Kobojunkie:nope. 14 is symbolistic of 15. 14 is telling what happens in 15 using symbol. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the law but this time to the whole world. 14 is only explaining what happens in 15. It's metaphorical, and not literal. Meanwhile it's surprising that you don't understand simple things as that. The world has moved on from differentiating between the law and the new convenant. Oh well. |
Kobojunkie:"that WHOSOEVER believeth in him"; "whosoever", not "whosoever that have the blood of Israel in their veins". |
God is love. (1 John 3 vs 8 ). God loves you with His heart. (John 3 vs 16) It is why He sent His only begotten son to die for you. It doesn't matter what you're facing, He's always there to help. Cast your burdens on Him. (Matt 11:28-30) Give Him your heart. Give Him your heart. Serve Him. Serve Him. Serve Him with all your heart. Jesus loves you. He saves. Amen. |

AEW is doing a New Japan styled round robin tournament; void of interferences and external storyline; guess what, they are doing well. People are still watching; nobody is dying. I'm not even praising AEW cos they have been the source of some of the most horrendous creative decisions in modern era, but this they have done deserves praise, and it's no surprise it was Bryan Danielson's idea. A sports based product works and it's what the wrestling world currently needs to return legitimacy back to itself. On the other channel, Punk is back and he cuts a great promo (or makes a speech) as Phil Brooks, straight from the heart, authentic, simple, and most importantly - NO GIMMICK NEEDED. Una wey carry gimmick for head, I taya for una o. Asides him they are also guys like Gunther (the source wrestler to my current wrestling mindset) who are doing well without gimmicks. Toh. |
Why are the pictures this blurry and low quality? |
CoolUsername:no vex. At your free time, there exist other non-emotionally related questions I tagged you in so you can respond to. Selah. |
CoolUsername you won't reply messages now, but writing an essay to showcase the lack of understanding of the English language isn't much of a stress for you. |
CoolUsername:now reply my other comments. God knows I won't waste an ounce of energy returning to this matter. |
samistry:what is celebrity Jeopardy? Never heard of it. Ric Flair could be on this show and still draw big numbers. That being said, give it time, the effect will show, except you're saying wins and losses don't matter in pro-wrestling. |
CoolUsername:It should be your business, the why is more important than the what. If your fav company makes decisions motivated by the wrong reasons, that spells doom for them. So why did they bring Becky to NXT? A desperate attempt at ratings, as simple as that. It wasn't to elevate any rookie, it wasn't so that a career defining moment is created for any rookie; it was simply a desperate attempt at ratings. The same reason they brought Judgement Day, Cena, Taker, Cody, New Day, Rey and the rest; a desperate attempt at ratings. The more I think about it the more I realize that the show is slowly less becoming about developmental wrestlers and the main roster guys are stealing the spotlight from the up and comers. Yes, it's true. If the top guys want to truly help the main roster guys then they should help train and give them advice. As simple as that. Going down to the DEVELOPMENTAL (hope you know what this word means) brand to win titles will eventually cause more harm than good as Becky's value has significantly dropped for participating with the dev brand too much and at the end losing to a dev wrestler. It's appalling. Back in the day if you were drafted to ECW (still part of the main roster) it was a downgrade, now imagine voluntarily participating in a DEVELOPMENTAL brand only to lose to a developmental wrestler. No amount of sentiment you spill can make sense of that decision. WINS AND LOSSES MATTER. CoolUsername:Since you keep going back to this matter I'll explain for the last time. I DON'T FOLLOW WWE. I can't remember when last I watched a full WWE show. If there isn't anything good on TV, sure I'll give them a chance, but I don't watch nor like WWE. I don't follow them. It's that simple. I am though, a pro-wrestling fan so it is still my duty to know what's going on in the pro-wrestling world generally. I follow trending news in the wrestling world and if I hear that WWE did something good on their programming, I can go check it out to see if it's truly good or not. But know that I don't follow WWE. It's that simple. That being said Grayson Waller and all the other newbies are people I wish the best for, but I don't trust WWE in 2023 to know how to present a wrestler, especially a new one. I mean look what they did to Johnny Gargano. They turned him into a comedy actor immediately he debuted on the main roster, and now he's irrelevant. Grayson (who used to be my favorite prospect) is now Miz-lite and doing nothing of worth on the main roster. Now they are seeking how they can get talent from AEW and make big names out of them, what about their own NXT guys, aren't they good enough. WWE isn't that great company anymore. I realized this years ago. For some of you guys it's this Bloodline thing that is sharking you and I just laugh. Has the story not bombed now? What is almighty Sami Zayn doing now? Storylines don't work in wrestling. Even as an AEW fan I say the same thing even after the 2 year long story of Adam Page. At the end he was a bad champion. Storylines don't work brother. Deal with it. |
CoolUsername:and where's Danhausen today? He isn't even a wrestler. That's like worst example you could bring up. Hogan was serious, same as The Rock. Seriousness was what people remembered them for and definitely not goofiness. If there ever were, then it was minimal and it got overshadowed by their actual serious work in the ring. There is no basis for argument here. Meanwhile my bone to pick with you, is you saying pro-wrestling is and should be goofy. And I've already established that you can't use comedy to back up your point because it takes an intelligent person to make people laugh. The word "goofy" in itself is a negative word and I still don't understand why you choose to stand by this baseless argument of yours, asides the fact that Vince has reconfigured your thinkings. Again, if pro-wrestling were goofy and stupid as you insist then there's no basis for Pu7pl3 to come here every week to critique each show. A goofy show doesn't need critiquing because there's no basis of logic to do that. Hell, no one should even watch a goofy show. I think you need to re-evaluate your life's choices. Don't deflect or avoid my questions again. Answer them directly, squarely, logically and drop every form of sentiment what so ever. CoolUsername:no one thinks of backstage comedy segments when they think of Brock and Angle, they think of Mania 19 and the Smackdown 30 minutes Iron Man match. Comedy is good, it just doesn't belong in wrestling. I already mentioned that before. CoolUsername:you said they don't make contact so I'm asking, how do they get injured so much if they barely make contact as you claimed. I say they make contact, but with minimized impact, so that if someone makes too much impact it may lead to an actual injury. It's not a movie, it's pro-wrestling. CoolUsername:really? You think so little of me. No wonder you're so hot. You think I'm speaking only against WWE? I'm speaking to the whole wrestling community. You can let your guard down now, I'm not here to witch-hunt your fav company. I'm speaking about the whole industry. Atleast Khabib is making money doing real, logical, non-goofy stuff. CoolUsername:But they got bought by UFC though. I don't even want them to become UFC. I just want wrestling to become logical. I want what you might want to call a sports based product. There is a reason why people have been yearning for that for years. There is a reason WWE adjusted their wrestling matches and patterns over the years to suit that phrase. There is a reason why many fans jumped on the AEW bandwagon after Tony Khan promised a sports based product. There is too much entertainment going on in wrestling and especially WWE today. It needs to reduce so the sports aspect of it can shine. |
CoolUsername:it's true, it's the comedy, and absolutely nothing to do with his wrestling and acting skills. I wonder why comedy didn't work for Santino, Hurricane and other comedic wrestlers that you don't even know because they weren't even successful enough to have their names remembered. Nice job deflecting the Brock Lesnar analysis. Brock is a widely known realistic fighter and the worst moments in his career was doing those few comedy stuffs (I wonder why). Nobody thinks of comedy when they recall what made WWE great. They think Austin and The Rock, Hogan and Andre; all serious stuffs. There is entertainment in wrestling, but it's not silly, it is serious. If it was silly, no one would watch it, except if they were dumb of course. CoolUsername:so where do the consussions come from if they weren't making contact. Where do the receipts come from. What about the legitimate injuries since the wrestlers are just petting each other in the face. CoolUsername:wrestling is not stupid; or atleast shouldn't be. If it was then there is no basis to watch it, cos only a stupid person can watch and enjoy a stupid show. Are you stupid? Again, comedy isn't stupidity, good comedy is logical and intelligent. My argument still remains that, even though I like comedy, it doesn't belong in wrestling and it's not an excuse to refer to pro-wrestling as silly just because you're too scared to admit that a lot of things Vince McMahon sold you guys makes no sense. CoolUsername:I believe I already answered this. CoolUsername:I don't even know if we're talking about the same thing, but I know what I've told you. And I never said WWE as a whole was failing, my main point was NXT. I just used that to explain my point. I'll just say WWE being significantly lesser than UFC which they are far older than is a sign that their show is heavily flawed. But that's another discussion for another day. CoolUsername:with or without main roster guys? You're the one deflecting. Your graph is correct, no one is disputing that; but like I said before, admit it's a sign of desperation from WWE to consistently introduce main roster guys on the dev show. I used an example of CR7. Very logical, but you completely deflected to continue the boring tale about graphs meanwhile you consistently refuse to answer the question. That's not a debate, it's not even a discussion. CoolUsername:Grayson Waller? The prospect I had so much hope for and my fears for him came to pass because WWE doesn't know how to do anything. They eventually turned him to Miz 2.0. No, that's not a success. Anybody can be no 1 contender, the script just has to say so. Whats her crowd reaction like? Atleast Knight is getting some. What's the ratings when she's on TV? That's how you know a real star. I have nothing against her, but I don't trust WWE to know how to properly present a wrestler in 2023. |
CoolUsername:it's funny how the least favorite parts of Brock's menacing career is what you mention. Do you have more? For 1 comedy Brock you show me, I'll produce 10 serious dangerous Brocks that people were actually interested in. CoolUsername:they wear tights cos it's a sport and so they can move around easily, same thing with boxers and MMA fighters (are they silly too?). They aren't pretending to fight, they act, like in movies, and also hit each other a bit to show realism. There's nothing silly about legimately getting punched in the face, bleeding and getting concussed. All that shows it's a serious business and should be treated as such. CoolUsername:guy our world is run by logic. I don't know what you're thinking trying to defend your point so badly, because even entertainment is logical. It's why movies have critics and it's also why people walk out of theatres when the movie makes no sense, as simple as that. Pu7pl3 comes here every week to critique wrestling shows. He wouldn't do that if he believed wrestling was naturally stupid, as you claim. What then would be his justification for critiquing the shows. Stop being sentimental because of WWE. CoolUsername:Ari Emmanuel did a press conference (or sort) discussing that. Look it up. CoolUsername:at what time? Atleast not anymore. They need main roster guys (who have no business being there) to get consistent big numbers (this is true whether you admit it or not). It's really bad when Becky is boasting about consistently defending a developmental belt. Imagine CR7 boasting t of winning developmental trophies at this point in his career. She doesn't even belong on that roster. Dev belts are for dev wrestlers, but I guess WWE doesn't use logic anyway. CoolUsername:NXT drafts in general abeg. These ones you've mentioned haven't made any impact. If WWE needs stars, they get from other brands like AEW, Impact, ROH and NJPW. It's funny how WWE no longer knows how to make stars that they have to import them. |
CoolUsername:it's true he already did some press release for that. He said TKO Isn't making as much profit as they anticipated and he's going to be relying on strategies to make some - something like that. |
CoolUsername:comedy isn't silly it's a serious business. That being said, wrestling isn't comedy - so if you say Rowan made his money by doing silly things then what is silly about Brock Lesnar bashing somebody's head in with his huge fist? How is pro-wrestling in any way likened to Comey I ask. Good comedy isn't silly or goofy, it's logical and intelligent. CoolUsername:is it an act of desperation, yes or no?! I don't have the time to go into detail with you but bringing main roster guys to compete with dev guys is a lazy move to get ratings. Again, how do we trust the dev guys to take over the company when they can't even draw on their own. It's no wonder the dev guys do nothing when they eventually get called up. No one that came from the NXT right now is doing anything of worth. Tell me when I'm telling lies. |
CoolUsername:now you're rolling in the same mud with them. Kudos. CoolUsername:you used 'silly' and 'entertained' in the same sentence, that says it all. Vince sold you guys (and he's good at it) a bill of goods and y'all bought it. Brock is silly. A billion dollar company is silly, wow you've got a hell of a mindset going on. CoolUsername:this one is English; is Becky, Cena, Taker, Cody, and every other main roster guy that appear on that show an act of desperation, yes or no?! CoolUsername:There is nothing to be sure here. They need good ratings to please sponsors especially with this new merger. Having sponsors isn't the same as keeping them. Fox is pulling out for the same reason, Ari Emmanuel is saying they're not profiting for the same reason, so I know what I'm saying. |
CoolUsername:guy, you're a WWE fanboy, I know. But this isn't America where company partisanship reigns supreme. We over here in Naija have bigger things to worry about , so let's leave the fantasy for those who are actually close to the wrestling companies. Wrestling is silly! I didn't say this, other people did. It's a well known fact. And that exactly is my point - it shouldn't be. The silliness is the reason original NXT wrestlers can't draw (since it became 2.0), the gimmicks, excess scripts - you name it - have all been the reason for their downfall. Now they need good ratings to attract sponsors and brands in this new merger and they can't because wrestling (atleast in 2023) is silly - known fact. They now import wrestlers and actual stars that have no business being on that roster to be there, even if it's their asset can we atleast agree that it's an act of desperation and it's because the current crop of talent are not that good. Come to think of it, if the developmental guys aren't that good and can't make money for the company; where does that leave the future of the company? Leave company partisanship for actual Americans and face reality; wrestling today is bad. |
samistry:when people tell you "I watch for the story" or "it's entertainment", you know there's a problem. WWE ruined pro-wrestling like that. They made it silly, goofy and inauthentic. These are facts. I'm not saying they aren't selling merch, Disney is too, but that doesn't make it pro-wrestling. I don't have much of a problem with them currently cos they've cooled down on that storyline. All I'm saying is that they ruined wrestling and it's a fact. |
CoolUsername:we're not kids here. Remove the main roster guys completely and let's see what they make on a weekly. We already know what the number is so forget this argument. |
CoolUsername:you don't need to ''make anybody look strong". If you're strong it will show. Imagine trying to make Brock look strong, lol. Wrestling should be organic; flexible. WWE ruined it with their excessive booking and marketing. Forget the rest. NJPW has been on a deep decline since the pandemic. AEW (though had a big show in the UK) has been suffering from low attendance; it's comical at the moment. WWE, oh they are pretty good at marketing but they can't hide how bad they are currently. They've barely made any new stars, they need to bring back legends and old-timers to pop numbers and they depend so much on the Saudi shows. And the biggest proof of all; a much younger UFC beats them in size and quality. Ask people what they think first when they think WWE and you'll hear the "old names". In summary WWE is a lot of brilliant marketing built on already established reputation with less substance to show (how can you explain pipeing noise). "Talent like Bianca Belair", okay o. All I know is you can't teach talent and passion. |
CoolUsername:but why will WWE even consistently tell Punk to "make Roman look really strong". They made wrestling popular but no one can convince me that they didn't ruin it. |
CoolUsername:let's pretend that WWE didn't do that for a desperate attempt at ratings for NXT. It was a bad idea from the start and I mentioned it. Nobody truly wins in things like this but una no wan listen. Meanwhile where is the 1 million ratings she popped for one night; does it still exist after then? THINK LONGTERM. |
Scrutiny on the way: Now Becky Lynch - a multi-time World champion - has lost to Lyra Valkyria - a developmental wrestler - what's her value? I'm curious. |
.. |
CoolUsername:the fact that it's making them mad doesn't mean it isn't true. |
See as Tinubu supporters don quiet. During election period you couldn't shut them up, but now it seems they've found their silence and I know what that means. |
Truth Bomb: LA Knight ain't it. |
Lizzysamuel:don't mind him. Maybe he has a special depot where he purchases his own bags of rice. |
Rate MJF's title reign: Me: 6/10 |
CoolUsername:alright, the aim of the experiment is to know exactly why wrestling fans watch wrestling, and in the case of WWE, from this current example to your previous one; the OLD names and times is what keeps you watching. |
