General Wrassling III: I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!

[Delirium]

So it is apparently a thing now that some 'fans' are mad that pro wrestling press got press credentials to All In. They believe the writers only gave All In good reviews because of this. In case you needed a reminder on how detached from reality some people are.

[Zealot]

Yes, All In only got good reviews from journalists covering the event because they were treated like journalists covering the event. Where's the guy who is not only openly hostile to pro wrestling, but was also held down and beaten with chains while forced to watch the show on a shitty stream? His stars are the only ones that matter.

Speaking of the press and All In.

Fair warning, it's pretty long, even for a Ringer article.

[NynJa]

Not all of them will succeed. The progenitor of wrestling YouTube, WWE’s Zack Ryder, saw his show’s momentum peter out years ago, his career plateauing along with it.

Wasnt the problem with Ryder the fact that WWE wanted in on what he was doing with YT? And they didnt like that he was getting over on his own?

[Zealot]

That in and of itself is a problem.

The rigidity WWE locked itself into in regards to pushing wrestlers, which I believe can be traced back primarily to 2004's Brock Lesnar departure though there are certainly progenitors which fed into that, has been the primary cause for the degradation of the brand.

[Melena]

Yeah, Vince and Dunn still want to see wrestling as it was in the 80's, where 6'4 260 was considered a lightweight. And what Vince wants, Vince gets. It wasn't until WCW started kicking their ass, especially with the NWO thing did he finally seem to let others get their point of views in, and let Rock and Austin kind of do their thing and build from there. But now that he's back on top he's back to the you're only a star if I want you to be a star, and I will knee cap you and run you into the ground if you get over on your own. CM Punk to an extent, and Daniel Bryan being the notable exceptions, and even then they still got knee capped a bit with Punk never allowed to main event anything, and DBry's constant referral of being just a B+ player.

I'd be shocked if AJ and Charlotte don't win from that, but Finn and Bayley <3

[Xno Kappa]

Asuka and Miz had some pretty hilarious moments together last MMC. I remember Asuka getting the pin, and a half-dead Miz because of Strowman screaming "our streak!" I couldn't stop laughing for like a good five minutes about it lmao.

[Nitsuki]

Smackdown is fucking great

[Anoat]

Holy crap man, looks like 80% of the arena bailed on 205 Live. That’s sad.
