The two companies have always had a vibe of friendly competition, and you'd imagine with how much more open WWEs policies tend to be these days in a lot of respects that Triple H is probably the kind of guy who would trade content with AEW at some point in the future if it made good business sense. Then again I suppose more charred bridges than this have been rebuilt. I guess this is what happens when you piss on a billionaire kid's birthday.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me a lot of Jurgen Klopp in that regard. Klopp likes playing the nice guy but the mask slips very often. That said, a cursory glance at the NXT promotion and I fail to see how it is ‘stacked’ iapparently. A load of your usual NXT guys most will never have heard of with a couple of old guys standing around the ring like spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrageous that this sentence leaves the keyboard of the forums biggest Impact fan! I sort of agree, though, but think the chance to even see Cena, Cody and Taker is enough for most people. It’s the entrances and the pageantry and fluff that gets most people tuning in live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been easier to say "The entertainment" really Dazzler, because that's the heart of it. I'd much sooner see Cena make his ring entrance at Full Sail than see AC and his sunshine band face off against Luchasaurus. That might be be just me, I have no love for the Dino Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always seemed pretty petty and nasty from both sides to me. Regardless of who wins the ratings battle the main thing to remember is that they are both pulling out all the stops for only 900k-ish fans which is pretty funny.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted October 10, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 There's throwing the odd bit of shade at the opposition and there's utterly embarrassing yourself in front of the entire world and throwing an e-pissy fit because WWE have got a couple of retirees on. What a berk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I really hope he embarrasses himself on TV tonight. Twitter is one thing but give the guy a live mic. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come now, WWE stacking a show with all their big guns to go up against the AEW show was friendly banter!!  58 minutes ago, Hannibal Scorch said: Until he covers up murders or has multiple rape allegations against him, I’ll still say he’s different Give him time.

Cannibal Man Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 been thinking about this and seeing HHH stack the card like Mania in a move it's basically impossible for AEW to make a dent in and the response coming back as "your cunt mate is bald and your dad's a nonce" is just funny, sorry.

The King Of Swing Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 If only Sniffles put more effort into AEW's women's division, than he does melting down on twitter. Still funny as fuck, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 There's no way they're winning surely? If anything they'll stay fairly stable and he'll make a song and dance about NXT not denting their ratings or whatever. Or he'll wait and count all the catchup ratings or something. They've struggled enough recently. I'd be shocked if they won or came close. But then I didn't think they'd sell out Wembley either so.. we'll see!

Snitsky's back acne Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Meltzer's even reporting Tony's comments on the Observer site. Mind you, he recently reported that Kenny Omega won some video game thing on the site so the standard of what constitutes 'news' nowadays is quite tenuous.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted October 10, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 One day, there’s going to be a book or documentary or even both on Tony Khan with Herb Abrams type of stories. And it’s going to be great. I’d love to know the bat shit stuff he says and does around the wrestlers. He’s already weird enough at the post show scrums with facial expressions and certain things he says. That time he awkwardly hugged Okada always springs to mind. There’s got to be some great stories behind the scenes already. Bet those WhatsApp groups are popping. For all of Vinces worst aspects as a human being and some of the stuff he has come up with, you feel like he’s someone the wrestlers respect and also fear in some ways. He was/is an actual boss. The locker room must just laugh at Khan and take the piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
