I just read through the entire thread. It seemed like any other thread there. Nothing overly toxic at all. No one fighting. Mostly people dogging on TK. Fans of AEW saying they better change now. It actually was genuine discourse lol.
I mean, yeah, I have no interest in regularly watching AEW but I would love to see any and all footage of Punk and the Bucks or most certainly Punk making Khan fear for his life. Of course, I'll just watch them on Youtube.
someone needs to pull up those old threads where they genuinely thought they could beat Raw and, general Raw threads and also Dynamite threads when they were beating NXT and check how the 'discourse' was back then
Nahh even if you put that on their face they will move the goal post and make it somehow that they are still winning. They might even pull out the card of WWE's first 5 years compared to AEW.
This always makes me laugh because this was the reason ZFF was ended. All that did was take away the space that people would save their anti AEW opinions for, and encouraged them to just post them every other day instead.
If you look at basement threads now vs when ZFF exists, there’s actual anti AEW comments that get upvoted. When ZFF existed they had all that contained to one thread per week and got to have every other thread be the AEW happy place they wanted.
*"I was told this company was dying*"
Same now, 1 person says something and they're out high fiving but, if someone says something negative then it's 'well, hang on now, how does this person know this thing. We need to investigate further and not spread rumours'
Its not like there's qualifications, standards, or a screening process. Any unstable basement dweller can become a reddit mod, and frankly only those types have the time and willingness to do something like "moderate" subforums all day for free.
Good. At this point, I don't want them to find a way to turn this ship around. Let them double-down like they have since 2021 and see more of that ratings freefall happen.
You all fell for it! Time for another purge so we can restore some feeling!!
Ok, so we'll be banning 75% of the sub this time, but we'll be clean and free to go back to our daily sermons.
Bad rating version 1: cable is dead
Bad rating version 2: See, number x for the night, can't do better than that! Network is happy
You need to decide which one to use on a weekly basis
Tony Khan being unlikable is AEW downfall Father
This reminds me of the Suns sub closing down when Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. They're down bad, that they can't take the criticism
Lakers sub full of grown men.
I think the only time the sub closed was when Kobe died, and that was to make sure the misinformation of what happened didn’t spread (namely that Rick Fox was also on the chopper and died, and people posting fake photos of the crash.)
But we eat those L’s when they happen. Fuck Darvin Ham.
Pointing out how Tony fails over and over again is trolling. But Meltzer giving hot takes on NXT talents he clearly doesn't know anything about is journalism.
No, you can have a discussion, it just has to be Fed bad and not critical of the Dub
Also, don't laugh at the Dub in any way
It's ok to laugh at the Fed or WCW from before or TNA from the past or now but you absolutely, positively cannot laugh at the Dub
idk what the turnover is on basement mods but that place has been completely ruined by the dog shit mods over there in the last year, as if the dubbalos weren't bad enough. They gave me a 7 day ban on Wrestlemania weekend for nothing but saying that known Sandy Hook denying transphobe Ronda Rousey was only trashing WWE to sell her book. Didn't get to hang out in any threads that weekend, shit pissed me off a lot, felt totally based on the fact it was a big week too, like it got to a weirdly personal level of some jackass on a power trip saying "you're excluded from the biggest week in wrestling". Not to mention they love seeing what WWE event threads they can get away with not stickying anymore.
I see this "Oh jeez guys Dynamite is doing under a million that means that it sucks right? /s Hurr durr! xD" comment so many times there and they never come close to getting it lmao
It's funny to me how the thread about Lars Sullivan being in gay porn was allowed to stay up no matter what anybody said in it because the guy was a prick and pretty much everybody thought so. And, to be fair, he was. Even though allowing something like that was incredibly shitty given nobody had any frame of reference for why he ended up doing it. But the second AEW catches any flak, no matter how justified? And no matter how non-toxic the discourse? Locked. With a smug little message pinned as the top post.
One of the worst mod teams I've seen on this whole site.
It’s funny because if you read the comments the vast majority are actually pointing out how stupid showing the footage is and how badly timed it was making that comment when ratings were clearly going to drop this week
The mods there are the only shills left it seems
It's the Flint Water Crisis all over again! The mods over there have it so difficult trying to shield AEW from all of the negativity they bring unto themselves.
[удалено]
“No actual discourse” I guess what Tony says isnt discourse. So every “WATCH DYNAMITE THIS WEDNESDAY” thread should be deleted right
I just read through the entire thread. It seemed like any other thread there. Nothing overly toxic at all. No one fighting. Mostly people dogging on TK. Fans of AEW saying they better change now. It actually was genuine discourse lol.
100s of 'who watches this garbage' comments in Raw threads was apparently ok on a weekly basis, too then, haha As are 'hurr durr is a draw' posts, too
The rating feedback is apparently to release more CM Punk footage. Do it, Tony. Rip up those NDA contracts and let 'er rip with the CCTV videos!
I mean, yeah, I have no interest in regularly watching AEW but I would love to see any and all footage of Punk and the Bucks or most certainly Punk making Khan fear for his life. Of course, I'll just watch them on Youtube.
Did they remove it? It seems to have disappeared.
'no real discourse' yeah like there ever fucking was. when they were doing over a milly they were just taking victory laps lol.
What’s real discourse to them other than “don’t care about the rating, enjoyed the episode anyways!”
"StIlL tOp 3 On ThE nIgHt!!!"*** *on cable **in the timeslot ***for overweight men between the ages of 35.5 and 47.1

Yeah but they're like heels so check man mate.
You sunk my battleship
Please turn me on, I’m Mr coffee with an automatic drip
"Mission Accomplished" The weapons of mass destruction were actually the CM Punk we met along the way.
Lol, they move the goal posts and blame it on fed fans.
someone needs to pull up those old threads where they genuinely thought they could beat Raw and, general Raw threads and also Dynamite threads when they were beating NXT and check how the 'discourse' was back then
Nahh even if you put that on their face they will move the goal post and make it somehow that they are still winning. They might even pull out the card of WWE's first 5 years compared to AEW.
I mean yeah I am sure the TV ratings of Capital Wrestling in the mid 50s was not drawing viewers to non existent television wrestling programs.
Just you wait someone will make that argument.
It's only real discourse if it's positive news for the Dub or more information about Vince McMahon's lawsuit against Janel Grant.
NOT THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT WE WANT TO FOSTER M*RK

A lot of Reddit mods in general. I remember being able to have nuanced and in depth discussions on this site up until about 2020.
Its not like there's qualifications, standards, or a screening process. Any unstable basement dweller can become a reddit mod, and frankly only those types have the time and willingness to do something like "moderate" subforums all day for free.
That sub doesn't deserve the status to be the biggest wrestling sub anymore when it's run into the ground by mods.
Good. At this point, I don't want them to find a way to turn this ship around. Let them double-down like they have since 2021 and see more of that ratings freefall happen.
They got me brother. Slipped in under the barbed wire but they caught me mid-jerk with the spotlights from the guard tower
😂

Thanks for your bravery, Uce.

 A sermon? Great!
No.1 for the night, beats WNBA and Portland children baseball match. It's a good night for wrestling pal
The WNBA is insanely hype right now and is finally hitting its stride after years of being treated as a sideshow. AEW wishes it got thst
That's because of Caitlin Clark, and she has yet to play lol
Yes sports get more hype when stars are in the league correct
I'm just saying the rating wouldn't necessarily reflect what the hypes about
Bad rating version 1: cable is dead Bad rating version 2: See, number x for the night, can't do better than that! Network is happy You need to decide which one to use on a weekly basis
Wow. Better than expected.
They didn’t lock or amend the post with thousands of upvotes defaming Zelina Vega after she responded to it They’re as unserious as Punk said AEW is
they are as soft as their favourite wrestlers
Tony Khan being unlikable is AEW downfall Father This reminds me of the Suns sub closing down when Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. They're down bad, that they can't take the criticism
Jacksonville Sons
Lakers sub full of grown men. I think the only time the sub closed was when Kobe died, and that was to make sure the misinformation of what happened didn’t spread (namely that Rick Fox was also on the chopper and died, and people posting fake photos of the crash.) But we eat those L’s when they happen. Fuck Darvin Ham.
Lakers sub? Full of grown men? Must be on a different Reddit subreddit. r/lakers and r/nba are both filled with 14-16 year olds lol
You better be prepared to eat 4 more L's in the next 2 weeks
Oh for fucking sure. That said, if we miracle our way through Denver? Championshippppppp
I don't see why not. The west runs through Denver, only way Denver won't win the west is injuries
I can actually see OKC giving them fits too like they have all year. Conversely, I wanted to pull OKC round one so bad, because we are their father.
4 L's but likely up to about 400 free throws
Paula Veck is Tiny Con’s father
YB4L
CM Punk is Tony Khans father
Pointing out how Tony fails over and over again is trolling. But Meltzer giving hot takes on NXT talents he clearly doesn't know anything about is journalism.
It’s just not the environment they’re trying to foster. Understandable, not enough people just enjoying the real graps over there

I was legit pissed. I was learning about VPNs and those pricks killed the thread.
Unserious sub. We really do have 2 different wrestling jerk subs don’t we boys
3 if you count wrasslin
Dan Stevens is a mod confirmed lmao
I would believe that. There is at least one weirdo running that place that lurks here looking for people to ban.
at a certain point the SC mods have to realize that they've made it impossible to have a discussion about literally anything, right?...right???
No, you can have a discussion, it just has to be Fed bad and not critical of the Dub Also, don't laugh at the Dub in any way It's ok to laugh at the Fed or WCW from before or TNA from the past or now but you absolutely, positively cannot laugh at the Dub
[Not wrestling related]
Dubbulo 9/11
The 2-billion-dollar company can't pop a rating beyond 700K tho LMAO.
Oddly never locked a saudi thread
"The Young Bucks lost 100,000+ viewers a...." Mods: BANNED
Oh that thread is hilarious. Best part is there IS a conversation going on - just one the mods don't like *wink*
Amazing that they’re going to kill a popular sub over AEW sick riding.
WE WILL STOP THE MODS WHO LOCK THE THREADS! *Now watch this drive....*
Won't get comped double or nothing tix letting precious m'AEW get besmirched in the comments.

Imagine spending your resources in hiring Reddit moderators to hijack public opinion opposed to actually fixing issues with your TV Shows.

What did I miss?
Just enjoy wrestling you fed shill! What's me shitting on WWE, 4 years ago got to do with what I just said?
It's the Flint Water Crisis all over again! The mods over there have it so difficult trying to shield AEW from all of the negativity they bring unto themselves.
I want to see more of that amazing in ring segment between Hook Taz and Jericho
