here come the planes
imo the biggest facet of those hurricane tweets is how he summarizes 'reporting on wwe's releases and how badly the wrestlers were mistreated' as 'constantly being negative about wrestling'

you know, because there's no reporting anywhere in those sites about positive things happening to wrestlers behind the scenes. it's not about wwe so it's not about wrestling, clearly

It's just such an extremely Wrestling Bubble mindset when you go off about "knowing the behind-the-scenes ruins the fan experience," as if there wasn't an entire generation of movie fans who grew up with DVD commentaries and podcasts and became even more passionate about the craft as a result. I know firsthand people who watched all those Lord of the Rings DVD extras that are longer than the actual movies and were inspired to become filmmakers themselves. Nobody ever dismissed the film business as fake or unrealistic just because they learned how Peter Jackson used forced perspective to make the hobbit actors look smaller than they really are.

It's all insecure bullshit from old wrestlers who can't admit that the business has passed them by.

In the 80s they used to just put,"The making of <x>" shows on television that were all about how whatever the most recent hit blockbuster was made because people ate (and continue to eat) that stuff up, people love to see behind the scenes featurettes, making ofs etc and probably always will.

MTV aired a The Making of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' short film about the music video and people ate it up.

The internet blew the business wide open in like 1997 and it didn't kill the industry. It's still right here even after the Monday Night Wars ended.

This also completely exposes all the old guys as never having cared about kayfabe and protecting the industry. They're just mad that they're no longer part of a special exclusive club with special exclusive lingo that only they can use.

I literally forgot that storyline because the bigger deal was during that reign he was not once placed as the main event. John Cena v Johnny Ace main evented over CM Punk v Bryan Danielson for the belt.

Do they really think AEW fans give a poo poo about Roman Reigns at this point? I barely follow WWE anymore and as far as I can tell he's just been doing the same boring poo poo week after week and people are acting like it's the greatest championship run in the history of wrestling

Its like that few years where it was said Jay Lethal was the greatest ROH champion ever during his reign. No one really went out of their way to see it and once it ended everyone went back to debating Joe, Danielson and McGuinness with no one thinking of Lethal. Reigns may be having the best reign ever but, like Punk's, circumstances outside their control means it will have no legacy or longevity.

roman's title reign should have 1000% just ended with that Balor match. Most of the interesting matchups he could have had are now gone/released and he's already beaten everyone---KO was another guy who should have been a guy to dethrone him and then he lost in the stupidest way possible next to Balor's clumsy tripup. Brock/Rock doesn't interest me at all and there's just nobody left sans like, Pete Dunne (if they ever pulled that trigger) who would benefit from beating him.

My guess is they'll just have him hold the title permanently until Gable Steveson or Bron Breakker is called up and then they'll immediately beat him in the most unsatisfying way possible and then he'll probably just win the title back from them later the same week for HEEEEAAATTT

Nice logo, circa 2003 college bro t-shirt.

The self-importance of these people never ceases to amaze me. Does he not realize that people can just not listen to his podcast? Does he actually think he's far reaching in any way? Does he think people are going to tune in in droves just to participate in their own one-sided abuse?

all i'll ever need to know about roman reigns is that he couldn't outdraw the bunny. they can have him break sammartino's record and it'll still be "yeah, but he couldn't outdraw the bunny"
