All-Purpose News Thread Part II

I barely watch it, so you wont...so many storyline make no sense, the characters don't appeal to me

I'm not home on Fridays so I never watch smackdown

I like trick and Melo and what they're doing there, but I absolutely cannot stand Booker on commentary, so I can't watch much NXT. Stratton will be an amazing star if they don't mess it up

The people I do like, they aren't pushing

And quality deflection by not addressing the point

I mean, I do not disagree that many storylines do not make sense, but it does not seem to bother you in AEW

They put on good matches...and with wrestlers I enjoy watching in the ring

I do at least own up on where they fail or are lacking...not like I am only beating their chest for them

you have a point tho...

Oh, yeah, the weekly wrestling matches are much more enjoyable in AEW. No doubt about it.

If you barely watch, how would you know anything about the characters and storylines?

Honestly after stopping watching WWE completely in the last 5 years when I even attempt to tune in when I hear about something good the dog shit camera work makes it a no go within like 10 minutes lol it never used to be an issue but I can't ignore it anymore for whatever reason.

Personally I can't stand the "stage" and lights in modern wresting. it feels like I am in a late 80s arcade.

Stop deflecting..

Stop deflecting..

Nope, been long enough on this site to know how to operate on it. I've mastered the art of deflections now.

This isn't some kinda flex the way you think it is.

People in WWE believe MJF has already resigned with AEW through 2027 and that any talk of free agency is just kayfabe storylines

I can't imagine Tony would let MJF talk openly about his contract situation, and float the idea of leaving, unless a deal was already done.

Plus just at face value the idea that he got a new deal paying him significantly more money....but added no extra time onto his existing deal made absolutely no sense.

Wonder how many people here know that right now CMLL is the best thing in all of pro wrestling?

Based on the last year of performance by each company, bad move on his part.

So Sasha/Mone is going to get three Brinks trucks backed up to her house now that an arms race is on

Wwe doesn’t need her. At all. I don’t think they should even table an offer.

They didn't need Punk either though.

Nope, they have mami now.

I think the eyes this brings over far outnumber what Sasha Banks would. Especially given the circumstances of Punks aew exit.

They don’t need Punk, but I think this has the chance to be catastrophic for Tony unless he suddenly learns to write.

How is this going to be catastrophic for Tony? Genuinely curious. AEW isn't going to die because Phil is back in WWE. Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised lol AEW has been about to die for like 4 years now!

If Turner wants to get involved in Raw, it may already be.

I have considered myself more of an AEW fan than WWE over the years. I’m not blind to the last year though. The crowd sizes are telling. I see this Punk moving just tipping the scales deeper and deeper.

I also believe that WWE has been good due in large part to the sudden rise of AEW.

I do not think Punk joining WWE takes eyeballs away from AEW. AEW's booking being shitty and their lack of overall discipline is what has been putting them behind the 8-ball.

I have been watching less and less AEW, and will one hundred percent be watching Raw tomorrow night.

I’m just one guy, sure, but this move definitely puts some extra eyes on WWE in the short term. If they don’t (they being wwe and Punk) f*** it up maybe the short term gets extended quite a bit.

Guys I’m not saying this puts aew out of business. It’s just really poor timing for all of this to be happening if you’re in Tony Kahn’s chair.

I think WWE getting hot has done more to cool AEW than any individual bad booking decision. I mean end of the day AEW is still going to have a successful year and just have to kind of ride it out.
