lol @ anyone taking Chris Jericho's Twitter seriously

Or anyone's Twitter at all, for that matter. It's unfortunate Musk hasn't managed to send it into the ether yet.

Sounds like Jake the Snake got the email directive :rofl:

No one takes Chris Jericho’s Twitter seriously. In fact, no one takes Chris Jericho seriously at all.

Social media could be such a useful tool. Very few people have worked out how to use it though.

Forgot some of these people were on the roster tbh

Booker of the Year. Although it’s possible their website just hasn’t been updated since August.

A gigantic man is sucking the life force of a guy who smells a fart, a dude who saw his first naked lady, a guy who would rather be riding a tank right now, a dude I wouldn't trust around small children, and some dude whose face looks like it is poorly photoshopped onto his own body.

I can’t recognize some of those people and it looks like an advertisement for a terrible gay porno. AEW sucks.

FEDBAD HUNTERBAD CIAMPABAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

FTR have jumped the shark with me. I don’t know when it happened, but it was before the Double Dog Collar. They’re talented guys, you just don’t care because…AEW.

Are you two breathing fumes as well as running on them?

Wrestling’s in a deep hole it is going to have a lot of trouble climbing out of, dude. Deal with it.

Pretty sure the AEW wrestlers are the ones that suddenly started going full FEDBAD again. One FEDBAD out of nowhere might not have caught my attention, but between Vickie and Jake and Jericho and FTR, well sticking with your analogy, where there is smoke, there is fire.

I have long believed that at best it was AEW employees complaining about WWE to keep their manchild cashcow boss happy enlugh to keep writing checks, and at worst they are doing FEDBAD on his direct orders.

Either way, the sudden increase in frequency certainly feels like their boss reminded them to get out there and bury The E as much as possible, no matter how ridiculous the reason.

you are the dumbest motherfucker

You just made Stickman a happy lady

Or you are just too biased to see the truth. None of the recent FEDBAD complaints make any sense unless you badly want to believe FEDBAD, logic be damned.

am i biased? can you back that up with anything?

if you can find me FEDBADDING as much or more than i LOLAEW i'd love to see it

I would point to your previous point. Who gets that upset over a wrestling forum post?

am i upset? or just pointing out how much of a dumb motherfucker you are?

<div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="24557919" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.49533" data-width="50%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/gotcha-funny-gif-24557919">Gotcha Funny GIF</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/gotcha-gifs">Gotcha GIFs</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"></script>

Getting upset over me pointing out AEW doing FEDBAD is pretty much the same as doing FEDBAD yourself.

I can't point out clear FEDBAD without you defending FEDBAD, because FEDBAD!

You can't even defend your position, other than name calling. That is not an argument Ron, that is you getting emotional for no other reason than I questioned the motive of what the AEW employees are saying.

like your buddy noid said i'm not here to discuss things with you baby boy

LOL I don't know, you just positive repped me about the Last of Us yesterday, you agreed with me then. Maybe it has nothing to do with me, but your bias towards FEDBAD, hmmmm? :yes:

but i've never said FEDBAD? nor is that how i feel anymore strongly than AEWBAD? just keep creating the narratives my dude.

i just like to have fun with wrestling not turn it into a fucking nightmare GOTCHA past time to make myself feel good

That FTR video is barely even critical of WWE or HHH. It’s just one dudes take. He goes out of his way to say that they were presented on par with “HHH Guys” despite not being “HHH Guys” themselves.

You can overblow the level of FEDBADing going on and have Noid jump in to indirectly back it up despite not watching the video himself but then your bias might show a little too much.

You say that, but explain getting so fired up about it that you needed to personally attack me, not attempt to refute the points, but reacted quite emotionally over my interpretation of AEW employees going out of their way to complain about WWE.

Triple H asked how Ciampa was doing after an injury, but did not ask FTR bald, because god forbid Triple H doesn't have the exact same personal relationship with two different people. Nevermind he is talking about something that happened 6-7 years ago, when it is time to put out more FEDBAD content, there is no timeframe, just get the story out!

And like I said, the oddity is the sudden frequency at which AEW people are again complaining about random stuff from the other company.

oh my GOD you are fucking stupid

have fun!

So you can't admit you responded overly emotional for no logical reason, so just double down. When I say something you agree with, I am good. When I say something you disagree with, well Fuck My Stupid Self. Good argument Ron

i've called you stupid many times before this. so you said one thing i didn't consider yesterday. broken clock, twice a day, you get it.

"emotional"

Name calling is not a cheat code to win an argument, it is a signal that there can be no respectful discourse. So be it.

i'm not trying to win an argument you dumbass

Nope, you just want to defend AEW. I am sure Tony Khan will send you a thank you note.

have i defended AEW? or just called you a stupid motherfucker? are you capable of basic comprehension? you keep trying to make this an argument it isn't.

you're an obsessive little weirdo and i'd call you the same if your obsession was with vince or anyone else/any other promotion. nothing to do with TK or AEW.

Technically you defended AEW personnel's shitty FEDBAD takes as not having any possibility of being fake and just them complaining at the behest of their boss. You failed to explain that whatsoever, and just responded by hurling insults.

I say they are complaining to complain, time to put new FEDBAD out there, and not because it is genuine.

You I assume disagree, but again I am just going by your emotional insult replies. I am meeting you more than halfway though, because you are right, you have not actually said anything to articulate the cause of your anger. Maybe you are not mad and defending AEW, maybe you just do not understand what has you so impassioned to come to their aid with somebody (me) questioning the reason for the renewed FEDBAD complaints being made.

consider this is me calling you a dumb motherfucker for cumulative reasons and not just this one instance? like i'm the boiler in the shining and i can let that pressure build but sometimes i gotta let some steam out or the whole building will explode?

Good to see AEW doing house shows. feels like another good step to increasing the brands reach, testing new markets etc. I'm a bit surprised it took this long but I assume the pandemic era played a part in the delay.

I will be curious to see what sort of cards they offer and if its a development type roster doing the House shows or some upper talent. With the roster depth they have you could certainly have your stars work shows and still have a lightish schedule.

Makes my chances of seeing them in person higher next time in the U.S. which is cool for me.

King ron out here making thick in xrods warm

lolllllllllllll those vickie guerrero posts were fake

The Internet: https://i.imgur.com/DAyRhLO.png

Yeah but she still killed Eddie and then desecrated his grave just to FEDBAD.

I concede this is just a ridiculous take from Jake “The Bad Take” Roberts. Even in a best read of this, Khan has the benefit of seeing everything WWE/Vince have done for 30 years and you’re able to learn from what worked and what didn’t and what choices you’d make that differed. It’s not like Tony is this wrestling savant (although he is clearly on the spectrum) and is Booker of the Year (obviously).

Saraya tweeted a picture of herself wearing an Office “Prison Mike” shirt and Ringside News called her out for it as it was obviously a FEDBAD.

Cumdorx is running Ringside News.

If Jake has said it then you know it can’t be true.

I came back just for this feud.

Jake also recently said Kenny Omega is better than Ric Flair or Shawn Michaels ever were, because you know, Tony said more FEDBAD, and Jake likes his paycheck.

I hope it's paycheck. Otherwise, DDP May have to go get him again.

I don’t understand how AEW could fuck up this MJF/Bryan Danielson story so bad.

Just found out that Orange Cassidy is an AEW Champion, holding a belt I never heard of, and that he beat PAC for it.

I get that it is a tertiary title that isn't important at all, but.... don't make a guy like PAC hold it in that case, and certainly don't make him lose to Orange Cassidy.

Don’t worry, they’ll make up another new belt and put it on PAC shortly.

I’ve never understood the “Orange Cassidy draws and sells merchandise” argument. They’re getting <1 million viewers and have sold maybe a few thousand t-shirts. That sort of shtick caps your audience. For everyone that eats up the act, there are 9 people who remember why they don’t waste their time with wrestling.

AEW should just have a singles, tag and women’s title. The All-Atlantic, TNT, TBS and six-man can be binned and no one would be hurt.

If you want to spotlight shitty tags, run a six-man tournament every year. Done.

Skeptical of AEW doing house shows. They have a lot of talent that needs to get better, but I’m not sure they only need reps. They might need an entirely different environment to change how they think about wrestling. You might have more injuries and they may chew up some of their markets. There aren’t exactly deep reservoirs of fans willing to go to these shows — it’s the same people, hence why they can only run some markets once a year.

That being said, if Jeff Jarrett’s booking them and they end up as their own little universe, they could be better than AEW proper. It wouldn’t surprise me if when Tony Khan has a mental breakdown, Jeff Jarrett ends up running the whole show. That’s if he doesn’t make himself too many political enemies before then by outshining AEW.

Granted I don't watch, but I do like the concept of a secondary title for the men. Women certainly don't need two belts.

I just can’t wrap my head around what that belt means in kayfabe. Like…what is it? It’s helped absolutely no one. If you didn’t have it, there might be more of a need to push some of the guys you’re trying to placate with it up the card. Darby may not feel so stale, Joe could be cutting money promos, etc. It boxes you in more than it opens you up.

Cody wanted something. Righto, give him a tournament win. Their equivalent to a King of the Ring. He can be awarded a belt for that. He could have won it in 2019 and 2020 to establish it, put over Darby in 2021 and Wardlow could have won it last year. That would probably have helped out those guys more than being TNT Champion does/did.

You can book a secondary title well, obviously. But they don’t and they won’t, so it’s just a pragmatic thing to get rid of it. But the concept of the belt was just so…arbitrary to me. Like they felt like they had to create something because hardcore fans are marks for the IC Title still.

It also doesn’t help that they’ve used other companies’ belts on their TV too, diluting things even more. You had the Impact World Title floating around there for a while. I’m not sure if he’s using it on TV, but Omega is also the IWGP US Champion. It’s going to be a barrier of entry for some people, because it’s just too much. Championships should make your product easier to navigate, not harder. “Oh, that guy’s a champion, he must be a really good wrestler.” You’ve got 8 men’s slots for ROH (too much), 8 for AEW and the IWGP US takes that up to 17 fucking men’s belts. And then you’ve got to factor in that opens up the rest of New Japan’s belts too. Yuck.

Get rid of TNT, ROH TV, ROH Pure (use Pure Rules as a gimmick sometimes), all six-man belts. Unify the AEW and ROH Women’s and just call it the “Women’s World Championship.” TBS goes bye-bye. As funny as it sounds, I’d hear out keeping the All-Atlantic as something to defend at the house shows. Just get it off Orange Cassidy. MAYBE recognize the IWGP US as part of your New Japan partnership, because it’s a regional US Title and that can sometimes give you a bonus PPV title match or something.

I’d honestly consider bringing the AEW and ROH Tag Titles together too. And the World Titles for that matter. Honestly, why are they even doing ROH? There no reason for Tony Khan to have two wrestling promotions. His purchase of ROH should lead to a unification.

That's why I said I like the concept of a secondary title. I guess secondary titles haven't actually meant squat anywhere for quite some time....

I'm stuck living in the past thinking about guys like Rock/Austin/HHH fighting and feuding over the IC belt and being built up big before moving up to the next level.

WWE’s done fine with theirs. They’re trying, and have been for a long time, even if cynical snarks want to deny it. Gunther seems to be en route to legit being one of the more accomplished IC Champions ever. It’s just not realistic to put a secondary belt on a guy and go “see, he’s going places” if you don’t actually send them places, which is the problem with AEW. They think there’s something magic about holding gold because of the belt mark mentality.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence Adam Page decided to sabotage CM Punk when he was set to lose the belt, and Britt Baker unleashed the harpies on Thunder Rosa once she was champion.

The TBS title is the worst one. They made it because WBD had them switch networks, that is it! Then they put it on the female who looks like an absolute killer. Instead of her wanting to go after the main Women's title, her character is undefeated, dominate, and just happy to have a meaningless title.

They have the AEW title, TNT title, TBS title, All Atlantic title, tag titles, trios titles, FTW title, Dynamite Diamond Ring, Men's Owen Hart tournament champion, women's Owen Hart tournament champion, Casino Ladder Match winner, Casino Battle Royale winner, plus 5 additional AEW roster members who are ROH champions.

That is WAY too many accolades. How can they expect the audience to care about any of those when 60% of the people on the show all have some kind of title?

Oh wow, I forgot all about the FTW Title.

Maybe they should just double-down and create a set of FTW Tag Titles for Hook & Jungle Boy. Start up a whole new promotion around the concept: Famous Tony’s Wrestling.

Jungleboy and Hook are done now though from what I heard. Hook will prob move onto someone else for the next month so TK can come up with some new HOOK_______ name for him and then have him disappear for several months again before coming back to form _______HOOK with yet another person. Rinse, repeat.

Member when they teased Hookhausen for months and finally Danhausen won him over and they came together and everyone loved it and then Hook randomly disappeared and came back and was suddenly in Junglehook and apparently has nothing to do with Danhausen for no apparent reason now?

Is Danhausen still around, or is he being punished for being Punk’s pal? But yeah, more masterful storytelling from AEW.

I’m actually going to be surprised if SkyHook isn’t a thing at some point. You just need to bring Scorpio back as a babyface.

https://i.imgur.io/5Wed8_d.webp?maxw...idelity=medium

Hookasaurus

Should have Hook develop multiple personalities, one a face and one a heel. When he's a face he teams with Perry to form JungleHOOK. When his heel personality takes over he teams with Luchasaurus in HOOKasaurus. This ends up in a feud where both teams face off with Hook randomly spazzing out and switching personalities/teams multiple times during the match.

Jerichohausen was formed on the Jericruise. Jericho came out dressed exactly like Danhausen, face paint and everything.

DAMNIT I had like 20 teams, and JerichoHausen wasnt on my list. I feel like CM Punk's UFC career :'(

Would clearly be JeriHausen

In most cases, sure, but at this point Jericho's ego could not handle his name being shortened :rofl:

Jericho would just be schmoozing up for allies.

:rofl:

LOL I knew Tony Khan played EWR!!! Hell yes.

There’s not a whole lot there that has me “tuning in”.

That’s a very flat card. It’s not even fun to point out how flat it is.

Noid demands more man-boobs

PPV caliber card lmao. That's a good one.

Early TNA cards were on PPV, right?

He's ready to take a s***, huh?

I don’t know why I do this to myself, but I listened to a clip from Dave Meltzer talking about how smart Tony Khan is and comparing him to Eric Bischoff. He’s lost so many marbles.

Or he's smart enough to market himself to his audience

His audience being Tony Khan in this case. He is smart enough to stroke the ego of a fragile manchild to ensure he stays in good standing with the said manchild. Dave keeps the moneymark happy so he can continue reaping the benefits of his access to Shad's checkbook.

That stuff’s out there forever. You’ve got to compete with that bad take later when you want a good one.

I think you are giving wrestling fans and wrestling "journalists" too much credit there.
