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.

They should be banned from Collision this week at the bare minimum

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.

Forgot about ronjon rofl.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You're working yourself into a shoot with your AEW hatred and it's amazing rofl.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Don't ruin the magic. It's still real for him. lol

A "shoot". Listen to yourself you dork

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

See you in 2 weeks! (Act civil per the rules you agreed to when you started posting here or find the door.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait... was that our first ban?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Eh. Fuck em. If he wants to troll, he needs to at least pull from a newer playbook than "AEW Hater: 2020 Edition"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

They might be EVPs but they're no king!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

😂😂😂OK I officially can't tell if I'm getting worked or if your hatred for the Bucks is so deep your missing the point

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

You worked yourself into a shoot, brother!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

40 is the new 30!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Don't hurt yourself moving those goal posts, buddy.

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."
