Article by Bill M. Walkowitz "You Fucks Need To Stop Whining"


You Fucks Need To Stop Whining

That's probably the best way to describe what I'm about to write, the title of this thing.. I've watched on Facebook and Twitter all the back and forth and back and forth and back and forth between NXT and AEW, which is better, how they're better, why they're better, etc etc etc.. Yet here's the thing that really stands out with me when it comes to a lot of current era marks.. They whine, cry, bitch and scream they want something different, but when they DO get something different, they go and complain about the different they get.
You fucks need to stop whining, period.
My God, you have more wrestling available on TV, YouTube, streaming services than you'll ever be able to watch in your lifetime, almost every week if you know where to look.

Now me, I don't hold an opinion on who's better, I just go on what appeals to me and I fully admit I'm not an NXY fan.. I don't slam them or say they're weaker than AEW, the way they present their talent which is in effect, the "WWE Way", has always been a turn off for me. Which is why I haven't watched anything WWE on a regular basis in over nine years and counting, and just glancing at part of last night's NXT show on USA reminded me why that is.

The whole "WWE way" of how they present their product, talent, etc.. just doesn't flow with me.. Presentation , especially when I've seen a lot of their talent elsewhere before, they got the "WWE Polish" so to speak, is what makes me different than a lot of other people. The whole 'WWE spin" of things doesn't jive with me and I know many who'll disagree but that's fine.. Go ahead.. I at least seen some of the behind the scenes "WWE spin and polish" by working for an indy group in the 90's that had the WWE'S training dojo on their shows. So I saw first hand alot more than a lot of fans, marks, critics have seen. So my opinion is based on what I like, look for and have seen.

One thing I noticed is that people who have been disenfranchised with WWE clamor and state they want something different. well, they got something different in AEW. Hell there's something different for them in Impact Wrestling, ROH, Indy groups all over the fucking world, do the footwork and find them if you REALLY want something different.

If you're like me, and most aren't, in that Impact's way of presenting their product and talent (along with Don Callis's claims he was gonna rid Impact of the silliness that's plagued them but has in fact added his own silliness since he writes and books that silliness now) doesn't give me what I'm looking for and seeing old ECW veterans there it seems like there's 'something missing' (Oh yeah, that would be Paul Heyman and how he helped make ECW over this Impact in a way trying to emulate ECW in a way and coming up short?) Along with the fact most of what made Impact worth watching talent wise, is now gone thanks to Anthem Sports just letting them walk on out without even trying to keep them,.. leaves me with what.. Other than Tessa Blanchard? Not much to like here.. ROH isn't much better since they're so high spot heavy in many ways, the level of 'selling' in a lot of their matches is horribly bad and yes, I'm a stickler for 'selling'. if you no sell a lot, i hit fast forward or go watch something else.. No selling is an insult to the fan's intelligence and if you weren't trained correctly in HOW to sell, then you should go learn how to sell. Selling, makes a fucking difference, hate to be the bearer of bad news to you, but it makes a lot of difference.

So now we have AEW, the 'thing' that people wanted to see, that 'something different' that they whined and cried and bitched so much about.. It's here.. But now that it's here, what do i see? The same bitching about this as they did on WWE.

"They should've done this", "they could've done that", "they should've booked it this way" booking wise.. "Why didn't so and so win", I mean seriously, you wanted something different, you got it and now you're gonna complain about the different that you got? Maybe you fucks should just stop watching if nothing makes you happy. Or.. iIf you think you can do it better, as I tell every person who thinks they're the armchair expert.. "You think you can do it better, create your own promotion and do it better then". 99% of the time when i say that? I get, silence, or excuses.. Mostly silence.. because the excuses just show that they know they got called out on their BS rant and are now back stepping..

Now I watched and wrote a review on AEW'S debut.. https://billsbrandnewblog.blogspot.com/2019/10/review-of-aews-debut-show-dynamite-on.html


While there was stuff that rubbed me wrong, there was enough for me to want to check em out next week.. To see the one big answer to my question, Where, do they go from here?

The only gripe from all the bitching complaining and whatnot I can agree on, is the commercials.. The picture in picture thing for commercials and having to endure six to seven of those commercials was indeed nauseating.. BUT as I said to more than one person, maybe that was a TNT call and not an AEW.. I've seen some blame AEW for that but it's not AEW'S TV Network, so how can you blame them? TNT is the one airing the show and (I assume) getting paid by AEW to have the show air on their network.. So in the end it's TNT that makes the call on how the pacing and placing of commercials will be.

Pin the blame where it belongs, not on AEW but on the network that has allowed AEW to be aired on that network..

Also, another note.. While those picture in picture commercials and other commercial breaks are irritating to you and in some ways, me.. I can assure you than ANY owner of ANY Indy company anywhere in this country would be happy as hell, to have them commercial breaks if they could get the air time and exposure that AEW has with TNT.. Another thought that many have been lost on as well.

It's only their debut week on TV and people have bombed AEW with bitching and whining.. Well let's see YOU do better then, do so or shut up.. That simple.. You wanted something different, you got it but yet you still bitching.. Some fans/marks are really unbelievable, seriously..

In the end you don't HAVE TO choose between either or, watch both if you're a fan of both, watch whichever one you like more or, there's option C which I go for every time and that's.. WATCH SOMETHING ELSE!
For the idiot and ass clown that's gonna say "A duh, there isn't anything else", I can surely say, BULLSHIT! I subscribe to over 100 different YouTube channels and there's ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE! DDT out of Japan posts videos almost every day, there's a ton of Indy groups that have channels and post content, do the fucking footwork and find it if you really want something different. It's not that freaking hard so why be that lazy?

The one company I AM, looking forward to seeing? Seeing how THEIR TV is gonna go? is Billy Corgan's NWA TV Studio Wrestling.. THAT has me the most excited as their presentation to me has been off the charts good.. They have ALOT of talent that I like on the roster and it preserves the history and heritage of, the NWA while bringing it to the present. There's the option C right there along with the many channels on YouTube I can access at any given time.. Capitol Wrestling has a weekly show, AMW out of Kentucky, OVW that Al Snow now owns, I can go on and on naming groups I can watch on Wednesdays if i really want to.

So in the end, the answer is the same as the beginning of this, you fucks need to stop whining. You have more wrestling than you can ever dream of having.. Go watch it, and shut the fuck up.
