Tiffany apparently was on several tv stations in Lexington. Sadly not the one I work for.

According to WrestleTix Smackdown was at 9,035 tickets as of Friday afternoon. Haven't see a final number.

Who did Sol Ruca and Becky Lynch piss off? Less than three minute match last night.
I think they are just getting to Clash in Italy. Sol is going to have to get better at hitting that Sol Snatcher or change to another finisher. That move almost has to be perfect and she hasn’t hit it much on the main roster.

Clash in Italy has a better card than Wrestlemania for a Secondary PPV.

She’s so athletic and creative it’s too bad she didn’t already have an alternative finisher ready on the main roster. Sounds like SNME was pretty good and not a ton of commercials.

Haopy Double Or Nothing Day!! Should be a good show tonight.
Not going through the whole card but I will pick the following.

MJF wins the title back
Edge and Christian win the tag titles
Takeshita beats Okada
Moxley retains
Team Jericho wins Stadium Stampede

IWC/Reddit/AEW marks said WWE was awful bc Jades crew’s gear was a tribute to Michael Jackson but Swerve literally did the same thing 24 hours later and they had no problem with it.
Did anyone on this thread make that complain? Because that is literally the first I’ve heard of that.

Nash is too scatterbrained to have a podcast imo and his co-host won't reign him in. There was a 9 or 12 minute clip I listened to once that was labeled Nash talking about/reviewing the OVW show on Netflix. He talked about it for like two minutes and randomly began speaking about something else entirely and never went back to the show. Contrast that to Cornette and Last spending 45 minutes on episode one of Hulk's doc.
Scatterbrained is the perfect word to describe Nash and your description is exactly the same problem I repeatedly had with him and why I stopped watched the YouTube clips.

That was the best PPV AEW has ever had. Worst match was at worst a 7 out of 10 (I don't count the pre-show). Several 9/10 and 10/10 matches. No ad breaks. No 15-30+ minute breaks between matches. Crowd was other worldly. Kyle Fletcher return. Kevin Knight heel turn.

I can buy AEW PPV's being great but I've heard that almost every PPV is one of their best of all time and seen fans claim that like 47 Dynamites are top five for the year that the constant hype is just...silly? The passion is certainly there but it reminds me of a young movie fan claiming everything they see is a masterpiece. Someone on Reddit called the crowd last night generational. Why can't it just be an amazing crowd that made the show even better? It's gotta be generational and one we'll tell our grandchildren about.

Someone on Reddit said it was the best ppv this decade - people just lack common sense

Dragon literally copied Reddit posts - no original thoughts then tries race/political/derogotory extremes in order to incite people. It’s literally embarrassing and at the intellectual level of a GED student.

Congrats to Edge for continuing his streak of putting zero talent over in his AEW career. But only wwe are the ones that give the belts to older talent?!?!

There’s a reason for that. AEW continues to find ways to improve upon some of their own already staggering standards of PPV quality. If it’s not your thing, fine. Don’t see the point in denigrating others for simply enjoying the content. I would say AEW is about as enjoyable right now as any period of wrestling, for me, dating back to the early 1990s. Is the weekly television excellent? No. But everything is being built enough and the bell to bell action is about as satisfying as I’ve ever seen. That’s just me. I don’t do Reddit. I don’t do old man wrestling podcasts that gatekeep. I just fan. People dismissing AEW because of something someone else said about it is sad. It leaves those people missing out.

I appreciate different opinions it’s the below the belt nonsense by AEW inferiority complex that creates the problem.
This is my post:

^ What about that should bother ANYONE? lol. You say you appreciate different opinions…well, do you really? Does it upset you if someone says they’re enjoying AEW’s current product more than any other recent era? Does it bother you if someone feels that gatekeeping causes people to spend more time talking about what they hate rather than what they enjoy? Does it bother you if I say that podcasters engage in that intentionally because the drama drives engagement? Why not just say, “hey I’m laparkafan and I don’t like it as much”?

You may want to continue the “rivalry” and all that with American Dragon. I’m not interested in it. I don’t care if you think WWE is better, worse, or somewhere close to the same. I don’t come here to stoke the flames of some ideological war. I’m here to talk about a pastime of mine.
