Well at least the workers they refuse to let work will get some upgraded catering when the new TV deals.

A lot of them will get raises and stay home. People were worried that AEW would fall in the same traps that WCW did, but it appears that WWE is beating them to the punch. On Being the Elite they did a hilarious bit where someone complained to the Bucks about something with their character and they responded by "punishing" him by tripling his pay and letting him hang out at home.

As expected, All Out sold out in about 15 minutes and I don't believe there was a presale for this one.

We'll see how it goes when they have TV to set things up but as of now I don't have a lot of hope in any wrestling company ever really giving me what I want.

I found that I didn't miss Raw or Smackdown an iota this week. Gives me 5 hours to waste on something better. Like youtube videos on paint drying.

Maybe you guys are just....idk...growing up?

It's a really bland product I don't think it has anything to do with not liking wrestling, they give you no reason to invest in the characters, tv shows and movies that did that would also bomb.

You know who the WWE reminds me of? EA.

They both constantly never do what any of their fans/consumers want them to do. They are still profitable making a ton of money to the point that they are huge conglomerates that have forgotten what got them where they are. And every year they spend time promising they'll fix their fucked up products while continuing to give you the same shitty products.

Tonight is a classic example why they have no stars and the ratings are in the tank.

They had Shane go over Roman and did the 50-50 book by having Drew job to Roman. Vince is too stupid to not realize it should have been the other way around.

I think the funniest thing is the mandate no wrestling during commercial breaks so all matches are 2 outta 3 falls

Seth trying to drag other wrestling while being one of the faces of a company drawing record low ratings and record low gates is peak early 2000s WCW....hilarious.

It's almost too one of the nose for this company.
[Reply]

Just for the record, no wrestling company will ever draw the ratings that they did in the monday night wars era. The way people consume media has changed to much to be able to compare the numbers properly.

Second, of course Seth Rollins is going to do that, he's the champion, he has zero reason to drag the company he works for. WWE's actual "wrestling" isn't the problem their match quality is as good as it's ever been.
[Reply]

Of course he doesn't but him trying to pass it off as the best company and actual wrestling in the world is completely disingenuous and makes him look like a complete moron.
[Reply]

It's whatever if he wants to bootlick, but I just don't think he's doing a lot for me as champion. I like Kofi, but same goes for him too.
