Wow. I haven't been able to log into TPWW for like a month or so... what'd I miss?
In all seriousness, I am aware of all the goings-on that, contrary to popular truth, started right before the Ariel Halwani interview dropped. Tony Khan tried to poke fun at Eric Bischoff publicly on teh Twitter machine about how he was a "shitty businessman". Then proceeded to roll consecutive natural 1's on just about any type of check that emerged about the state of his buisiness, his talent, the ill fated airing of security footage that only served to vindicate the guy they were trying to demonize and currently works across the street, etc., etc. But, it's good to see that I could post this before everything goes off the rails again and leaves me unable to comment on any of it here in real time. |

Dynamite was so terrible but, um, I loved the ending. Tony Khan's selling was hilarious but really, I thought the angle was great.

Of course TPWW goes down right before AEW becomes hilariously bad. Showing the footage that proved Punk’s story? Amazing. Forced rah-rah promos with no context? Delicious. Tony Khan getting involved in angles and selling like that? Gravy. Now you’ve got Dave Meltzer lying extra hard about Punk being responsible for Colt Cabana’s “firing” (he never got fired). But, um, Dave:
Why has Colt Cabana only been used roughly once since CM Punk has been gone if it was CM Punk’s fault? This promotion is imploding and beginning to cannibalize itself at an extraordinary rate. You can’t say it isn’t deserved. |

AEW got 703k viewers this week.
Dave is doing his best to defend them. I don’t know if it’s fake, but Dave is claiming that if they did something this good years ago when they were cool, it would be hot. Dave’s said a lot of ridiculous things lately, but that might take the cake (if true). AEW sucks, fans. Pure and simple. Years of bad television will erode your viewership. There are things that the remaining people do not want to see and AEW is jamming it down their throats. And the negative press, the shitty looking crowds and the attention drawn to their shitty ratings turns more and more people off. |

They got something like 630k viewers if you factor in their 3rd hour of television (like they do for Raw).

AEW is embarrassingly bad, but I am interested in this angle with Tony Khan.

That’s your prerogative, man. Do you genuinely enjoy it, as in you think it is good? Or is it like an ironic and detached enjoyment?
I think my favorite thing about it is how little sense it makes. TK fired Punk for facelocking someone. Something worse happens several times a show every week. Now he’s getting beaten up and can’t fire the culprits because they’re EVPs? Jack Perry isn’t an EVP. It’s all hilariously pieced together. |

Ethan Page has left AEW. I’m sure he won’t be the last. I haven’t seen much, but I’ve heard he’s got talent. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear WWE picked him up (he also seems to have some friends worth impressing), but if not, TNA with Josh Alexander and Matt Hardy there makes sense.

Putting the world title on Christian is the only way to save the company.

You cant save it. Even if they fixed all their issues and product had some hot angles the image is bad. Its a meme that its bad. Same thing happened with TNA. It was cool to shit on it so when they had some stuff worth tuning in for it didnt matter. Its was lolTNA till it was just an indy all over again. The damage was and is permanent.

But TNA still exists doesn't it? This is largely attributed to putting the world title on Christian for a lengthy run. Everyone knows.

I’d like to think if AEW got genuinely good, I’d give it another chance. There are problems in its very DNA though. Tony Khan clearly lacks the ability to discern between good ideas and bad. The company’s very taste in what makes good wrestling is whack. They think this stuff with the New Elite is something other than bad comedy.

People used to get grumpy when people made fun of TNA too. “Why do you want a wrestling promotion to fail? Shouldn’t you be rooting for more wrestling?” No. The last thing wrestling needs is more bad wrestling.
It wastes the time of fans and of the wrestlers. Anyone with genuine talent is going to get booked somewhere else. There’s also a larger chance of them being booked better there. |
