It's a shame two veterans can't behave in the locker room.
Hopefully our fearless EVPs Nicholas Lee and Mathew Ronjon Jackson can have a meeting with them
Copeland and Eddie clearly went into business for themselves in their promos. Personally, I think the EVP'S should fine their asses and maybe even suspend them without pay.
Whatever it is, something needs to happen because you know it's true. There's no way Cutler would risk his reputation as a wrestling journalist to take sides here.
Lol aew locker room is a god damn high school. I'm sure he called out the young bucks about some of their stupid bullshit and they got offended.
That entire company is run by a handful of the wrestlers and anyone who questions them is gone soon after. Not to mention they completely reject any advice or help from the older wrestlers
I think you've missed the joke; so to respond to some of your post at face value.
Assuming you're talking about the apparent beef Punk had because Page said he didn't really take advice much. Should Page have to? At the time he said that he was 14 1/2 odd years into his career, if you exclude the 7 years where Punk did something else, Page has only wrestled for about 3 1/2 years less than Punk.
In any case, i'm pretty sure Page said that with tongue firmly in cheek anyway, and what he was getting at was that you can't just do what someone tells you and assume its going to work, you have to take the chance and figure out how to do it yourself, your own way. Which I think is a pretty reasonable take for a guy who'd been wrestling for more than 14 years at the time, including 6 years since he'd first started on NJPW shows, and 3 years of wrestling on AEW TV.
He wasn't some fricking n00b especially given he was after all the champion at the time that all went down.
I appreciate you actually explaining it but does Hangman Page share a bank account with his mother that'll tell me everything I need to know about him
There's a big line of older wrestlers or people who know the business that have expressed that the culture at aew is "we're already amazing so you can't teach me shit". Meanwhile you have 40 something years olds like the young bucks, calling themselves the new generation when they're at retirement age
That long line is totally overblown as there's just as many stories about talk about the relationships between some of the vets and some of the youngsters.
And in defense of some of those at AEW, it was setup to be something different to WWE, and the top of the card had plenty of folks who had got over and made money outside of the WWE. I think there's a reasonable case that they might not have needed to learn as much. And any WWE vet coming in may well have needed to pick their brains; at least in the early days anyway.
Whatever aew set out to be, I just see mid 90s wcw all over again, there's a glass ceiling and you won't get through it unless you're liked by a certain clique. And if you ever rise and take away any of their spotlight, you're now their enemy. Anyways, I give it another year or two before aew is down to impact levels of viewers, if they can even keep a tv contract
Aew and the bucks is like watching GLOW with guys. It's just a bunch of clowns doing the fakest shit, while winking at the audience, and doing bad sketches. it's cringe, it's a garbage show. There's really no reason for me to worry much about it.
I just see mid 90s wcw all over again
The NWO was 1996.
And WCW 1996-1998 was possibly the best 3 year stretch of any professional wrestling company ever, and is certainly by far my favorite period ever.
So I sincerely hope that AEW becomes "mid 90s wcw all over again."
Yeah exactly, and what happened to wcw? But actually I do take that back. Wcw was actual competition, they beat wwf for over 80 weeks and then for a solid couple years back and forth. Aew isn't competition. Aew would like to think they are, but that's like saying ECW was competition for wwf, it wasn't.
Who are these "young bucks"? If you are referring to the EVPs of this company, please show them respect by using their god-given names.
If they did maybe they should've tried talking to the Bucks as men.
They started the whole damn company and deserve some respect as EVPs
Lol! They're a joke and if they're evps who started the company (a company someone else actually started) why are they going around attacking their employees and booking themselves as top guys? That's some Kevin Nash bullshit
I was watching a movie the other day. I knew it was fake the whole time, yet none of the actors stopped halfway through to explain to me that they're in fact actors, this is fake, and explain to me how they made it, then go and made a podcast about it while arguing with fans on social media. In fact the movie was better, because everyone in it and making it took it seriously, imagine that.
Like I've said, aew is just GLOW, it's a tv show, and nobody respects it or takes it seriously
See you in 2 weeks! (Act civil per the rules you agreed to when you started posting here or find the door.)
3rd, but first 'real' one if we wanna count it like that.
1st was this 1 person who I guess I pissed off one day months ago by downvoting her assbite of a comment on some other community and began just downvoting my posts and comments anytime I'd make em. Then she'd come here to SQ with zero history of interaction whatsoever and kept downvoting comments and posts I made so she was banned. 2nd was that bot from the other day who made 1-2 sus comments and never did anything else lol.
Son'll get a 2nd chance once he cools down proper and we see if he can read the rules lol.
Eh. Fuck em. If he wants to troll, he needs to at least pull from a newer playbook than "AEW Hater: 2020 Edition"
