WWE did a special overrun of Smackdown to compete with Rampage, featuring a contract signing between Roman and Brock, while at the same time AEW had Ruby (Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby) Soho fighting the Bunny. They tied in the ratings.

AEW's women's division is consistently a draw now. Hayter and Anna Jay also did really well last week in the quarterly breakdowns.

- White guy only using "y'all" exclusively online

- Consistently putting the apostrophe in "y'all" in the wrong place

- Intentionally saying things he doesn't actually believe to try to make people mad in the most boring ways possible

I’d say most people here for example are mad/laughing about how piss-poor of a job WWE did with someone they were supposedly behind. It’s not specifically about Karrion Kross, really

I'm sure there's some absolute dullards out there who were genuine Kross fans, but his burial/firing is still pretty baffling considering he's the exact sort of bland-rear end big guy with a hot lady valet that you'd think Vince would be drooling over and yet he didn't even try with the guy

I'd argue a chunk of them started following AEW between the Dynamite Debut and 2.0 announcement. The rest either gave in to the brainworms/sports entertainment sepsis or go to bed before NXT airs for the early bird special.

This is the drawback of WWE having such a rigid homogenized style. When everyone is 6'3 with a good body then nobody stands out.

I want this guy to keep reaching harder and harder for the perfect metaphor but slowly degenerating into abstraction.

Leave the tweet thread alone for like 3 years and come back, and he'll be posting about how AEW fans are actually the third studio session rhythm guitarist for Deep Purple if you think about it.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Its kind of funny that he like directly connects Vince's generic fire nothing to his old coaches because like... that's all it is. You can repeat it by copying stuff you've learned from sports movies.

I don't blame Lee because he obviously had a passion and was at a career peak and all that stuff is designed to take advantage of that and manipulate him. Its also why I don't blame these wrestlers for trying to make the best of their situation or making excuses to themselves or playing ball. Its all designed to pry on their passion and hopes and ambitions. It works. That's why people call it a "cult". And you don't see what the cult is doing until you're removed from it or broken enough.

But the random fans buying into it? I'll never understand the stupid cult of personality around Vince McMahon. He isn't even particularly charismatic or anything. They just spent 30 years saying he was the father of wrestling and a generation or two bought in.
