the reason wrestling is less good now is not because everyone knows wrestling is fake, it's because wrestlers don't want to bother to pretend it's real

it's really funny when people say that the internet killed kayfabe or whatever and that's why wrestling can't be good now because if you watch newsreels from the 1930s they're like "and now let's check in on pro wrestling, that fake gay sport that's just a bit of fun!"

So @WWE copyrights all of our clips for night 1, goes into our twitch channel to post a reaction of Brock Lesnar’s retirement when we NEVER posted a reaction clip to it.
We’re the one of the only streamers (if not only) that do NOT post Brock clips. Haven’t since his return.
That was purposely framed in a very disingenuous way. What a shitty thing to do.

If you insist that everything wrong with WWE is TKO's doing, then you cannot praise anything that's on WWE TV without praising TKO's creative decisions.
WrestlePurists@WrestlePurists
“First of all, [TKO] has complete control. So we’re responsible, good and bad, fact or fiction, — Having Hollywood tie-ins and celebs and stars, and Logan Paul, Pat McAfee, Mark Wahlberg shows up and does his thing, Tyrese Haliburton last year got in a fight in the ring with Jalen Brunson of the Knicks, that’s not new. It’s just on a larger stage. And we’re spending a lot more money to market the brand and market the content. And when you do that, you’re gonna win some folks over, but you’re also gonna chase some folks away. They don’t like this or they don’t like that. This is too expensive or, ‘Oh my God, to watch the WWE, I gotta buy Netflix which costs this much, I gotta watch SmackDown on USA, I gotta do that, I gotta have CW so I have to have cable. And now I have to pay for ESPN.’ And you can make some enemies really quickly. I was just reading something today that if you want to watch the Yankees games this year, the full season through the playoffs, you’ll have to watch them across 10 platforms at the cost of a thousand dollars when you add up everything you have to buy to see them. That’s just the way of the world today.”

Ojalá los encuentren y les cobren porque eso no debería... Espera... cómo que la empleada tuvo que cubrir la cuenta? 🤨
José Díaz@JJDiazMachuca
Pisa y corre de ratas. Cuatro jóvenes terminan de comer tranquilamente, la mesera les sirve con toda la amabilidad… y en cuanto ella se distrae un segundo, se levantan y se van sin pagar ni un peso. Al final, la empleada tuvo que cubrir toda la cuenta de su propio bolsillo. ¿Quién educa a esta clase de personas? Jóvenes que roban el esfuerzo de quien trabaja honradamente para llevar el pan a su casa. Que circule el video. Que alguien los reconozca. Que paguen lo que deben y sientan la vergüenza que merecen.

@punkinomenon And this audience doesn't really appreciate it. So why bother.

You idiots dont realize this is why Iyo is a professional. She legitimately puts herself on the line when it counts but she comes out okay because she’s a PROFESSIONAL. All these years of The Miz made you forget wrestling is supposed to look physical, and like it actually hurts
English
Iyo really needs to stop doing this ASAP. As in, she needs to stop doing sick shit like this for an audience that’s gonna be too worried about being safety police to acknowledge how sick it is

Iyo got right back up thankfully but that was frightening #WWERAW

While AEW isn't as popular as it was in 2021 (alot of those circumstances are never going to be able to be replicated again)
They are in a very comfortable spot right now. They can basically go into any top 100 metro area and have 3000+ fans come out to a tv taping and any top 25 metro area and do between 8-12k for PPV. TV ratings and PPV buys are holding steady and in some cases growing.
AEW to TNA just isn't a comparison, they are miles apart in every aspect of the game

To say AEW isn't strong is a choice.

@CourtneyDagger @DanL9t8t3 Think about how long it took Balor to finally turn on the JD, multiply that by 10 and you'll get the aproximate time it will take for her to turn on Asuka

@DanL9t8t3 Sure maybe next week or the week after or next year or never

Iyo cares so much about Kairi that she will just happily dig the knife in further and further and further 🙂

@CreatureLives Yeah, like Iyo is really the villain here if you think about it for more than a second. That's how bad this story has been put together
English

It's so weird to me how Asuka is made the villain because she slaps Kairi (which isn't good) but IYO gleefully gets in the ring with Kairi (who she knows doesn't want to wrestle her) and does way more damage to her.
Asuka loses her temper. IYO finds it fun.
Who is more evil?

Most of them were bullied unmercifully by Dynamite Kid and the Steiner Brothers, though.
Bret said in his book that he had to tell Scott Steiner "come on you're better than that" when he caught Scotty slapping Dink's bald head like he was Benny Hill!
Cumshotlariat@Dnellicious
Honestly, WWE have employed more little people than Peter Dinklage has helped in his entire career which is really quite crazy when you think about it.

This is obviously insane but this was the playbook during the first red scare so it's important to remember it has happened before.

WCW did have fans like this. It's why nearly 3 million of them never watched wrestling again when it was bought by Vince McMahon.
GNB | PSYPATRA SZN@BarrettGoodNews
No other wrestling promotion on earth can play in their audiences faces all year, only to be forgiven for throwing them a bone once. If WCW had fans like this, they'd still be in business.

You can tell in this clip that Asuka knows it’s cooked but doesn’t want to be a downer
