Anytime AEW is even slightly praised or even mentioned they blow a gasket. Obviously that's why he keeps doing it There are also AEW fans who freak out too. It goes both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 True. although Scott really amps up the "on AEW's payroll" stuff to get the wwe diehards going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I gotta say, finding out that Scott still has a following in 2021 is like finding out there is still a contingent of like....Color Me Badd fans out there or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I enjoy the Comments sections (for the most part) and Brian Bayless' WWF TV reviews, which are an invaluable resource. What can I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I would say the majority of posters there don't even like Scott that much. It's just a place to talk wrestling. As alluded to any current product discussion usually just ends in AEW v WWE circular type arguments with various insults hurled. But like Pete mentioned the retro reviews can lead to some good discussion and everyone is pretty well behaved in those type threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Lots and lots of classic joshi discussion and show reviews have sprung up there, oddly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerpride Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Scott's blog generally has pretty good discussions . As others have said, it's more of a place for people to gather to talk wrestling or BS about life. Scott gets called out on his falsehoods and bad opinions all the time. Usually he just ignores it.

Bix Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 So I've been thinking about this a little bit, and...his most destructive falsehoods would probably be the David McLane stuff, right? For those not familiar, for years on end, Scott would rail against McLane as a sexual harasser who Luna Vachon and Ivory had called out in interviews, specifically naming Luna's interview in the 1990 Observer Yearbook at one point. Luna says nothing like that in the interview (or her and Gangrel's later shoot interview tape, IIRC), and neither has really said anything negative about McLane that I could ever find. Hell, I've never been able to find any interviews with GLOW, POWW, or WOW cast members that were negative on him. Negativity towards director Matt Cimber, yes, but even then, not close to that level, and the GLOW girls welcomed him with open arms in at the reunion that was shot for the GLOW documentary.

I would say yes because the stigma of that is something you can really never shake off even if you prove it wasn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I distinctly remember him throwing in an "ask Ivory" when referencing David McClane not being a good person and thinking it was weird no one else seemed to be corroborating these claims he was talking about as if they were common knowledge. The only negative thing I could see anyone say about him when I looked into it was people suggesting maybe he was too much of a fan to be trying to run a promotion. Looking back, it seems like he was just leaning in to the "he really likes women's wrestling so he must be a weirdo" stereotype and just assuming it was true.

tigerpride Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 https://blogofdoom.com/index.php/2016/01/07/david-mcclane/#disqus_thread This is all he said recently about McClane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returner82 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I have potentially alluded to this before, but I've written reviews on his site of wrestling and other stuff. That's greatly declined due to having a busy career plus general loss of love for it due to getting irritated with the bully boy posters in the comments section. PeteF3 is one of the preeminent posters on there, which I have praised him for before, but there are some really nasty types in the comments section. I'll be honest, two or three years ago I was just as guilty of having both guns blazing and when I look back on some of those comments now I get pretty embarrassed, but it was probably a case of having too much time on my hands and other issues, long since resolved, that was the cause of that. The obnoxious posters have gotten worse in that time, not better, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly so. I went from being dead set against guys on there like Hart Killer and wnyxmcneal and then turning completely around on them because at least they have brains in their heads, whereas others just seem to be totally plugged into messaging there every few minutes, then making out that you're the sad one and not part of their gang. It really does make you think they weigh several hundred pounds and do nothing else all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 As a certified Old Internet Man, it's been fascinating to me to see how cycles repeat themselves w/r/t message boards on the internet. Like it doesn't even matter what the subject is, there's almost always going to be a certain group who seemingly only exist to be pains in everyone else's asses. Makes places like this a real breath of fresh air, and the fact that a lot of the founders of this board are also veterans of ancient message board wars is probably no accident.

Marksman Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Agree with PWO being a breath of fresh air compared to most message boards - I don't know what it is (pandemic, maybe?) but so many boards I post on seem to have gotten much nastier, tone-wise, over the last year or two. Having somewhere like this where discussions are pleasant and interesting is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Woof. It's not like there wasn't AEW footage of Brian Jr. on that very same documentary. Plus Maffew (the Botchmania guy) has said his issue was with YouTube's content system and that AEW has been helping him out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
