Remember when AEW had that match where the stipulation was one of the competetors must lose an eye? Good times.
The WWE plays this game all the time, 'We're family friendly, until we think we can make money by not being, then we're not, but boy those other guys sure are bad for doing the thing we do!' If Vince thought he could make a few dollars extra he would rehire Nia Jax to throw Nattie into a dumpster full of light tubes in a heartbeat.

I mean....The bunny's blood was nothing compared to Cena's during Edge first cash in.....and that was well past the attitude era. Remember when AEW had that match where the stipulation was one of the competetors must lose an eye? Good times.

This dude's over here talking about Gory Self Mutilation, meanwhile not even a year ago they had an entire storyline centered around dudes trying to LITERALLY rip each others eyes out, lol That women's tag did everything I needed to do, it got the wrestling world talking and took up rent space in Vince's head. Once again I lol at the people who tried to say Vince doesn't even pay attention to AEW at all, don't know who you were trying to kid lol. Vince doesn't because they don't threaten him, he has people that pay attention and tell him what is going on though. He knows just enough to swing when needed but other than Jericho and Danielson I doubt he knows anyone there. Now if AEW was competing with Raw or Smackdown he'd know all there is to know.

I still feels like he cares more than is let on, and when I see stuff like this I can't help but wonder just how much it irks him he isn't the only game in town anymore The more people get cut and the more NXT changes to me feels like the ultimate indictment of how much he cared

JR had an interview last year (2021) saying that Vince only watches WWE, doesn't watch any other wrestling and if you ask Arn or Bruce Prichard they'd say the same about him. He just has goons and cronies watch anything else for him. That's why WWE wants Wardlow and MJF, because his people love guys like that and the know Vince would like em too because he likes Miz and Batita.
It's no different than an older rapper asking his people what the "young kids are doing" so he can take that knowledge and do whatever rather than the older rapper knowing it himself because he pays attention. The older rapper ain't gonna do the research, he's got nieces and nephews to tell him what's needed.

Same with Lesnar purposely busting Orton open hardway at Summerslam 2016. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of examples of Vince being a hypocrite of the highest order. He gets away with it because the average journalist doesn't know this stuff and can't challenge the WWE on it.

Both took to pro wrestling like a fish to water while WWE was screwing around with them. Vince has to quit looking down on companies that see opportunity where he doesn't.

I will say tho I rly hope AEW doesn't try to run with Gory Self Mutilation as like a shirt tagline or something, cause I think that could end up having very real and very silly longterm ramifications for them. I think they're much more self aware than that. AEW is starting from the premise of "we want to have a good match that's also really violent" rather than "we want to have a violent match, and if it's good that's cool". Indie horror filmmakers should really start from the same playbook.

Quotes like this are a prime example of why WWE are no longer relevant. Relevant probably isn’t the right word when the implication is that a promotion that still has a smaller overall audience would somehow be MORE relevant. Ignorant, out of touch, bad faith… All those work. I meant on a broader level, not just in the AEW vs. WWE spectrum.

I think they can run with the meaning behind it but that exact quote is a horrible thing to promote, definitely. AEW can leverage this into showing themselves as truly being an alternative to WWE and giving their women equal standing with the men* without using that exact phrase. *Before anyone jumps on me, I know that in many more important ways (like TV time) AEW absolutely does not give the women equal standing, but when it comes to letting angles escalate to blood feuds and the women cut loose, they do. Yeah I think they're good as long as they do literally anything but use that exact quote. It's not worth the headaches at all.

“Next week on Dynamite, one woman will be unmasked and killed right in the middle of the ring!! “
Vince: “Ooh I hope they kill that Bunny. Thinks she’s so big.”

This is stupid petty bullshit...also nothing is funnier than literally saying..."remember when we had 8 times the fans and we were popular? They're like that"

I'll give it this, that description does make me mildly curious to see that tag match when before I was perfectly comfortable forgetting it existed.
