They are playing "Cult of Personality" over an Aaron Rodgers promo on MNF right now They are a perfect match tbh Would that make Brady something akin to Jericho? You know, obviously among the best ever, but you're tired of seeing them. |

Chris looked like some chubby old man who found him on the run way |

 If I can be serious for a minute... Is the unparalleled success of this thread and the heavy engagement in this story simply due to this being the most FUN wrestling backstage story in about 20 years? Yeah, if you're a fan of any of the wrestlers or personalities ensnared by the Ace Steel-like jaws of this drama, then you may be a little worried for their fates. If you're a hardcore fan of AEW then this is probably not what you wanted the story to be coming out of their big late summer show. But I think this ticks all the boxes for being the perfect blend of good-natured schadenfreude we've had in a LONG while. While we've had much larger stories in the past 20 years (hell, in the past MONTH), they usually have an element of sleaze, impropriety, or real-world politics that can't help but put a frown on our faces. Then there's always the "is it a work?" question, which can be a bucket of cold water poured on any good backstage disaster, but we basically worked out of our system by daybreak last Monday. So between the insanity of Punk's rant, the totemic props that have become shorthand comedic signatures, and the layers upon layers of fallout that resulted? I don't know if we'll ever see this perfect balance of innocuous intrigue and outright comedy ever again. Screenwriting classes and improv troupes will be studying this for years to come. There's definitely an element to it of "This is sillier so it's easier to joke about", but I think another is that even disagreement is really f***ing low stakes here? Aside from being easy to make fun of, "CM Punk is the face of the future" or "IF YOU BACK A DOG INTO A CORNER" as prevailing dissenting takes in this thread are even on a bad day really, really mild. Nobody is in here trying to litigate the acceptability of a situation through the lens of what the age of consent is, nobody is trying to excuse somebody's racism. Having survived the old Jim Cornette threads where it would be this circular logic moving target of racism apologetics from some people, or having gotten into deep arguments about the morality of the Saudi Arabia shows with people who haven't done anything wrong but with whom I share a simply incompatible view of the world, I've been in a lot of threads where the appropriateness of levity isn't the only real concern. 0It's just not a situation that supports it enough. None of what's happening is that important or that divisive. We needed a big target that wasn't heavy, but also one that wasn't going to really devolve into arguments about things people care a whole lot about. People can have a strong feeling about this situation and it still not be like, some kind of fundamental personal moral piece of themselves that they feel they have to continue to stand up for. I've been in big threads where a bunch of people have gotten banned. I've been in smaller threads where, inexplicably, someone managed to get banned anyway. We needed a thread this simple for pure catharsis alone. |

Expected, but still sad. Watching BTE was a fun way to start the week and a good serotonin boost. |

Was being the Elite actually any good Quality was up and down over the years. I think the peak was when Brodie was on it. He and the DO made it watchable again |

Was being the Elite actually any good Yes. Even when stuff like the Bucks buying sneakers is dull, the show consistently has a bunch of great comedy, and gives more of the roster a chance to get over and connect beyond the limited TV time they get, from the Wingmen to the Dark Order. I reckon without it, we probably wouldn't have people like John Silver still in the company. |

Was being the Elite actually any good Spoken like someone who never watched a single Ryan Nemeth segment from the show Watch every single Ryan Nemeth segment from this show btw, especially when he interviews his animals about wrestling topics. |

Was being the Elite actually any good Quality has always come in waves but it’s a huge reason for the elite’s following and what helped lead to the creation of aew. Gif unrelated -  |
