Anyone who actually listens to WOR would notice this within 10 minutes of any Raw recap. Bryan loses his mind over some terrible segment, Dave shrugs and says it was fine, Bryan loses his mind again, this time at Dave, and Dave explains that okay yes it made no sense and was terrible but this is exactly what he expects from WWE by their standards it was in fact fine.

"Actually, WWE forcing comparisons of AEW to its weakest property and creating a steady year long winning narrative is good for WWE because otherwise AEW would have been compared to the shows that have higher ratings."

To be fair, there's plenty of stuff he watches but doesn't rate because less people care about it. I think CMLL is an example.

The other Japan section of the Observer is always riddled with weird errors and “well I heard this was good” which suggests that he doesn’t watch a whole lot of that stuff - I suspect if he was watching anything other than occasional Miyahara matches he’d comment on it a lot more

This is actually true because AEW doing weekly million plus viewers with their demos being that much closer to Raw (or beating it in 18-34) would make WWE look less valuable to networks in the long run. Their deals aren't up for years and won't even go into negotiations for nearly 3 years, but it won't help them to have AEW looking like a cheaper alternative which is more popular with younger viewers!

It would also lead to a lot of stock holder questions if the other show is doing 1.1 million viewers per week while Raw is doing 1.6 and the demos are close.

It's incredible that the Anti Crack Account and Real Suiter's brains are so broken that they think it is good that WWE is putting TV on just to cling to their monopoly and proving how unpopular their former hot, young, cool brand was.

I don't normally post anything like this, but don't know where else to ask this but I figured someone here might have an idea, so...put it in the thread about stupid poo poo:

One weird insult I've heard thrown out at/about me a bunch of times is something to the effect of "Bix just gets his stories from Reddit." I use Reddit so little that whatever the intent is, it's still made-up bullshit. Hell, even when I used Reddit more, I didn't use it often, and when I used it more regularly, it generally wasn't for wrestling stuff as much as some of the hyper-targeted communities like /r/vinyl, subreddits for specific smartphones, etc. But even if we just ignored that it's made-up bullshit...I don't have any earthly idea what it's supposed to mean? Even if we drop out the stuff with original reporting and go with the more opinion/analysis-focused stuff I did at Deadspin a good bit of the time, just to try to make sense out of it...I still don't know what that means? That they think I saw a headline on Reddit and used it for inspiration? That there was a comment thread (aggregated in a text post?) that...investigated something, I guess? I just can't wrap my head around what it can even mean, which makes it even stupider.

Most troll bullshit is just annoying for me at this point. This is just confusing.

I think it's because you do more investigative style reports, especially on whatever the current wrestling words controversy is or whatever people are talking about. So to a hostile idiot that just becomes "oh look, Bix is just bitching about the same thing reddit is."

I also like how he bakes in the assumption that NJPW's main audience and the targets of Gedo's booking are internet smarks and not, you know, the legions of Japanese fans who almost certainly have zero idea of who Pollyanna even is. It's like some kinda weird neo-orientalism except about grapsmen doing the fake fights.
