There wasn't a single good IWGP Heavyweight Championship match in 2020 after January 5th and that is almost entirely due to the booking.

Like. Shingo's great, but, you can only dance around the absolute dumpster fire the main events were for so long. And things didn't exactly go back to a high standard once WK15 was over.

Naito vs KENTA was good and I thought the match where Naito regained the belt was very good.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The replies to that opening twitter post is a smorgasbord of Cornette listeners begging for wrestling to die.

I think you're pretty on point. It definitely revels in the "lol you like anything foreign" mentality instead of celebrating culture. Especially when instantly writing off anything Japanese as weeb poo poo.

Babymetal also had a pretty good run on late night talk shows a few years back, and in a wrestling context NXT even used one of their songs for a PPV. So I guess HHH is a sad weeb too.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Just more proof that these people don’t actually watch the shows or do the slightest research. They probably just looked at the promo graphic and decided who “looked tough”

What do they like, though? Most of them don’t like WWE, or even watch NJPW. I don’t see them posting about the indies. A lot of what they hate about AEW was super common in WCW and Mid-South and Memphis.

I really don’t think this is about AEW not matching their vision of wrestling anymore. It’s just pure hate-entertainment now.

I've said before but they're clip watching wrestling nihilists. They don't think wrestling will ever be good or popular again.

I think part of it might be latent Vince mentality, where wrestling is deeply embarrassing and shameful for them to be following but they still want the legitimacy of it being mega-popular like it was during the Monday Night Wars.

The clip watching is the equivalent of getting all your news from those twitter accounts that just repost extremely bad takes from pundits and no audience youtubers or watching just the Daily Show or Tucker Carlson.

It's completely unreflective of the majority of what's around but the reaction is pre-packaged for you and it's more emotionally stimulating and fun than doing your own work.
