>move damage am I retarded and interpreting this wrong or are they legit saying wrestling moves will be given a power level?
Elijah Scott
It will have story you fucktard, did matches before the garbage "golden era" lack story? No.
Wyatt Bennett
Too bad wrestlers doesnt look like wrestlers and the style is not what pro wrestling foundation was built on. I rather watch circus than sub 6 foot guys doing flips.
Oliver Watson
>Real time statistics including win/loss rate awful idea for pro wrestling everyone has to lose some time >move damage cringe what the fuck are you talking about they're going to have hitpoints? that's fucking awful
Landon Baker
They litterly say it won't be soapy. How will they have stories?
that's all you fucking marks argue about >ZOMGS HE KICKED OUT OF THE ANUS DRIVER fucking faggots you should embrace this shit
Brody Adams
You can have stories and still not be "soapy". Doesn't UFC have stories? Doesn't NFL have stories? Doesn't Breaking Bad have stories? You just grew up on one specific type of wrestling. There are other possibilities.
Nathaniel Parker
New Japan tells its stories in-ring, and doesn't rely on "soapy" promos or other bullshit, maybe the occasional video package. That's probably what they mean
Andrew Rodriguez
you can have in ring storytelling like NJPW instead of opening every show with a half hour of talking by Baron Corbin or the McMahons
Ian Jackson
>has to lose some time Yes. They have to. But if you make the losses mean something (see ending Undertake streak), you will elevate person who gets the win.
Jose Diaz
Never drew a dime in American soil after kayfabe was fully out the window. Thats why AE was so succesful, they embraced the fact that they were a soap opera.
Ayden Barnes
I wasn't saying it's a bad idea I am just surprised they would do something so expositional. Nothing wrong with trying new things I suppose....
Gabriel Cox
Yikes
Nathaniel Young
No, it´s so easy as to have an internal system where all the wrestlers know how the moves must be sold, and not giving to the audience a ridiculous spot fest
Juan Barnes
Literally Plebbit: the syndication >Built off ripping off the work of the original (Yea Forums) >Focus on workrate (on topic discussion) over entertainment (shitposting) >Diversity first >Grandiose view of themselves, believes they will "change the world" Any argument you can make about supporting AEW you can make about supporting Plebbit over Yea Forums, so maybe you should head on home
>He kicked out of FIVE F5s!? yea, super new numbnuts
Angel Fisher
>5'2 At least the circus midgets are charismatic
Hudson Foster
yes i'm not nine so i understand how writing works. displaying a win/loss record is fucking stupid though. should we have the fact that jericho lost to naito to get a title shot in NJPW be rubbed in our face on screen during the build up? you fucking imbecile
Nicholas Campbell
so you’re saying AEW will be more successful than WWE?
Bentley Hall
the idea of wrestling moves having varying degrees of power is obviously not new, stupid nigger. but for them to put POINTS or a SCORE on moves outside of a video game isn't something you see every day
Colton Ramirez
Reminder Sammartino was like shoot 5'8 and he was the biggest draw of all time still is to be honest in burgerland
Dominic Nelson
That sounds awful. Soap opera draws.
Michael Long
>never drew a dime WCW drew major dimes and weren't always a shitty soap-opera show with "edgy" garbage like WWF
Wyatt Collins
Well, sure this look moronic but they MUST do something different A wwe indielite can only crash and burn
Jeremiah Perez
nWo was fucking kino soap opera every week
Parker Hall
This sounds like WMAC Masters except really dumb.
Jaxson Campbell
plebbit aka r/squaredcircle is basically r/wwe, so whatever retarded point you're trying to make is moot.
Jordan Torres
And most of the stories were in the ring and in-ring interviews/segments not a promo with Hulk Hogan watching the fucking TV backstage with his arms crossed
Robert Cooper
towards the end it was cringey soap opera yes but not when it was in its prime
Charles Lopez
But they had these guys. Now compare this to geeks like Young Bucks.
Yes but it has transgendered shit and other cúck shit. I'll stick to not watching wrestling.
Jaxon Kelly
I ain't a fortune teller, approaching different industries with similar tactics has varying results
Aiden White
Wow, watch it do under a million viewers
Tyler Taylor
TNT is prime-time television numskull, it'll be upwards of 2 Million viewers
Michael Bailey
The overarching story is "the competitors want to work their way up the ranks and become champion", what's difficult to grasp about that?
Benjamin Cox
Not with their roster. You smarks are really delusional.
Adrian Cruz
I can't wait to see Joey Ryan's real life sports based dick offense and Manlet Scurll flap his wings into victory
Brayden Martinez
You are a smark, mate. So I guess you are delusional as well?
Kevin Lee
yikes imagine being this delusional. It might do good numbers for the first few weeks due to curiosity and then a constant decrease, at best plateauing
Kayden Clark
Didn't they just sold out madison square garden while being dragged down by ROH?
Andrew Bailey
Are you ready for Monday Night Wars, Part 2?
Brandon Martinez
What does drawing ~20k arena on WM weekend has to do with getting 2 million people in front of TV screen?
Asher Ortiz
the only one delusional is you e-fags that think everything needs to apply to WWE's business ethnic and/or logic, prepare to get blown the fuck out
>The promotion will be based around winning a shitty plastic toy LOL this is why no one takes wrestling seriously
Kayden Lee
And you are just getting angry at one sentence. Remember when you saw "everyone will get paid the same" and made dozens of threads how Britt Baker will be paid same as Jericho? Why are you cherry picking something to be angry about it? Who hurt you? Have you picked up a girl in a bar just to discover "she" packs a giant cock?
Isaac Moore
No, im not the one going to his defense mechanism of yelling E DRONES and WWE
Isaiah Smith
E drones do it every week so ask them.
Zachary Brown
It won't. Because workrate bingo halls are workrate bingo halls out of necessity. It is to draw money out of their local fanbase and booking wrestlers without any semblence of story and hoping some of their local guys are able to be interesting enough to build a story and main event with a story match and not workrate match later. But if they do - nobody outside of their local fanbase ever talks about it. Why? because nobody else follows the story from the beggining to the end.
John Roberts
That’s my dream date
Ayden Reed
Not an argument.
I knew this would happen. Tony Khan is literally lifelong marksheet reader and this will be BTFO just as much as his relegaged football league.
Is it that hard to protect your finisher? Randy's been doing it since he was 19. It's simple, just tell your opponent...
>"You can kick out of whatever you want, even my special moves, but when I hit my finisher, you're done period. If you're gonna win tonight, I don't hit my finisher."
It's that simple.
Joseph Anderson
redd*t spacing
Austin Nguyen
Scott hall did that first
James Edwards
So he studied the wrestling buisness his whole life? Surely he will fail at the wrestling buisness
Xavier Cook
Sorry bro I have enchanted wrestling trunks that give me +5 defense against stunner-type damage *crit slaps my thigh*
Aiden Myers
>move damage holy kek not even wwe are this retarded
Elijah Perry
>taking shitposting seriously worked
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Only the second thing sounds based tho.
Alexander King
less soap shit is also based unless you're a women or a fag who soys out over that garbage
Jose Thomas
Yeah. Show me data that le 5 star workrate matches is the key to mass audience. Smarks are like 0.00001% of the possible audience available.
>attitude era was literal soap opera for men with 10 mil people watching
What did he mean by this? But I know AEW will have soap opera, they cant just have pure wrestling every week and draw viewers
Chase Wright
Japan is the furthest thing removed from US.
William Harris
This is AMERICAN TV. Not Japan where wrestling culture is completely different.
Cameron Perry
Gooks dont count as people
Xavier Lopez
>keeps bumping the tread >I-I-I'm not taking w-w-worked I s-swear!! ya worked, ya seething, ya ding-dong diddly coping basedboy
Asher Taylor
>"the competitors want to work their way up the ranks and become champion" So the same story WWE has twice (thrice if you count NXT) a week?
Chase Long
>completely moves the goalpost
Lucas Richardson
Problem with WWE is that they are not soapy enough.
Bentley Howard
You can't compare PAC to Sammartino
Aiden Morgan
>>Aims to be less “soapy” and more based on athletics and in-ring competition.
This is not going to work.
Lincoln Harris
WCW was absolutely a soap opera at its peak. The whole arc of WCW vs. NWO, Sting vs. Hogan, DDP vs. Macho Man, it was a giant soap opera. Did you actually watch it?
Ayden Stewart
Literally just watch any individual sporting contest then? Nobody is going to care about a fake competition if this is all you are offering. This isnt japan (where btw wrestling is also niche as fuck)
Jackson Lee
>I watch fake fighting for the fake athletics even though I know it's fake and several real alternatives readily exist Sort your life out, homie
Luis Price
think i'm done with this cringe shit
Bentley Nguyen
AEW is basically WWE-Lite lmao
Noah Green
You were never watching to begin with my man.
Jonathan Gutierrez
>Real time statistics including win/loss rate Doesn’t matter when everyone knows this shit is fake
Thomas Nguyen
>Aims to be less “soapy” and more based on athletics and in-ring competition. Wrestling isn't a sport. It's a TV show. Cody is fucking clueless as usual. >Wrestlers have more control over their characters. Oh boy get ready for more unbridled Joey Ryan penis spots >Real time statistics including win/loss rate, move damage, as you track wrestlers rise to the championship Wrestlers today can't sell anyway so this shit will just expose them more
Nobody wants to watch fake fighting with no characters or story. I couldn't give less of a fuck about "in ring competition" when I watch UFC every weekend for real competition
Smarks are so overweight, out of touch and autistic that they think taking their playfighting bouts extra seriously is what will draw in normie crowds. They fundamentally do not understand why people watch competitive sports.
These nerds think everything is going to immediately be like Okada's record breaking run with Kenny chasing him or Shibata and Goto turning from tag team champs to fighting over the NEVER title The problem is you need the history of the titles and the wrestlers and that takes time. They are quite literally building everything from the ground up and you can't manufacture shit like prestige and trials/tribulations
You're right. PAC is a way better wrestler and better known internationally.
Michael Moore
AEWヾ(。>﹏
Jason Cooper
>no characters or story that's not what we're getting you autist, just less cringe soap opera
Gavin Garcia
No they don't retard. Only Breaking Bad. Tell me the story of Andrew Vollert (football player) without using wikipedia. I bet you don't even watch real sports because the reality hits you that you'll never be able to do what they do, so you watch fat boys and twinks jump and catch each other to feel epic. Kys, mark.
Gabriel Martin
>Who Japan draws weebs and Japs who read backwards and think Mega Man putting a hat on is entertaining and funny.
