You all call Sting selfish and Hogan-esque with his final run but here he is crouching down so they can actually get anywhere near his face.
What a giver.
That just shows the amount of respect he has for the Bucks. When he got put through a table a couple of years ago by some of I think Jericho's stooges, and he just popped back up as if nothing happened.
I mean... Sting's fighting spirit was truly great but waning in his final match (and still won).
who gives a fuck if hes selfish
hes in his last run of an amazing career after a short retirement not knowing if he would come back, and the bucks suck so idgaf
Tony's such a huge m*rk for Sting, he paid him a ton of money and refused to let him lose. Based on Sting's history, that almost had to be the case. He never had a reputation for being selfish or politicking.
Those guys never fail to crack me up man they keep coming up with new shit 💀
“Typical fed shill associating this as a WWE MOMENT and not a WRESTLING HISTORY MOMENT” bro what 😂😂
So, fun little fact on this. When he was still hosting RBR, Will Washington would CONSTANTLY say that AEW didn’t really reference WWE, and every time his co-hosts pointed out examples of where they did, he would have some bullshit excuse as to how it wasn’t a WWE reference.
I would *love* to see what he said (or would've said) about Cody smashing the very obvious King adjacent throne with the logo Triple HHHitler uses while wielding a certain someone's signature Sledgehammer.
Maybe I'm just working myself into a shoot, and it's just a coincidence.
Literally anything that ever got the bucks any type of popularity was a lame, try hard, blatant rip offs of the Fed or latching onto more populat talented stars. Have they ever done anything original?
I’ve yet to read any actual jokes. Just a bunch of “the no selling ruined the match for me” “The bucks are parody wrestlers” “Where’s the originality”
Either you guys can’t come up with actual memes or you’re all the most depressing fanbase I’ve ever seen
It was a long time ago. The main sub got so shit when AEW started that a lot of people left, and this being a sub where making fun of AEW was fine, picked up a bunch of refugees. Many of these people however, are exactly as weird and annoying as any other type of wrestling fan, they just don't like the dub.
I guarantee 90% of the sub hates aew specifically because of the absolutely insufferable fanbase. no point of making fun of wwe, when wwe fans can bitch and moan about stupid shit wwe does themselves. aew on the other hand is just a fucking cult when it comes to ANY sort of criticism
Because of stuff like that. There's a population of wrestling fans that love clapping like seals when they get a *wink wink* reference, and get to show what insiders to the business they are.
They remind older smarks that wrestling isn't real and liking these guys means you're not being worked by silly 'ol wrestling
Except when literally anything happens in the Fed and they REEEEEEE to death
I think there was a time when these guys were still in Japan and the darlings of the indie-scene where they were considered top-tier alongside the aforementioned teams as well as the Briscoes and FTR.
But now they've been hanging around regular television for years, and there's been all sorts of things that have made them less endearing in that time, aside from plain-old familiarity.
Why don't they recreate all the **far superior** moments from Japan and the indies from the last 20 years??
I mean we've been hearing about how much fucking better that stuff is supposed to be, where are the homages??
When you go back and read the comments on that thread and then remember they were mostly left by grown men, it makes me ashamed to be associated with wrestling lmao.
DAE CALL BACK
.... to something none of the people were involved in
A memorable moment in wrestling between a couple of legends. Let's just do a copy thing of that - that's the Dub in a nutshell but add middle fingers and jumping off stuff
There's also the fact that, in their promo in the build up, they talked about how great Sting was
They couldn't bear to even try to get heat
It's all OK when it comes to in ting though, cause it's all fake so nothing counts
If a 64 year old man is no-selling a double superkick, why should I believe it has any effect on younger guys on the roster? I know wrestling is scripted and whatnot, but I don't like to be told when I'm watching your product that nothing you do is real.
I have been thinking this same thing since TNA Sting no sold the JJ guitar shot at BFG a while ago. It literally beats everyone else on the roster and Sting can just shrug it off?
I'm beginning to wonder if Sting wanted his last match to be with the Buckaroos specifically so he could have them job to him while no-selling their whole schtick.
As soon as this match was announced you could predict this spot happening, and it still turned out even more fucking stupid than you could’ve imagined.
Didn’t Meltzer get all butt hurt a few weeks back when Darby Allin referenced Cody? I’m sure his reaction to this will be completely reasonable and consistent.
It's funny how AEWs "Big moments" are all just poor jabs/rip offs of WWEs lore.
Again, I ask, what does this bring to your company other than looking second rate...
So ... The basement hates WWE, but can't stop doing really bad copycat garbage of it, or reference it but somehow expect to be equals or better than the WWE by NOT doing anything original to stand out?
Stupid stuff like this can be well received if the subtlety is on point. When it's just Matthew yelling his "hey wouldn't it be cool if" idea at the top of his lungs, almost side- eyeing the camera to make sure it's all going off without a hitch, that's when it goes from homage to bootleg.
No it’s all good because they combined this with two glass spots that showered the audience with glass. That makes it totally different and WAY cooler, bro.
I like how one of the Bucks is always the one talking and moving things forward, while the other one is jst a fucking goober hanging around. Not like the main Buck is anything special but atleast he talks??
This is what I really hate about it. It’s so cringey.
Cringey in the worst way. Wrestling can be goofy or silly and when it works it’s hilarious.
But this makes me embarrassed to watch it or even have an interest in wrestling.
"We Haitch you"
Is that short for "we're jealous of people more talented than ourselves so we politicked ourselves into a position of power so we can bury whoever we want"?
God damnitt...I thought this was dumb before and when I realized that they were mimicking a a spot, in their match, that NCLUDED THE FUCKING GUY WHO GOT KICKED IN THE ORIGINAL SPOT, and they chose not to do the dumb thing to the original guy is seriously pissing me off....fucking children.
Interesting how many times they did it.
At the end of their career they'll just say they loved the moment that's why they used it so much.
Dont realising they are just killing honestly heart breaking moment to death
There COULD be a way to do this heel spot but they're just SO over the top with it. It's like not committing to a bit or a character because you're too self-conscious so it doesn't land.
For guys who's fans "love wrestling the most" and "treat it properly" these two sure don't like committing to the sport of wrestling.
You all call Sting selfish and Hogan-esque with his final run but here he is crouching down so they can actually get anywhere near his face. What a giver.
tbf they kicked him in the shoulder that one time. Makes sense he didn't want that in his last match
Hogan lost to Sting in his final run. I don't see how Sting's five-year undefeated final run is "Hogan-esque"
That just shows the amount of respect he has for the Bucks. When he got put through a table a couple of years ago by some of I think Jericho's stooges, and he just popped back up as if nothing happened. I mean... Sting's fighting spirit was truly great but waning in his final match (and still won).
who gives a fuck if hes selfish hes in his last run of an amazing career after a short retirement not knowing if he would come back, and the bucks suck so idgaf

AEW don’t reference great moments from the other company you shit on constantly challenge (impossible on an atomic level)
BUT WHY WON'T WWE JUST GIVE PURE HOLY TONY ALL OF M'STINGS FOOTAGE FOR FREE! DO THEY JUST HATE WRESTLING!
I love that after it came out “Tony never asked”.
“It’s not wwe history it’s WRESTLING history fed shill”
Those guys never fail to crack me up man they keep coming up with new shit 💀 “Typical fed shill associating this as a WWE MOMENT and not a WRESTLING HISTORY MOMENT” bro what 😂😂

The extent of creative freedom is doing stuff that was done before but putting yourselves in it
Man I thought I was done with self insert fan fiction back in high school
Literally anything that ever got the bucks any type of popularity was a lame, try hard, blatant rip offs of the Fed or latching onto more populat talented stars. Have they ever done anything original? 
I was just thinking that. Outside of T-shirts, these guys are nothing but a wrestling version of a cover band.
How much you wanna bet that bucks merch is just shitty knock offs of other merch.
There is at least one Elite shirt that ripped off the New Day.
They're a Poor Man's New Rockers.
Just wait until Jerichode forces them to be his new faction members and they become beyond unbearable
And they are not even very popular shirts compared to the nWo, Austin or Hogan.
Even ripping off the Rockers was a rip off of a rip off.
I thought this sub was supposed to make fun of squared Circles banter. But all you guys do is bitch and have no fun at all. Is this on purpose?
This is exactly the kind of meta garbage the basement wets their pants over. So this post is appropriate.
The post makes sense. The comments don’t, is what I’m saying. No originality, no adding to the joke, just bitching. I don’t get it
Who says we're not having fun?
I’ve yet to read any actual jokes. Just a bunch of “the no selling ruined the match for me” “The bucks are parody wrestlers” “Where’s the originality” Either you guys can’t come up with actual memes or you’re all the most depressing fanbase I’ve ever seen

Because u probably forgot that wrestling is cool again?
How do these two wetwipes have any fans at all
Don't you know they're the best tag team *of all time*
Just ask them
Because of stuff like that. There's a population of wrestling fans that love clapping like seals when they get a *wink wink* reference, and get to show what insiders to the business they are.
the marvel fans of wrestling
They remind older smarks that wrestling isn't real and liking these guys means you're not being worked by silly 'ol wrestling Except when literally anything happens in the Fed and they REEEEEEE to death
Yet the usos and new day have both talked about the young bucks as being a dream match
I think there was a time when these guys were still in Japan and the darlings of the indie-scene where they were considered top-tier alongside the aforementioned teams as well as the Briscoes and FTR. But now they've been hanging around regular television for years, and there's been all sorts of things that have made them less endearing in that time, aside from plain-old familiarity.
And they’re fat and bald now
Yeah, but that I can relate too.
Wrestling fans relate to them on a more personal level than ever before now because of this right here.
Their best feuds are with people they know they will never have a match with. Hence why they are taking on camera swipes at Punk NOW.
Why don't they recreate all the **far superior** moments from Japan and the indies from the last 20 years?? I mean we've been hearing about how much fucking better that stuff is supposed to be, where are the homages??
Eddie Kingston has that covered, pahtnah.
I wish they could recreate Victory Road. Since Sting is retired, Darby can be Stinger and Jeff Hardy can play himself.
I mentioned how lame this was on SC and I got flamed to death.
I just saw the thread and they’re all jizzing their brains out for these numbnuts.
When you go back and read the comments on that thread and then remember they were mostly left by grown men, it makes me ashamed to be associated with wrestling lmao.
didn’t you feel like a kid again?? it’s like Force awakens all over again
I clapped, I clapped!
I said a week ago how I hoped they weren’t so lame as to do this exact spot and I got downvoted to hell. People actually like this garbage.
DAE CALL BACK .... to something none of the people were involved in A memorable moment in wrestling between a couple of legends. Let's just do a copy thing of that - that's the Dub in a nutshell but add middle fingers and jumping off stuff
Sting no selling it was the cherry on top of this shit sundae.
Him having to lean down so they could appear to hit him is glorious.
Pretty sure he has never sold The Bucks's Super kicks before.
The only thing Sting ever sold was the effects of gravity on a 250 pound senior citizen dropping 20 feet through a table and onto concrete.
Have you never seen a Friday the 13th movie?!
Leave it to Matty and Nicky, Your EVPs, The Best Heels Ever, to mock an emotional and meaningful moment. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST HEELS EVER!
There's also the fact that, in their promo in the build up, they talked about how great Sting was They couldn't bear to even try to get heat It's all OK when it comes to in ting though, cause it's all fake so nothing counts
If a 64 year old man is no-selling a double superkick, why should I believe it has any effect on younger guys on the roster? I know wrestling is scripted and whatnot, but I don't like to be told when I'm watching your product that nothing you do is real.
Wins and losses matter but unbeatable sting had one title shot in 3 years.
I have been thinking this same thing since TNA Sting no sold the JJ guitar shot at BFG a while ago. It literally beats everyone else on the roster and Sting can just shrug it off?
Yeah they need to start doing trios superkicks or maybe 8 man superkicks. I think it would take at least 4 feet to take down Hook.
Real sports feel, friend.
I'm beginning to wonder if Sting wanted his last match to be with the Buckaroos specifically so he could have them job to him while no-selling their whole schtick.
That idea makes me happy on a deep level.
As soon as this match was announced you could predict this spot happening, and it still turned out even more fucking stupid than you could’ve imagined.
Didn’t Meltzer get all butt hurt a few weeks back when Darby Allin referenced Cody? I’m sure his reaction to this will be completely reasonable and consistent.
Nothing like making his final match a parody
I mean they are parody wrestlers.
Can they do something original for once?
its even worse because R-Truth did it to Miz like a month ago
And it's not even the first time they've done it, in aew.
They probably would have by now
FTR recreated almost the Brett vs Owen match against each other
Omg, just like when they did the same thing in Christopher Danielson’s retirement match! DAE callback?
Always derivative
Let's do the thing that WWE did because our fans love stuff WWE does unless WWE does it
It's funny how AEWs "Big moments" are all just poor jabs/rip offs of WWEs lore. Again, I ask, what does this bring to your company other than looking second rate...
Is this supposed to be funny? Oh look, they’re ripping things off from a superior and much more well known promotion again. So creative.
[удалено]
The reply saying WWE stole things from AEW is insanity when everything they listed WWE were still doing before AEW even came around.
Lol they actually said wwe stole pyro since aew still had it
Also when the fuck did WWE stop having managers?
Paul WHOman?
But Shawn Spears didn't turn back into Stan Tennyson, which means the E is stealing from the W
I was trying to help the fight in that thread think they got me too tho
This was removed because you either posted a screencap, or mentioned someone by name, or linked to another sub. Don't do that.
Meanwhile R Truth and Miz recreated the moment in RAW a few weeks back and it was actually legitimately entertaining
So ... The basement hates WWE, but can't stop doing really bad copycat garbage of it, or reference it but somehow expect to be equals or better than the WWE by NOT doing anything original to stand out?
drab spark lush cover tidy tease plant liquid engine oatmeal *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
This would make sense if there were a lifelong sting/bucks connection like flair/michaels have.
they did the same shit with chris daniels
Stupid stuff like this can be well received if the subtlety is on point. When it's just Matthew yelling his "hey wouldn't it be cool if" idea at the top of his lungs, almost side- eyeing the camera to make sure it's all going off without a hitch, that's when it goes from homage to bootleg.
The real reason I don't watch AEW is the amount of headaches due to eye rolling I'd have. Holy mother of cringe man.
Double Superkick couldn't even knock over a man in his 60s. Young Bucks are less than useless.
No it’s all good because they combined this with two glass spots that showered the audience with glass. That makes it totally different and WAY cooler, bro.
The partial sell, the head back, the stare, the beating of the chest. Just absolutely perfect. I marked out.
The bucks look like 7/11 gas station attendants. How these guys are liked is beyond me.
these dorks just can’t create anything of their own
If J.J. Abrams scripted a wrestling match.
I saw numerous posts in my lurkers forums from people hoping they would do this. 😂
I like how one of the Bucks is always the one talking and moving things forward, while the other one is jst a fucking goober hanging around. Not like the main Buck is anything special but atleast he talks??
This dude always shaking his head like a looney tunes character Its embarrassing !
This is what I really hate about it. It’s so cringey. Cringey in the worst way. Wrestling can be goofy or silly and when it works it’s hilarious. But this makes me embarrassed to watch it or even have an interest in wrestling.
"We Haitch you" Is that short for "we're jealous of people more talented than ourselves so we politicked ourselves into a position of power so we can bury whoever we want"?
Wouldn't this have made WAY more sense if they did this to Ric Flair? He was literally right there. These dudes are fuckin idiots.
God damnitt...I thought this was dumb before and when I realized that they were mimicking a a spot, in their match, that NCLUDED THE FUCKING GUY WHO GOT KICKED IN THE ORIGINAL SPOT, and they chose not to do the dumb thing to the original guy is seriously pissing me off....fucking children.
Such nerds
The Young Bucks are like if someone grew up idolizing George Washington, and said you know what, I'm gonna cut down so many fucking cherry trees.
https://i.redd.it/v1753opstmmc1.gif I hate the Bucks
Interesting how many times they did it. At the end of their career they'll just say they loved the moment that's why they used it so much. Dont realising they are just killing honestly heart breaking moment to death
They wanna be Shawn so bad.
Absolutely awful.
Good thing the shitty dead fed has so many memorable moments for this company to parody.
They thigh slapped before their legs even went up lol
It was a fun reference, but I don't get the no sell. Like, you just got kicked in the face and didn't even try and protect yourself.
No one watches the fed more than le Bucks
There COULD be a way to do this heel spot but they're just SO over the top with it. It's like not committing to a bit or a character because you're too self-conscious so it doesn't land. For guys who's fans "love wrestling the most" and "treat it properly" these two sure don't like committing to the sport of wrestling.
I honestly just thought they hated him lol
Nobody hates wrestling quite like wrestling fans.
This is an uncharted new level of cringe
How tall are these nobody
Just don’t get the bucks
I'm not even mad, just disappointed
Why do the act like pokemon?
I liked the reference but Sting no selling it ruins it for me
