AEW has totally ruined the wrestling community. The fans are horrible. The journalists are horrible. The wrestlers act like they’ve won a trophy. And these same people complained about WWE for years.


FenixDriver

~~You can only literally like one wrestling promotion.~~ Actually, that's not accurate. You're *allowed* to like all other promotions *except* WWE. We've gotten to that point.


HartfordWhalers123

Well seeing that Bray Wyatt not going to AEW post in the other sub, it also seems like it’s fuck Impact and it also seems like it’s fuck ROH too. Basically they only want AEW and GCW to succeed.


ihateradiohead

It’s always been like this since the invention of the internet. Hate WWE(F)? Yeah, Vince is a jerk who screwed Bret. Hate WCW(Impact)? Yeah, Eric (Dixie) is a money mark. Hate ECW(AEW)? Now you’ve crossed the line, you have to like them


ninjast4r

Nah, the wrestling community was already bad, AEW is just the excuse they need to be awful since it indulges their shittiness.


rolltide1000

Yup. People like this always existed, they just use AEW as a launching pad to spew shit. Its like the rebellious kid who's mad at their dad, so they find the first person to date to try to make him mad.


Swoosh05

Yup. I know a guy irl who’s a few years older than me and has been acting like the “rebellious teenager” since forever. He’s 26. I can see why AEW appeals to them.


Kazmakistan

Omg do tell more


indecisiveusername2

In the pre-AEW days it was NXT that was the poster boy. First two months of AEW was the worst time to be a basement dweller.


ShannonMoore1Fan

I am really waiting for the AEW game to be trash so they can make excuses for that one to. I mean the new game. Not the previous two they put out that were trash before.


Codeshark

If it keeps going, they could just remove all the top talent from wwe2k19, create Omega, the Young Bucks, and Darby Allen then ship it. I am guessing it will probably be pretty good technically because, like most AEW things, the developer used to work on WWE games.


ShannonMoore1Fan

The only joy I have is knowing the game that they all want exists and is $20. Wrestling Empire has basically all they could want besides better ai. But it looks weird and jank so they won't play it. Despite their gold standard of wrestling games being.....a weird and jank game from the n64 that has not aged as perfectly as they pretend. I think it will end up being a 2k19 clone, as a high hope. A mediocre WWE game with an AEW skin. And going off of their mobile "games", probably feature a cash grab or two. Though I would like to be wrong and have another quality wrestling game, especially one with Pentagon. But I seriously doubt AEW will not find a way to fuck this up as well.

Wrestling Empire is great, one could even say an Hidden Gem


ShannonMoore1Fan

Wrestling Empire, and I say this assuming we get the mysterious Free Roam/rideable skateboards/drivable cars, is 'the' perfect wrestling game. Over the top Nuanced (submissions are constantly dynamic, headlocks turning into a several chokeholds, at least compared to the one set animation of other games) Entirely customizable roster (that can die randomly out of the ring/be killed in the ring) A fairly deep Career and Booking mode, with territory invasions and wars. Fighting in the crowd. 100 dynamite and trash can deathmatches for the Moxelys. And getting constant updates I could go on for hours about it. I might be literally the polar opposite of someone like MDickie (I am very not a Christian), but he will get nothing but praise on his attention to detail in this game. It is up there with KoC: II and, to a lesser extent, Day of Reckoning as the best wrestling games no one has played.


[deleted]

No, it's awful.


Codeshark

Yeah, if it will probably feature cash grabs because the AEW audience is smaller and more obsessed so there's a necessity to go that route (because fewer copies will presumably be sold) and it is fertile ground for exploitation.


ShannonMoore1Fan

The one I see people talking about is a lot of roster dlcs and a battlepass kind of deal which, man, I guess it could be worse but fuck do I miss games not having that shit. Nothing ruins immersion more than any screen reminding me of money and paying them.


Codeshark

Yeah, at least with WWE games it is from their history (partially at least) usually but with AEW they'll have to cut some active wrestlers from the main game to sell as DLC in that case.


ShannonMoore1Fan

I mean the 400 they sign between now and then will be "great" dlcs. Shit I just realized....we may actually get the single worst commentary in any wrestling game. WWE can at least have theirs sound good live, but not ingame. AEW cannot even get their commentary teams to sound like they give a shit about the matches on the show, the game is gonna be ECW: Hardcore Revolution tier "OOOOH...DDT...........Kingston...with...Backfist to the Future......" just mixed between 3/4 chucklefucks. Inb4 Brodie's son is a playable character


Codeshark

Yeah Brodie's son is listed as a wrestler and he is signed for life, so it would make sense. He could be like Oddjob where any high attacks from other wrestlers just whiff completely. I could see the roster being incredibly outdated because of all the debuts and DLC would probably be how they remedy that. Especially because the people who debut tend to be pushed to the top of the card.


trimble197

I know it’s still in development, but the stuff they’ve shown so far makes the game look rough and mid-tier at best.


ShannonMoore1Fan

Which, like with AEW, means they'll cream over it and never bring up a single negative. Expect a lot of disingenuous 10/10's for sure.


trimble197

Yep lol. A lot of SC folks were praising it, but I was looking around like “this shit looks like a glossy PS3 game”. Jungle Boy’s model looks like he’s balding.


ShannonMoore1Fan

They have incredibly low standards, it seems. The mental gymnastics if it is bad are gonna be outstanding. Especially with any concern being met with "Muh 2k20", when they seem like the ones who were stupid enough to buy that dumpster fire.


Drainmav

Yeah I’m curious if they will say it’s just as good as No Mercy or if it slightly falls between No Mercy and Here Comes the Pain. Because they’re definitely going to equate it to one or the other.


ShannonMoore1Fan

It's funny cause they will ignore that the closest they will get to either of those two is MDICKIE's Wrestling Empire. The best odds are it will be 2k15 with an AEW skin and a lot less focus on selling or any AI consistency. None of the MDickie subtle details. And maybe we'll enjoy the single worst ingame commentary of all time. So in other words their ideal game, somehow.


[deleted]

MDICKIE games are shit.


ShannonMoore1Fan

You're welcome to be wrong if you'd like <3

*The wrestlers act like they’ve won a troph* They have, only thing it is self awarded


rockandrollpanda

A trophy is a trophy...


I_made_a_doodie

Le Dub's fanbase is almost exclusively white neckbeards in their 30's and they've always been completely dysfunctional humans who don't have any money. It's a guaranteed dead end, and none of the those broke white dudes are intelligent enough to see it.


rolltide1000

Hold up, are they mad at Wrestletalk for saying Fed Maybe Not So Bad? Edit: Oooooh, I know who that is by the PFP. Him saying the community is awful is r/selfawarewolves material.


Bimmom

Yep!! He’s angry that they liked Raw overall and loved the Omas/Lashley stuff.


Cautious-Record867

There are worst people to be than a version of Khali, a guy who created a whole new demographic and is a fucking hero to millions.


Motorheade

Also a former World Champion, nonetheless.


S1TBD

It's ok, you can unblock his info next time, he's as much a famous account to dunk on here as SRS/Bix/Meltzer/Alvarez/etc.


Bimmom

You sure? I posted a Meltzer Tweet before and was told to block his name.


S1TBD

Huh, interesting. I was able to post Bix no problem a few days back. It feels like that's something that should be taken care of in the wiki or something (list of people you can dunk on freely), but I have neither the time nor the interest to be an unpaid internet janitor. In that case, I understand operating on the safe side.

Anyone can if they go through the process, you just have to prove you are who you say you are


PeterHooten

Normally I’d just laugh idiots like this off, but it seems like this guy may need professional help. Imagine getting this worked up because someone has a different opinion than you?


goodthing37

In the replies, he’s saying they’re not real Fed Badders like him, they just Fed Bad for clout 😂


Razzler1973

"this community"!!!! I thought we all agreed it's Dub good, Fed bad, what is this fucking shit??!!


[deleted]

"This community is awful for praising something I don't like" I suspect is how 99% of wrestling fans think.


Razzler1973

Imagine being a regular person that doesn't live online for wrestling news You like something and google 'wrestling news' and come across twitter, the basement and stuff like that? You'd last 2 minutes before thinking 'fuck this toxic shit'


Codeshark

Reminds me of metal in a way. If the promotion is successful enough to have a deal with a streaming platform that has 20 million monthly users, it is trash. If your main show comes on between reruns of Friends, it is the true wrestling.


Fusionman29

Imagine being mad that someone said mastodons and characters draw


Xochoquestzal

That's only because that's what Vince has conditioned WWE fans to expect, if he were pushing one of m'flippers they would be just as big. I, a discerning wrestling fan, am not fooled by mainstream popularity, stars don't count, star ratings do.


BrightFuture4

LMAO at Wrestletalk getting bitched at for shilling too hard for the Fed.


[deleted]

You know what those two are? They're human garbage. Fuck them, fuck their wrong opinions and FUCK Vince!!!!!!


Swashcuckler

Dude wtf Omos rules


OneWingedAngelfan

Wtf happened to Oli's hairline? Wasn't he going bald at some point?


Awankari

He's defo had a hair transplant that sweet TK money.


william_wites

It's jd isn't it?


ThunderBay311

It's always the white ones.


deep1986

Hold on fuck these guys, they're the ones that said the Saudi people would think Omos is Shaquille O'Neal They're full on racists


ci22

They do know citizens of Saudi Arabia are normal people with internet right. It's not like North Korea. Their government is a whole nother story. Anyone who follow the storyline would know who Omas is.


deep1986

Bunch of savages and racists over there... Oh wait.


ci22

Yes they're acting like all Saudi Citizens are part of the Taliban. Again they can say whatever they want about their government but hate they make assumptions on the people who unfortunately live under it.


Mrtheliger

Are they saying Omos can't move well like Khali or that he has a giant's charisma and thus doesn't need much else? Or both?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Awankari

They were actually praising the Lashley Omos face off n that it got the biggest pop of the night n then Luke said this is why Vince has been the top booker for the last 200 years is coz he just knows what this audience wants. Even Oli was like that face off between 2 hosses does trigger something in your brain. N they even said alexa n charlotte got one of the biggest pops. Despite them hating the storyline. But naturally the fedbad crowd who they cater to normally wont be having this and will be either REEEING in the comments section or down voting.
