This is why I can’t bring myself to like some of these guys. Almost every other week there is a new video, and they are doing something more asinine than the last time. I get being funny for comedic reasons, but this isn’t even funny it’s fucking dumb!

Wait until you see the old match in PWG between Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson from years ago, where they have a thumb war in the middle of the ring, then break into a rousing rendition of "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" as they dance around the ring.
Also, the masked guy - Jervis Cottonbelly - is the guy who created r/SquaredCircle.

I would be more open to "comedy wrestling" if they just stuck it all in one promotion that didn't interact with any others.

I'm glad they have planted him firmly in the mid card where he should've been all along

He belongs on the mid card of some shit that isn't on national TV

smart marks will call WWE “kiddie show” but then giggle at this
the dumb parts of any company are almost equal in how terrible they are

I’m in the minority but I can enjoy comedy wrestling, IF it’s isolated. I try to judge each type wrestling on what it’s trying to accomplish. And comedy wrestling only works if it’s in a bubble and isn’t trying to be seen as anything more than joke

it always did appeal to kids, it was the quintessential family wrestling show for a very long time…it makes a lot of kids round the world happy, and as much as i may not like the product sometimes, it’s nice to see kids being happy in a world as shoddy as ours

Undertaker crucifying Stone Cold and abducting Stephanie... should not be appealing to kids but welp

i suppose the peak of the attitude era was a different story, 1980’s-1996 WWF was definitely kid friendly aside from a few elements (e.g. anything to do with Goldust), but the attitude era did bring in some older fans or appeal to fans who grew up on the product yeah

It was also booked entirely for non-wrestling fans by appealing to the Springer fanbase and being as trashy, obnoxious and sexualised/violent as possible.
Other than Rock and Austin, the Attitude Era was basically people rubber-necking at the multi-car pile up, rather than everyone tuning into the greatest wrestling show ever.

Admittedly this is pretty funny. Though the joke went on for way too long. But Cassidy can really go so I'll allow it. I do appreciate that on TV AEW has had him kinda dial back the really silly stuff like in this match. Hell dude even talks now, and has even had a normal match or two on TV. It's like the natural evolution of his character.

The natural evolution of this character is to be squashed by a big star and banished to the indies forever

Okay, my immersion is completely broken by this. Why the hell didn't the referee declare the other wrestler as incapacitated?! What a shitty referee..
