Muttering random thoughts into the void
The one thing I liked about ECW was all of the licensed (not knowing back then that to legally use them on TV, they'd have to pay for it) music they used as entrances.
So the fact that TK pays for the music to use legally makes them better.
Still boggles my mind that Tajiri used Prodigy.

In kayfabe, she's separating Jon Moxley (current Death Riders dictator) from Jonathan Good (Nora's dad) 🤣

I feel like Mox will get bagged at Worlds End, but not sure how it happens.
Mox could make it to the semis, but loses in his semi causing the bagging (Mox/Claudio would have to draw tonight)
Or both of them miss the semis because Mox loses his last C2 match resulting in a Claudio/Mox match at WE.

My perspective is that there is minimal overlap of "fans" that consume both the Fed and AEW, so it would surprise me if there was any overlap of TNA and AEW viewers.

Also, serious question, what is TNA's identity?

To me, the Fed is entertainment.

AEW is professional wrestling.

The sad thing is that as long as they continue to sell live tickets like they have been doing, they don't have any incentive to change.

It's amazing how many drones will defend Triple K's booking because they think TKO is pulling the strings. He is the real life Keyser Soze.
December 2, 2025 at 8:00 AM
Sadly these content creators have to "both sides" it because positive AEW content doesn't create enough clicks.

So to placate the Fed drones, they have to say "even AEW" when they say something negative about the Fed.

The funny thing is that the Fed themselves couldn't give two shits about them.

I feel like if TK was super petty, as a rib, he'd book Okada to miss the semis of the C2, take him off TV for a couple of weeks and bring him back as Okato if you know what I mean.
December 1, 2025 at 8:24 PM
The C2 final is another Swerve/Mox Dynasty moment for TK because the majority of the fan base thought Swerve was going over just like how the final will be Take/Okada

I think this time, he will "book" for the fanbase

Selfishly, I want Take/Okada II at Revolution for the Unified since it's in LA

I don't watch their content, but I'm 99.9% sure if that was a real quote, it probably came from Bubba Ray (refuse to call him by his other name).

Also, it's kind of funny because if you throw in "bro' about 9-10 times, that could be a Russo quote too.

Considering how nerfed Cagematch has gotten since the Fed fans learned about it a year or two ago, that is pretty impressive.

It always seems like Cagematch event & match ratings for AEW is anywhere from 0.25 to 0.5 lower than it would have been in the past because of it.
December 1, 2025 at 6:37 AM
In their defense (and sad to say), they only watch the Fed so, in their world, all wrestling does suck.
November 30, 2025 at 9:23 PM
Yup, it seems Meltzer talks about it more than Bischoff does (and not in a positive way) and Bischoff supposedly runs it.

It's almost like Bischoff does that on purpose to at least get someone of name value talk about his product.
November 30, 2025 at 9:27 AM
Triple hate thought he had copied TK's homework with a hooded figure interfere in the main event, but didn't finish watching Full Gear so didn't see that they ended the show with Swerve standing shoulder to shoulder with Hangman.

But I'm sure Theory is over with their fans like Swerve is with AEW 🤣
November 30, 2025 at 9:09 AM
As much as I hate to admit it, with each passing day we are getting closer to his retirement.

I am 100% for however Kenny wants to wind down his career to go out happy and healthy.

But I am somewhat selfish and would like to see Hangman retire him since they are 1 and 1 in AEW.
November 30, 2025 at 8:41 AM
It's funny that a lot if taking heads wants AEW to have the pre-tourney press conference to announce the participants in the C2 like how NJPW does the G1, but I like how TK is seemingly being a good partner by not copying what they do best.

I like that AEW does these post match vignettes though.
November 30, 2025 at 8:35 AM
TK gets a lot of flak from the talking heads about some of his booking decisions, but you can't say that he phones it in when it comes to pre-taped shows (i.e. Thanksgiving Collision) or PPV's

All Out 23 had the potential to be a total shitshow, but it's regarded as one of their best of all time
November 30, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Claudio winning the CMLL heavyweight title makes much more sense as to why he's facing Mox on Wednesday. I would've thought they'd have their 1v1 later in the tourney

Now I think OC faces Mox in his last tourney match and OC wins to keep Mox out of the C2 semis and Claudio getting in because of it
November 30, 2025 at 8:07 AM
I think I've seen just as many Blood and Guts (today) clips on the bad place as I have from the Pleh.

I saw a clip of the yeet man during wargames. If you told me that was AI, I would hope that's true if that's what you like because I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone I enjoy that type of product.
November 30, 2025 at 8:03 AM
I must have watched that Okada clip scolding Takeshita at Full Gear about Protostar's meltdown for losing the TNT title at least 20-25 times I laugh to the verge of tears every time I watch it.
November 30, 2025 at 7:51 AM
The ECW comp is the way I explain what AEW is for the people that I know that have some background knowledge of wrestling.
November 30, 2025 at 7:40 AM
It's only going to get worse with the deal they have with ESPN.

I try to be civil when non-wrestling people ask if AEW and the Fed are the same and struggle to come up with mainstream comparison.

Best I can think of is comparing a Chuck Lorre sitcom to a Vince Gilligan drama.
November 30, 2025 at 7:36 AM
I've become comfortable enough to tell people that ask when I tell them I still watch pro wrestling that it's AEW and not the Fed (since the most common response is "like WWF")
Most times they'll ask what the difference is but I've never come across anyone that has asked me why I don't watch the Fed
November 30, 2025 at 4:35 AM
It's funny because it's a "damned if you do and damned if you don't"
If you do the expected, most times, the talking heads will say it's boring and predictable.
If you do the unexpected, but not to their liking, then it's bad and they'll Monday morning quarterback it and find ways to call it bad.
November 30, 2025 at 4:27 AM
They could also go with:

Take/Okada final in the C2
Take beats Okada
Okada still main events WK
Tsuji still beats Take who would have won the G1, C2, and just beat Okada
Okada retiring Tana
Okada/Take 2 for the Unified at Revolution
Okada gets his win back
Okada/Take 3 for the AEW title in 2027.
