Why does it have to be run by hipster faggots and out of touch old men?
Is it so hard to find large, strong men with talent to put in a show? Is it so hard for bookers and wrestlers to know that not everyone should be flipping and flying around all the time?
Why does it always have to be so fucking meta?
I'm starting to think Cornette was right, but he was off the mark by a couple of decades. Wrestling died somewhere in the early 2000s because society began to change to the current era and it can't ever come back because people don't even watch TV anymore.
Big wrestlers are lumbering and boring. You'll never find a muscle head that can go like Kenny or Ricichet. Big guys can't be electric like that. They're like mud oozing down a hill, or paint drying.

Anyone who touches the current WWE gets tainted and brainwashed at this point. Look at how you can't say Kofi can have significant matches because they've been trained to believe that you can't possibly want to see a match without wanting that person to win the Champion. What if I want to see black performers showcased in black history month but don't care for Kofi winning? Even the great mind nWoWolfpacTV was foiled by this closed-minded thought process which is exactly what they want to happen. Its really not complicated - when you've reached the bottom, at least let the lava sputter.
The Young Bucks are backyard-tier joke wrestlers that were complete jobbers in TNA, as they rightfully should have been regarded.
They managed to spin this joke image into an ironic deconstruction of wrestling and found success on the indies in front of a slumming hipster audience that loves anytime someone takes a beloved blue-collar American Institution such as professional wrestling and makes a mockery of it.
Ironically, this ironic style is what kicked off Hulk Hogan's mainstream success after Rocky III. The differences being that Hogan was not regarded as a joke in the beginning of his career, nor after the hipsters interest waned as wrestling became too mainstream to be an ironic fan of.
What this means for AEW... ??? Blue-collar fans are not going to watch Double or Nothing and see anything they are interested in.
John Cox
Just watch NJPW, faggot

Why can’t you just not be alive?

Spider-man is only a twink sometimes, and in his most popular periods was a good sized hero. >Antman literally who >Wolverine not a twink >Harley Quinn depending on art style she is often drawn as pretty swole >Joker dude is fucking huge, don't know what you're talking about here
I'm watching NJPW and there are quite a lot of fairly big guys. Not Ryback big, but fairly beefy and strong looking (not overly cut twinks like Fag Balor).
Xavier Watson
Wrestling appeals to nerds now not white trash. The dumb white trash that liked the wrestling you describe, because they kind of thought it was real and it was trashy, are either still watching WWE, UFC, or garbage deathmatch wrestling.
It's not just about size, it's about talent. Talent that can't be showcased in Japanese wrestling because it's just a completely different kind of show. Puroresu is fine but it's not for me.
Logan Rodriguez
>that one youngcuck who looks like a gloryhole whore
I don't care about this shitty thread but I just wanted to say that Pentagon looks baller as fuck in that graphic.
Mason Allen
masks are gay as shit, and you shoot yourself for being into that shit
Brody Lee
t. lil whiteboi
Camden Stewart
AEW is just getting started with a small roster. How do you know they aren't going to sign bigger guys with more size?
maybe you are right and its just going to be flippy shit all the time. But I'm willing to give it a chance over something like WWE. Which has mostly been a failure over the years
Owen Barnes
He's just another hipster.
Hudson Butler
Just move on to something else instead of bitching that it's not the 90s anymore online
Wyatt Edwards
What? He is total opposite. First thing he told Aldis when he called him was "Im sick and tired of seeing my next door neighbours doing dance routines in the ring"
He prefers mostly bigger guys that look intimidating and wants to go more of an old school route when it comes to in ring work stuff.
Hudson Wood
>Workrate Disregarded
Michael Wright
look at that photo you posted, look at his background
Because nobode else beside TNA washout and old fucks were going to work with him before Cody wanted his daddy belt. Even now nobody gives a fuck about NWA.
Charles Nelson
>Why the fuck are so many size queens on this board
So the 1,149 people they did their last show (having to literally turn people away from door) means nobody didnt give a fuck about the NWA?
Cooper Edwards
>more money >than fucking batman/superman, the 1a and 1b of Western fiction since the 1940's
Spiderman has MAYBE drawn more dimes than DBZ, but he's the exception. Rest of them don't come close to DBZ, Batman or Superman. Joker's drawing power is literally off of Batman's teat you simp.
Adam Parker
Because manlet flippyshit is cringe.
>Would you watch Dragon Ball Z if all the characters were twinks?
Toyotaro's new designs for the manga are a lot sleaker/twinkier and they actually come under fire. A lot of the consensus leans towards Toriyama's 23rd-Namek Saga (when they started getting more sharp and angled) style. His characters were beefy. So, this is a good point.
Daniel Torres
There are plenty of big lads working around the world but the mainstream scene is ladyboys and super serious athletic women. Mainstream fans want scrawny men and dykes, so if you want big lads you’re going to have to watch more offbeat shows
...but you sound like a whiny cunt, so I’m certain you’ll just make some lame excuse. Enjoy RAW bro.
Nolan Garcia
Aldis is the same as Drew McIntyre. Technically large dudes who still come across as pussies.
