ROFL Virgil, what a joke of a wrestler


I'm sorry you died and all, dude, but whenever I hear Virgil I think ROFL

It's unfortunate that modern fans have made roles like the one he had to be a despicable place to be, because even after he fell down the card to what we derisively refer to as "Jobber to the stars", he was on TV and PPVs a pretty damn steady amount. Need the newest monster heel to look like a killer? Virgil was always one of, if not the first guy that person faced and even though he'll never be considered overly talented, he was a steady hand and usually did his job well. His nWo role was fine and kinda necessary.

He became a punchline over the years, but I have to respect him for leaning into it.

I think it's more because he seemed to take himself super seriously after retiring.


That, and he was a pawn to first make fun of WCW ("Virgil" Runnels), then went to WCW to be a pawn to make fun of WWF ("Vincent" McMahon). And it wasn't that his character was a jobber, it was that they booked him in storyline to always be treated like a little bitch (Million Dollar Man, NWO)

LMAO Can't ever see Virgil without thinking of this promo package.

It's weird to me that grown men follow a "sport" where all the outcomes are predetermined. Interesting to say the least.

The autograph thing was pretty funny cmon!

You watch TV shows yea, you know that's fake right?

they aren't posing as "sports" and I don't watch sitcoms. Movies are fake, yes. It's called fiction. WWE or whatever they call themselves these days tries to be part of sports. It's not.
It doesn't surprise me that you like it though.

It's weird to me that people always say this.


It's a series TV show with athletic stunts. TV shows have predetermined outcomes. I don't get why grown men watch TV shows where the outcomes are predetermined. :shrug: It's entertainment just like anything else from Hollywood

If you think it is a sport that's on you.

Because apparently a tv show that involves athletic ability has to somehow be a sport.

LOL. Ok. All the kids in the crowd probably think it is. Whatever. Glad you enjoy it.

It's called WWE


World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT


The "wrestlers" haven't been called "wrestlers" in 25 years. They are referred to as "superstars". It's not sports.

I didn't say it was a sport. The organization clearly projects itself as such. You like socialism too, so like I said, I'm not surprised you like it. Seems like a waste of time to me (and most adult men)

Cool. You should go and try to get a few autographs

Don’t you like to get in fights at youth sports?

They don't even refer to it as a sport on the ****ing show.

No. Do you?

Yet you are in a thread talking about it, wouldn't that just make you a bitch?

Nope. I posted in here because I hate threads about stupid shit that keep coming back and wasting space on CP. You are the socialist, plagiarizing bitch. Not me.

LOL. That is exactly how I picture "wrassling" fans

Oddly that's how we picture you.

Take your shit back to the DC.

It's weird to me that grown men have nothing better to do than go into a thread about something they don't like, just so they can whine about how they don't like it to the people that do.

He won't be doing that moving forward.

Anyway **** Virgil he tried to discouraged Xavier Woods early his career.

Virgil isn't even a punchline because of his career on TV. It was his absolutely pathetic behavior towards people afterwards that garnered him notoriety. I didn't wish ill on him but he definitely earned the reputation he got.

LMAO Who the **** in WWEs merchandising department just discovered memes are a thing?

Darkside of the Ring Bash at the Beach is hilarious shit

So we're all in agreement that Rock and Roman are going to win night 1 and night 2 is going to be chaos....right?

Tony Khan somehow botched what might be his last chance at a legitimate breakout star. Debuts Will Ospreay full time by having him in a nonsensical match against Takeshita and then have him in your main event going competitive against the jobbiest job guy in Kyle Fletcher. 650k viewers. The match dropped 100k viewers. Khan absolutely sucks at promoting wrestling when he can't use being an alternative to WWE as a crutch.

Yeah, Roman can't go two nights in a row.

I just want McIntyre to help Cody in the most heel way possible so he can shit post and gloat about it on RAW.

Well since it's "anything goes"....you could have anyone who was ever screwed over by the Bloodline come out and help Cody.

A wrestling magazine in Japan is saying Okada has a 2 year 13.5 million dollar contract and Ospreay said AEW's offer was far better than WWE's.

I'm convinced at this point WWE doesn't negotiate for guys, they make a take it or leave it offer and that's that.

LMAO Holy shit, if that's accurate what a waste of money by Khan

Considering what he's worth and the increase in TV money they are about to get, that's pocket change.

It's his prerogative if he wants to blow his money like that, and it's great for the wrestlers in the immediate future. Just hope Khan doesn't get bored of all his toys anytime soon or there's going to be real trouble

I'm not going to remotely argue they have great angles all the time, but their PPV was top notch and I still prefer their style of product to WWE's.

At least on AEW PPVs you get some actual wrestling time. I don't get all the hate the company gets, they provide a legit alternative to WWE.

If folks don't like that style of wrestling, don't watch. I seldom watch WWE due to the lack of actual in ring action. I still tune in or watch it as I have it recorded but I dont so into every thread on a message board and bash it like I see many people do to AEW.

Tony Khan, needs to hire a booker, he needs to have someone there to stop him from doing stupid stuff for sure. I know they just hired a new writer so we will see if anything changes.

Nothing wrong with that. But by most available metrics (ratings, attendence, etc) you're in the minority. And are we so sure a lucrative TV rights deal is even in the cards? With Fox, Disney, and WBD consolidating all theirs sports packaging into one app in the near future why are we so sure WBD is coming to the table with a huge offer?

That's the problem, though. I DO like that style of wrestling, and that roster is chock full of incredibly talented people. At the moment, it's being outright wasted by Khan and his abysmal booking week to week.

That's fine, but why do people that like WWE feel the need to want it to die?

Like I don't care that WWE exists, like I watch wrestling for shit like Ospreay and Takeshita did on the PPV, I don't get that in WWE, that's fine.

I was so completely wrong when I thought people wanted a viable alternative to WWE, what a bunch of people wanted was WWE to be 2% better and Vince to go away.

I dunno if it's nostalgia, I dunno if it's stan culture, but this idea that people who are WWE fans want zero alternatives and will spend hours a day bitching and moaning and wanting AEW to literally not exist is incredibly ridiculous behavior.

I've tried watching AEW and just can't get into it. They've got guys who I like but none of their shit makes sense to me.

When have I ever said I want AEW to die? That's ****ing reeruned. I'm legitimately concerned it's headed down that path due to most metrics painting it as a stagnant promotion at best.

Not you, the complete and total discourse that exists in wrestling online communities.

Like this is where we sit there, Will Ospreay has 2 really good matches...and now he "doesn't know how to sell" it's just laughable bullshit.

Like to add the WWE product does absolutely nothing for me, that doesn't mean I'm going to get online and shit talk it for 4 hours though.

Ospreay is actually what's broken me with Khan and his dog shit nonsensical booking. Let's take one of the hottest new faces, throw him in with Callus and his group of stooges, put him and Takeshita together for no reason, then do ithe whole scenario AGAIN, except with a complete Jobber in Fletcher, and sit with your dick in your hands afterwards wondering why Ospreay lost 100k viewers. ****ing idiotic waste of talent.

AEW booking and storylines are bad. They should of jumped on D'Amore when he got fired from TNA.

I think it really comes down to they put Ospreay in that group and now they have to get him out of it because well dude is more over than I think they expected.

On top of that Fletcher is good, he's 25, I know people ****ing hate it but sometimes these guys do have to get matches.

It's so damn frustrating because these guys are being taken for granted. Omega is one of my favorites to watch and he's relegated to Trios duty when he's not bed bound with all the shit he's done to himself.

It's ****ing horrible. Tony can't long term book his way out of a wet paper bag.

Large reason why CM Punk getting fired was a much bigger deal than it was made out to be. He was carrying Collision with something that resembled a proper product.

LMAO Swerve Strickland breaking into Hangman's house and threatening his child and he's currently the biggest face in the entire promotion because Hangman is such an unlikable putz and his manager does a funny dance.

I get that people like Ospreay and that style....I just can't.

The epitome of the same 10 spots in every match, no selling, dangerous dumb shit that doesn't add anything of value outside of getting people to do dumb chants, etc.

I actually think he could be even better than how he's viewed now but he has his style and won't change...

Please tune in for an announcement. Again. For the 34th week in a row.

Has some real Dixie Carter vibes.

It's true. Ospreay is excellent at that style but it pretty much throws all logic out the window and is going to significantly shorten his career.

Maybe it's just me but wrestling has become 50% super kicks.

...and Destroyers which is now a transition move lol.

His style is what sets him apart, why would he want to change that?

Think a huge problem is Khan just can't put his foot down and dictate what needs to be done. He's content to leave these guys and gals to their own devices and that just isn't going to work. Cody Rhodes is a perfect example. He's currently the biggest star in the entire industry, hell, people outright rejected The Rock in favor of him, and Rhodes had all but eradicated his good will with the AEW fanbase with his laughably convoluted storylines and over the top bullshit. He was on the verge of outright go away heat when he left.

I mean...is it?

He works the same "super indy" style that so many guys work now just crisper and faster, I will say that.

Cody Rhodes to be really honest kinda didn't fit in AEW all that well. Dude did an angle to say he ended racism at one point.

Holy shit...I had forgot about that LOL.

I watched people throw a bitch fit he doesn't know how to sell because his PPV match had a fighting spirit spot, it's like you know WWE isn't the only style that exists right?

Give me Gunther or Regal style over Young Bucks style.

Heck, I enjoyed Lucha Underground a lot and it was less indyriffic than AEW.

Regardless, the point is he needed just a bit of fine tuning and he's the top face in the whole industry, and has been there for over a year and is currently hotter than ever even with the booking at Wrestlemania 39 that should've killed his momentum.

Most of these guys need a filter, desperately.

If not idiots standing outside waiting to catch flippity midget or 4x kicking out of a finisher???? On some random ass Dynamite.

The companies are completely different, like I said before WWE does nothing for me at all. But if other people like it, that's fine. Like I watched a show the other day, I just...don't get it.

This is kinda what I was talking about, there are a bunch of different ways to sell, or work matches etc etc.

The WWE way is not the only way and I think a ton of fans think that it is.

I don't know why you keep hyper fixating on comparing the two. Some AEW matches are completely nonsensical due to the extreme amount of those things. Has **** all to do with 'the WWE way'.

That's kind of the thing. AEW really shouldn't have just one style and you can do technical wrestling without working WWE style.

Collision had the right idea as a total contrast early on and it quickly fell apart.

AEW is a trash product. Doesn't matter how much money they throw around to sign guys.

8 star match!

You guys debating which version of wrestling is more or less real is hilarious. Keep it up.

More like: which breaks my suspension of disbelief the least.

I guess I'm a weird fan because I'm way more about crazy cool shit than this guy didn't sell his leg so he sucks.

Good Lord. Mone (Sasha Banks) in the main event draws 627k.

Hollywood Rock theme AND a Rock concert LMAO
