AEW Rampage August 12th, 2022: QUAKE BY THE LAKE!

[Canadian Dragon]

also I know a lot of ppl online thought the episode was meh, i really liked it lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

That's dumb why would you assume that at all instead of just simple coincidence? This is the dude that always (correctly) says one number is meaningless a lot, maybe that rating was exceptionally high tho, coulda been the TV premiere or something

i dont want to be THAT guy, but he's been really fucking negative towards AEW as of late. dunno whjats his deal

 

[Chris]

It was fine, a typical episode I'd say but I thought it'd follow the recent trend of lower ratings myself

id have assumed so as well as far as ratings. I mostly liked it more than more, not due to in ring, but due to the fact they actually had an angle episode which was super story heavy. break ups the usual "this is more dark matches" formaty they sometimes run on fridays

 

[Canadian Dragon]

though perhaps its the old addage of it was up because the week prior was good type of thing, yknow?

idk about him but the new internet tribalism shit is so much funnier to me than the old ones. People just LEAPING to tear the other company down way more than usual where before it was more focused on defending whatever company they claimed to be a team member of lol

you know, thats kind of true. It's a LOT of over the top hyperbolic takes. "tony doesnt give a shit about women's wrestling" for example, is one take I've just given up debating rationally lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I'm sure there'

 

[Canadian Dragon]

a bunch for WWE too, its just the last month they've been shielded from any criticism valid or not due to the new car smell

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I forsee, in a bout 6 to 12 months, we will see all the EXACT same tropes ppl bitched about AEW but towards WWE. I'm surprised we havent gotten "are WWE signing too many ppl" and "all these debuts every week will weaken further surprises" posts

to give an example from both sides I saw last week, I saw people accused the Punk return of being rushed bc they're scared of WWE returning Kross and Lumis...and then that WWE only brought back Hit Row on Friday to counter Punk can we just watch wrestling please

if ppl think Hit Row returning is counter programming lmao

 

[Canadian Dragon]

and vice versa, good lord those are bad takes

 

[Chris]

if ppl think Hit Row returning is counter programming lmao

Yeah they were literally comparing it straight up and talking about how much better Punk returning was....like bro an injury return is not the same at all lmao not comparable situations whatsoever
