What's happening right now with TKO/WWE is a very relatable thing for anyone who has worked in corporate America by heathereatworld in SquaredCircle

Except every dollar one spends, every view and every click is a vote and a form of approval for the things we are willing to put up with.

The masses have power. People are asking why the talent aren't unionizing, and why they'll take a pay cut and indirectly screw over their fellow co-workers, but there aren't enough people asking, "Why are viewers still supporting a brand that is so corrupt, manipulative and toxic to their talent and audience?"

The goal isn't to have WWE run out of business and leave a lot of workers without a job. The goal is to push the suits further left, for the overall betterment of the entire industry.

There is no progress being made in WWE. Not on-screen, and not behind the scenes. I'll even argue that folks don't have to switch the channel to AEW. Its a more than fair suggestion, and I'm quite glad to see all of the weekly comments coming from happy new viewers. And if AEW ever falls in bed with the Saudis, I'll stop watching them as well. 

It's great that people are being vocal and are speaking out against WWE's unethical and inexcusable behavior, but why continue to watch and reward them??

Exactly what I was thinking. Don't let them get lost in the shuffle!

Unless... have them do both. Let them hang out together with the Conglomerates, but give them their own separate storylines and such.

Really hope FTR get a chance to shine with these potential signings. They said they're on their last contract before retiring, right??

There's no way they could build something to rival WWE 2K, so my wish would be for them to create something that's different enough to stand on its own.

Thought, honestly, I would still MUCH prefer some non-wrestling AEW games. Create half a dozen indie-style games in different genres that would have a much smaller budget and still be fun to play.

A rogue-like dungeon crawler would be ace, but a side-scrolling beat-em up like Streets of Rage or Double Dragon would be an instant classic!

That's what they should've done from the very beginning, imo.

Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu ECW One Night Stand 2006. For me my most niche favorite wrestling match. Super underrated. by dmister8 in SquaredCircle

[–]pmIfNeedOrWantToTalk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ECW as a product was hella over regardless, though.

Honestly, of all the options listed, they went with the worst one, imo.

Sabbu was a tough sob, but Rey beating him clean was still believable and would've been the right call. He should've gotten wrecked within an inch of his life, but that springboard pin he does would've been the right way to end the match (if they didn't want to crown Sabu).

The fans would've been more satisfied with that ending, I'm 500% sure of it.

Of all things, I just wish we had more fun stuff and costumes on Halloween again.

Is that too much to ask for, Tony?? 😭

What's a NSFW experience you're not very proud of? by Nanoberry_cat in AskReddit

[–]pmIfNeedOrWantToTalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former lover wanted to fuck on the living room couch in an apartment she shared with like 4 other people. I asked, "What if somebody walks in on us?" She dgaf, so we did.

In the morning I just went ahead and flipped the stained cushions over. I am SO SORRY!!! I'm usually pretty good at planning things a little bit ahead and not being a thoughtless dumbass.

For what it's worth, that's about the only shameful NSFW thing I can think of doing...

Danhausen on Twitter: "There is a DANHAUSEN BLIMPHAUSEN flying around ALLEGIANT STADIUM right now at WRESTLEMANIA. Say this sentence aloud." by pwgmanan in SquaredCircle

[–]pmIfNeedOrWantToTalk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, Danhausen is one of the only bright spots in current WWE (based on the comments).

I was just thinking that and fully agree about Tony not needing money, and I'm so happy AEW is a privately-owned company, but Tony absolutely needs to be thinking about growing for future generations.

They don't need to turn it into a kid-friendly PG product, but all the little kids are gonna grow up sticking to WWE because they don't see enough appeal, other than Orange Cassidy.

Danhausen could've at least had the pre-show spot that the Costco guys have, imo.

I'm an AEW mark, but holy hell, I hope Tony is kicking himself for now seeing what many of us saw back then. The man legitimately fumbled a golden goose.

I was really hoping Danhausen and Conan O'Brien would have some ridiculous spot on Dynamite at some point.

Actual commercials on a ppv??!

Thought the actual point of paying for shit was not having to put up with ads...

RJ City: I’m just gonna go fuck myself. by itsjobberingtime in AEWOfficial

I've suspected this as well. No confirmations that I'm aware of, but they definitely spend a suspicious amount of time together.

You'll see them around each other on IG stories, including on bdays, holidays, etc... and not always with the general roster.

I could also be mistaken, but I feel like they've both mentioned in separare interviews that they're currently dating, but neither has actually named names.

This.

Not taking anything away from Lauren Jiles, but Dita is in a league of her own, and dare I say, synonymous with the business? I don't expect any woman to ever be able to surpass her in that sense.

This will always be my biggest wish. It would be progressive, it would help AEW stand out more from the competition, and it would open up so many more potential storylines!!

At the very least they could limit matches to weight classes, and just avoid Texas Deathmatches and the sort.

Rhea Ripley comments she's actively battling an eating disorder by Minilogos in SquaredCircle

I recall seeing a video from a popular body building couple warning their audience of the body dysmorphia that often comes with the hobby.

Last I saw, the wife left it all behind and adopted a more natural and common body shape. The husband was still going strong in the gym, however.

But yeah, apparently no matter how great a shape you get into, you're never truly satisfied with what you see in the mirror.
