Is it controversial for me to call Girloncinema a grifter for opening an OnlyFans? I still think she's a step away from opening up a dogwhistle patreon so she can talk about her unbias opinions without being harassed (for having dumb opinions and pandering to the right-wing and anti AEW fans)

It’s not controversial because she’s dumb as gently caress and an easy target. Go nuts

I don't think it's controversial, especially because her grift is progressing the way a bunch of people predicted.

Just for fun, I went through the roster on the AEW site and I think it's about 21%. This is being generous and counting people like Trent and Matt Sydal who were technically in WWE at one point but didn't come directly from there. If you went with people who came directly from WWE, it'd be even lower.

Elias was cool for approximately the 400 milliseconds Braun was braining him with a double bass, and during the Supersonics joke. At all other times he was cringe.

Yeah, if you count everyone who was ever on WWE TV, it's 26-28 out of like 110. But that includes like... Colt and Lance Archer

How do you know that? You don't. Maybe AEW put tickets on resale sites as a modern day way of "papering" the town? They want a full building, so I can see them holding back on a percentage of tickets sold on TicketMaster to sell these themselves in order to ensure a bigger crowd.

Dude no ticket reseller that wants to stay in business is going to take a significant amount of comps to move on an event no matter how hot it is. People study this poo poo like stock markets and take extremely conservative risks.

I wouldn't call that a bad opinion or take, Emi's had issues connecting with American audiences and a straight clear as glass character would help a lot. Her heel Queen Emi worked in the torunament as well ti wasn't in front of a crowd and the sycophantism worked easy, whereas over here this is peoples first exposure to her (she hasn't been live on AEW outside of youtube since 2019).

She can be a smiling goof to the ring and then just stiff the poo poo out of her opponents like the second coming of Aja Kong and everyone would understand it immediately. When fans can't work out if they're supposed to cheer or boo they have no reaction which is the worst reaction.

They totally can.
But that's not a bad take, there were a lot of problems with how Emi was portrayed initially in AEW. Not sure if the exact thing described in that tweet happened excactly like this, I don't remember. But I do remember finding it weird that she ping-ponged so hard between typical face and heel mannerisms.

I get that in japanese wrestling doesn't have the same face/heel dynamic as western wrestling and it's handled differently, but Emi in AEW was a bit weird.
