AEWtists getting uppity again.

People need to go watch old TNA and WCW to see what a failure promotion is
Half of the problem in AEW right now is allowing Cope and Moxley to dominate the main event scene

 

[Hijo de D. Woodchucks Jr.]

It makes me laugh when wrestling fans who never leave their bubble think that Shad is probably ashamed of Tony and AEW when in reality Shad would probably kill to have the Jaguars and Fulham have the level of success AEW has had. AEW is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down the list of that dude's problems.

Success?

When you say old TNA, what do you mean?

the entire card of AEW is rotten from the opener to the main event, its not just Copium and Moxley, Tony is fumbling virtually everything, you have Omega and Okada feuding over the midcard belts, Toni and Sashit shitting up the Womens division, and the tag team division practically falling apart, their is no fixing AEW, even people who were intially fans are now realziing this

Honestly pick an era. I’ll go to bat for TNA, but they cycle rapidly through “The we’re on the upswing, disaster happens, we’re about to lose our TV deal, the DSP-Tier Luck kicks in”.

Probably the “best” of old “LulTNA” is either the Hogan-Bischoff years, or the Dixie regime that ended with them losing the Spike TV deal (not like Spike ever really DID anything for them, I think they ran the same ad for almost a decade, but that’s another topic entirely)

One of the biggest fumbles and the one that really precipitated the decline was the loss of AJ Styles because they didnt want to pay him

had to request a refund on 2k25 on steam, game stopped loading into the start menu as soon as I updated my graphics card driver, 2k are a bunch of fucktarded Jews and WWE shouldn't trust them with making wrestling games anymore

Assuming you've got a nvidia card, that's on you. There's shit all over the net about their drivers being complete and utter shit at the moment and to downgrade to specific versions depending on your card generation.

Edit: Driver version 566.36 for any non 5xxx series card.

AMD actually, idk what the problem was but I tried googling it and it was all complete nonsense from redditors and pajeets, I honestly think WWE should reconsider 2k, they treat PC Gamers like second class citizens

AMD broke it with 25.3.1 i had to roll back to 24.12.1 for my pirated copy to start working again.

ah ok, I thought it was something to do with the driver update I have a RX 6600 so that explains a lot, ill be going up to my cousins this weekend anyway so maybe ill get in a few games there, wish AMD was faster with this sort of stuff but they dont seem to be as big of a nightmare as Nvidia

 

[Billy Stinkwater]

AMD drivers have always been 2 steps forward 3 steps back that was the tradeoff for saving money. If something isn't working the first thing to try is running display driver uninstaller and rolling back drivers until you find one that works.

I have had to go back a year sometimes to find a driver that didn't shit the bed on games they never got around to fixing.

Number 2 wrestling promotion is not a failure

It is when there's only 2 major promotions.

this, I don't want WWE to be a monopoly but what else is there really, AEW makes a complete mockery of wrestling and is boring as shit to watch, you cant even say AEW is the Pepsi of Wrestling because AEW doesn't make money, Pepsi even as number 2 can at least make a profit on their soda, these fucking Vanilla Midgets Tony puts on just Can't draw.

>Josh Alexander joins AEW

The Hulkster single-handedly restored my power last night. I'm hopeful it lasts throughout the weekend.

People are just disappointed because AEW came in with huge momentum when WWE was absolutely unwatchable and Tony managed to fumble anyway. Same mistake TNA made with an over-emphasis on ex-WWE guys, as well as the Punk fiasco, letting retards book themselves, spending millions on proven anti-draws like Sasha, it goes on and on and on. Tony also managed to kill New Japan and the American indies at the same time. It's clear AEW is a mismanaged disaster.

Amazing that Vince pooing on some girl while writing BBC fanfics is what saved WWE.

agreed, as long as TKO continues to trust guys who understand wrestling with the booking like they are doing now ill be generally happy, I agree with most of what Triple H is doing and the few things that I disagree with tend to be minor or "I could see where they were going with this, but that could have gone better" type of deal, while I would love a viable competitor to WWE I just don't see much interests from anyone who has a enough funding to go against them, I mean WCW got big partially due to Vince being retarded the mid-90s and that was just as bad as the late 2010s,

 

[Blackstar]

The only thing that I'm unhappy with currently in WWE is that Gunter is most likely being booked to lose the title this weekend. He's a much better fit than Jey is for it so it's going to be a shame to see him lose it, but if he somehow wins then HHH I kneel.
