People who say they grew up loving the original have lobbed huge praise for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The thing about "ratings warz" is that it is an outdated concept that was kind of a dumb dick waving contest in the first place. I guess you could make an argument that in the 90's, the more people that watched your show, the more people might buy your PPV's. WCW went out of business in part because they were obsessed by the ratings which at the end of the day meant nothing. Move that to today, it's completely irrelevant except for message board fodder. WWE has two masters they have to satisfy by delivering ratings, and there could be 20 other companies running TV and that would not matter one bit. The money they have gotten from Fox and USA has basically rendered the network an afterthought at this point. When AEW's contract comes due, nobody will want to hear that they beat NXT this many weeks in a row, they will want to know what they delivered. And based on all this I really think that the TNA move to Mondays is one of the underrated all time dumb business decisions in wrestling history. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 So, what you're saying is AEW should expand to 3 hours and run on Monday Nights. I get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 New Ducktales is great. Kid loves it. New(ish) Turtles is okay after a rough start. Trans-Dimensional Turtles (episode where they interact with their early 90’s counterparts) is one of the best pieces of fan service in years, though. They nailed it.

He has made anti-Semitic comments and trans-phobic comments but the one that got the most attention was equating homosexuality with pedophilia (He also tried to hand wave it away by saying that because he is a celebrity, the heightened media scrutiny causes his words to be taken out of context) EDIT - Oh and I forgot him saying he would kill his sister if she slept around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I’ll spoiler the Fury quotes... “There are these girls who want to open their legs to every Tom, Dick and Harry. But they are looked upon as rubbish in our community. We don’t do stuff like that. If I had a sister who did that … I’d hang her. She would bring disgrace on the family. It is a very, very bad thing to do. We don’t do that. Women have to be pure and respectful.” “I believe a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That’s my personal belief.” “There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home: one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other one’s paedophilia.” “It’s like you’re a freak of nature if you’re normal. You’re the odd one out — nobody else. What’s normal? I’ll just get myself changed into a woman. That’s normal, isn’t it? Today call myself Tysina or something like that, put a wig on. I don’t think it’s normal. I think they’re freaks of nature. I think it’ll be perfectly normal in the next 10 years to have sexual relationships with your animals at home — you know, your pets, your cats and dogs and all that — so that will be legal.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 4 hours ago, Matt D said: It's ok. They make decent use of the extended Muppet characters. It feels like they do the same three episodes (Piggy is a selfish brat, Kermit doesn't want to admit a shortcoming, Animal is out of control) over and over though. The songs are so unmemorable that now I'm wondering if there are songs. There are worse shows for your toddler to be into. Have they done another episode yet where Gonzo loses Camilla and just wails CAMILLLLLLAAAAAAA for like the whole thirty minutes? Also, does he still sexually harass Miss Piggy every two minutes before Piggy retaliates with physical violence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yes. What's worse about all this is that he hides behind depression and mental illness to try and get away with saying shit like this. For all the years I've struggled with depression, it sure hasn't made me a homophobic, transphobic, sexist piece of human garbage. 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even beyond the rivalry between companies, it isn;t even just "Twitter and Facebook" didn't exist in 1997...TiVo (and thus, DVRs) didn't exist in 1997 period. You had to choose- Raw or Nitro, knowing you're not going to get to see the other one (unless you had a picture-in-picture TV). Now, though, DVRs are commonplace. You don't have to choose AEW or NXT. Just DVR one and watch the other live. It's not some big battle for people.
