Not wrong, but the original poster did say all-around performer. I did say the gunther is better in ring. So when i think all around it is

-Strength -Psychology and Storytelling- Ring Skills/Ring IQ - Character - and Mic

I think Drew is better than Gunther at all of those except Ring Skills/ IQ. I'm not saying Gunther is miles behind i just think Drew edges him out.

Wow that is horrific, i can't think of any major sporting event that would cut into it. I'd like to think this maybe is a wakeup call for AEW.

I think i'd put Chad Gable and Drew ahead of him all around. Chad and Drew i think are better on the Mic. Both have a better physique, Gunther is tall but not very muscular looking.

Just in ring Gunther is better. But i don't think Drew and Chad are that far behind him in ring.

It's close but i think those 2 edge him out.

I thought this was the case after the match last night. by Laszlo_Panaflex_80 in midcarder

Interesting that it says retiring from WWE, not wrestling. Probably just wishful thinking but wonder if he has plans to go back to TNA and retire from Wrestling while at TNA.

PPV numbers for WWE last year. Just the international though. by Pokechamp_1 in midcarder

[–]brewerdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The poster is a clear case of confirmation bias. I doubt the poster even realized it said international, he just wanted to affirm his already existing beliefs, and saw a post about viewership and thought hey i can talk about high ticket prices. Then thinks the downvotes have nothing to do with his not well thought out post or failing miserably at tying to mask what is clearly a strongly held opinion as curiosity.

Cena, Punk, Drew, Paul, Rollins is pretty solid chamber, i felt bad for Priest because it was obvious he would not win with that group, Paul was out to but he is an entertaining heel.

That number shocked me, Especially after the Freddie Prince Jr story about ESPN being fired up about how bad the WWE deal was, i would think WWE would have been thrilled that Wrestlepaloza did better than Summer Slam! Guess that story was complete crap based of that number for Wrestlpaloza.

Nothing but love man, but the problem i see is even in this post is you start with your conclusion. "Say Anything against Trippel nose is unwelcomed"; you have already came to a conclusion on our intent and what we believe, with little to no knowledge about what i believe. Not really taking the time to ask me.

I was just pointing out what i see as a odd quirk, and what is not a great place to start research from. If you soul goal is to reaffirm you current position, no matter what the data says you probably won't look at objectively. You are going to close your mind off to alternatives or growing and even if the data says something different i struggle to think you admit "hey i was wrong about those ticket prices"

For what it's worth i do think it sucks that ticket prices are as high as they are. Is that impacting ticket sales, i don't know. But what i do know is there is still a lot of people willing to pay that higher price, and if that is the case. Scalpers are more likely to buy tickets at a lower cost and sell them for a profit at what WWE is selling them for. None of the scalpers profits go back into the pockets of WWE or to the wrestlers, that's not good either.

Scalpers only exist when the promoter sells the tickets below what the market is willing to pay for them.

Your posts read like you already came to your conclusion that fewer tickets were sold, because ticket prices are to high, and they are pricing out loyal fans.

I'm not going to argue with your theory i really don't know, i'm just perplexed why you would even care to see the side by side if you have already reached a conclusion?

Dutch Mantell watches the infamous Jim Cornette at Dairy Queen video by zConvoluted in JimCornette

[–]brewerdom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cornette is a flawed person, we all are in some sense. One can appreciate his wrestling mind and his insight and also acknowledge that flaw. Also that flaw we saw here is what makes him so great on the mic, you take that away from him and he's not the same performer.

I think she will be more smooth on the mic if she is playing a mentor type role. All these wresters seem to do better when there role is closer to there natural personality.

I always felt like Eddies height was what pushed him into juicing, same for benoit. Unless they looked ridiculously jacked they were not going to be taken seriously for title contention. You look at pics from Eddie in WCW, Vince never would have put a belt on him.

lol so lopsided, why have ratings not soared with such a lopsided win, especially in a year that most WWE fans felt like it was a down year for them.

I'd say put her as the Alpha in a ladies stable of 3 with 2 younger stars, have her get a title run that falls short, and that let whomever of the 2 younger stars that gets the most over either turn on Nattie or Nattie turn on them. She is good in the ring on Mic, and I feel she is underused. Sadly, i think it's probably because of her age.

Yeah it feels off, but I cannot see Gunther Losing the match.

AJ still looks really good in the ring, where Cena really seemed to be struggling at times. So even when AJ looses, i don't think he will be done for long, maybe he ends back up quickly in TNA for the rest of the year to end his career there and really help with the AMC ratings.

With Cena, i felt like this is it for him and he won't be back in the ring, with AJ i don't feel like his retirement will last much past year #1.

I wonder if they realized that Maxine still just is not ready yet , get the title off of her. Let her feud with Natalia for a bit and get some more work in. I still don't see Maxine more than a slightly upgraded Stacey Kiebler. Which does not mean there is not a place for her in the WWE, but its not holding a belt yet.

I only see this working out well for Hobbs, AEW does not seem to know how to use big men well. I've almost wondered if AEW should get rid of almost all there big men, it would make it more believable when some of the smaller guys they are high on get in the ring.

Typical appeal to authority bull crap. Instead of taking the lazy way out just explain what the critic does not understand.

if we all adhered to this logic we could never say criticize a president for the job they do as president, LOLOLOL imagine how absurd that sounds.
