Do you agree pw
>>10281402I hate watching old ecw bc joey styles is a shitter. Its like listening to the most chick-repellant kid at your high school
>>10281402well, I do now if he said it.
>>10281402Yes. The cycle of doing the most over the top shit you can is that someone else will come in to top that with something even crazier, thus ECW doesn't age well when you look at what wrestling has become
>>10281421Have you watched any old SMW. Outside of The gangsters making hillbillies seethe I don't see the appeal
>>10281421So you identify as a chick? KWAB
I haven’t cut my toenails in easily four to five months. My ‘index’ and middle toe nails are curving in because of my socks and beginning to piece the skin. I broke both my toenails off stubbing my toe into shit
Both have fun clips online but if you spend a lot of time watching either in 2023 you should seriously consider euthanasia.
>>10281402Yeah, all those Smoky Mountain wrestling reunion shows and Smoky mountain originals factions formed in other promotions just prove how well it aged, oh wait....
>>10281402Yeah, probably. New Jack was dimes
>>10281421You are a fucking faggot
>>10281402>implying /pw/ has watched either
>>10281402For me personally both ooze soul but different types of it, I haven’t watched enough smw to make an apt comparison doe
>>10281592I feel like most people have seen at least a few ECW showsWhy the fuck would you watch SMW unless you're a fat smelly anti-smark
>>10281440>Smoky Mountain wrestling reunion showsWould unironically draw many dimes, but why when Cornette and his pet jew can sit on their asses spewing lukewarm takes and collect $$$ from faggots.
>>10281402Why did he fail everywhere he went?
>>10283030He didn't fail in OVW. He created the last superstars of wrestling.>inb4 wahh he made batista a vampireHe trained them. Without his knowledge, especially on what to say no about to Vince, none of them get over.
>>10281402The best thing about SMW was New Jack working southern hicks into a seething shoot.
>>10282931>Would unironically draw many dimesNo it wouldn't Smokey Mountain was a no dimes mudshow.
>>10281402Yes. ECW is everything that is wrong woth modern wrestling. it all starts there. Fuck Paol
>>10281402Jim Cornette is absolutely delusional
Absolutely. Most of the fondly remembered ecw matches were spot fests which don’t stand up to standards of todays spot fests. SMW had the god tier white boy babyface run. Basically stone cold Steve Austin if he wasn’t a cartoon sports entertainment pussy. Tammy aka Sunny was a top tier heel. Smothers vs Candido still the goated ladder match. Even the mummy is better than anything ecw did when you have the context for it. SMW wasn’t just better than ECW it was the only good American wrestling in the 90s. The only stuff that aged poorly is shit you faggots should be eating up like racialized heels the gangstas and Dixie Dynamite a confederate flag covered super hero for kids.
kek this was FOSSILISED 30 years before it even came out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEddvPxwRw
>>10283054>he babysat guys Vince was going to push no matter what, therefore he's not a failureYeah it was a real gamble on WWE pushing Brock. Who could've seen that coming?
Yeah, I agree.
>>10281747I've never ever seen an ECW show and don't know what Smokey Mountain is
>>10284803They ran in Appalachia. If anything this was too cutting edge.
Funnily enough none of the Cornette listeners have ever watched one show of SMW
>>10284902Anon, Johnny B Goode was released in 1958.
>>10284947You really underestimate how isolates that part of the country is. Especially in the early 90s.
>>10284989barely consider it civilisation desu
>>10281431You should have watched Dixie Dynamite vs. The Confederate Yeti. Confederate Yeti wins by throwing confetti into Dixie's eyes for the pin. Pure kino.
>>10284868The simplest posts the most true
>>10285034This is the take of an e’tard thinks all wrestling from the 80s was cartoon hulk hogan bullshit and only knows smw from bad take criticism by buck fans. SMW was violent AF, and they did it without wrestlers stopping in the middle of the match to set up Rube Goldberg machines.
>>10284803Lmfaoooooooo. Cornette is literally LE BORN IN DA WRONG GENERATION of his time.What's this 50's shit?
>>10285106>SMW>80s
>>10285106I grew up on Ga Championship Wrestling. And WCW in the 80's. The cover of every wrestling magazine was either Dusty, Flair, or Harley Race covered in blood. I was making a funny post.
>>10281402boomer shit DOES NOT DRAW
>>10285135Those are separate statements explaining his ignorance of both the 80s wrestling that influenced smw and smw it self. You’re bad faith and also can’t read.
Joey is the goat of casting in my opinion. Barley legal 97 is proof of that he made that show all by himself. irish whip!
>>10285161>it selfgms
>>10285164Only thing people like from that show was the six man. Which was basically a house show match for those guys. Very similar to when all the zoomers lost their mind about the dragon gate 6 man in roh.
>>10285236Agreed, i think joey is the only reason to actually watch it, that show being a PPV killed it
>>10285236>not Eliminators/Dudleyz>not Douglas/Pitbull>not Sabu/Taz>not FUNK
I liked watching SMW on YouTube it was comfy and every episode ran into the next. It felt like an episodic show that made sense. It got really good when Terry Funk showed up. I’ve never watched ECW as it’s never been on YouTube but the ppvs were pretty sick. Both were ahead of their time with shocking violence but ecw seems like a product of the 90’s and went a little bit to far in places. I wish I could watch the weekly ecw shows so I could compare them fairly
>>10281402New Jack and Chris Candido/Tammy Sytch were way better used in Smokey Mountain Wrestling than they were in ECW. In ECW, the Gangstahs and New Jack in particular were dumbed the fuck down and basically prototype versions of New Day while Cornette was able to make Tammy and Chris major fucking heels, whereas in ECW they were glorified flunkies for Shane Douglas.
>>10285318They made more money off ECW than they did in SMW and that's with Heyman jewing them. Cornette even admits that Gangstas got the wrong heat because they couldn't sell anything.
>>10285262>not Eliminators/DudleyzSquash match that depends on how impressive you think the eliminators movez are. Me being a seasoned movez watcher who still prefers a match to tell a story was not impressed.>not Douglas/PitbullA good match for the first half then becomes complete shit half way through. Douglas whose not the good guy, or supposed to be a tough guy just starts no selling everything cause heaven forbid they don't get their slow uninteresting spots in before their time is up.>>not Sabu/TazSloppy, felt like an AEW match.>>not FUNKfeel good win but shit matches.
SMW is the only wrestling my wife sat down with me and watched. She loved hating Tammy and rooting for all the well meaning rednecks.
>>10285373>Me being a seasoned movez watcher who still prefers a match to tell a story was not impressed.smells like plebbit>>10285318>the Gangstahs and New Jack in particular were dumbed the fuck down and basically prototype versions of New DayCornycel finna throw his back out with that stretch
Justin Credible being pushed like he was prime Shawn Michaels was so fucking dumb.
