Wrestling Thread 5: FKA The Viking Experience • Page 508

No sasha congratulations?

 

205 Live is happening rn after SDL for anyone that was wondering about it

 

Someone on reddit made a good point that ties into what I said earlier about splitting tag teams. USA drafted Nikki and Alexa separate when they probably could have just said former women’s tag champs and selected them together

 

after tonight's show, i am 100% fully on team AEW now.

 

So Charlotte won the title at HIAC only to lose it so Bayley could go full heel? Even if Bayley pulled it off well...its just stupid stat padding on a bad PPV

 

These "war room" clips are so corny

Also the bit with the fox NFL Sunday crew was painful

After first to rounds brands seem pretty even

But splitting the draft class into two groups I guess prevents raw from not having any a listers in the second half of the draft... But it's a not awkward not knowing who they are skipping over because they are not in tonight pool and who they are skipping over because WWE is dumb

 

nothing has ever been less cool than the draft portion of this show was, holy hell

 

Not the wacky wavey inflatable tube men! How could you Bayley!?!?!

 

The whole show was cringe level bad.

But the treatment of Kofi is a real insult to him and the fans. Has a fairly good champ run, lises to boring lesnar in 5 secs and then is just like: don't caaaareeeee.

Fuck this company.

Also, I hate that they expect me to knoe who Cain Velasquez is. I do not watch mma just cuz i watch their weak ass sports entertainment.

Don't expect me to know World Checkers Champion Lubabalo Kondlo, just because i like Chess.

 

Woooooow Shorty Gable is a thing? Man I'm done. That's so fucking stupid it's insulting.

 

Man, i'm glad I didn't watch that. I'll keep my eye on the rumour mill for if Punk returns or when Morrison redebuts, but I think i'm definitely back to just NXT and occasionally AEW or NJPW again now.

The fact that they've put Wyatt on SD too now is shit as well.

 

Still flabbergasted that punk and morrison would chose wwe over aew in this situation

 

Y’all are so dramatic lmfao

 

Love that the first Rollins match since the non-finish at HIAC was another non-finish

 

watching the show now. real dumb ending the match like that. good match though, and i actually liked the fiend segment, just not to cause a dq

 

it's not drama, it is emotional entertainment

 

Smackdown viewership dropped nearly a million viewers from last week

 

Lol

 

Odd how AEW and Smackdown both drop similar amounts after week 1 yet all the AEW smarks seemed to think AEW's drop was just fine because there was a baseball game on and its to be expected, while Smackdown's drop, despite also going up against a baseball game, is perfect evidence for how much of a failure smackdown is

 

Something general wrestling fans are gonna have to get used to I’m afraid

 

who’s calling Smackdown a failure because of a ratings drop?

 

Everywhere online I see people talking about it (twitter, reddit...) seems to be very negative.

 

Ahh got it. It’s gonna be a thing for a bit. The whole “the company I prefer is better and you’re stupid for liking your company” thing is already very old to me lol.

 

Well, the product sucks so yea fans are gonna be negative
