Ok folks. This thread has seen some heated and divisive chat that is taking discussion away from the week to week product. Going forward any WWE vs AEW related discussion should take place here. Examples of this are obviously the CM Punk, Ospreay and Triple H type stuff.

Hot Topic : Tribalism in Wrestling

Rightio folks. Going to trial this as a way for people to express their opinions on the more divisive topics in wrestling in a more controlled environment. The last few years has seen the rise of toxicity in the IWC reach fever pitch, and personally think this board has a great group of...

Wonder what he said.

Toni Storm showed up at the Stardom show, teasing a match with Mina Shirakawa (possibly for custody of Mariah May)

 

[RossFC]

Black and white promo even in Stardom. Toni Storm also said she remembers the time she was in Philly working for "Eastern Championship Wrestling" and the time she "Entered Sandman".

I like Punk, but that's pretty good haha.

He should use that, might beable to draw the viewers that left with Punk.

Has Sasha Banks always recieved this much hate? I have seen stuff like overrated before never this much.

She really should come in as a Heel she's a heel all over.

People suddenly realize how “overrated” wrestlers are when they don’t wrestle for the company that they like. See Jon Moxley.

Not quite that.

Swerve is unbelievable.
Bryan still highly rated.
Joe in career best form.
Toni Storm is better then she's ever been.

Moxley is a joke, he is someone who needs guidance.

My god is that an awful take.

He can't cut a promo and is dead set boring.

Right on! And Hogan never drew a dime, Flair doesn’t know how to work and Rock has no charisma.

From defeating Seth Rollins at Mania to wrestling The Butcher on Mania weekend in a couple of years poor Claudio.

They're like flies to a pile of excrement (which is fitting, as I'm sure that's what they think of the company, despite offering their 'genuine criticism'). Must be due to the weekend.

Hopefully a quick squash. Which is was Switchblade should’ve done to Billy Gunn. wtf were they thinking there?!

He's at a company where he's respected and he's doing what he's great at.

He's not being bounced from gimmick to gimmick and being jobbed out.

This is a horrendous take.

I think they felt the home invasion needed a response - but they completely misunderstood how much we gave a s**t about that.

Switchblade is awesome and they're doing a weird slow 50/50 push.

I mean, you could understand a competitive match, but to have the older guy get most of the offence doesn't make much sense.

I love Billy, and he has a place on the roster despite his age, but that wasn't the right call. If they want to go through the 'bad guy comeuppance' route - have a 2 on 1 match that was earned through a match prior.

He had a good program with MJF, but outside of that - haven't been a fan of how he's been used for most of his run.

With Swerve and Ospreay likely in the championship picture in the next 6 months - hopeful that Jay will be around top of the card again then.

time stood still in that match

Horrible take didn’t really get bounced around with gimmicks at all.

The guy is one of the best in the world and I’m saying he’s gone from beating one of the best in the ring in the world on the biggest weekend of the year to a really nothing match.

If this was against a talented youngster then no complaints but it really is against an old talent that’s doing nothing for either guys that’s all.

Yeah, because if Claudio was still with WWE, he’d be in the main event in place of Rock. No chance he’d just be a guy in Andre battle royal on Smackdown or anything.

It was just last week Claudio (with the BCC) wrestled in front of 16,000+ people for CMLL in Arena Mexico.
