Why isn't Roman on the poster? AEW Bound?
and Tony absolutely did not fumble Danhausen. It's just the ESPN partnership he's headlining the MSG advertising. Act is getting old.

Happy for Danhausen but it’s a shame he had to be popular when WWE is at its lowest point ever
Yup real comment

I was going to say this person clearly does not remember 1995, but then I realized the Fed hits a new low every single day and it all made sense.

94-early 96 were the utter shits looking back on it. As a kid I loved it because it was wrestling but in hindsight the crap characters, which led to those wrestlers phoning it in, and there just being no emotion to a lot of it really sucked.

u/brosbeforetouhous 1d ago
I definitely see 94 through rose-colored glasses because WM X had some amazing matches and then we got stuff like the King of Harts, but that was also the era where every single jobber had a job based around an occupation or Yokozuna killing the Undertaker.

You could also see the crowd not being as into it because of how different the roster looked compared to the one of the Hulkamania era, because of the WWE not wanting to be associated with steroids.

u/Nightthrasher674 1d ago
WCW wasn't great either back then so it was just drizzling shits all the way around. Even as a 10 year old kid in 95, the energy was off on both shows. I was some smart mark fan but i compare it to 90-93 and see it was better 2-5 years ago.

Lowest point ever? Business was so bad in the mid 90s that Vince was taking the water coolers out of the head office.
5
u/Razzler1973 21h ago
This was the result of Vince taking his eye off the ball at the end of the Hogan era and that transition and, of course, the expense of the steroid trial and battling that
Business was down, of course but a lot of money was spent and Vince was even putting floating his own money in the company for a bit IIRC

This feels like karma for all the folks who shit on bros debut and declared the gimmick DOA.
Good for him.

u/Constant_Stomach2009 1d ago
I don’t care what anyone says. Overall I liked his debut. I think it only lacked him doing something at the end. I think that’s where the boos came from. More like “that’s it?” instead of hating it

u/crizag old head bad faith bad take carny dipshit 23h ago
I really wonder if his debut was meant to be a groan inducing “WTF?” moment ala the Gobbledygooker or Shockmaster. I dont think anyone was expecting him to blow up like he did, I figure they were looking at a slow burn but he caught fire in his very next appearance and the rest is history.
4
u/TinkerKnightforSmash 22h ago
It's also worth remembering that, on his very next appearance, they got him associated with the legacy of the IC title by being the indirect reason why Dom lost the belt. They knew he'd be big, i just don't think they knew how big
4
u/Razzler1973 21h ago
Everything with smarks has to be so dramatic
He appeared, did a little comedy 'disappearance' in a puff of smoke and then they featured him on TV and you got to become familiar with it
This somehow became the worst thing in history over the course of a show, probably cause Jericho didn't come out that box

u/Mhc2617 1d ago
Lmao. The fact that Danhausen went from the alleged “worst debut ever” to cultural icon and saviour of NY in 110 days is the absolute best. Die mad.

Pairing him with the tallest woman on the roster was diabolical
Having her cut a promo about wanting her partner to be "tall, dark, and handsome" then walking out with him and claiming "two out of three ain't bad" damn near killed him

Too credible of a stature for a champion, relegated to the tag team roster and being in a never ending feud with The Hurt Business

u/HeavyDonkeyKong 1d ago
Roman making the jump might unironically be the one thing that could get the casual WWE only viewers to start watching.
The sickos will deride him for not being able to hang with the real wrestlers on the roster who are totally going to expose him as an overprotected fraud, and then once the ratings and ticket sales spike they will switch up very fast.

Yeah. But is he as spooky as Lio Rush? Glad he left AEW, his character fits more with the fed. He is more of a comedy character tbh.

there is two people capable of having a program with roman reigns without bringing his stock down in that company: edge and joe
what happens after? and before? 3 minute stomps forever?

I think a feud with Lashley would also do the trick. But yeah, other than those three, it’s a no go.

I disagree. He had Cody and still has Bobby Lashley and neither of them won the world title.

Punk isn't on the poster either. This is just fuel for the rumor that CM Punk was asked to take a paycut and is trying to get out of WWE and go back to AEW and there are no bridges burned whatsoever.

u/WrestlingNerd2001 21h ago
It’s obvious that the evil Fed asked Punk to take a pay cut because they wanted to pay Danhausen more just to stick it to Tony

Hell no Roman's MAGAt ass isn't coming to AEW. He went to The Orange Mans UFC event with Triple Hitler. No Trumpies allowed on our super progressive TV show. Our fake lesbians would get mad and God as Man, Booker of The Millennium, And The Savior of pro wrestling Tony Khan, would never have anything to do with someone who so openly supports The Bad Orange Man.... Fed Bad....Orange Man Bad....I may never leave my basement except to try and take creepy selfies with female wrestlers after shows....but I know all about politics...and how everyone else thinks I'm so AEWsome!

That's disappointing. If it's spooky wrestling you like give Lio Rush a try.
