Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 1764

ratings are an interesting thing to talk about, but when used to armchair analyze it really shows ya who the nerds are

i am referring to no one here

 

im gonna try and baked.live tonights dynamite, is that usually reliable? it's a mess for PPVs but id imagine they don't send the dogs as hard for weekly tv

 

Yeah I really couldn't care less about ratings haha

Yeah I watch Dynamite on there all the time

 

i do hope more comes out about how Collision came to be, though. it feels like WBD must have been like "we want it by X" because this is not the tour you would want to debut it on and it's not like Punk jumped straight into a big angle that would explain it

 

Except @oldjersey hes such a fucking nerd

 

this is my short hair Jericho run i don't do the old gimmicks anymore

 

i'm gonna go to Impact 1,000 and the current management's willingness to lean into nostalgia for TNA awfulness has me really excited for whatever surprises they get for that lol. Shark Boy, Team 3D, appletini Kaz/Daniels feel like on the table things.

 

I scissored Daddy Ass today

 

I lost it

 

Forgot flip gordon existed, wish I continued to forget.

 

I would not be shocked at all if its "WBD need a slot to fill and Tony sprinted to say yes". Like, bless Tony, he says yes to nearly anything and most of the time its lovely...but the business motive is usually liked 3rd or 4th down the list of reasons why, and "oooh, I'd like to reference this 90's wrestling thing" is #1.

 

Darby just got chopped in half like a fucking magicians assistant lol

 

opening match of the year, crowd was going insane on hardcam for the finish lol

 

I’m pretty sure it was this. The show was added as part of their current TV deal on its last year so it was essentially a freebie. May not be a part of the extension of the ratings truly matter but hey it’s a year of additional content.

 

that stair spot nearly made me vomit

 

at first i was scoffing at it because they were acting like they weighed 500 pounds alone on Darby. i promptly ate my words

 

... do my ears deceive me or are the Bollywood Boyz & The Blade a thing lol

 

Daddy Magic is woefully underused in AEW; he cut that god-tier promo after Anarchy or B&G last year and hasnt done much since

 

ok, everything about that vignette was lovely

 

oh shit my ears did deceive me

 

oh shit my ears didn't deceive me

 

Papa Butt sign lol

 

Every single thing involved with QTV is the cringiest thing I have ever seen

 

By the time this episode is over, its gonna be 1/3rd footage from indie shows.
