I love how fans of the products somehow don't count as much as people who buy tickets but are also not fans of the product. Yeah I know Maria Carey sold out the stadium but how many of them hate her as a performer?

Even if by some random stroke of fate 14,000 pasty white mid30s cishet dudes bought all those tickets in 40 minutes, they still sold 14,000 tickets in 40 minutes.

It sucks for AEW that male nerd money is only worth 60 cents on the dollar due to nerd germs.

The two places in the world with scalpers, New York and Chicago. AEW should run Idaho - no scalpers there!

Wow I bet FTR are dying to get back to the WWE for 1:50 squash matches!

And hey, remember when Bald FTR recently mentioned having a talk about his anxieties with HBK, who seemed supportive, until he was in the company of his old Kliq buddies and was suddenly all like "look at that nerd with his feelings and stuff" and they all laughed at him (except apparently Waltman, who was mortified)?

You know, just in case that lovely squash match didn't leave a sour enough taste in your mouth already.

They used to pay you a flat monthly rate as long as you put up a certain number of articles (I think it was 5??). Then they restructured and now you get paid per article and it started out poo poo and has gone down if the stories are to be believed. I haven't done anything for them in at least a decade and literally no one I know in the business has either. Of course there's also a bafflingly huge amount of people who write for free for them and I don't know how that works because if you do it you are loving Stupid.

I have no idea who Ben Verlander is but is he some sort of failson like Satin who had a similar path through life?


If that's his free advice I don't want to see what he charges for.
