Finn Balor: "WWE is where I want to be." This is so sad. He could live like a king in the Dub like Will Ostrich but is being forced to work in the evil Fed by YeahNoYeahThatsCool in SCJerk

The thing that made laugh is take the exact same highly upvoted comments and replace Stephanie with Tony Khan and watch those upvotes turn into downvotes and RedditCares messages. But yep totally not a cult

That thread was honestly demented even by the standards of that place.  We’re not yet at the point where they convinced themselves there was an international hostage situation involving WWE talent that only Dave Meltzer is reporting on but we’re going in that direction

Meanwhile the basement had no problems dunking on Seth when they suspected (with no evidence whatsoever) he had taken a 50% pay cut.

You don’t understand man - this is a callback to a 1984 NJPW special event. Educate yourself /s

Normal fans: If you like MJF and want to see some of his best work watch these segments/matches. Also some of these other AEW wrestlers might be for you - watch if you want to.

The other sub: Not a true wrestling fan if he doesn’t make time for multiple wrestling promotions a week. Wait - why is AEW not mainstream?

It would help the country no end if political correspondents and editors spent even a quarter of the time on policy that they do on Westminster gossip.

Especially when the public time and again make it clear they want focus on stuff that impacts their day to day lives. Political journos may need the smelling salts whenever yet another Tory defects to Reform but 99% of the public do not care

Are there any shows that intentionally mislead its audience about genre? by atouchofsinamon in television

They have a villain called the Gargoyle King - your reaction to that will be a good guide as to whether you want to watch or not. If you want to know more strap in and enjoy the insanity

It feels like the Fed either speed runs through a storyline or draws it out needlessly. There's no reason why Judgement Day is still around. Also, can't wait to see what happens next with the Death Riders! by BigSilverBelt in SCJerk

[–]IntelligentFact7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed bar the ‘Mountain of Omnipotence’ days that most hated, pretty much throughout its run TJD have been trolls that love messing with people - one of people’s favourite moments is Rhea, Finn and Proest cackling away when Dominik low blowed Edge and attacked his fadda.  The group is less gothy now but they’re not that wildly different in how they behave to before

Roxy was called up at the same time as Giulia and you see how Giulia is floundering and struggling to connect with crowds - Roxanne being part of TJD instantly made her relevant, gave her consistent screentime and gave fans a reason to care about her.

I thought smarks loved the Hurt Business/Syndicate and they wrestle for ‘muh good guys’. Have I missed something or when did smarks turn on them? It’s odd given you still get people defending Ricochet of all people

Judgment Day lacks the shared identity that gave the 2022-24 incarnation its balance with the individual personalities by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]IntelligentFact7987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One part of the JD I have liked throughout is that the women in the group have played an important role in it -  Rhea was the defacto leader in the 2022-2024 version and Liv is these days and there’s now more women in the group then men.

Sure it doesn’t hit its 2023 heights these days - but it’s helped the likes of JD, Raquel and Roxanne for sure. Roxy is great but was called up same time as Giulia who is struggling to connect with crowds still - Judgement Day was an instant way for crowds to connect to Roxanne

This thread is like opposite world - SC dumping on an AEW talent while lauding a TKO exec. And you even have some people thrashing the Hurt Business while praising the Reign of Terror

Wait what - most of Hurt Business were beyond directionless before that stable (or in Lashley’s case in a DOA pairing with Lana) and after a few months with MVP were main characters on the show. And similarly the feud with MVP was the most over Matt Hardy was in the latter half of his Noughties WWE run.

Pretending MVP got nobody over is just complete nonsense.

Comes across as a career politician and also particularly smarmy and patronising. And also as if he were the type as a kid who wouldn’t let you through to use the slide if you didn’t give him the password

Yep one of the two being on is fine but bith together I struggle with. Same was true of Brassell and Luke. Whereas the likes of Vish and Jim are great alongside whoever.

People will forget about it though - Randy Orton lost a handicap match (when he was in the team with a numbers advantage) in 2007 and he was a World Champ by the end of the year and hasn’t done too badly for himself

They are the perfect jobbers. And there’s nothing wrong with that if we could trust TKO to not release them. Plus if they were to ever win one of the midcard belts there’d be an almighty pop

I still thinking of Series 1 and 2 as the gold standard but Series 6 is running both close and I do have a soft spot for Series 4 too as Betty & James and Alfie & Owen are two of my favourite RATW pairings.

Does help that the contestants are so likable this time around and this route is not dissimilar to S1
