AxB Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 How come nobody ever incorporates guard rails into the whole "light tubes on chairs on top of 2 tables balanced on four chairs on top of another two tables" death match spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. The problem would still be New Japan's relationship with CMLL and AEW's with AAA. Edited September 29, 2019 by Nice Guy Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Did Lance Storm ever make his post-school closing announcement? I have a sneaking suspicion he's coming back to thrillseek for the Khans. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Lance teaming with old partner to become a bunch old Canadian assholes would be the perfect way to return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even people who aren't All In on The Elite should be for this. Would offer AEW more depth, so that it wouldn't need to be so Elite heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it's Jericho and two mystery partners. Who's the third guy? Is there anyone else from that generation still working and a free agent (bedsides Dustin)? Maybe Justin Credible.

RIPPA Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 In another FOX promoting SDL moment Chris Spielman is doing color for the Giants/Skins game and they brought up him seconding LT at Mania XI and he still remembered the names of everyone involved and they showed a clip too. It was clear he would love to do something again. Of course - Thom Brennaman - the idiot play by play guy - couldn't get over how stupid he thought Virgil's name was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'll never understand why wrestling is considered so low brow and yet shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians are viewed so differently in the mainstream, way more favorably, nobody in the media harps on how stupid or "trashy" it is etc. Wrestling did quite obviously dig its own hole in that regard but it still doesn't speak to why other "garbage" TV is viewed with far less contempt.

I know the stereotypical "wrestling fan" is some uneducated big guy, unshaven, maybe a southern accent but it doesn't add up. The wrestling hotbeds aren't even southern territories at all, it's New York, Chicago, Boston, etc. I don't think the average wrestling fan is "high school dropout" and the average Kardashians fan is "college degree" or however someone wants to look at it. They both have a wide variety of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This after attendance at both parks have been low since the new lands opened. Can’t wait to see how hard the NBA on TNT shills AEW Dynamite.

John from Cincinnati Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 FWIW, I caught a couple innings of Cubs vs Cardinals last night and they were cracking themselves up about Braun's visit to the booth last week. So he clearly made an impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think it's perceived aspiration. The Kardashians are seen living in mansions, wearing designer clothes, traveling the world in private jets. It seems so carefree. Then take wrestling, with sweaty people giving the appearance of beating up each other while an unruly audience screams for more violence. It speaks to why more women in the 12-34 and 18-49 demos watch reality TV. It's the TV version of the rat vs the squirrel. Both are rodents. But one gets a pass for having an adorable fuzzy tail. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much thought they put into anything my issue is why is there an ax to grind in the first place. There's a lot of trashy, low quality television and I'd argue wrestling in the last 10 years has cleaned up almost all of what folks thought was trashy... It might be boring at times or nonsensical at times but it's not what it was and definitely not in comparison to what else is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
