick stuff or not being the real focal point for matches for stretches at a time.

I enjoy him best when he's getting pummeled and tossed like a wet towel

Yeah he's been very effective at that.

When AEW is able to run events normally again, kind of hope they pay homage to the classic WCW Nash-Rey lawn dart moment at some point with Stunt.

I'd love to see him go through the ring.

lol speaking of him, I went to a RAW here in 2012 and he tried to start an ECW chant. He sat almost right in the middle of the hard cam side and wore some mask. Mid-match he stood up, tossed the mask, and left. Walked right by me on the floor.

Interested in seeing how much of the middle part of the belt got improved since the unfinished version made the whole belt look pretty tacky the more it got shown on tv.

Short Blonde....Penelope?
