Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 773

Pretty sure Nash is extremely democratic. Even as far as saying he’s voted D since he was able to vote

 

shockingly democratic af

 

Also calls out all the old loser has-been geeks who tweet and talk shit on 'today's wrestling'

 

He’s liked some of his posts before tho, not sure why

 

I noticed a lot of episodes are cut like that.

 

Have you tried AEW

 

I'll believe wwe changes at all when wwe actually changes. I do not believe Triple H will bring wild, wholesale changes.

 

Can't believe I'm going to watch Raw tonight. Feels gross.

I give it 15 minutes.

 

Yeah I'm usually good for 10

 

Not watched anything properly for about 18 months. Just had no desire to watch any wrestling whatsoever. And that’s even with Punks return (which got me excited for about a week haha) and them essentially signing all my favourite released NXT guys too.

Think I just got burnt out with the WWE vs AEW discourse too tbh.

 

Well that was definitely a different way to start the show

 

'Acknowledge me' puts me into fucking cringe paralysis

 

hey fuck you paulie

 

Ah, yes, what chants. I forgot the fanbase is even worse than the company itself.

See you again in like 6 months maybe.

 

That was a good segment, daddy's gone was p funny.


I expect nothing else to be good the rest of the night tho lol

 

a coherent opening segment

 

Oh god, the Ricochet one is amazing

I feel like everyone has this wrong. RAW, on SyFy, with like zero wrestling in the first hour, against the Olympics, got 1.3 million viewers. Those people will watch ANYTHING, because they watch WWE.

If Theory can be booked like a big deal, so can anyone from the black and gold era. And the fact that so many of those guys can talk and work makes the job SOOOO much easier than trying to shoehorn guys into insane roles they dont fit

 

Maybe people will get their whole names back with vince gone because theory is a stupid fucking name for a wrestler

 

Okay i'm tappin out 25 minutes? I'm impressed

 

aaaand the sensory-overloading camera cuts

someone tell kevin dunn how jarring it is for your brain to have to process an entirely new picture every two seconds

 

Idk why the picture is before the text

 

I do expect the booking to get more competent with HHH in charge, but no chance I watch a full program until Dunn is gone or is told to chill the fuck out. It’s bad enough watching the PPV every month

 

I feel like NXT was never as offensive (it had some of the messiness, and always missed a big spot, but not the shakycam every punch)...so decent odds that tones down.
