WWE seems really bad. Like they needed home runs with AEW and picked the worst time to trot out some really bad stuff/terrible decisions.

The War room stuff was reallllllly bad. Like holy crap bad. WWE as a whole right now even with a talented roster is just bad. There is no other way to put it. It's stale. It's bad. It's not fun to watch.

Then you have Seth Rollins billed as a face, but he's so company-man he's practically insufferable. They really can't really produce mega stars anymore, or they don't want it. Whatever it is, the product is trash.

They don't make stars, they don't promote stars, they don't want any stars. All they want is the brand. They promote WWE. They don't promote their stars because that way they can never get burned when a wrestler leaves.

With Bruce Pritchard running off Eric Bischoff permanently Vince has his yes man back in charge.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Oct 15, 2019 4:31 pm

I like Something to Wrestle With, but you're absolutely right. Bruce is Vince's yes man. This company will not improve until Vince dies and HHH/Steph clean house. Hopefully they start with Kevin Dunn.

I don't watch wrestling these days, but have had a fair bit of nostalgia for back in the day, so I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and read a few books like Have a Nice Day, Slobberknocker, and most recently, The Death of WCW.

I wasn't really a WCW fan ever, but man, reading this thing was like watching a long, slow trainwreck.

It's actually amazing that they pulled off the 83 Weeks thing given how poor it seems that they booked on a regular basis...

That's weird that you can see an embedded tweet from someone that has you blocked, but if you click on the tweet itself it says that it can't be viewed.

I must have worked my way into a shoot, brother.

Just got tickets to go to AEW Full Gear in Baltimore on the 9th. I'm pretty effin stoked.

Finally caught up on AEW from this week. Another great show. The only criticism I have at the moment is they really need to work on their entrance music. Everyone's music sounds exactly the same. It's generic as hell.

By the way, NWA Power was awesome once again as well.

Agree 100% on both. Pumped for AEW at the Pete this Wednesday. Mox vs Pac yes please.

I don't work in the city, and I will be nowhere near the Convention center so not really concerned. Picking my wife up from Presby on the way in tonight. Other than normal rush hour stuff I should be fine. Plus everyone will be going out of the city when I'm going in.

I saw on Reddit that AEW sent out an email regarding the Trump traffic. Did you get that? I know you won't be near the convention center but they're making it sound like all of Downtown and even stretching over to Oakland is going to be a **** show.

I might have, but not sure. It may be a bit heavier than normal, but I'll leave a bit early. On a good day getting to oakland from my house is about 25 minutes. Even if I double that or more I will still be fine. I'm planning to leave by 4:45 or so... wife gets off at 5:30. Get down there early, park, go get something to eat then walk to the Pete.

Sorry to hear that man. Appreciate the offer but I’m not able to make it either.

Damn I should have gone to the show. The first hour of the show has been incredible!

Postby **Spangler** » Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:33 pm

No joke, tonight's AEW show was the most entertained I've been by a wrestling show in over a decade.

Meanwhile, on NXT, Finn turns heel to close out the show. Holy ****! What is happening right now!

Little late on this, but thanks for the offer. Did you end up getting a buyer?

Was supposed to see Stewart Copeland over at Mr. Smalls last night and couldn't make it. Ended up getting sick, taking a half day and passed out on my couch.
