I imagine these people stay in dead end jobs they hate for years just so they won't be seen as "traders".

w/r/t that Miz promo, I did like it at the time, and I loved what they did with Miz's character after that, but in hindsight I can agree that the entire substance of the promo is corporate bootlicking and wanting to play it safe so he can collect a paycheck at the end of the day granted, that promo led directly to the best match of Miz's career (and with Dolph Ziggler, no less), and for a few months he was honestly one of the hottest wrestlers in the US, but within the year he went back to wrestling his usual safe and boring style, which I guess paid off for him as he beat Drew for the belt in that MITB cash-in match earlier in the year lmao, but it doesn't really make him a good wrestler now. I remember seeing Miz wrestling Mox at a PPV a year or so after the Ziggler feud, and I was just so disappointed that Miz was so bloody boring now. I remember a few years ago that Minoru Suzuki did an interview where he criticised modern wrestlers for being fans before actually being wrestlers, and they're not actually fighting to protect their commercial value and make more money. If you don't think it"s all about the money, then you're not actually earning any, and you might as well be working for free. Minoru Suzuki posted:"There is one thing about Japanese wrestling lately that so many wrestlers were just fans first,” Suzuki said. “You don’t get what I’m saying, do you? They’re making money because of who they learned from. That shouldn’t matter. And yes, this is a carny mentality, but it's also the exact opposite of The Miz saying 'I made all this money by sucking up to the big boss, doing everything by the book, and being the blandest sports entertainer in the world', and I can respect it so much more because of that. Minoru Suzuki is in it because he likes beating people up, not because he wants to make NJPW look good. In contrast, without WWE, Michael Mizanin would basically be nothing, because he personifies that whole mentality of 'the brand matters more than me, and I am willing to look like a stupid idiot fucker in front of the fans as long as I keep the WWE looking good'.

the best part about all these "but every morning I wake up to abuse and negative comments" is that with a 3rd party twitter app, like Tweetbot you can pull up a chronological list of all the @ that account has received. Usually there's nothing there until after the crying foul tweet. Sometimes they really are put upon tho. but its usually "delete your account, go away you stink"

The goalposts will always move. It reminds me a lot of lib twitter, frankly. And I guarantee that guy who wrote a novel about the cage match tactical realism loves Jim Cornette's pod.

In the end it's just the same tired poo poo of people wanting to be worked like when they were young and dumb and applying selective scrutiny to things and having an arbitrary point on the "believability" meter where wrestling is acceptable even though deep down inside they know no matter how hard they believe they will never get worked like when they were a dumbass child and if they stopped caring they could just appreciate cool moves and dudes actually kicking the poo poo out of eachother.

Man, there are probably at least 20 people in WWE right now who would love to be told "if you want to talk to your friends in AEW, let us know and we'll give you a free and clear release right now! that'll teach you!"

Looking at this guy's other tweets, I don't think he's calling Cole a traitor for leaving WWE but for kicking Jungle Boy instead. He seems like an excited fan who genuinely enjoyed the show and tweeted his thoughts. The other two definitely belong in here.

It still belongs because Adam Cole is a loyal friend who forgave The Elite for poisoning him so he isn't a trator.
