It took place on a football field and started with a cowboy riding onto the field on a horse to chase someone. We saw 100 yards of continuous northern lights suplexes and Matt Hardy drowning and changing gimmicks after each reemergence. Id rather them not sell that as serious and let Cody do the serious wrestling stuff.

As for Boogeyman... REALLY?! :comeon:

That's the point, it's corny as fukk and keeps AEW from reaching beyond anything but neckbeards.

And yes, Boogeyman.

Even if I was in AEW, I wouldn't shyt on the gimmicks if I'm one of their fellow workers.

Santino was literally shytting on his coworker's gimmick in public in front of fans

That shouldn't be tolerated, regardless of how stupid the gimmick is.

I mean, we suspend belief in things like movies & TV shows and video games that we know are fake, right?

Why wouldn't you be able to do that with pro wrestling

This is really a dumb argument because movies and TV exist. Jim is right on the money with what's wrong with modern wrestling.

People like the young bucks are fukking nerds who aren't funny. That's why they do stupid meta ironic jokes. These guys are obsessed with irony, just like every cac. They can't admit it either cause how else would those chinless nerds ever get over? They could never be taken serious as tough guys.

The AEW Product Has Tremendous Upside But Jim Is Somewhat Right In That Every Thing Is Treated As A Joke On Their Show

I Don’t Think Hes Worried About Exposing The Business, I Think His Issue Is More Of The Overuse Of Slapstick Bullshyt Makes It Impossible For You To Feel Something Watching

If You’re Watching SVU And On The Way To Chasing A Perp, Benson Falls Down A Manhole And Comes Up With A Banana Peel On Her Head With The :francis: Face You’re Gonna Be Taken Out The Story And Think “WTF Is This Goofy shyt!?” It’s Not About Exposing SVU Is Fake, We Know It’s Fake, But Theres A Time And Place For Goofy shyt

There Were 10 Top Guys In That Stadium Match, If They All Act Like Goofs Who Should We Take Serious?

I Didn’t Catch The Full Match BTW But I Think That’s The Point Hes Trying To Make

The Stadium Stampede match was entertaining imo, but I think they're doing too much goofy sh1t right now all the time.

I agree witg not liking the ODing on goofball CACness, but the Bucks could get over like the Rock n Roll Express and Rockers got over.

It was over the top fun and I thought it was great. Wrestling is at its best when it doesn't take itself too seriously all the time, be serious when it calls for it and be goofy when it calls for it. Cornette is just one of the many old white guys that wants wrestling to be what it used to be, and that's a bunch of out of shape white guys in trunks who can barely move while being heralded as great athletes.:russ:
