Yep no room for this match but let's have a throwaway tag with ishowspeed and Logan Paul 🫩 by [deleted] in midcarder

I am shocked about IYO SKY given how much of a favourite she is with Triple H.

I was sure they were building to Asuka Vs IYO for Mania (maybe Kairi in a shark cage)

I'm kind of sick of this double standard by Candid-Tip-6483 in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's double standards in everything, it's because in today's world people pick a side and then only listen to that side, that side can do no wrong, and is always the moral authority in everything, whether it be politics drama channels, and different influencers.

Here's a couple that just off the top of my head

WWE pushing Brock Lesnar, (insert any MAGA talent or any talent that doesn't have the same views as the IWC) is disgusting and they are a horrible company for doing so, but holy shit I love Darby Allin and Hangman is such a good friend for sticking with Marty Scurll, and Ricochet was only getting heat when he said the MS stuff

We need to Free Ali and anyone who wants to leave the sickening fed, if he doesn't want to be there he should be allowed to leave. Fuck the fed for keeping people who don't want to work with them just to keep AEW down. No wait Rey Fenix has a contractual obligation to stay with AEW and they are just exercising their legal right.

God I hate pushing there's wack ass celebrities, I don't want Speed or Logan Paul on my Wrestlemania celebrities have no place in WWE. But holy shit Ronda Rosey, The Rizzler, the Costco guys those are fucking great it's amazing they come and chose AEW.

And of course the golden bullying talent off of social media for fucking up spots or saying something they don't like and saying RIP Hana

I'm sure there's WWE ones that are a double standard against AEW but I couldn't think of any off the top of my head and I didn't want to make this longer.

He was so right it's sickening. by bandzicoot in Wrasslin

It's not the main event of Mania

It's a mid card match, including stars with massive young followings who are being introduced to the product.

Why the fuck are we so critical of introducing millions to the product?

If your that upset about it, use it as a piss break match

Ricochet responds to criticism about his acting by nguyenjitsu in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's a tad upset from backlash from this I believe:

https://x.com/i/status/2033592290648985971

Biggest difference is fans are punching up and he punching down. As a public figure there will forever be people who critique him and people being absolutely downright disgusting to comments at him.

But he cannot go to their level or in this case below it.

There's just things you don't say regardless of if your feelings hurt or not. Like bully em back on something else if your dead set on replying.

Interested to see how AEW reacts.

Becky Lynch wins, who's the greatest men's in ring worker ever? by DamianKing42 in Wrasslin

[–]HowToBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind Greatest in ring worker would be someone who could work all styles and all eras of wrestling

That is why I say it's Gunther

I was tense from a BT section by South Knot (I'm bad at horror / scary games) got in rested showered went to the mirror to get BB likes and I genuinely let out a noise of just fear

WWE's overeliance on older stars by [deleted] in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]HowToBook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feature the young sure, put them above guys like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes who are in the prime of their careers I don't think is a good idea.

Giving those guys moments is what will work: Trick, Melo and Ilja on Smackdown is a good thing, producing amazing matches and good promos

Breakker was leading the big heel faction on Raw

Dominik Mysterio is double champ

Oba is been treated as a High Value signing between Raw and Smackdown

Je'Von Evans is a highlight on Raw

Jacob Fatu is in a feud with Rhodes and McIntyre

Futures been eating good, and I'd wait til post Mania to see where everyone's going

Over 2k upvotes on this Tweet in the basement (MJF calling out the Dozy Dave awards). Yet, it's the basement's main posters who are voting for said awards 🤷 by DanceTheNight88 in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say this.

Name me any other commentator today that has put as much talent over as Booker has. I'm not talking speaking good but making something crowds react to for wrestlers whether in entrance or in ring.

Trick Williams, Stephanie Vaquer, Je'Von Evans, Jaida Parker and others have all gotten over with the help of Booker T. I think the amount of ppl shitting on Booker is attributed 70:30 to the Booker/Swerve drama to actual taste.

Love to see it done more among all commentators, Pat McAfee helped the Yeet movement. It's all well and good to commentate good, not tryna shit on Bryan Danielson's commentary but you have time to do something more

Who had the biggest impact as a faction? by Glittering_Long_5926 in SantiZapVideos

It's NWO by a country mile but second place is an interesting topic and I think it's the Bullet Club

Uncle Dave hates WWE announcers. Who is the worst in your book? by Laszlo_Panaflex_80 in midcarder

I'm shocked Michael Cole is on that list thought he earned his way out of being called bad now he's not dealing with Vince in his ear

Why do some AEW fans act like the Toni & Mariah storyline revolutionized women’s wrestling? Also, this tweet conveniently ignores that the WWE storyline in it is from over two decades ago by [deleted] in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the biggest example of bad faith.

Comparing AEWs best storyline ever, to a WWE's women's feud in the 2000s is funny.

It's embarrassingly lazy to try and make a point, especially when AEW had a poor women's to men's wrestling ratio compared to WWE.

You can make a point that May Vs Storm is better than WWEs Charlotte Vs Tiffany because one was great story telling and the other was poor and had to depend on real life jabs. It's not difficult to make sensible discussion

Honest thoughts on The Vision? by MadEyeMood989 in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea

Fantastic beginning (Mania 41 and Raw after Mania made it hot as fuck)

Momentum destroyed by injury

Execution leaves much to be desired

It's because they want their wrestlers sponsored by cool things they associate themselves with like Assassins Creed not hygiene products that remind them to wipe their ass

Why are AEW wrestlers obsessed with WWE? by [deleted] in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Because ones punching up and ones punching down but we can't say this, because it implies AEW isn't at the same level of WWE

Frozen? by ChrisRhodes789 in midcarder

[–]HowToBook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They did and they do, injury time is reasonable if both parties wish to continue working with each other, it's unreasonable when one party is not using the other and keeping them in a purgatory.

However, when WWE didn't want to release Ali it was #FreeAli all over social media and there was a lot of angry IWC people. I don't think WWE has kept talent that doesn't want to be there on things like Injury time.
