    Ah OK. That means blue Mr. Popo.

    So they're showing the 1999 Power Rangers series? Huh. Anyway I'll check out the debut episode of SMS just for shits and giggles. Who knows, might turn out to be a good show.

    @KassiusOhno ''I'd like to see Justice Pain's shoot interview because I'm a fan of $5 Wrestling.'' Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah

    Those burns are ice fucking cold.

    Japanese fans will also pay to see Taiyo Kae, I wouldn't read too much into it.

    Japanese fans also paid huge dollars to see IWGP Tag Champs Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson.

    Japanese wrestling gave us this:



    They can do no wrong.

    AWPromotions is no more ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your support and hate, it's been a great run. Now I get to do me which isn't PG!
    @TitusONeilWWE & @DarrenYoungWWE thank you for allowing me to speak on your behalf. You guys are the best and I'm glad to call u my friends!
    I've offended the wrong people that taught me how to have ATTITUDE It was the #WWE that made me bold and now it has turned it's back on me
    Let this be a lesson to up and coming talent in the WWE don't try and be great like the Rock or Stone Cold. WWE isn't the same...

    Just be normal shut up and be a yes man so you can collect your check and feel like your special. #SELLOUTS!!

    I remember a time when the WWE didn't care about breaking the mold but now everyone is so afraid of their own shadow.

    Thanks to the fans who showed me support over the whole Kobe thing and to those I upset I apologize again. Remember It's entertainment folks

    I really do hope Linda wins that election because If not then all of this BS has been for nothing. #GoLinda!!

    Thank you WWE for creating me and then killing me because I only portrayed what I grew up watching... The #WWE!!

    So by AW's logic, the WWE became successful on rape jokes. Gotcha.

    I take it he's a bit bitter about the release.

    I just hope this doesn't fuck up O'Neil and Young's potential WWE tag title win. And seriously are the wrestling gods (not JBL) conspiring to keep Vince from re-igniting the tag division?

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom I can't take 6 on at once I'm still an apprentice for gods sakesRegistered User regular
    I was just about to post something like that, wirehead. It seems that every time the tag division gets close to catching fire, the sparks blow out.

    ZbrGzPV.jpg?1
  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    That being said, if they use this an an excuse to fuck over the tag division that's really stupid. Before AW came along O'Neil and Young were showcasing a personality on their own. No need for this to destroy them. Guess we'll find out in the coming weeks.

    There's an obvious solution:

    Just bring Ascension and a few more FCW/NXT teams up. Or team up Rey and Cara.

    The Rey/Cara team might work for a few matches. But I would not have them go for the tag titles.

    I wonder if the PTP's are going to be at the Biloxi, MS house show I'm going to tomorrow and if so then a large portion of the audience will say "Where the fuck is AW?".

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    AW was funny and while he may be acting like a bit of a dick about it, I agree with a lot of his sentiment.

    The Attitude Era was a one time thing and the general culture of 1998 is much different than 2012. They can't go back to it.

  • MagellMagell Registered User regular
    I'd be pissed if I was AW as well. It's kind of a bullshit release. The general culture of now is a lot different from 1998 in that the attitude stuff is everywhere on TV. That stuff is primetime sitcom fare and not something people should lose their job over. WWE has regressed to an '80s mentality instead of staying relevant.

    K-O-W, Kings. Very European.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    If rape jokes are what WWE needs to do to stay "relevant" I'd rather them never getting back to Attitude Era numbers thank you very much.

  • MagellMagell Registered User regular
    Not just rape jokes, but the whole having an attitude and an edge to the characters. They censored people to a time before the '90s. You can hear swearing, and see blood at any given time during prime time, yet you see none of that in WWE anymore.

    Magell on
  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    The blood issue I kind of agree but only if it's done safely. As for language I wouldn't be opposed to the 10 to 11 block being TV-14.

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    And he made one rape joke which was a little while ago and he apologized for.

    It was also pretty funny, but whatever.

    The point is the WWE has lost it's edge, and restricts their talent far too much. That's been apparent for a long time now. Wrestlers just don't have the freedom they used to have to break the generic mold and it sucks. And even when someone pulls it off the WWE will bust them down on a whim(hey Ryder).

    Abraham Washington should have been fired long ago for being shitty. The Prime Time Players can still do their obnoxious heel gimmick. Nothing of value was lost here.

    3 words; Summer of Punk. At least the beginning of it. But you are right about other WWE guys which is why I'm such a fan of Dean Ambrose. He can pull off "edgy" in a PG environment like Foley did in 1996. Same thing for Bray Wyatt and to a lesser extent Damien Sandow.

    And while they did bust down Ryder, he didn't get over by swearing or anything.

    Edit: I'm not saying Sandow is edgy or anything just that he has a distinct character he portrays to near perfection. You bring more of those types of guys up WWE will get better even in a PG era.

    The point LOT is making is that Ryder broke the generic mold, and got himself over by being a character, which is what WWE was based on at its peak, and since WWE/Vince didn't come up with it they didn't like it, and it went nowhere.

    Same thing happened to Christian, which is why he left for TNA, and then WWE realized how much people liked him, gave him more money, and brought him back, to basically treat him the same outside of one awesome summer.

  • PwnanObrienPwnanObrien Registered User regular
    A Rhodes/Sin Cara feud could be great. This is maybe one of Sin Cara's best WWE matches so far.

    I should watch Smackdown while downloading DLC for MW3. Instead I will just sit impatiently waiting to play video games.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Sin Cara and Rhodes could have a great feud but I hope it isn't too similiar to Rey and Cody last year, minus the broken nose.

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom I can't take 6 on at once I'm still an apprentice for gods sakesRegistered User regular
    I like how Bryan has graduated to screaming NOOOOOOOO at people who merely walk by him backstage.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    I hope all those empty seats they kept avoiding during Cara/Rhodes won't be a trend for them. Maybe the crowd was still filing in.

    Nice to know AJ's still psychotic.

    Lotta talking so far but at least shits being advanced, plus it seems we might have an added Ryback PPV match that makes sense!

    We've still got Cesaro and Christian to look forward to. And here's AW's swan song.

    AW being released over a dated reference joke is pretty fucking lame.

    Dated or not, a rape joke is still a rape joke, and that's something WWE can't have while Linda's still campaigning.

    Holy crap that Claudio/Christian match was sweet. I'm all for these two feuding.

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom I can't take 6 on at once I'm still an apprentice for gods sakesRegistered User regular
    Vince, however many dollars you want from me, I'll give. Just put Claudio and Christian in a PPV rematch, and give it at least 20 minutes. Please.

    I haven't watched Smackdown in months, maybe even a year, I think I shall continue to do so

    Assuming direct control O-O
