You act like they're one sided, I come here expressing my honest opinion, then get told I'm wrong a million times.
You do know that you can come here just to chat and shoot the breeze also, right? :lol I get told I’m wrong also sometimes, we all do, but arguing isn’t all we do. Sometimes we just chill in the chats and talk about random shit.

The title didn't even mean shit in ECW either. It was literally Taz using it as a tool to give the middle finger to the real ECW World Champion at the time because he wasn't getting a title shot. The minute he won the world title the FTW title died.

Bullshit!
Sorry you don't like facts mate. :draper2

In the storyline, he was frustrated by his inability to challenge for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship due to Champion Shane Douglas' injury and refusal to face him. Taz created and defended his own world title, billing himself as the "real" World Champion.

This is per "The Rise and Fall of ECW" written by Thom Loverro, Paul Heyman's word, and Taz's own admission.

Alright, I'm a supervisor, but I got no problem at this point calling you a fucking dumbass who really should go touch grass.

Wasn't this guy banned for this exact sort of contrarian trolling before?
A contrarian?! I was so legitimately pissed that I got up from my seat saying "stupid gatdamn bullshit!", stewed for 10 minutes, went to the bathroom, then returned to the show?

I think the thread can likely be closed at this point as I don't think anymore really needs to be said

A quick check of the post history shows he pulled the same stunt about Gunther/Priest and Trick dropping the NXT title. The same sort of you're-wrong-because-I'm-right troll.

:francis I’ll leave it closed, but I’d appreciate in the future, if I’m at least consulted if we close a thread in the AEW section. Thanks.
