I remember that. Someone then made the point that it means AEW isn’t profitable in their first year so Tony said it came out of his own pocket so doesn’t count towards AEW expenses (somehow)
Well...that's not a good sign, if they've spent as much as they reportedly have and it's getting that type of talk.
Cole deserves credit for sure. I think one thing he had against him was replacing JR as the voice of WWE. JR was iconic for WWE, and Cole seemed too fake in comparison.
I think I agree but i'm not completely sold that it's due to his announcing style. To me, it's the nicknames and the terms he's forced to use. "The Demon King electrifying the WWE universe. Oh my!" sounds....fake, for the lack of a better word. You can't immerse yourself in what you're watching because it feels like a goofy, scripted show with actors, rather than badass wrestlers facing off for a fight.
Based on what? Nobody has played it yet have they?
Prop not pro
The reports of how bad behind the scenes are and every update since?
Even worse!Prop not pro
Its his opinion of a prediction. Based on nothing
For sure. No chance it'll sell as well even if its better (which is unlikely overall. Probably in certain areas and in others nowhere near as good) due to far less exposure.
It's just the standard fare from him, anything AEW does is bad, will turn out horribly etc, and then if its successful then he never mentions it again.
In fairness the WWE 2k games don't have the best reputation at the moment, over recent years they'd gotten progressively lazier until 2k20 was so awful that 2k21 was cancelled.
They didnt when AEW started production but obviously it takes a long time. 2k22 has a good rep
Yeah it's definitely better reviewed, but it takes more than one improved game to balance out years of rubbish.
I’d like to be tagged when being talked about thanks
What about the fanbase calling Vince the devil for adding time wrestlers missed due to injury (Brodie Lee prime example) only for radio silence when it was revealed Tony does the exact same thing with AEW wrestlers last week?
Yet another false equivalence, it's so tedious. Brodie Lee asked for his release, when he wasn't being used, but was refused out of pettiness. The uproar wasn't about the standard practise of adding injury time to contracts, just the petty refusal to release wrestlers that aren't being used.
I dont tag people I have on ignore. Whatculture is a pretty good reindication of why you're there

WWE probably don't want the name "Killer" to keep advertisers sweet. Plus they own the trademark.
True, they wouldn't want to make the advertisers kross
I'm not sure dig is the word, but they obviously have a different idea in how to do things and while Vince let Kross come to the main roster with his "action figure" idea of presentation, we're clearly seeing Triple H saying he believes you can throw him right in as a main eventer with Roman with closer to his NXT presentation.

Great for fans who enjoy both and don't have that weird mentality of choosing a side
Why does other talent coming back suck for 2.0? They're still going to move up in time?
I don't really see what the point is here. 2.0 signalled a change from the previous model of signing experienced Indy stars to returning to a more traditional WWE developmental approach of training up gifted athletes from scratch. Most 2.0 fans acknowledge that the talent is super green but we appreciate the more character heavy, faster pace TV style of 2.0 rather than 1.0. It's a style and creative preference rather than a personnel one. And frankly, Raw and SD is kinda turning into NXT TV from the Triple H era - solid booking, good feud building with decent matches but not exactly a thrill a minute. Overall it's a big improvement on Vince McMahon led WWE TV from recent years but it's not exactly riveting.
