Counterprogramming in Wrestling (does it help or is it destructive)

[MenacingMonk]

Dudes pretending to give a shyt about ROH when I was the only one upping the old thread and watching their shows.

Who is ignoring that or saying WWE isn't doing it too?

Y'all really pathetic man. EVERYTHING is "oh but what about WWE" even when you mention them

I ain't playing that game lol I've seen your posts and I'm one of the few here who watches both promotions and I actually spend my money on WWE tickets unlike some of the most staunchest stans on here lmaoooooooo

I can GUARANTEE YOU... I've been to more WWE shows and in the front row more than anyone here unless your name is Green Shirt Guy

Keep that same energy for TNA who is actually still operating as its own company while WWE "raids" them


Either way, your timeline is all fukked up and engaging in any discourse with you is an absolute shyt show as usual, so I'm gonna go run these miles and hit the mariners game.

Please explain how my timeline is “fukked up”?

And I don’t watch TNA so I don’t know what you mean by “same energy.”

Edit: I see where you think the issue is: All In was in 2018 and G1 Supercard was in 2019. AEW was officially announced in January 2019 but didn’t have a show until mid year.

Still, it was the pandemic that killed ROH. They were still operating during Covid and that played a huge role in its demise. Despite being a known name in the industry they were still an independent company.

How do you not get it? You tried turning my post into a stan war and I'm someone who actually spends money on WWE my entire life lol... Why would I spend hundreds of dollars on tickets for something I don't like? Make it make sense breh... the fact is, WWE did all the shyt I said they did

At this point we gotta stop arguing with the same posters who already have their mind made up. They hate AEW but can’t stop talking about it.

Only reason I engaged was because I was quoted. I just pointed out an observation and some facts about the dumb shyt they posted and one of them took offense to being called out.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

How many times have I talked about attending WWE shows, I even put up pictures in the threads and shyt, I have been to a bunch of RAW/SD! and PPVs.

But because I also watch AEW and I criticize WWE booking and/or business practices from time to time, we gotta turn it into some stan thing, don't get it

 

[Reality Check]

What he did to ROH was way worse. First the elite and like 80% of the All In card leaves roh and forms aew. Then he promoted that aew talent can work with other companies and continue to work with roh, and they can work on his show too....then he starts signing all of them from ROH, and guts their roster....then he buys ROH for scraps.

It is also noteworthy that the essential nail in the coffin for ROH was the msg g1 supercard show, which was announced BEFORE all in occured, and had a trash roster from ROH because they were gutted, and aew then used that opportunity to work with NJPW more, and subsequently signed their best talent too.


It's absolutely no less predatory than anything Vince did to AWA or Houston Wrestling

Let's bring some reality here:

1) The All In Event was announced 6 months before the G1 MSG show was announced.

2) If you want to talking about raids, probably should ask yourself why ROH had the contracts for Hangman Page, the Bucks, SCU, and Cody Rhodes all expire at the same damn time. If they aren't under contract, its not a talent said at all.

3) As far as MLW goes, IIRC they only prohibited WWE. Salty Court Bauer only changed the contracts to add AEW once MJF and Pillman Jr. bounced.
