Yeah, I know he's the TNT champ. That's the equivalent to WCW TV champion title...held by guys like Jim Duggan. And maybe the equivalent to the defunct European champ in WWF.

I mean, he should be in the world title picture. I get the Orange Cassidy thing, but he shouldn't be in world title matches.

No it's not. The TNT title is treated as a big deal. It's the secondary title that was held by Cody, Brodie Lee and Darby. It has never been treated as a joke like how WCW treated it at the end. It's basically a homage to the old NWA TV title, which is synonymous for being the workhorse title. It was defended on almost every television because the guy holding the title was usually one of, if not the best, in-ring performers in the company that wasn't necessarily in the main event picture. Guys like Arn, Tully, Regal, Austin & Steamboat made that title. In fact, the original TNT belt was made to look like the OG title that Arn use to carry with the red leather.

So WWE can get every TNA and ROH reject under the sun and nobody bats an eye but AEW gets a few guys who left WWE just to go to AEW and it’s a problem? I’m still not getting this “AEW is getting too many WWE guys” thing, who do you want them to sign?

That's the stupid thing about this. WWE literally had a strangehold over the wrestling industry for 20 years. They had/have the largest roster in wrestling. Anyone who has any sort of talent in wrestling was signed to WWE at some point and is a "former WWE guy."

Agreed on Miro being a blah handle even though it's his real name. Needs a Magnificent in front of it or something

WWE got Rusev over as a major heel, then again with the wildly popular Rusev Day stuff. He should be better than he is in AEW. Instead he's basically just a guy. A guy named Miro. "Miro" doesn't pop for me.

Was your head in the sand between the time Rusev was fed to the InCenarator and Rusev Day (which if it were up to WWE it wouldn't have gotten over but it did so on its own) and from Rusev Day until he got to AEW? There's several years where they did jack shyt with him and his last storyline, since you may have a little amnesia, was a storyline that had him as a controlling sex addict which would have seen him be the butt of ED jokes had the pandemic not forced roster cuts. He hasn't lost a singles match yet in AEW and the only loss he was involved with, Kip Sabian took the pin.

As far as the TNT title, despite what one half of the Two Stooge Power Trip says, the title was created as a suggestion by the network, not for Cody Rhodes' ego. While it was a ridiculous name to begin with (even more ridiculous now that they're going to TBS and supposedly not changing the name), the belt has Main Evented multiple Dynamites and thus far anyone that's held it has been booked strong.

“Bu bu bUt MiRo HaS tHe TnT BeLt”

:mjlol: That belt don’t mean shyt


It was solely created to stroke Cody’s ego.

not to mention they’re moving to fukking TBS in a few months.

as far as why aew isn’t as good as it should be.. What else you expect with the fukking money mark being head booker.

It’s always the same dudes, making the same threads, saying the same shyt. Stop watching AEW and stop hoping they’ll give you a product you’ll want to watch. I stopped watching WWE programming altogether and never shyt on their shows, or critique them. It’s not a difficult thing to do.

My god AEW fans are so soft skinned :gucci:

This subforum is built upon criticising and shytting on WWE (and rightfully so). You can go in every other subforum and see people talking about music, films, tv and video games they don't like. But anytime someone dares criticise AEW ya'll are like "stop saying mean things about my favorite wrestling company :mjcry:"

If you love AEW then Godspeed, i'm happy for you. But we all don't have to pretend we fukk with it just cause it's an alternative to Cokeboy's bullshyt. And yes some are bad faith trolls, but I speak as someone who doesn't fukk with WWE on any level, that AEW (IMO) is for the most part more of the same WWE sports entertainment corny product that sprinkles in some indie bullshyt and forced Jim Crockett era nostalgia.

I think it's a weak product. I sincerley want to see them succeed but the shyt isn't good. And I'll call it out just as I would any other weak product. Ya'll need to not take this shyt so personally. Ya'll can still enjoy AEW. Not everyone has to like it.

Like I said if two years in, the product doesn’t appeal to you it never will. I’m not telling any of you dense muthafukkers to like it but why watch if as you say it’s “a weak product”? Why do you waste your time? You don’t fukk with WWE “on any level” why can’t you do the same with AEW?

I haven't watched it regularly in about a year. But I'll check in every so often to see if it's got any better or see some clips on twitter and I'll comment on what I see.

Get over it you fukking cry baby.

:mjlol: Who typed out a couple paragraphs about a product they “haven’t watched in a year” yet calls it weak. Again, why waste your time.

You know what I'll take that back. I will stop posting any criticisms of AEW going forward. I didn't realise it had such a negative effect on your mental health.

Post all the criticisms you want, it’s your time to waste.
