We aren't living 70+ years ago. Using cancer to get heat is fucked up and people, clearly, don't want to see that type of carnival bullshit anymore.
It still works in so many places. It's been constant for over seventy years, that means even 3 years ago, etc etc
also people are morons and still want old shit. did you see all the people who thought that dustin's blade job was a good thing? I'm all for using a little bit of color sparingly in the right places, but the people celebrating it were fuckin pitiful.
please let punk go
So we're clear: apparently for that last Shield appearance they paid him $500, the bare minimum they could legally get away with. That was all about trying to get one last little cash grab out of the Shield.
If people bought a PPV over someone mocking a cancer survivor who relapsed and faced CANCER again I hope they never breed and are removed from the gene pool.
Comparing an over the top blade job to mocking a cancer relapse is beyond the pale.

LMFAO you're the one with your head in the ground, sorry. Just like you were about all this AEW stuff all along. It's happening. Whether that's at all out or the TV debut in October.
Stop being blind to everything the Bucks and Cody and Kenny do, because they're pretty obvious about the stuff they set up in the future.
They have TSN Direct for Live Streaming
No idea if that'd be VOD though
I'm not comparing the two. Child, please
uh, what? I was excited for AEW, still am...do you have any idea who you're even talking to because it sounds like you have me confused with someone else. DoN was good. I was looking forward to it and $50 was steep but they delivered. I'm looking forward to their weekly show. Are you even on the right planet? Get it together.
I love ya, Sunny, but I don't have time for this.
Fuck WWE for turning cancer into an angle. Defend it all you want.

If I hadn't to compare anything in wrestling to using cancer for heat it was the Eddie-sploitation by Orton and Batista
I'm not, ya fuckin goon! God damn you, if you're trying to push my buttons and get me hot about it you won! you won god damn you!
Crazier shit goes on in Mexico, friend
Yeah, those transitions are terrible but its worth tuning in for this one.
Yup. When he did the Benoit one with Meltz it was the absolute worst. Just started talking about pizza.
He needs to listen to the conan podcast
I did not catch that one. Jeez, what a tonal shift
whatever it takes to get money
I still maintain there's a lot of main roster booking on NXT masked by incredible workrate
I'm with you on this, but I also think a lot of it is undercut by people being taken just because Vince needs new geeks.
My guest today just made a huge splash at AEW's premier pay-per-view event. You may know him as Dean Ambrose. Many fans have also known him as, and now know him as, JON. MOXLEY. That's right, we've got Jon Moxley coming up. But first, let me tell you about BARK BOX.
(no clue what ads he's doing these days)
Cool. Thanks! I really don't want to pay for a cable package again, but I do want to watch AEW on a regular basis. Haven't been excited about mainstream North American pro wrestling in years.
Someone did the math before the xfl stuff and they needed every share holder (including dunn) to even attempt it, I don't know if after the sales things changed.
Lol punk would draw but he alone isnt putting anyone out of business. Plus tna still exists so I doubt wwe is going anywhere anytime soon.
WWE is worth 7 billion dollars lol It ain't going anywhere . Like lets stop this aew vs wwe thing.
When I was at starrcast during the something to wrestle panel, bruce prichard pretty much said that the million dollar man character is vince so it wouldn't surprise me at all.
Friends, where did Jericho go to school for journalism?
How did SEAd end up with all the best champs? The Big Dog had her return match recently so there's a chance AA Impact will be back soon.
THANK THE HEAVENS.

Yes. If you read Ted Dibiase's book, vince sold ted on the idea by telling him it was an idea he'd come up with for himself, and that ted would travel first class all the way on vince if he did the gimmick.
Does MJF ever break kayfabe?
Seems like every encounter and interview with him, he can't shut it off.
I have so far not seen it and I think that's great. My favorite heel right now.
I guess this is before they discovered that all you needed for a Big Show tag team theme was to take the other guy's theme and randomly insert "BIG SHOW!!!" all over the place...
An the AIW podcast he let his guard down a bit, but otherwise yeah he's always on.
Well, I never said anything about going out of business. I'm sure they'll always have a footprint in some way. But I specifically said when things get bad enough that Vince possibly gets forced out. It is a publicly traded company after all, even if Vince does own a large portion of it.
And for sure, it's not happening anytime soon. AEW will have its share of problems down the road.
But they're clearly not invincible and they're propped up by those TV contracts and that Saudi money. If viewership continues to decline and their revenue drops just by virtue not being the only big name in town anymore, that fall will come faster than people think. Especially when that TV money bubble bursts. Bigger companies in bigger industries have failed before.
Just think about it. Who is watching the product now? It isn't really kids. The average age of viewers is super old now. So they're not really sustainably making new fans like they did before. I mean, we're proof positive of that.
His monopoly over the industry will continue to diminish and people need to wisen up to that regardless of AEW or not.
