Talk up what you liked/didn’t like about MITB here…
AEW’s State Run Media Talking Head can’t comprehend how consumers don’t give a fuck about AEW & would rather watch Lexis King wrestle twice than anything involving Moxley..
Thoughts Midcarders?
Seriously. Taking a pin doesn’t mean they’re buried. Kicking out of a finisher isn’t a burial. Many fans online want to act like when their favorite wrestler loses, it’s doom and gloom, push is over, dudes gonna get released.
Please relax before going to this extent.
Any bets as to how long before it gets taken down by their mods coz we’re not supposed to like the Fed in there?
I remember Moxley saying something about it representing the struggle of gaining the championship and de-propping the title but... Why? What did the title gain from being in a briefcase exactly?
A thought that I had while watching Smackdown last night & seeing this graphic…
Tag team wrestling in both WWE & AEW sucks right now… it’s enjoyable in NXT but that’s about it..
I DVR’ed Smackdown last night & got up to the MFT match before going to bed & then at work, I see this graphic & “The Dogs” have a tag team title match without winning a tag match (according to Cagematch) since that awful chain match with BBG at the July PPV?
What the fuck..
But yeah, MFT’s, War Raiders, Shin’s team, all are awful.. I like Fraxiom but got damn is tag team wrestling really struggling on Smackdown & same on RAW.. I can’t even name a team outside of “The Vision”… tag team wrestling absolutely doesn’t exist on both RAW & Smackdown & you know what,. I am okay with it.. everything else is doing well enough that you don’t even think about the tag division at all..
& miss me with the “Tag Team Division is hot in AEW” talk.. Bucks are champions again when nobody asked for it, the rest of the division is a team that was hot during the last time my Dolphins won a playoff game at the end of 2000(Edge & Christian) teams from 2010(FTR, New Level, MCMG) & other teams that nobody cares about(Gunns, Dogs, Death Riders)..
The best teams that AEW produced in house are donzo.. Acclaimed done, Swerve & Keith Lee done, Private Party, injured & done, Top Flight got banished to ROH..
If you like tag team wrestling, watch NXT, cause it is absolutely dead everywhere else.
P.S. Rhea & Sky was the best tag team to watch in the past 2 years.. mens or women’s
Period. Full Stop.
Midcarders: Agree or disagree that tag team wrestling is worse than the Dallas Cowboys defense in both WWE & AEW?
For all of our Midcarders that are in the path of Isaias..
Stay safe ya’ll & hopefully you don’t get hit too bad from it..
Good thing about Isaias is that it will weaken rather quickly once it hits land.. just gotta get thru the first 4-6 hours of it..
Stay safe ya’ll!
Listening to this week’s 83 Weeks, I expected the usual Bischoff dunking on AEW. Instead, Eric and Conrad sounded like they were attending a fucking funeral.
Bischoff says the only thing keeping AEW alive is that the Khans have a “bottomless pit” of money and don’t need the company to turn a profit. But under Paramount, he argues none of the Sicko propaganda, Meltzer spin, or Tony sucking up to David Ellison matters.
“The only thing that will really matter at the end of it all is the math.”
And THAT is the money quote, because the math is increasingly difficult to ignore. WBD is reportedly paying serious money for AEW while the television audience has declined. Wrestling traditionally commands weaker ad rates than its raw viewership might suggest, and AEW still has the expense of producing live national television every week. While we don’t have public Max numbers, there’s no publicly available evidence yet that streaming is delivering some enormous audience that changes the equation, despite what the Sickos and Meltzer would have you believe.
So the question Paramount is eventually going to ask is pretty simple: What are we paying, and what are we getting back? Not whether Tony is friends with David Ellison. Not what Meltzer says. Not whether the Sickos think Collision had another five-star banger. Cagematch ratings and Meltzer stars are about as valuable to Paramount as Schrute Bucks.
Paramount will be looking for ROI.
And Bischoff follows it with an even darker assessment: “You’re either growing or you’re dying. AEW hasn’t been growing.”
That’s what struck me about this whole conversation. Neither Bischoff nor Conrad sounded like they were celebrating. They sounded genuinely fucking sad about where this could be headed. And I get it. I’ve shit on what AEW has become for the last year, but I don’t want AEW to die. I want AEW to become the alternative so many of us wanted it to be again.
But Paramount isn’t going to grade AEW on nostalgia, star ratings, or Tony’s record as the ultimate corporate soldier. Eventually, they’re going to do the math.
At the time, I admit, I was caught up in this hype. The idea that we the people could impact real change and adjust the booking was, to put it bluntly, intoxicating. But just look at who these fans wanted to push:
Dnaiel Bryan - who ended up being a traitor and badmouths WWE constantly now
Dolph Ziggler - he's fine (we still work with TNA, right?) but he's nothing compared to so many other big talents (Seth, Roman, etc)
Dean Ambrose via the SHIELD - he's fucking awful, both as a performer and as a person. And the idea that I EVER gave him respect honestly makes me fucking sick to my stomach.
Granted, it does show love to Taker and Punk, and they're both greats who have proven time and again to deserve it. But the disrespect for Orton, HHH, and Steph is fucking slanderous. Like.. where did they think the shows came from? A magic box or something?
In short - I think this flyer is where fans got this idea that wrestling should cater to them. It birthed this entitled fanbase that then led to AEW's nightmarish creation. And it's that same entitlement that makes people boo a fun Danhausen concert instead of sitting there and being GRATEFUL for the HOURS of free television we are gifted each week. So I'm gonna end this with one simple sentence:
THANK YOU WWE.
Seriously. $9.99. That’s basically the cost of a fucking McDonald’s combo.
MLW just announced Saturday Night SuperFight, live from Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, November 7 at 8 PM ET, streaming on Veeps.
And if you order during the first 24 hours, it’s $9.99. After that, it jumps to $19.99 advance.
You guys know how big I’ve been on MLW lately. People are sleeping on this promotion.
And just to be crystal clear: I’m not affiliated with MLW. They’re not paying me, I don’t get anything if you buy this, and nobody asked me to post it. I just genuinely really like what they’re doing and think a lot of wrestling fans are missing out. When I find something good, I’m going to fucking tell you guys about it.
I had a fucking blast at Fightland and the Fusion tapings in Charleston. Legitimately one of the most fun wrestling shows I’ve attended in years. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already bought tickets for when they come back to Charleston in April.
So yeah, I bought this.
For ten bucks, give MLW a shot. Support an actual alternative wrestling product that isn’t trying to be the ultimate corporate soldier and doing splits on it for that Paramount basket.
Ten bucks. Live wrestling. Saturday night.
People keep saying they want alternatives in wrestling. Well, here’s one.
First SS is WrestleDream’s attendance..
2nd is AEW’s version of Survivor Series..
3rd is the latest “GaMeChAnGeR” to possibly save AEW..
A PPV event should NOT be struggling to get to 5k in a 10k capacity arena.. especially with how “phenomenal” AEW’s PPV’s are.. should be an easy sell out no?
B&G not selling is no surprise, they barely got 5k last year in North Carolina & they are in a state(FLORIDA) where they can’t sell tickets to their PPV.. so maybe they get to 3k-3500 but that would have to be a disappointing number..
No worries, The Fella will be on his way to save the day!
My question is simple Midcarders.
Why are AEW fans way more into the product online(Reddit, Facebook groups) than in real life?
Why can’t Tony bundle this online passion of the product to real life? Is it majority bots or what?
