Smart marks are ridiculous. They complained that WWE was "too silly" and couldn't wait until AEW got started so that they could get a true alternative to that product. Tony Khan promised "sports-based" wrestling and what did we get? We get silly antics every single week, but the smart marks are quiet about that. It's bad when WWE does it, but it's okay when AEW does it. AEW had their chance to do something different and bring competitive sports based wrestling to the mainstream, but instead, we're getting a guy who wrestles with his hands in his pockets and play kicks people; space aliens; people getting run over by golf carts; a man who thinks he's a dinosaur; teleportation; etc, etc, etc. They can't compete with WWE, because they're trying to be WWE. They're doing the same silly shit that Vince does.

I'm glad that there's at least one podcast out there that calls wrestling as they see it. There are people out there that actually like comedy wrestling and defend it to the death. I guess end of the day there are just different perspectives on wrestling. I'm glad that the one that doesn't like comedy wrestling just so happens to have a no-nonsense, to-the-point, hard hitting vernacular. With profanity laced in there from time to time for good measure lol. Breath of fresh air.

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

Nobody on AEW is more over than they were a year ago, in large part because almost nobody gets promo time. I used to watch the show every week and they have some incredible talent but I didn't know why I was supposed to care about so many of their guys, and eventually gave up for more thorough things to do with my Wednesday nights. No I don't watch NXT either, I don't want to support WWE at all.

[@wuttamark8584]

The one that's more over is Britt Baker who is injured and not like she's going to be a top of the card talent anyway. I know the virtue signaling SJW VP's would say otherwise to the public, but its true.

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

@@wuttamark8584 Good point about Dr. Baker, she and Nyla Rose have done some decent enough promos. Just both of their booking stunk at first and that's proving tough for AEW to overcome.

[@wuttamark8584]

@@tyrannostoragerex3637 Otherwise, yeah Kenny is like a nobody in the US when he pretty much came from Japan on a silver platter. Jericho has spent all of 2020 doing comedy. Moxley has had some bad luck with injuries and his wife getting sick, so I can't blame him or the company too much. He's largely been serious. The Bucks were the supposed "best tag-team in the world" and lost a bunch and aren't special. Cody is about the same he was before. Maybe a bit less after losing to Jericho. You could Sammy Guevera is more over but is he going to beat Moxley? Or Cody? Probably not.

[@tyrannostoragerex3637]

@@wuttamark8584 To me, Omega died the week he teamed with Nakazawa. I also remember PAC attacking Nakazawa, and then nothing. No Nak-wants-revenge-and-PAC-squashes-him match. Just nothing. Omega never washed the stink of that match off to me. Jericho I can largely give a pass to. He's been a master of balancing comedy into his act since last millennium. It's stupid that AEW didn't establish why Broken Matt is Broken Matt and has a semi-sentient drone, and it's stupid AEW wastes its' biggest mainstream star on Pockets, but those things aren't Jericho's fault. Moxley is fine too. A little dull but fine. The Bucks wrestle essentially the same match every time and are sucktastic promos. Corny's analysis of why their loss to Private Party didn't put them over is must-listen stuff. Sammy probably is more over than at the start and kudos to him for figuring out to use signs to do promos when he isn't given a mic.

[@basedstatement1579]

AnguirusDude same here dude, I don’t watch NXT don’t want to. And the wrestling program I do want to watch is making me disinterested, I want to see MJF, The Revival and the rest of the tag team division because I just find them more entertaining than the singles matches currently . I fucking hate Paige and Omega together tho. The bucks are growing on me, just hate their shitty looking shirts. “Christian AF” and parody shirts and the Kicks.

Both promotion's "big budgets" are the PROBLEM. Everybodys getting paid TOO MUCH to have any incentive to ACTUALLY WORK. New Japan is the best promotion on earth because ITS AN HONOR TO BE THERE NOT A FAVOR FROM A FRIEND. That shiny diamond bullshit belt DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. Nobody IN THE PROMOTION shows any hunger for it so why would I want to put it on my wall?

[@FadedG2000]

You do have a point. I am an AEW fan, but do not appreciate the silly shit they do from time to time. Orange Cassidy is a special case. He’s great live due to the audience. Without that, why. NJPW is a promotion that is a privilege to work it due to the very harsh process to even get in the card. When one does, it’s treated special due to the fact they ACTUALLY earned it. AEW and WWE just wave their pocketbooks around and have no other incentive to kick it up a notch. Unless you are paid 7 figures and a main player.

[@blackieblackmetal7218]

@@FadedG2000 Can you see an NJPW level match ever happening again in AEW? DoN 2019 was an NJPW level show, I don't understand what happened?

[@FadedG2000]

Blackie BlackMetal AEW can be a NJPW like promotion, but they are set to do silly WWE-lite comedy. Inside and outside of the ring. I want AEW to succeed because of the level of talent there. Like AEW can have ppvs like DoN2019, Revolution 2020, and Full Gear 2019 where all matches are of top quality, but if they continue to justify a 5 foot nothing, 100 pound soaking wet “wrestler” going head to head with monsters like Lance Archer, then idk how people will continue to stick around. They need to play with their strengths and stick with it. BE THE ALTERNATIVE. This was the issue with TNA 2007-2013. Prior to that era, I highly believe that TNA could have continued to thrive and grow.

ALL wrestling, at lease on the "pro" level has to be fun for those watching. The DIFFERENCE between silly, parody wrestling and "real" pro wrestling lies in the realm of the ability of the watchers to be able to suspend their disbelief and enjoy what they're watching. IMHO, right now, there is NO "real" wrestling. The closest anyone comes to it is NXT and even they are pushing my ability to suspend my disbelief. Unfortunately, for me, I think I was much better entertained when I thought pro wrestling was REAL! Now that I know what I know, it's much more difficult for me to 'buy" that the wrestlers are really trying to win and that is a shame. I've always loved pro wrestling, but the current product is full of "tells" between wrestlers, or too many 'tells" when you can tell when one wrestler is telling another one what to do next in a match. Wins and losses mean nothing anymore, if they ever really did! you GOTTA have a bad guy to boo and a good guy to cheer. That doesn't happen much anymore. I could say a lot more, but this isn't MY video or blog...so I'll shut up for now.

Another animation fan here, Brian. It was Popeye Meets SInbad, and Popeye Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves, where the effect is most pronounced. And those weren't the only Fleischer 3D backgrounds. Ah, the good old days . . . Willard Bowski. Seymour Kneitel . . .

Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart used to trade commentary all the time when they were managing.

AEW super fans are always SO defensive if you don't love every last drop of that shit man

[@hitomitanaka105]

Do you know what AEW haven't done with anyone of their faces yet? Have someone clean house. You know the scene. A group of heels are beating up a good guy and then a furious hero tears down the runway and goes beserk in the ring. It's one of the best ways to get a face over and is a reliable crowd-pleaser. In AEW we only ever see even-sided brawls.

Need the video of catching Jimmy playing with AEW action figures like that scene from SpaceBalls

[@BJWFenix]

So i just realized Sonny kiss is basically Disco kid from Punchout

Comedy Wrestling Matters, non-sensical teleportation matters, blatantly helping your opponent hit you with their move out in the open matters, removing body parts as a stipulation matters, 3/4 of your roster being smaller than me matters. WWE's action movie matches matter. ALL elite WRESTLING MATTERS

I hate it when I miss the drop

Where did this "wrestling is supposed to be fun" nonsense start? It has no basis in reality whatsoever and for some reason people take it as gospel now. The problem is that when people say "fun," what they mean is "goofy." Wrestling is supposed to be goofy to them. The fans now are man children who don't want to grow up and want to perpetually be 10 years old. These are the same people who think the Star Wars prequels are actually good movies because they liked them as a kid. It's Peter Pan Syndrome. If the same fans that exist today were around 25 years ago, then the Dungeon of Doom skits would be called the greatest thing ever and Mantaur would be the biggest star on the indies. I mean, that's what pro wrestling is now, right? Just silly skits and goofy gimmicks to make these Peter Pan adults in their black Bullet Club tees high five one another and talk about how "epic" it is.

[@hitomitanaka105]

I don't understand why AEW they can't see this. WWE's audience is there for the taking. All they have to do is put on a serious show that adults (and kids) can enjoy. The hardcore soy fanbase will support them anyway, so why not?

[@ScorpionTomb]

The problem with modern wrestling is that indy wrestling is now gonna be more mainstream because of the fact aew literally is basically a indy promotion that got over with a son of a billionaire, aew obviously has majority of a roster from the Indies who wrestler without “selling” or “understanding the basics of wrestling as a whole” & the guys that are getting into wrestling look like their 15 years old and it just overall shows how wrestling now is just a open invitation to live a dream you only should be dreaming of because of the fact a lot of people who wanna be a wrestler aren’t good enough and aew/indy wrestling takes those people. But don’t get me wrong their are people in the indies that aren’t making a joke out of wrestling and they deserve to be the faces of indy wrestling because they’ll fix wrestling as a whole so us modern fans can enjoy it how it was before.

Your Mugshot 8X10 on heavy card stock winding in the breeze with a famous autograph is worth more than $12 are you kidding me what a steal price for that gem, sht'stain in glossed color too?

[@evilmasterstudios]

Not the best idea to test Cornette on “Comedy Wrestling” he threw Brian Zane away like yesterday’s trash over it.

[@JGLB2012]

Nitti was not in south side apartment, he was at Club Montmartre.

[@natrixxvision6997]

Can you blame the guy for being in a bar drinking during that six man tag match???

[@paulodenobrega1500]

Summed up modern wrestling perfectly

[@noamto]

Dijakovic is Croatian so Kross spoke Croatian to him.

[@nerdrage557]

Should change it to A Ton of Wrestling Is Embarrassing. A WWE ppv ends with a match where two main event talents go underneath a swamp and out pops a wacky masked man for the title supposedly. And then on AEW a week prior we have a segment where one wrestler drops orange juice on another. I don't know how these lows get topped but I have a feeling we haven't see the last of this years absurdity

[@EmoEmu]

Cody isn't a babyface or a heel. He's sort of a tweener character that leans one direction or the other to fit the situation. He's basically being the AEW version of NWA's Nick Aldis who would be heelish in one match then honourable in the next till NWA had a somewhat settled roster.

[@SpiritThief]

I hope Jim reviews The Horror Show. Why did they ruin Asuka vs Sasha with that finish!?!

[@tigerbug69]

I think Sashas hair fell off.She also might have got knocked out at one stage. Seemed to go downhill from there!

[@3210-n1x]

Do you think the undertaker was really gonna crucify Stephanie if Austin didn't save her

[@seannetworkblogsandgames7504]

I'm glad Jim is watching again because now I can avoid watching it until it gets better. Also, George Reeves is the best Superman. Watch the movie Superman and the Mole Men if you want him at his best

[@johngallagher72]

Hmmm ...i would rank them Christopher Reeve , Brandon Routh , Tom Welling then Cavhill but George Reeves was before my time ...might have to check out though... thanks for reccomendation.

[@scottdavenport1833]

Great movie.
