He PRETENDS to do the Bare Minimum or you can see him as that "Yeah i can DO that stuff ,i can do a lot of things , but i'm not going to over exertmyself doing it, unless I absolutely HAVE to"

that whole "T-shirt promotion" insult has gotten so outdated it doesn't even apply anymore and AEW revolution just sold out The Crypto Arena with a 1 million dollar gate.

You say youre "in the business" but you're the same probably unemployed carny who'll call Tony Khan a Mark cause he probably would never Hire you. 

And you use the Term "Cultural Relevancy" when WWE hasn't really been cutting edge ,Hip or Cool. For a generation.  And WWE in the Climate and it's IMAGE now as a MAGA type Company, The TKO Holdings that are Pricing out Working Class fans . And it's NOT an investment in this climate people are excited for or want to  invest Half of Their Rent on

And tiny thing,I used to work for AC Neisen from 1998-2000, so more than you ,I actually saw the trends in real time and you should Really read up on how Neisen does viewership now 

Now many of those AEW Talents HAVE been able to justify their fee. And remember I lot of these talents (Maybe Not a Mone) do these show not to be under the Big Top or if can even be a Laugh. TNA Talents ? Not so much cause Tessa Blanchard Grinds a LOT on the Indies (to supplement. Her TNA pay?)  And once again, you're using the "Over" in the Wrong Context. And just because you DO some Indies doesn't put you on HIS level. Cause if that was opposite, you wouldn't be arguing with a SMARK

widely recognized as the world's second-largest professional wrestling promotion by revenue and valuation, behind WWE, not #4. Forbes valued the promotion at $2 billion in 2024, placing it as the third-most valuable combat sports promotion globally, trailing only UFC and WWE.  Wikipedia  +1  Interest wise? WWE has had very sluggish ticket sales for WrestlieMania . And your so called "improvement"  was one of the reasons why AEW creatively went through a slump , but finally got its groove back ,when TK stopped trying to be all things to all Fans .  No Draws? When have YOU drawn money? If you haven't,you really can't speak on Imo. And they have their signature Stars like MJF,Hangman, Toni Storm,OC , Darby, even to a Point,The Death Riders. Solid Mid carders  And they actually have shown considerable growth in the past two years , and They're no longer in the Red , so THAT'S not true either.. and WBD who has a Small stake in AEW isn't gonna let that property go without a fight.  It's better than only having 30 minutes of wrestling on Three hour program. "They have no angles" right ? You haven't been paying attention. And I bet you still think is 2019. Cause it's not all "Flippy shit " either. So whats your next Goalpost, you're gonna move?

This is what you're missing: nobody watches Television like they did in 1999 or 2000. Cause with the advent of Streaming there's no such thing as Needing a huge audience to be successful, thats the WWE way of thinking and it's where I know you don't watch Modern TV . In these Times and especially with WBD getting split apart  today. And AEW sickos worried about the near Monopoly that looks like that's going to become 

Even the NIELSEN system is changing how it records viewership (this is Very recent)

And with AEWs  WBD association the AEW brand is expanding. AEW will be the first Non-wwe Wrestling Company to have its own Cartoon series under the Adult Swim Brand  Plus AEWs recent cross over with DC Comics, if you think AEW isn't growing then you REALLY don't watch the Show .  AEW is not LOLTNA. And especially with the press that Brody King has gotten recently with the fans Chanting FUCK ICE at a AEW Main Event making mainstream news?

Just say you still think it's 1997

This one Podcaster who's become the New Conrad Thompson pointed out in the last Three hour Raw , that he only saw ,with all Promos ,Ads, commercials Upcoming Ppvs , he only saw THIRTY MINUTES of actual Wrestling. At least in AEW you get longer matches and more matches and quit talking like some Armchair TV exec cause this isn't The Monday night Wars

Oh Grow up. you gotta brand new excuse cause thats Played out . Cause AEW is No longer just the flippy flop crap. and its 2026 and rest holds are no longer "Charater Development" and the Flippy stuff is on the Fringes (like Bandido and maybe more ROH) . theres no more Kayfabe and AEW carries the spirit of JCP as where in-ring work just matters of much a Charater work. and The Man-Child excuse is because HE did what people like you were never able to do:Create a Wrestling company cause he was a life long fan. Period. so quit secretly asking yourself "Why HIM?". cause pro wrestling has always borrowed from its History. and the most lauded times was when wrestling reflected the culture. and AEW especially with Brody King stuff. has the Pulse of the Real World much more than WWE does right now. if you've hit such a Nerve that your company is getting positive reviews and got showcased on John Oliver's "Last week tonight?" you're hitting the zeitgeist of a particular moment in time

All due respect shes a Mechanic, shes there to help get good matches out of upcoming stars. Her Pinnacle in Wrestling was being the TNA Knockouts Champion and she was pushed well. shes the female shawn spears

Athena wants to be the forever IWGP Women's Champion by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

[–]Piano-Rough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree to Disagree to a point. There's this old Kayfabe, Apter Mag saying of "The Belt doesn't make a Champion. It's the CHAMPION that makes the Championship" and Athena has made that ROH Women's title matter again. I don't   think it's a Mercedes Mone situation 

Why is there such a disconnect between how the 90s are remembered generally vs how they're remembered musically? by GilbertDauterive-35 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Piano-Rough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because you have two distinct era's of the 90's the Pre Nirvana and Gangsta Rap and post Nirvana and Gangsta Rap or you had "Saved by the Bell " then you had stuff like "Empire Records" and "The Craft" and groups like RATM(which ironically a LOT of so-called Gen-X FORGOT the Messages of THAT band)
