General AEW Thread

I have learned if people watched old AJPW they would be fucking freaking out about everything about it.

Also, the Tiger Driver '91 is like the Kawada Driver, Victory Star Drop, and Burning Hammer a move done once in ever five or so years because the people know how fucking dangerous the shit is.

Tbh I don't think he even needed to address the criticism. People are gonna tell him how to wrestle anyway, I don't think he needs to defend any dangerous move or silly spot he wants to do, just keep being Kenny lol there's also better comparisons than Mike Tyson in the full article bc people very much told Tyson he was doing it wrong too, just like they do with most sports athletes that are entirely more athletic and successful than the detractors. ESPN old heads were constantly telling black quarterbacks to just stand and throw for years for instance

But he also referenced cirque de soleil which I think is a much better comparison bc it's a performance with inherent danger if something does go wrong much like wrestling and people really don't have shit to say when they watch it, they just enjoy...unlike wrestling fans

 

[Comrade Khan]

I mean not to sound obtuse, but he was asked and answered the question

Remember though no one has died from a Tiger Driver '91 but has a 619, just saying man

The bitter Bret Hart effect

Misawa died from a belly to belly, we don't ban those

 

[Alexa]

Misawa died from a belly to belly, we don't ban those

Belly-to-Back, but yeah. Point stands regardless.

 

[Deezy]

LOL everyone who took head first bumps are all kinds of fucked up or dead.

Imagine taking offense for people thinking about the health and safety of rasslers.

 

[Hoss]

Invoking Tyson and Misawa in this case is pretty questionable Nonetheless, let him cook

[Chris]
