I hope we never get League characters because holy crap all these non-caps babies in the chat. No one wants to hear your neckbearded thoughts on MOBAs, chat. Jeez.

Also, man the Kratos CAW is actually looks really good.

Good stuff. SNS mentioned in his preview post that a lot of the CAWs were made by other people, too, so it's good to see there's so much talent putting content out for VGCW.

I want Kratos back.

It's a really good CAW, seems like a pretty strong wrestler and people would get hella salty about it. Plus the angle with him coming back after climbing out of Hades on a mission to destroy the VGCW would be a great heel storyline.

Bazza really needs to not drop people who get x-pac heat and instead put 'em in some story stuff to get proper heel heat.

The problems with this is that VGCW is the kind of thing that attracts a certain kind of fan in large numbers. These fans, due to very poor social skills, absorbs their entertainment so thoroughly that they take anything they don't like as a personal attack against themselves, and again, due to lack of social skills and the invisibility of the Internet, they take out their frustration/anger on the show runners, Ie Bazza. Since Bazza doesn't have the things that the actual WWE does to offset this (mainly making money via ticket/PPV/merchandise sales), instead occasionally getting donations, tolerating this kind of behavior is a LOT harder, especially when it gets to Barkley levels and we have people harassing him on Twitter for stuff that's out of his control and that he devotes time and effort to making. Ergo, the best way is to just avoid it entirely.

So yeah, that's the problem with chat salt. Too many assholes take the drat salt too drat seriously, and unless we ruthlessly police ourselves, this sort of poo poo is just best avoided entirely.

Better to acknowledge the issue now then a theorized future when Bazza tries to bring Kratos back (or Bryn tries to bring in Jinx) and we end up with Barkley 2 because too many people act like the stupid fake video game wrestling somehow affects them in real life.
