You're right. There's a huge double standard.
But WWE has no one to blame for that but themselves. AEW has the crutch of massive goodwill precisely because WWE used its monopoly to become complacent and lazy.

FIFY
Sad part is he's right, AEW is getting a pass because they're AEW. The librarian shit is up there with the worst of what WWE's done in the past, alongside the Old Day and Bayley's TIYL segments.
If that's the best they can come up with for their debut PPV's, I dread to think of how badly they're going to ruin weekly TV.
I'm not the one saying it, I know it's right but Meltz said it. He shat all over the pre show and a lot of fyter fest.
They aren’t really getting a free pass though. The internet fucking hates the librarian gimmick and the Nakazawa match is spilt pretty 50/50. It was fine imo. A comedy undercard match isn’t going to ruin a show.
kind of a stupid decision to make the entire pre show that's meant to hook people and get sign ups for BR Live 100% gimmicky sports entertainment garbage though when their entire platform is "being an alternative to wwe's stupid bullshit"
It's the second pre-show that's a fucking abortion, it is not a coincidence.
If they think they can have the bucks and cody write the show, they're in for a rude fucking awakening. Might as well get Zandig as head booker.
>to get you invested in this awesome raw show you've been craving for these past 15 years, here's a literal carnival of mudshow wrestling
Imagine if they actually let Russo in creative.
>AEW is getting a pass because they're AEW.
WWE had twenty years of being the only game in town. Do you have any idea how much unanimous hate a startup going against them would get if WWE didn't abuse its position to shit all over the fans? I don't like the people involved in AEW and the fact they're judged on a different standard is blatant but WWE deserve that and then some for killing wrestling in America because HAHA PAL, WHO CARES ABOUT THE PRODUCT, IT'S GOOD SHIT AND IF THEY WANT TO WATCH WRESTLING IT HAS TO BE MINE
I FUCKED UP!
I FUCKED UP!
I FUCKED UP!

>meltzer is bai-
sexual in a lot of things and bailingual ain't one of them.
AEW has goodwill from me. WWE has pissed on my face for 18 straight years so I hate it.
100% this. AEW can afford to piss on my face once or twice before I start complaining.
Sounds like you just like pee on your face.
>TFW it’s a matter of time until they hire Russo
Leva Bates has to be one of the worst wrestlers ever.
SO BAD at everything
I hope they scrap the librarian shit. Tonight showed no one fucking cares and it's cringe. I don't mind comedy in wrestling, but that is just too much, and I like Joey Ryan.
Wow. Dave being objective for once
That's not true at all. WWE fans (especially NXT fans) love meme gimmicks. Bates was over in WWE as Bluepants. That librarian gimmick would get over in NXT.
Her gimmick is she is a cos player who isn’t attractive, so the fatties think they stand a chance. She will do porn in your lifetime
Oh look at mister high-falutin "I don't like being urinated on" over here
Yeah but if it was WWE they would have continued that shit angle, put it in the upper midcard/main event scene and shoved it down our throats. It was the pre-show. It was shit, but it was in the right spot and it didn't affect my enjoyment of the main card which I enjoyed. Yes I agree, if this happened in WWE the double standard is there and it would have been shit on, but still AEW did the right thing putting something potentially bad off the main show.
holy droneoli
The Leva Bates stuff would've been shit on in any promotion, and deservedly so.
Jebailey is take it or leave it wrestling comedy. WeeLC, Yano matches, all stupid but can be entertaining if executed properly.
name one person that enjoyed weelc or yano
>Jebailey is take it or leave it wrestling comedy.
I'm fine with it because it's a common thing they've done at CEO for the last couple years now. It's a funny, novel "one and done" thing that they'll do maybe once a year. It's fine.
That Librarian shit was cringe tho. Kill it asap.
You have shit taste if you don't enjoy Yano
yes meltzer is bae
no i'm just not a cock gobbling weeb with no friends that wishes he was japanese so he laughs at unfunny japanese le oops man """""humor"""""
Yano does expressive physical comedy like you'd see in silent films in the 1920s. That shit transcends all language/cultural barriers. If you're gonna fix on his nationality and insist you don't "get" what he does because he is Japanese that's just on you for being a dumbshit.
the fact that you think you need to explain this says more about you than me lol. 20s movies aren't funny. physical comedy and OOPSIE DAISY isn't funny. you're a retard and redditor.
what an irrationally angry response
complete with childish namecalling and all
what a sperg out lol
They did use Leva Bates in NXT and she got to over
Already dead
everybody gets over for 6 months in NXT
She wasn't over. The blue pants were over.
Reminds me of how fans used to defend WWE for stuff they'd tear into TNA for doing.
*sips brandy and laughs at a pie in the face*
My enjoyment aside and the AEW part of that aside, you really think WWE wouldn't do that?
The "I
Kevin Nash had consensual gay sex with a black man during the steamy hot summer of 1992.
ya gotten to
I have no problem with a comedy match with a non wrestler on a house show in a dark match. Especially since Nakazawa is based and one of my faves for like 12 years. The Librarian shit sucks because the gimmick hasn't developed and they're doing random confusing shit, plus Leva Bates is shit.
>Might as well get Zandig as head booker.
Based, they should
HOLY CRINGOLA
Imagine being too stupid to enjoy based Buster Keaton, let alone too stupid to understand fucking Yano. 8 year old Japanese boys understand that and they can't even open their eyes all the way.
kwab
>At 364 days, Steen's reign came to an end when he was pinned by LuFisto at CZW's Trapped, who became the first woman to win the title.[11]
Owens said he was "shitposting" when he suggested it to Zandig and he went "I like it, do it".
Imagine if he booked the tranny to win the AEW world title, they would get shot in the streets.
>Imagine if he booked the tranny to win the AEW world title, they would get shot in the streets
They would get so much millennial attention if they did that, not a huge issue.
Zandig would book himself in all of the angles which is also based.
>They would get so much millennial attention if they did that, not a huge issue.
Not if it was the only "woman" to ever win the title, implication being a man won it.
I get where you're coming from, but a trans person being promoted at all is big press.
what the fuck is he wearing hahahaha
he was wearing a tye dye hoodie and took it off and tied it around his shoulder
looks like a fag
well shit ya aint gotta get hot about it
it's not even his worst look
You say this like Zandig being head booker would be a bad thing. It would improve AEW by 100% tho. Should also get Brett Lauderdale while they are at it.
no, tye die hoodie over the top of a black polo is worse
The Leva Bates match was absolute cringe
