WWE has always had stars return after the main events of PPVs. Dave is being disingenuous because he wants to manifest the failure of WWE into reality. Unfortunately, they're still playing to packed houses while AEW is doing residencies in Mexican restaurants.

LMAO. Dave is absolutely shitting himself about WWE's white hot success while AEW slides into oblivion. And it's hilarious for him to say this about WWE when AEW, the company he shills for, has no long term storytelling to speak of.

Everybody who witnessed Cena's heel turn is going to remember it for the rest of their lives. Nobody remembers what happened in AEW last week. There are levels to this.

>>18510831
Tony thinks long term storytelling is "these people briefly have a forgettable feud, then it gets dropped for months, then they have another brief forgettable feud, then it gets dropped again" or "oh my god! this guy did a pose that's a visual callback to something!".

Dave is right. How many of these moments are going to be remembered and looked back on fondly like Austin and Tyson for example. In ten years do you think people are going to remember Cena's heel turn? It led to nothing but garbage as was dropped in less than 4 momths. Do you think Jelly Roll or Bad Bunny are going to be relevant in 5-10 years?
>REMEMBER WHEN JELLY ROLL WRESTLED AT SUMMERSLAM?
Bruh who tf is Jelly Roll?
>HE'S THIS FAT DUDE WHO HAD A FEW FAIRLY POPULAR SONGS IN 2020!
OK? And he wrestled at Summerslam?
>Yeah!
Was it good?
>Yeah dude it was totally epic awesome sauce! It totally brought eyes to the product and in no way was it embarrassing to see a 6'5 monster veteran of 20 years sell for a guy with zero athletic ability who is made up of cheeseburgers!

So CM Punk and Seth Rollins working this angle seemingly before Punk ever returned to WWE is bad for WWE? Pivoting away from the Cena heel turn by moving towards Brock, finally ending their years long engagement... It's a bad thing??

celebrities are a part of American wrestling and always have been. Dave’s autism and enmity against it is irrelevant just as he himself is irrelevant. He doesn’t even know what he wants. He’s obsessed with wrestling being oresent as real and his favorite fed is AEW which is the same brand of sports entertainment.

Tony fumbled the biggest babyface in the industry to his competition. Then he fumbled his biggest draw to his competition. A weak 6 month heel run that was bookended by the biggest turn since Hogan and a 5 star match doesn’t even compare
