Yet ANOTHER EXAMPLE Of How Easy it Is To Smack A "Mark" (They ALWAYS, Do The same, Predictable Shit, LOL)
When are the 'marks' ever gonna learn? That guys like me it's best to avoid because I'll simply, without very much effort, easily run rings around them every time?
"Marks" today simply, have no real arguing skills. And as predictable as a rerun, they ALWAYS react, the same way, every time. When i say something like "Now go ahead and reply and show how stupid you still are", that's the invitation for them to go ahead and shut the fuck up.
Unfortunately, "Marks" prove time and again, they're just too stupid, to shut the fuck up. Latest example is here, from.. If you look at the guy's pics on FB, he's your blueprint AEW "Mark", all the way.
Why is it the AEW "Marks" are the easiest to make look like dumb fucks?
Anyways, here' the latest 'mark" getting a slap, on an AEW FB group, no less.

Teddy Hart Arrested Again In Texas
Pro wrestling veteran Teddy Hart (Edward Ellsworth Annis) is currently incarcerated in Fort Worth, Texas at the Tarrant County Corrections Center.
Records from Tarrant County shows that Hart was arrested on Wednesday, February 10.
The Arlington, Texas Police Department picked him up on one charge of Evading Arrest/Detention with a Vehicle, and one charge of Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual. Records also show that the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hart that same day on one charge of Possession of a Penalty Group 1 Controlled Substance, which usually covers cocaine, or heroin, or methamphetamine, or prescription narcotics. The records do not state which substance Hart was charged for.
Hart was jailed in Fort Worth last October on the same charges, which were related to a previous arrest in 2016. It looks like the Evading Arrest charge and the Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual charge are from that previous arrest, which he initially did time for. It’s possible that the charges he is currently in jail for are due to a parole or probation violation.
Hart, who has had numerous legal issues in the past few years, is currently being held under no bond. Hart has no scheduled court dates in Tarrant County as of this writing.
Nothing Screams "Clueless Money Mark" More Than This
Yep, You guessed it. Tony Khan, owner and money mark of AEW. I mean look at that face, does that face scream 'brilliant wrestling mind' anywhere? Anywhere?
The answer is pretty obvious if you've seen recent shows of AEW Dynamite.. The answer is, no.
I mean seriously, the man has the final word on all, ahem.. "booking;' of AEW shows and even books things himself and in the end.. No matter what the AEW 'Marks' and fanboys claim, AEW is the drizzling shits at best.
He, as well as Cody, Omega and the Young Bucks shouldn't be booking a fucking thing, let alone a wrestling show. It plainly and clearly shows that they don't have the basic fundamentals of what basic booking 101 is. Logic in story lines? Barely there, angles and Story lines that are in some way, believable? Nope, not in AEW. And let's not forget how Khan allows all the no selling, flip flop acrobatic high spots that have no substance because all these improperly trained 'wrestlers' they have on the roster believe in the mentality of they have to get a dozen spots in, in less than three minutes.
But you know, ol money mark Khan thinks this is 'brilliant stuff' (rolls eyes) when he clearly has no idea what brilliant, really is.
I hope Tony isn't getting any booking ideas from Don Callis, because Callis is on the same level as Khan, Omega, etc when it comes to shitty ass booking, and Impact Wrestling's product for over the last year has proven that to be a fact.
Why not getting actual ideas on what works and will get over by some people on your payroll who know, what works and would get over.. Like Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Jake Roberts, Dean Malenko? Oh wait, that would be way too logical and would make sense. God forbid you'd want THAT in AEW, eh?
But he sure likes to talk shit and make claims.. SSOO, since he recently on the Wrestling Fetish podcast claimed he knows what he's doing.. Let's call him out on that, shall we (and watch how he'll avoid answering, they always do when I call em out.. That's just the way the world is).
On that podcast, he said this..
“If I recall, the biggest money angle you [Konnan/AAA] had that entire year, I booked,” said Khan. “I put that entire Lucha Brothers / Young Bucks program together, and set the whole outline to you, which I still have on my phone".
Okay Tony boy.. PROV E IT! I call bullshit, you didn't lay shit out and if you say you did, PROVE IT! You 'still have it on your phone' so post it, let's see 'HOW' you allegedly 'set the whole outline out'. Put up or shut up Tonyboy and I bet all the silence that comes after you see this, will be the proof I'm right, that you're lying and full of shit.
No what happens when you have a clueless money mark thinking he can book a major wrestling federation? You end up with a shit show like AEW Dynamite and have the money mark owner making claims that, now that I called him out on, will now, most likely do what's smart and just shut the fuck up. Knowing Tonyboy doesn't like to be challenged, he most likely will do what others have done when I called them out, and that's shut the fuck up.. he knows it's in his best interests to do just that cause everyone knows now that I called him out, he'll just avoid or try and sidestep it, bitching up like everyone else does, that's just what happens and it happens, every time. Not my fault that's just the way, the world is. :)
SAMMY GUEVARA REPORTEDLY IN HOT WATER WITH AEW AFTER NIXING IMPACT STORYLINE
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, AEW star Sammy Guevara has landed in hot water with AEW over an Impact angle. AEW owner Tony Khan is not pleased with Guevara after he voiced complaints about a planned storyline which would have brought Guevara into the ongoing inter-promotional angle with Impact Wrestling.
The source reports to Slam Wrestling that after this Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, which saw Guevara quit the Inner Circle faction, Chris Jericho floated the idea of Guevara appearing on Impact. He pitched the idea to Khan who contacted Impact about writing Guevara into an angle at the last minute. Impact’s first take on things was rejected but a second idea was given the greenlight by Khan.
Plans were made to shoot the angle the next day but Impact received a message directly from Guevara complaining about the creative direction. Impact in turn contacted Khan and Jericho with this news. Jericho reached out to Impact Executive Vice-President Don Callis about banning Guevara from Impact’s premises.
By the time Guevara arrived in Nashville he received a message from Jericho advising him to return home and not to head to Impact’s shooting location.
After all is said and done and the smoke has cleared, AEW management is apparently concerned that Guevara’s actions may have possibly hurt their relationship with Impact Wrestling.

Another Horrible Segment On Impact As Juice Robinson & David Finlay DEBUT, Confronted by Good Brothers! | IMPACT! Highlights Feb 16, 2021
Who the fuck, wrote the promo for The Good Brothers? Whoever wrote it for them needs to stop writing promos for people. And if it was The Good brothers who came up with this shit on their own? Then maybe they need to have someone write promos for them, because their promo sucked ass, big time.
For some reason 'marks' are really high on this team. I don't see it, I can't see why. They do pretty much the same moves every other tag team does and they do nothing that really stands out, except make shitty promos like the on here.
Maybe that's what makes them stand out, their shit promos.
This whole "Being confronted' had 'cure for insomnia' written all over it, it was that bad.
Thank God I only watch the highlights on YouTube, because there's no way I could suffer thru an entire show full of shit like this. But this.. is what Impact thinks is 'great programming' (rolls eyes) .
Here's the link if you really want to see this utter crap.

This, Was F'N Horrible As...Moose DESTROYS Tommy Dreamer in Hardcore War! | IMPACT! Highlights Feb 16, 2021
This, was so fucking horrible to watch which shows you just how bad Impact's wrestling product really is.
First off, how can you have a hardcore match and no blood? And why does Dreamer even have his fists taped if there's gonna be no blood in the match? It totally defeats the purpose of having the fists taped up. I can lost many taped fist matches that e very time, had blood spilling in it. Dreamer having his taped and Moose isn't bleeding shows a HUGE, lack of logic when this match was laid out.
And Dreamer delivered the absolute worst cutter known to man kind. It looked like he was literally in slow motion when he hit it. I understand about him 'losing a step' because he's gotten older, heavier, hurt, etc. But this was a real pathetic outing and if this was supposed to be a 'hardcore' match? It's one of the most lamest 'Hardcore" matches I've ever seen.
And oh yeah, by the way.. Wasn't "No Surrender' supposed to be Dreamer's retirement match? Oh yeah, that's right. I almost forgot, nobody sticks to stipulations anymore.. Just throw em out there, willy nilly and don't expect anyone to actually think you'll stick to them.
If I was watching the whole show and saw this? This would be one of the things that'd have me grab the remote and change the channel. It was that bad.
But for the three people who actually want to suffer thru this, here's the link.

ELI DRAKE ARRIVES IN WWE NXT, And WWE Has Already Screwed Him By Giving Him A Dumb Ass New Ring Name
Figures that WWE just can't leeqave well enough alone and let a name, be THAT name and draw. NNAAA, why do something so logical and makes sense? Oh, I know why, because logic and common sense doesn't make senbse in the WWE Universe.
The former Eli Drake arrived in WWE on tonight's NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day pre-show.
During the pre-show, Drake interrupted panelists Wade Barrett, Sam Roberts, and Barstool Sports' Brandon Walker. Drake cut a promo about joining NXT and announced that his new in-ring name is LA Knight.
Drake insulted the panelists and said that he was injecting a little bit of star power into the pre-show. Drake announced his new name and said NXT might have a stacked deck, but while they're playing cards -- he just walked in rolling dice. Drake said he just changed the game. He mentioned the NXT North American Championship and the NXT Championship and said anyone walking around with those titles should make sure they have their eyes open because he's coming for them.
Drake ended his promo by declaring that this is now LA Knight's game.
Prior to signing with WWE, the 38-year-old Drake was most recently with the NWA. He held the NWA Tag Team titles with James Storm from January of last year to November.
Drake is also a former Impact Wrestling World Champion.
Drake, whose real name is Shaun Ricker, was part of WWE developmental from 2013-2014. He used the name Slate Randall during his first stint with the company.

What Does WWE Do When Something They Didn't Create, Gets over? They Edit it Off In Hopes Fans Won't Remember it (Dumb Asses)
WWE edited Nia Jax's "My Hole" line off their YouTube clip and the Hulu replay of Raw. The line had trended all day long on Twitter yesterday.
Of course they were quick to edit it away, it got over and because nobody in WWE'S "Creative" came up with that line, or told Nia to say it, they were quick to try and get rid of it.
"Can't have anything we didn't create ourselves get over, don't you know" is basically, the 'WWE Mentality'.
Which shows why WWE continue to be such dumb shits. God forbid something they didn't create gets over and they actually have to be 'creative' enough to try and find a way to run with it. I guess that's too much of a challenge for them which is why WWE's Creative Department has always been, 'creatively challenged'.
Eric Bischoff On How AEW Has Flatlined And It’s Been That Way Essentially For A Year
On the latest episode of the 83 Weeks Podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about how AEW has Flatlinede when it comes to their booking and ratings.
“AEW does a good job of marketing themselves outside of their television show,” Bischoff said. “TNA had the outlook or perspective that all you had to do was put a television show on the air and people will come. That’s true to a certain degree, but you’ve got to preach outside the choir in your own church to attract a bigger audience or even in a subtle way making your product feel more important to the people that do watch you on T.V. Making that pay per view feel like it’s must see.
“A large part of that is booking and to a large extent that was a failure in TNA and WCW and occasionally in WWE and AEW. There are storylines that are weak but there are also storylines in WWE and AEW that are really compelling that make up for it. Look at some of the stuff AEW has done in the last year and half to promote themselves outside of the people that are watching the show every week. They’ve spent lots of money, TNA wasn’t willing too.”
Bischoff also responded to comments that Chris Jericho made in 2011 about TNA needing to try to do something different to enhance their product.
“If I was working for TNA I would project that it’s the greatest wrestling company in the world because if you’re not projecting it, why is anyone going to believe it?” Jericho said at the time. “When we were in ECW it was small, I never made more than $250 a show but you would die for that company and when you came across that way, the fans came across that way and suddenly you have this underground revolution going on and it was real, it was a revolution, people believed it was the best. No one in TNA believes they are in the best company and if they don’t believe it then why am I going to believe it as a fan? Why am I going to buy their product?
“[TNA’s] just so bush league, they can do better than that and the guys on top there should know better and it really makes me mad because they’re wasting money and they don’t have to be wasting money but I’m not burying TNA I’m saying you should be ashamed of yourself because you can do better.”
Bischoff said those same comments could now be used in reference to AEW and that AEW needs to find a way to grow their brand.
“I think it’s going to come back to bite him in the ass is what I think,” Bischoff said. “AEW last week they did about 800,000 viewers, they opened the door with 1.5 million viewers and haven’t been able to crack 1 million since or if they have it’s been only on 1 or 2 occasions. They’ve essentially flatlined at 7 or 800,000 viewers on average for the last year and a half.
“That’s an observation that could, unless something turns around in the next 18 months, come back to haunt someone like Chris. Quite frankly, AEW has flatlined and it’s been that way essentially for a year. It’s easy to talk about a business you’re not really in. Chris has never run a wrestling business and when he made that statement, he was making it from a position of a talent not an executive.”
Of course the people who book AEW will of course, 'conveniently' ignore this because you know, according to them, they know what they're doing (when it's obvious that they don't), and when the truth hurts, they just look away and hope the truth magically, will go away.
