Doesn't matter black excellence > team swirl
What does Brandi's domestic partner have to do with her identity as a woman of color?

And Private Party, Both Kongs, and Sonny Kiss (who is a fine wrestler and entertainer if some of you could get over your hyper masculinity hang ups) are all interesting in their own rights.
Any body that uses the term "of color" immediately gets bushed, and you can co-sign the little fakkit Sonny if you want but he's just another example of an emasculated black man.

Got curious about the next WWE PPV after SummerSlam (because I don't know why talking about the one 3 months out really matters right now), it's Clash of Champions in Charlotte, NC.

An official platinum front row ticket which is the best avaliable according to ticketmaster is $1,150 plus fees :dead:

WWE is charging the price of a front row ticket to Clash of Champions for the same price you could get 4 front row tickets (including 4 collector chairs) & 3 lower bowl tickets to this AEW show :why:

You know some brehs on here are of the belief that unless you're on some Lupe Fiasco all black everything shyt, you're a traitor, regardless of what your intents or accomplishments may be.

I keep telling myself their hearts are in the right place and execution is off, but shyt is corny sometimes.

Thank you for making it clear that some WWE stans are so pathetic, they're having to bust out the emergency aliases to pretend to be additional naysayers.

A deliberate attempt to create a false narrative, trying to sway opinions with artificial support.

Whoever they actually are, they deserve a ban for this Russian bot bullshyt here. Astroturfing piece of shyt.

Lol. Yes I lurk and read comments from time to time as I find this forum entertaining. Excuse me for not posting 10x a day. Its hilarious a forum tries to out your opinion because you don't have a SSN for a post count. But it's about being objective.

The facts are these. AEW has not ran consecutive events yet. We have seen shows once a month. That is not indicative of how things are going to be.

A majority of these fans are traveling fans. If they sell out on a regular, hey hats off to them and congrats. But in the long run if they're trying to cater to the "smarks", then Tony Khan will be in for a rude awakening. Hell half of ya'll too broke to order PPVs and try to post streams of em.

I'm all for more wrestling. I even bought Double Or Nothing. But catering to the neckbeards and not the general public is a horrible business move.

I call BS on lurking.

You are posting spirited, detailed essays downplaying AEW's success, yet we're supposed to believe you merely held your tongue for 3 posts in seven years?

You've tripled your post count in this thread alone, c'mon son.

Ya'll do know AEW and WWE are worked TV shows and it's possible to be objective? Yes, I will take 5 minutes out of my time and entertain myself in a debate on a hip hop forum that has a wrestling subforum. This shyt is not life and death for me.

Some shyt I've liked in AEW, a lot of it just eh. MJF needs to be their champion. Cody and Dustin was dope. Its blatantly obvious CM Punk has signed with them otherwise why put yourself through the drama by appearing at Starrcast. But the point being made that a lot of yall getting butt hurt about is its too early to gauge whether shyt is a great spin job by doing live events in gaps or are they gonna be real competition for Vince.

I’ll consider doing sellouts of major buildings with zero tv in ‘gaps’ to be a fluke when you can cite examples of it ever happening before. TNA had trouble selling tickets even when they had bigger show to show star power than WWE. They left ecw far in the dust already, and WCW took 7 years and the nwo to get to this point.

The only problem I see with AEW is there roster is mainly flippy unknown indy dudes and like a tiny amount of actual stars

I still think you're a reg using an alias to hide behind Devil's Advocacy, but your posts took actual effort, and I respect that enough to reply with this:

24/7 title, no wrestling during breaks, EVOLVE special on WWE Network countering Fight For The Fallen, RAW Reunion, FOX talking NXT to affiliates in conference calls

Whether you or I deem AEW competition is irrelevant, anyway. Vince, Trips, and Steph have already called them such.
