Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

Like I don't care that WWE exists, like I watch wrestling for shit like Ospreay and Takeshita did on the PPV, I don't get that in WWE, that's fine.
I was so completely wrong when I thought people wanted a viable alternative to WWE, what a bunch of people wanted was WWE to be 2% better and Vince to go away.
I dunno if it's nostalgia, I dunno if it's stan culture, but this idea that people who are WWE fans want zero alternatives and will spend hours a day bitching and moaning and wanting AEW to literally not exist is incredibly ridiculous behavior.
When have I ever said I want AEW to die? That's fucking retarded. I'm legitimately concerned it's headed down that path due to most metrics painting it as a stagnant promotion at best. [Reply]

Not you, the complete and total discourse that exists in wrestling online communities.
Like this is where we sit there, Will Ospreay has 2 really good matches...and now he "doesn't know how to sell" it's just laughable bullshit. [Reply]
Ospreay is actually what's broken me with Khan and his dog shit nonsensical booking. Let's take one of the hottest new faces, throw him in with Callus and his group of stooges, put him and Takeshita together for no reason, then do ithe whole scenario AGAIN, except with a complete Jobber in Fletcher, and sit with your dick in your hands afterwards wondering why Ospreay lost 100k viewers. Fucking idiotic waste of talent. [Reply]

AEW booking and storylines are bad. They should of jumped on D'Amore when he got fired from TNA. [Reply]

I think it really comes down to they put Ospreay in that group and now they have to get him out of it because well dude is more over than I think they expected.
On top of that Fletcher is good, he's 25, I know people fucking hate it but sometimes these guys do have to get matches. [Reply]

It's so damn frustrating because these guys are being taken for granted. Omega is one of my favorites to watch and he's relegated to Trios duty when he's not bed bound with all the shit he's done to himself. [Reply]

It's fucking horrible. Tony can't long term book his way out of a wet paper bag.
Large reason why CM Punk getting fired was a much bigger deal than it was made out to be. He was carrying Collision with something that resembled a proper product. [Reply]

:-) Swerve Strickland breaking into Hangman's house and threatening his child and he's currently the biggest face in the entire promotion because Hangman is such an unlikable putz and his manager does a funny dance. [Reply]
I get that people like Ospreay and that style....I just can't.
The epitome of the same 10 spots in every match, no selling, dangerous dumb shit that doesn't add anything of value outside of getting people to do dumb chants, etc.
I actually think he could be even better than how he's viewed now but he has his style and won't change... [Reply]

Please tune in for an announcement. Again. For the 34th week in a row.

It's true. Ospreay is excellent at that style but it pretty much throws all logic out the window and is going to significantly shorten his career. [Reply]
