It's absolutely a bit. But it's a hilarious bit in context of where we were 10 months ago.
TJPW show was fun. Suzume and Pom matches were my favorite. Misao/Natsumi match would have been better with subtitles.
Excalibur is a trooper.
One of the real grating things about JR is some of his snarky comments when he hears a move name for the first time. Just shut up dude.
Sunday's TJPW show in the dojo will be a one day tournament to win a voucher for a restaurant with 21 wrestlers competing.
No audience, it just airs live on DDT UNIVERSE at noon JST.
Rules for the matches:
First round to quarter finals:
5 minutes time limit, 2 count fall rules. If it's a draw rock paper scissors to decide the winner.
Semi-finals:
5 minutes time limit, regular 3 count fall rules. If it's a draw the winner wil be decided via a one count fall match without a time limit.
Final:
10 minutes time limit, regular 3 count fall rules. If it's a draw the winner wil be decided via a one count fall match without a time limit.

The Fiend doesn't care so much about the title that he made his own custom version of it
that ship sailed months ago
also I'm not really sure having your world champ be a complete geek loser is the move anyways
AEW Revolution countdown was fucking great, put the whole thing up on Youtube not just in segments
Holy shit lol, they actually did it. I personally don't care about The Fiend at all but holy shit lol. Why did we waste all this time building him up just to job to old Bill LOL?? :\
I feel bad for Bray, Seth, D-Bry, and all the old guys etc that tried to put him over and make him a thing.
What the actual f**k? For what purpose?
Why do they just refuse to let anyone on the current roster not named Roman or Charlotte try and become a thing? It's so f**king confusing. Again, I'm not a Fiend fan at all, but if I'm still angry and confused over it I can only imagine how bad those that are feel!
I cannot comprehend this company at all. Holy shit.

Lol, The Fiend no sold a f**king entire stage thing falling on him and explosions everywhere, then got up and won the belt.
Had invincible cheat codes on where he stopped taking damage from Daniel Bryan for no reason.
But a couple of spears and botched finishing move from the 50+ year old guy who wrestled back in the day at that company you spend every waking moment trying bury still 1, 2, 3 EZ PZ NEW CHAMP!!
:|
He couldn't even f**king get him up for the Jackhammer, the one thing he had to do in the 2 seconds long match, the one part that needed to look good right before you pin The Fiend. Nope!
Part time Bill naturally shows up ONE WEEK before the blood money show, gets given a title shot for no reason, after litearlly almost killing himself and The Undertaker last time, suuure let's give that man a title run!

Lololol at the torn groin tights and clean shaven Trips, the worst look for his worst run with his worst matches, very poetic.I'll do a quick one for HHH
RANKED
1. It's 1999 - 2002. It's My Time. I am gassed to the fucking gills, I can work, and Stephanie's looking kind of pretty.
2. It's 2013 - 2016. Years of trying to be Ric Flair have ruined my hair. What's a wellness policy
3. It's 2016 - current. I am Kratos and I will own all this shit. Thanks for the fruit basket, marks
4. It's 1997 - 1999. I miss Nash and Hall and fuck, Shawn's gone now too.
5. It's 2007 - 2012. I am the top face of Smackdown for some reason. I'm kind of bloated and my hair is really stringy but my DX merch money let's me sleep soundly at night
6. It's 1995. What do you mean "that doesn't sound like an English accent"?
7. It's 2005 - 2007. I am a face now. Look at my Harley Race mustache brother
8. It is 2003. I am a fat bitch
Personally I never minded the stache look but I suppose coming off the worst made it a lot better.
A bold choice to tackle a man who ultimately kept the same look for as long as he could until his hair failed him.

- Brock Lesnar vs. Ricochet: -*
- Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin: **
- Bayley vs. Naomi: **1/4
- Goldberg vs. The Fiend: 1/4*
went all the way to the negative star with Brock/Ricochet

Sounds about right. 4.25 or 4.5 for me, but so much of this stuff is based on your gut reaction to things.
lmao at the negative star for Brock vs Ricochet, Dave's a mark
WWE actually actually call Corbin, King Corbin now?
How do you all not choke to death on vomit when watching this shit.

DDT show's been fun so far. Kinda awkward without fans, and DDT's dojo being so claustrophobic doesn't help things, but the matches have been good.

How many in this thread are left who regularly watch Raw & SD
has to be in the single digits for sure
less than five?
Probably more but with all of the bullying and shaming this thread does I can't blame them for posting more.
The people who think Raw is a quality product they enjoy warching?
This thread even of GAF was always critical as fuck. Even in like 2014 people would say to just listen to Review-a-Raw. All people did was complain about Reigns push or how Bryan was treated or speculating what his health condition was etc etc.
Very little has changed.

I'll never shame or begrudge someone for what they like, not seriously anyways. I love some stuff that is pretty trash when viewed critically. We've all got stuff like that.
And I'd like to think most who take jabs here are doing it with a similar tone, but I can see how that would be hard to get into with how much this community just kinda is the people it has been for a long while. So we all kinda know the score with one another for the most part and how to either ignore or roll with the punches of each other.
All that is to say I don't know if the issue is as much genuine destestment of anyone who likes Raw or anything, more the issue is just that we're kinda liberal with our thoughts and jabs and bits with one another.
Bringing back the age of "hostile and insular"
The real nostalgia
I usually watch the first hour of Raw maybe the second rarely do I ever watch the entire show. Smackdown is just bad I usually just watch segments. But NXT is weekly.

MLW EXECS SEEN AT.... | PWInsider.com
www.pwinsider.com
Rumors were going around about MLW & Showtime last month so that all lines up
Wife: "It was an Undertaker match in 2020 what were you expecting?"
Me: "I thought he might at least take his hat off!"
Me: "I thought he might at least take his hat off!"
I wouldn't detest anyone who watches WWE in 2020 because watching WWE in 2020 is punishment enough for supporting that trash fire of a company.
I think that, over the years, we've laid out enough alternatives to their product and why you should consider them. I think we've had discourse about why WWE's product is bad, which sidesteps the ethical problems of supporting WWE with your time, attention, or money. If you choose to continue to support that company and their substandard product, that's on you.

Is there no WWE thread for people that for some reason still want to watch that? I mean if you feel bullied here because people dislike WWE so much, then create your own safe haven. Although it probably would still result in tons of people complaining about how bad the product is.

Based off PPV OTs I just don't really think there are a ton of WWE fans left here
Any decent promotion would have Bianca attack her ass for this.
Bu alas, Happy Black History Month.
