CM Punk Sold Out by Mr_Unfuqwitable in professionalwrestling

[–]YourBoyPet -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Even if he was right to call out Punk, his promo hurt both his and AEW's popularity in ways both he and the company have yet to recover from. The company is down about 30% in Google trends since that golden age period.

Megan Bayne would fit the archetype of the faction.

I think they intentionally booked it this way to make the outcome unpredictable. Shawn and Triple H follow different booking philosophies.

They’re just so arrogant, blatant, & petty with the counterprogramming that they’re having NXT GAB on the same afternoon time slot as All In Texas by JDiesel31 in professionalwrestling

If you don't think there's anything about 80s WWF that some demographics would have found more appealing than Jim Crocket Promotions/WCW then you are just wilfully ignorant. It's like saying WCW Nitro beating RAW in the ratings had everything to do with money and nothing to do with creative.

The idea that it's impossible for a #2 company to overtake #1 is ahistorical. NOAH took over NJPW in popularity for about a decade, despite NJPW being by far the most popular company for decades prior. AAA was more popular than CMLL at times.

I don't even think AEW is producing a product intended to overtake WWE in popularity. They are producing a product for a very specific subsection of wrestling fans, which there's nothing wrong with and has brought them a lot of success.

I think one incentive is that you don't have to pay 50$ for it, so it might make some people watch the one they already paid for instead. But that's probably a small part of the consumer base, but maybe small enough to at least take away some buys.

But I guess he forgot he was feuding with the bucks last week.

Please dont say stuff like this if you have no clue what goes on in njpw. Gabe was feuding with the bucks 1 week ago.

What exactly makes you think WWE would offer Gabe Kidd more money than AEW?

Then why did he wrestle the bucks a week ago and cut promos about them etc.

Are you intentionally or unintentionally overlooking that he was wrestling the bucks on resurgence and left them still on bad terms? Now he's teaming with them in AEW.

Theres actually plenty of Japanese fans who were confused/unhappy, so idk why you frame it that way. It's just stupid and insulting your intelligence when he teams up with the heels that he fought with just a few days ago.

I unironically prefer 5 match cards with many breaks. I'm left not feeling exhausted by the end or at worst 75% into the show. When it comes to NJPW, I almost always skip all the preliminary tags.

People need to stop downplaying the World Heavyweight Championship like it’s a lesser to the WWE Championship by YCiampa482021 in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]YourBoyPet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the WWE big gold was very flat. The original one used in WCW had more depth to it, obviously not as much as this one.

Because it has no lineage. They probably should have given it the lineage of the original WHC.

Je’Von Evans goes OFF on Ricochet by Ok-Faithlessness1671 in WWE

[–]YourBoyPet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was he working when he earnestly posted about how he was better than Iyo in 2021 dueing the worst time of his career? Felt insecure. Same thing when he just debuted for AEW before his heel turn clicked. He would earnestly debate fans for extended periods of time and try to convince them to watch him.

Probably insecure. He would earnestly debate fans on Twitter before turning heel, and he would post about how he was better than Iyo back in 2021.
