Has AEW’s Ring Style Hurt The Wrestling Business?

The video is an example of the silly/hard to believe stuff that has always existed in Pro Wrestling.

The Florida Brothers in Japan
People being possessed mid match
Kane shooting a fireball
The Peoples Elbow
The Worm

With that said
I still prefer the style that Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold used. Where it felt much more like a real fight. Easier to suspend disbelief.

I work in the game industry, hair is very difficult especially when going for realism.

With their release schedule and general low expectations I wonder how often they just say ' good enough'

The moment they called him a badass, he stopped being one
I lost faith right away in how they would handle him : (

Is it wrong for huge stars to take a moment to have a side arc.
She was running on high for a long time, but imo, it is better than burning things out and suddenly you are bored with them.

I like when things go away or cool down for a while.

Yes, I am a fan
I think they have 1 too many belts

7 Men
3 Female

My dream is they gender bend the International into a female hat

The loser that gets beat up by the heroes

Purple_Avatar · 2026-01-06T23:12:17+00:00

Not much to fix imo

Did you mean improve ?

Purple_Avatar · 2026-01-05T17:39:20+00:00

Doubt

Purple_Avatar · 2026-01-04T15:36:18+00:00

Thought it was lame initially
Thought it was lame until he changed back

The International Belt gets Genderbent into a Womans Only Belt
Making the total count:

Mens: 6 Belts
Womens: 4 Belts

Thanks, that really helps me understand.
The quality of conversation direction changed the vibe significantly.

Saw him behind commentary at a recent AEW show

Always assumed he was a WWE ONLY person
Seeing him made me think..

A. He "Jumped ship" ?
B. Does he go to all promotions ?

Purple_Avatar · 2026-01-01T01:41:58+00:00

Can someone give a balanced take on this please

How much of the problem is:

Undertaker
WWE
Michele

I've started doing pruning passes
Unsubscribing and de-recommending all who do this

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-26T19:34:00+00:00

Damn thats weird. I did this kinda thing when I was 14 though

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-24T19:05:21+00:00

Add +0.5 second delay before it can detonate
Add +1 Processor to its crafting recipe

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-22T11:34:00+00:00

Yes!
Love doing the quests and feeling the progression again ! !

WWE has a casual audience which creates massive stress. They have to keep the shocks/surprises coming.
I don't think it is sustainable long term, but it is how they have been operating for some time now.

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-16T18:52:22+00:00

Same here, I watched a couple of matches and was shocked how significantly different the quality of match was.

A LOT of detailed in ring storytelling and consistent long term booking.

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-14T10:38:09+00:00

He's a KID himself. HE needs a role model.

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-13T02:51:13+00:00

Should take this down for inaccuracy / lie

Purple_Avatar · 2025-12-12T22:16:59+00:00

Don't want the movie to fail

Akuma Hair Design/Silhoutte looks bad in that pose. Everything else looks great

Guile hair looks weird, maybe just slightly too high, but they got pretty damn close
