The problem is, people like this conflate meaningless metrics like how long a ppv is, with the overall quality of the product. It would be one thing if the ppvs were ass AND 4+ hours, but that's not what's happening. These people don't really like professional wrestling, they like WWE slop.

I just listened to the Deadlock pod on that episode of Nitro lmao

We all know who, too.

Tomorrow always has the potential to be better.

You know what though? Russo is being honest, he hates wrestling. That's why there was so little of it in his booking. AEW isn't for him, it's for people who like wrestling.

I'll be honest, I think they already are, the industry media just won't say it.

All they needed to do was add an online creative suite and the game would still be active.

Oh for sure, the gameplay was fantastic, it just had zero depth.

One of my favorite things about AEW is how willing everyone is to help each other.

Well, Alvarez is a dumbass, so this tracks.

My buddy asked me last night what I thought AEW could do to get more mainstream exposure and my answer was "Nothing" because genuinely, they are already doing it. I did say that one thing that could potentially help would be a well made video game, but that's it.

Doesn't it though?

It's weird to me how so many fans miss the point of all those belts. She's overcompensating for not winning the world title. I agree with you, I think they see a story like this and immediately think Mercedes is politicking, as though these indie feds aren't happy to have her as champ.

Oh brother 🙄

We had neighbors back in my old neighborhood that had a different take on religious messaging during the holidays.

What happened?
