If it didn’t involve the slog of a tv taping, I’d probably head to Rupp on Friday. I’d love to see Nakamura before he retires.

As dumb as it is, I'm enjoying most of the Danhausen stuff. The backstage segment with him tinkering in his "lab" fell flat but the in front of the crowd stuff has been golden. I watch Svengoolie/House of Svengoolie and it's that type of humor. What's funny is Cornette and Last wanted to bury his match with Kit but as they described Kit being cursed and the pyro "shooting up his butt", they were laughing their asses off. It's really silly but it is working.

Dragon wants to die on the 'Danhausen is terrible' hill but it's only because WWE and DH have sold the hell out of this and it's more over than anything in AEW, including (I'm going there) Darby. Yes, Danhausen is more over than Darby. AEW could've had a short segment here and there for him and promoted him to a point where his merch was flying off shelves and kids were dressed like DH but mainstream marketing isn't TK's wheelhouse.

Ya it’s the biggest difference between wwe and AEW - Wwe sees the macro picture (Danhausen makes us money and sells merch + cm punk too) AEW sees the micro picture (I’ll put danhausen on ice for whatever reason + I fear for my safety with cm punk)

No, I've never liked Danhausen's shtick. It's stupid, childish, clown bullcrap, which makes it perfect for the creative state WWE is in right now.

If it were happening on the indies or AEW people would be berating it. Oh wait that's right it was happening on the indies and a little bit in AEW and people were.

It was consistently amongst the worst things on AEW TV in AEW's first five years along with Jericho and Codyverse bullcrap and not once did I ever go, "you know what would have made this show better? More Danhausen." But I did go "you know what would have made this show better? Less Danhausen"

Right because adult wrestling fans love the Costco group that shows up - real wrestling graps with that kid and his dad?

Not looking good for Kaiser.

Also, why is he and presumably Tiffany Stratton (his girlfriend) taking a shared lift? WWE salaries so bad these days that they can't afford their own?

Not trying to hi-jack the thread but I figured there'd be somebody nice enough in this thread to point me in the right direction. I just signed up. I used to post on rupp rafters before it changed over. My username was Demarcus Kidd-Miller. Can somebody tell me how i go about getting my username back or at least changing the username to something new. I appreciate any help.

The fact you are incapable of telling the difference between the two shows exactly how and why WWE is able to get away with treating their fans like idiots year after year.

I just went to look at how you do it and it appears it is not possible by the user. Perhaps a mod can help you out but I don’t know the name of any of the mods to tag them for you.
