That reactionary ass tit for tat rhetoric is destroying this site man

It's not tit for tat though. You understand what hypocrisy is... I bet you don't fukk with people who are hypocrites in your daily life, so why would you waste time on that shyt online?

This site is usually fun to post on. TSC has fallen off because most of the better posters don't post here anymore and the rest want to engage in stan wars.

I’m still tripling down on having ya own energy instead of trying to match some imaginary reaction you think the other side would have in an alternative universe where the roles are reversed

I just don't understand the logic of having to keep an equal 50/50 split of criticism for things of totally different levels of success. Am I supposed to criticize Patrick Mahomes and Tua an equal amount? If "bad booking" isn't affecting business much then it's like...who really cares? I wouldn't have taken the titles off Jade and Bianca already but I don't think anybody is gonna stop watching Raw or skip out on buying tickets because of the women's tag team titles

Also... how many posts do you and others have in not only Max's "Stinks" thread or the thread I created or the OTHER thread that was created after that one?

You are throwing stones while living in a glass house on here breh Even those threads were supposed to be fun but people wanted to start choosing sides

Are you watching "Who Killed WCW?" They spent 15 minutes talking about how Sting wasn't put over clean by Hogan and how that was a signal for things to come..

That was December 1997.

You know what happened in 1998? WCW did record business. Let me repeat. They did record business AFTER Starrcade 1997.

So why did they spend time talking about it? Because things aren't always black and white (no pun...lol ) when discussing a topic of how did this business fukk up to get to this point.

The reason Starrcade 1997 is important is because it began to lay the groundwork for more fukk shyt that was enabled and allowed to take place afterwards.

So? If Punk couldn’t actually count the 3 coherently, just do a ref bump that knocks him out. have Drew pick up Punk’s hand to count the 3. It’s been done before.

They’re just continuing a troll feud of who can troll each other the most. They coulda made it more than just that and still continue the trolling angle.

Or, if ultimately, McIntyre was going to lose because Punk attacked him while the referee was out, why bother having him come out as a referee? It's an unnecessary layer that doesn't really hold up to basic questions. I'm talking basic shyt, like "How was he a referee?" "Why was he a referee?" "If he counted three does it actually count?"

The rest of it makes sense for the storyline, but it felt like walking around the block to go down the street.

they showed a video on Twitter of him backstage getting a ref shirt from one of the confused women refs before he ran out, he was never actually an official, he did it just to be a dikk

Also... if we are just discussing the women's tag titles... they don't mean much on their own. They mean something within the story of Bianca and Jade. We are all pretty clear on where the story is headed or at least what they've been teasing. The titles are a device, a prop, that assists in furthering the personal story between the two characters.

The Mega Powers didn't lose at Survivor Series 1988. Why? Because it would have been dumb... they are the Mega Powers... two unbeatable forces that are headed to clash over ego and jealousy..

If Bianca and Jade's story is going to play out the way they began teasing it at the Royal Rumble... and they want Jade to be as big of a star as she can be, then yes they need to pay attention to details with her and the story.

Mike Tyson counted for Austin at MANIA and he was just guest enforcer.

The whole ending for Mac/Priest was . There was an opportunity to build something bigger and Trips dropped it. And, as expected, the usual dummies cop pleas.

I don't think there are enough similarities between WCW/WWF in 97 and the current WWE/AEW dynamic but if someone wants to say the booking decisions of recent shows are gonna lead to AEW pulling into the lead in the future then all I'd ask of them is to give a timeframe for that prediction

nothing wrong with someone wanting to stick their neck out on a prediction as long as they are willing to be accountable

I don't think anybody was picking the Rangers to win it all last year so wilder things have happened

I wasn't making a comparison between rivaling companies. My point was that WCW was making mistakes before record profits which you can now look back on and say "yeah, they didn't realize it then but this was a terrible decision..."

So the fact that WWE is making record profits doesn't mean they should be immune to criticism. Everyone can be criticized. Even Pepsi fell to #3 this year in soda sales Lol...

do I think WWE will ever not be #1? No... I don't believe so... but if they are #1 in the way that they were #1 in 1995.... that's terrible...

Anyone can be criticized at any time.

if they are #1 like they were in 95 that would mean AEW probably went out of business entirely, and we know thats not happening

I'm just not gonna keep equal energy for #1 and a distant #2 in any form of competition. I got way more shyt to say about the Mets than I would the Braves, especially if the fans of #2 aren't being objective or willing to hold an L

It could... TK didn't say he was going to "foot the bill" forever...He said he could do it for 10 years and it'd be whatever. I think that was hyperbole. I think he could probably foot the bill forever but he wouldn't do that. I don't believe it. I think what he meant was he was fine with taking losses for now because like any other business, it's about growth and revenue in the beginning not necessarily "profit"..

All of his TV Rights deals whether overseas or especially in the states will determine what the future looks like for the company.

Wrestling has always gone through cycles, boom periods, down periods... nothing is off the table.

But if you think TK will just foot the bill forever... then why post about attendance and ratings at all? What does it matter if the billionaire is just going to pay for everything anyway?

Meh. Still seems unnecessary even with that explanation.

I think they could have had Punk count three to create more confusion but not have the bell ring since he wasn't really a ref. Other than that it's not really that bad to be arguing over it that much. It got them where they needed to be. Now Drew is heated. He's done playing "troll." He's out for blood. Especially after that video showing him going off post match. He even choked out Corey Graves (Punk friend) a little bit, a Punk move might I add.
