J.R. Admits AEW still has too much flippy flip stuff for his taste

[JerseyBoy23]

No, it's not new anymore.... but what's left? Bloodsport?

I'll admit, though. American Wrassling could use some NJPW style hossfighting.

Imagine JR calling Lucha Underground matches

It would be even more trippier because the crowd and announcers never knew what was happening backstage. Like one day Cage showed up with a magical glove and Striker and Vampiro just took it a face value.

I remember JR asking Excalibur why is Emi Sakura a legend in Japan so I can already hear him saying, "now are we sure that man has really died 1000 times, that seems like a lot."

Edit: Now I want to watch season 1 on Tubi.

Yo why I read that in JRs voice in my head

WWE is like this also from my observations no psychology at all.

 

[Homer Simpson]

psychology is dead. wrestling is just high spots compilations now.

 

[TOAD99]

I’m no AEW mark, but this is also a WWE problem

and honestly most of wrestling

That’s why I barely watch anymore, shyt is just too choreographed
NJPW is where it’s still at

View media item 12442I was telling some of these jabronis just last week that they need some big powerhouse guys to balance it out & bring variety.

The high flying stuff used to be a novelty back in the rvd, Sabu, Hardy Boyz, Rey Mysterio days, but now it's ordinary & half of the time unnecessary.

Ain't many tall or powerhouse guys around in the business. It's the reason guys like Cain can come in to WWE so easily.

Why is he volunteering stuff like that? His whole AEW run he randomly says shyt like this that just reinforces that he's not into this and is just taking marks' money.

 

[The G.O.D II]

JR should have never been hired. His work in NJPW and other places shows he clearly doesn’t give a fukk about the current product.

True but a disingenuous JR is still better than whatever Marvez was doing before. Hopefully they phase him out for GoldenBoy.

Get this nikka outta here

 

[Hey_zeus]

He's lucky people still care about his name. He has no business on his role at this point in his life.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

He needs to worry about getting Jungle Boy's name right before saying anything

 

[Rayzah]

He went off on the guy that called him out about this. Like he wanted five minutes with that guy.

and too his point it’s not a big deal, people be nitpicking and trying to make it a big deal just to support their narrative.

this was a good podcast because good ole JR wanted all the smoke. He was going in on “people power” (Johnny ace) he went in on the flippy shyt, backstage politics, and a whole lot more.

"Are they doing too many flips and flops for my taste? Yeah they are to be honest with you, they sure are. But they're weaning themselves off that a little bit because that type of wrestling is not new and fresh anymore. How many times have you seen a 450 [splash]? A 620 [splash]... Now it's not new anymore. It's not new!"

at saying their weaning themselves off like the next time the Bucks have a match they ain't going to be flying all over the place.

JR talking about that style not being new like there is anything really left to go into that hasn't been done to death other than heavy grappling like a Tim Thatcher. Even then you get a couple guys doing that too much & it's going to fade quick because people aren't going to watch that on TV.
