Well yeah, but let me tell you anyway about how it's exactly like Stalin editing out people from pictures.

Re: AEW Trios Championship belts have been made

Trios titles are never an overwhelming success... but now I understand why they've made such a big deal out of getting guys into threes... 6-man belts have been teased almost since the beginning (and technically still are), so it's kinda shocking that they've introduced the FTW and TBS titles befor...

Re: AEW Trios Championship belts have been made

It would only be the 12th title on AEW/"ROH" TV, no big deal. "We have a lot of great trios here," Khan said. "I am very interested in it. I will be 100% honest with you, this is the most blunt answer I could give, I am much more receptive to doing it when Kenny Omega is bac...

Re: Candice LeRae's WWE contract expires, now a free agent

Maybe they're big fans of Quill18? Makes about as much sense as just coming up with that name on their own and thinking "yep, that's the one!".

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/4/2022 Dynamite

Having all three together is just overkill, especially if the idea is to push Willy Utah of all people. I think Dub fans were intrigued to see where this Bryan-Moxley pairing was going at first, maybe expecting a Two Man Power Trip storyline with a tag run and putting a new team over before the inev...

Re: BRM Reviews the 5/4/2022 Dynamite

833k this week... I don't feel like repeating myself yet again because it's just the same problems over and over, but I'll say this though : if Khan doesn't start delegating many of his billion tasks to people who know what they're doing, AEW is running straight into a wall at full speed. No, they'r...

Re: WarnerMedia Property 'Ringleaders' Sends Out Survey Saying A New AEW Show Is Coming To TBS

Can't really fault them for trying to appease their new Discovery overlords with some kind of reality TV show that'll cost almost nothing to produce, but is a kayfabe behind-the-scenes show (that's what it sounds like at least) really what the dub fans wanna see?

Re: Day-to-Day Quote Topic

i swear he signed a new contract not long ago, right? that was a quick turn around. I'm guessing Stokely getting fired opened his eyes that the whole reason he was there was to put over those two diamond thing dudes I'm sure Roddy always knew he was in that faction to help the Creeds and Nile to a ...

Re: Dakota Kai, Malcolm Bivens, Dexter Lumis among ten WWE NXT releases

With the latter three, while your reasons are exactly correct, the surprising thing is that they were all somewhat still being used just last week, they're not names that had been fizzled out or that had nothing going on for them Looks like they all put people over on the way out at least, but WWE ...

Re: Dakota Kai, Malcolm Bivens, Dexter Lumis among ten WWE NXT releases

Eh, the only mild surprise is the vague Lesnar lookalike considering the hype around him when he signed, but I assume he (and the other newer guys/girls on the list) just wasn't impressing/improving much. Lumis is getting up there in age and while he plays the silent psycho really well, it also has ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 4/20/2022 Dynamite

We'll have to disagree abut Kingston (and I certainly don't think he's merely a "pseudo tough guy." If he's really a huge wimp and this is all a character he has created, then props to him for doing his job well) in terms of ability and gimmick. Didn't say he was a wimp IRL (I don't know ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 4/20/2022 Dynamite

I don't think that's fair to Kingston. Kingston's promos and actions at least have a point. Archer's don't. Kingston feels like a real person. Archer feels like a tool of the booker. Never cared for Kingston when he was still an indy guy. Maybe his pseudo tough guy act worked in something like CHIK...

Re: BRM Reviews AEW Battle of the Belts II

Scrap for the Straps is pretty much an extra hour of Rampage, which itself is 99% of the time filler. Once again, periodic TV supercards could still work today, but they're redundant and kinda pointless when you're loading your weekly TV show(s) with big/gimmick matches, HUGE ANNOUNCEMENTS and GAME-...

if you hire a company to analyze what the negative opinions of your company are in order to address them, you obviously have to use your own data, if you can even consider social media as your 'own data'.
