*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

Do you have any examples of this? Curious about what you're referring to.

Tiffany Stratton and Mercedes Mone - the rich self entitled cowardly heel champion/wrestler

Drew McIntyre vs CM Punk - Swerve vs Hangman. You dont deserve to be here/ having the championship trope

Gunther vs any Big Man - part of it is I just dont get Gunther ill be honest

The Young Bucks - The evil athourity figures. WWE has done the evil authority figure a lot to high praise

Brian Danielson last match - lots of people complained bearing in mind where the match was held and the stipulation

I do think Hangman and Swerve deserve to be called homegrown top tier talents. They simply weren't anywhere near this level prior to AEW.

Ill add Toni Storm, she was doing the J O B and getting cake thrown in the face on WWE

Swerve and Hangman are good shouts as far as people they've done a good job of elevating go - Swerve in particular. But I was thinking of the sort of figures who move the needle and make you want to tune in specifically because they're there. MJF types.

Tbf, Timeless era Toni Storm is someone I tune in for, but that's me

Fair enough if you're not into any of this stuff, but these don't (to me anyway) feel like examples of AEW doing a thing and being criticised, and WWE doing more or less the exact same thing and being praised. Not in recent memory anyway. I mean the heel authority figure trope is certainly played out, but WWE haven't used it in years. Probably pre-COVID when they last did it.

Well those tons of wrestling podcasts you find on YouTube tells a different story

Right.

Looks quite good, but man does it look sad and depressing. I loved ECW back in the day, and especially Raven, but so much of it is so tough to watch nowadays. I think I'll pass on this.
