Joey Ryan paid 6 people to dress up as dicks in order to do psychological warfare to Hangman Page and to reignite Page's penis envy crippling his career due to Hangman's insecurities.

It was totally unrelated to Joey Ryan's return, ghost dicks just happened to show up and they rolled with it...

Joey not being able to become the CLIT Commander, due to Jay, became the second best, the COCK commander. The rest is history.

They and most of All In only cater to the Millennial wrestling fans and thats it. Even if that were true - which I'd argue it absolutely isn't - what's wrong with that?

That's just what happens at funerals, dude. I don't see what's so out of the ordinary here. Truth to power.

I'm 35 and was one of the youngest people in the party watching that show last night. Everyone absolutely loved it. I showed my 50 year old boss today and he was laughing his ass off. And every non fan I've shown that segment to has had a positive reaction. I understand not liking it personally, but your opinion doesn't speak for everyone.

Dick and Rod Johnson were training with Taker's sect but decided to form a splinter group.

Even if that statement is pretty misguided - and it seriously is - is there some rule or law I'm unaware of that says who they have to cater to? If they only wanted to cater to Norwegians over the age of 50, and were successful at doing so, what's the problem?

They wanted to see if Jim Cornette's head would actually explode Scanner's style.

You see we all know Joey has a powerful penis but we don't know what all that entails. Yes he has the power to flip people, to knock them out with a Thesz Press, and fire bullets that Superman cannot out run but last night was the debut for his little known Palmists of Penis. These beings were brought into existence one night as a fortune teller tried to read a Ouija board with Joey's penis. Despite warning the poor lady, she pressed on and as she put tip to board was torn apart by supernatural forces. Feeling a tinge of guilt, Joey dropped his dong on the board, causing it to tear apart. He placed the pieces of the board on to the pieces of the fortune teller and these beings are the result. They have sworn an allegiance to Joey and use their knowledge of the supernatural to assist him when they can.

I just think you can not cater to one section of the audience . It may work in the short term but in the long term maybe not so much. Look at ECW for example. Great promotion that was successful in the short term but in the long term not so much because they catered to one section of the Audience. If the All In people are Succesful that is great, but then again all I was saying is I personally do not like the Joey Ryans and the Young bucks because I feel they make a mockery out of wrestling. Which I can back up with examples.They also do appeal to a certain segment of the audience which I can also back up with examples. I do not have to like them but I am not going to insult the people who do like them and the fans of them. Because everyone is entitled to like who they like. I simply giving my opinion not to get in a war of words with anyone.

For the record, most of y'all know I'm about as old school as it gets, and I found the Ryan segment/match hilarious.

Whether you intended it or not, I don't know or want to pursue, but that's how it comes out to others reading your words.

It is just my opinion. I just think you can not cater to one section of the audience . I'm not a business graduate or even went into any long-term business class but that's literally how companies have made tonnes of money; by catering to a section of the audience. You're not going to aim clothes for various sizes or people playing video games on YouTube to the people who can buy off the rack or don't understand Let's Play-ers, for example. To go niche of a niche gets you more money than going "Hey, let's aim for EVERYONE" and losing all of it in one go. A very brief example of this is Pro Wrestling EVE, a women's promotion in the UK that's very underground and doesn't get the publicity from the wrestling press it deserves but it gets mainstream press by aiming for women and women interested in empowerment stories like GLOW and such. They got some pretty big slots on mainstream shows and mainstream music festivals and the media coverage they got from it was MASSIVE and should be talked about more. Outside of WWE and All In, they were getting the news on some big non-wrestling news websites. And they're still a small women's promotion in Central London but it's going to pay off more and more as more interest comes in and more name talent comes in. ECW died because Paul Heyman was a f***ing idiot with money and not playing ball with TV companies and sponsors. That's it. If neither of those things happened, I guarentee you ECW would have at the very least lasted longer than it did. There's no "ifs" about it, they were successful. They sold out a massive stadium through mostly YouTube videos and star power. That's unprecedented. Cool. Neither of those things have to do with you saying they shouldn't be catering to niche audiences because it doesn't make money when it's literally made them a lot of money.

I simply giving my opinion not to get in a war of words with anyone. Filling up an arena with 10,000 fans isn't really playing a tiny specific niche, but honestly All In was a huge variety of stuff in all directions. MJF vs. Mat Cross was some very straightforward heel vs. face story for an opener, they had the womens' four way to hit that whole niche, Nick vs. Cody was an interesting middle ground between modern stuff and the sort of NWA title match you'd have seen Dusty himself book, Page vs. Janela was some full-on hardcore stuff that in the post-matrch led to the dick druid things, you had athletic stuff with a bit of comedy in Flip vs. Lethal... They ran pretty much the gamut of all the major sorts of things you could see. All In was entirely a variety show featuring wrestling of all stripes and showed off a diversity of styles and approaches that made for something that hit all the major sorts of things you'd see in American wrestling with dashes of styles from other places too. You can dislike the guys, but that doesn't mean they appealed only to one specific market, even if that market is such a nebulous and undefinable.
