Well to be fair the actual tweet is "Just found out The Internet thinks I tried to start a KENTA chant at NXT. I have never been so offended by Me-Related Gossip in all my life." He's hardly wallowing in self-pity here.

He also helps run a promotion, so it's not like Uproxx is the only thing he does. But then I don't get the hate for Stroud so what do I know.

I don't hate the guy, he's just a smug dude who posts dumb poo poo about wrestling on the internet like the rest of us.

I actually liked Stroud until I realized just how stubborn he is to what he thinks is "right." Like, it's even remarkable for a wrestling fan, especially one who likes to act like he's a totally reasonable guy. I remember he said no one should like the Bullet Club all that much because AJ Styles was in it, seemingly not understanding just how much AJ was killing it all summer. I still read his Raw columns on occasion, because I rarely watch Raw nowadays, but his personality is very offputting.

That's the weirdest thing I've heard in a while. Doesn't he know AJ is super popular? The one time he showed up at a local indie here, they had the biggest crowd I've seen. The fed wasn't prepared for it at all, apparently they did really big walk up business that day.

I actually replied "AJ Styles is arguably the best in-ring lately" and he replied "Bullshit."

He probably holds AJ's personal politics against him. I mean, people here have mocked AJ for his views as well, but I doubt any of us would claim he wasn't a drat good wrestler.

AJ's opinion on gays is loving atrocious, but who cares? He doesn't go around spewing his hatred, at least not to my knowledge. He can have his lovely opinions as long as he isn't spreading them all over. If I get more matches like the one with Suzuki, he can believe whatever he wants.

Just to play devil's advocate, he does frequently say "human being" as an exclamation of pain when he's in the ring. There was a big to-do about it when he did it while wrestling CIMA for ROH years ago.

Has he done that lately? I watch a lot of his NJPW stuff and I haven't noticed. If he has, shame on him. Although, it'll still be hard for me to dislike his work. Because it's so drat good.

Not that I've noticed. It was a habit for a while though. I remember him doing it WAY back when he was in NWA Wildside, as well.

If we're playing devil's advocate, if any of us actually cared about morals of wrestlers we would have stopped watching long ago.

to be fair, Stroud did acknowledge the legitimacy way before then. But for like 3 months he thought it was a storyline.

I feel like a terrible person but this is so absurd I almost find it funny. Like not if he's yelling it at the person beating him up, but like, would he stub his toe in the privacy of his own home with no one around and scream that word instead of just going, "AGH poo poo!" or something?

It is fairly ridiculous. I laughed too, but man, I remember a pretty nasty debate on what I remember as DVDVR (It was during ROH's first few years so I may be remembering the place the argument happened wrong) about it.

Basically, and his tone was essentially more of 'Alright this is probably real, but it can just as likely be a work', which at the time wasn't exactly an unreasonable opinion.

I think at least a few people said it was the only curse he felt comfortable using for a while in the early-2000s.

lol, when the only curse you feel comfortable using is the slur for an entire demographic, that speaks volumes. Still, AJ 4 lyfe, Bullet Club, It's Real, yadda yadda.
