Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted October 10, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 10, 2023 Wrestling promoters have more digs than Time Team, but they are usually more sly about it. TK is just on full charge because they've moved Dynamite opposite NXT and he doesn't know how his current EWR save can process that. He's just lashing out because it might crash and if it does he doesn't know how he'll book Collision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organizedkaos Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 It drives social media engagement. People are discussing it quite a lot on the different wrestling discussion platforms i frequent (although the sentiment being "what a twat")Â I think it's genuinely seen as beneficial in an "any publicity" sort of way.

Not to side with Tony but weren't those specials ordered by the TV company? He puts zero effort into them, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one watches either of those. Battle Of The Belts seems to be made up of matches that can't get on Rampage, and the belts battled for are usually meaningless anyway. I'm sure that one time the ROH North American Junior Heavyweight TBS Intergender 6 Person Tag Team Titles were defended. Spoiler I have made that title up but you couldn't be sure could you.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddymagic Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 For comparisons to Bischoff. That was 25 years ago, during a period when WCW was pretty much coming out on top every week. And he was signing most of WWFs biggest stars to big money deals.  And it didn't last. His later attempts to run it back made him look foolish.  It's not a great look for TK at all (and likewise when HHH made similar jibes) especially when he's running empty arenas and Luke warm at best shows.

d-d-d-dAz Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 This nut bag is off his rocker. Not even sure he’s got a leg to stand on, really, but even if he did he’s gone in so hard on HHH, HBK and Vince today. For a man who talks so frequently about wanting everyone to get along and to be the friendly place for everyone to come and have a smile and a slam, he hasn’t half got an edge when he’s got the hump.

Keith Houchen Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Yeah, embrace childishness and pettiness as it’s funny. Obviously he’d fEaR fOr HiS lIfE if he was in the same room as any of them but that’s what makes snidey little childish attacks work better.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Yeah this is mad even by Khan standards. 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...
