funkdoc Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Kinda wonder if they would've waited longer to pull the trigger with Swerve if their numbers were doing a bit better. This is one of the things they had to do to even begin to earn positive buzz back, and i feel like the pendulum will eventually swing at least a little bit given the quality of their shows this year. Seen a lot of raving about Danielson-Ospreay even outside the AEW fan bubble, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 There were a couple of moments from Ospreay I wasn’t a fan of in the match but they were mainly nitpicking the totality. The finish is fine, especially given how Bryan mentioned the need for the TD ‘91 to be done at all as an “criticism” of Ospreay and the brainbuster on the ramp the night before. Played into it well. I’ll catch up on the rest of the show, but my guess is that this match will be widely regarded as Ospreay’s official arrival as the wrestler of his generation on a wider scale, and another feather in Bryan’s cap, but the true sickos will look back at Arena Mexico a few weeks prior as the best match of the month for him. I’m just happy I got to see a Death Lake Driver again. Mima Shimoda the goddess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Someone took up the task of analyzing Young Bucks segments and whether or not they lost viewers. Turns out they are a legit channel changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I suspect if if we continue the analysis to today, the declines and losses will be even steeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 However, it has to be said that the analysis is incomplete until we see how other segments in the same time slot (and preferably against the same competition with the same number of ad breaks) have done over a significant period of time, in order to draw comparisons. They are certainly no Cody-like draws, definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 A chart like that is worthless if it doesn't tell us how those numbers compare to the typical ratings pattern for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be scared about you memorizing my posting history to such a degree that you were able to dig up something I wrote several months ago? Anyway, not at all surprising with this being a gun case in Florida. Be happy you live in Toronto and can go to a 7-Eleven at 3 a.m. without worrying that any nut with a firearm will show up with a wild hair up his ass - like Cash Wheeler. FTR is probably the best tag team in America, if not the world, but this is yet another reminder that even our favorite wrestlers or the ones with "good" reputations are largely problematic creeps. Also a good reminder that wrestling fans are largely among the most simpleminded and sycophantic, to the point that the majority of them would bend themselves into pretzels to excuse Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay if they murdered children in the middle of the street, all while foaming at the mouth and wishing the death penalty on Ryback and Brian Cage for jaywalking charges.

But Toronto has its fair share of gun violence and crime, believe me. It’s ridiculously easy to get your hands on an illegal gun in Toronto. There are plenty of 7-11 stores that I wouldn’t go anywhere near at 3:00 AM. I have a buddy who lives in a neighborhood where he pretty much takes his life in his hands every time he leaves his apartment after dark. It’s so bad, Uber and Amazon won’t come to his building after certain hours. While it might not be as dangerous as Detroit, Baltimore, New York, L.A. or as crime ridden as San Francisco, Toronto is hardly Shangri-La, trust me. Like most major cities, that applies to particular areas, not the suburbs, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that I memorize your posts, it’s that I distinctly remember you deciding that Cash Wheeler was automatically guilty of a crime just because somebody accused him of something. This is a guy who aside from this particular incident, has no history of any problematic behaviour that I am aware of. And I remember the details of this case, being very sketchy, specifically that the alleged victim didn’t report the crime for over 8 hours, and also that there were no witnesses to the alleged incident. I remember discussing it with somebody here at PWO at the time, saying that if somebody pointed a gun at me, you can bet your ass that I would call 911 immediately, not go to work, work my full shift and then go to the police station and report the incident. I’m not even necessarily doubting that there was some sort of road rage incident between Wheeler and this guy, but there is no proof that Wheeler pulled the gun on him, just because the guy said he did. And I worked with police for years…I just don’t believe that people are guilty of every single thing they are accused of, unless there is witnesses or evidence. And this is coming from somebody who is generally pro-law enforcement. The prosecutor dropped those charges for a reason. This has nothing to do with the fact that I like FTR, (which I admittedly do) it’s just more to do with the fact that I don’t automatically believe everything I hear when somebody gets charged with a crime.

C.S. Posted June 5 Author Report Share Posted June 5 Kevin Kelly: I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy how AEW treated me https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/kevin-kelly-i-wouldnt-treat-my-worst-enemy-how-aew-treated-me/ I'm not any major fan of the guy, but I thought Ian Riccaboni handled everything unprofessionally by making it public. In any other company, he'd be the one fired. But everyone will defend Ian because he's "better" than Kelly at commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Two things about that, one it was talked about before his beef with Ian hat Kelly was some sort of at least Q-adjacent type and secondly anyone who invokes Hana Kimura to defend themselves is always going to be highly suspect in my book. I will agree that Ian didn't handle it professionally, but I'm not going to act like Kelly was some kind of martyr in all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 I'm sorry, did he seriously just compare his situation to Hana Kimura? Fuck That Guy He could be the best announcer of all time, which he most certainly isn't, and still.... Fuck That Guy Then you add him being a Q-Anon, Racist, Trumper on top of it and well... Fuck That Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 5 Author Report Share Posted June 5 Is there any proof of Kevin Kelly being Q, though, other than being snowed in by a movie? I don't really follow him. His Melba Toast style of announcing doesn't exactly motivate me to want to read his Twatter account. I'm asking because I know a lot of people who saw that movie and had no idea it was some kind of Q propaganda job. Most people are not eternally online like PWO. (I haven't seen it. Part of me, as a film buff, is curious. The rest of me is like, ugh, life is too short.) Regardless, Ian could also be the best commentator ever, and I'd still fire his ass in a split second for being 1. completely fucking unprofessional 2. a blithering fucking imbecile for not realizing that Discord isn't private. Kevin Kelly may not be a great guy, but I have zero respect for Ian in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 His Twitter likes are enough to show his alt-right views. Can't really talk about people being terminally online when it comes to Kevin Kelly, given how he is always online. Love how even in his version of events, he comes across like a complete douchebag. Invoking Hana Kimura's name, and talking about how he went off on Riccaboni for wearing a cowboy hat, like somehow people are going to listen to that and be like "Oh you were totally right!" Fuck that guy indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I suppose I'd be fine with this as a one-off just for the WTF factor, but I have zero interest in seeing him become an AEW regular. Remember when WWE fired him because he wanted to make the 2022 Rumble all about himself and threw a fit when his ideas kept getting shot down? You have to figure he'd be even more of a nightmare in a company not run by his father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Brown Koko Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I could see Shane and The Bucks linking up. I could see Jericho and Shane exchanging pleasantries. I could REALLY see Christian trying to be a “father” to Shane, given all of the drama with Vince. Those promos would be MONEY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 "The name on the contract does say Khan. However, the contract reads Nick Khan." alternatively "The name on the lawsuit does say McMahon.
