I'm sure I've made this comment before, but it's baffling to me that WWE stans always think people would be forced to watch WWE if AEW went under.

I'd just watch more puro & indies than I already do.

They somehow learned nothing from the deaths of WCW/ECW and completely forgotten that if AEW ever did go away a lot of it's viewers would simply stop watching wrestling entirely.

I wouldn't watch WWE, maybe keep watching some japanese wrestling (NJPW/DDT/STARDOM...) but less than I actually do.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Before there was an AEW I watched New Japan and indies. If AEW went away I would watch New Japan, Wrestle Universe promotions, and indies.

I guess I was watching AEW and NXT at the same time for a while, even though it doesn't feel like it, because I stopped watching NXT because of the Velveteen Dream thing, and that happened in 2020, it seems, and AEW started in 2019. So I guess I don't know what I would do, but I'm watching more Nooj right now, I'd like to get into Dragon Gate, hell, I could watch more DPW, there's a big world of wrestling out there.

I hit play on this expecting to just close the tab a few seconds in, but it was only 56 seconds long and he only "raps" for about 45 of those seconds.

First line is "ain't nothing worse than a wrestling fan" and, folks, where's the lie!

I'm literally watching my way through all of wrestling history and I'm still only in 1995 so there's already more content than I could ever hope to watch. AEW going under really doesn't change that much for me

I just wanted everyone else on Everything Beast to see the SNOB BE DISSIN graphic and we just ended up playing the whole thing on the show.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Moxley proving that all you need to do is blade and have heatless matches with underneath talent to impress the WON subscribers

Guy who had zero great matches, zero great feuds, zero great storylines, zero great moments, zero great segments and zero great promos =Wrestler of the loving Year 😂😂😂😂

IWC logic: Bleeding weekly > Being a mega draw villain in a run of a lifetime

Most of the results are just plain stupid


They are so mad that Roman Reigns wasn't acknowledged when he wasn't even the most over member of his own angle and stable, while Jon in AEWs worst year put the company on hisback when he should've been on holiday and just grinded to ensure the company survived its worst period. While the show around him struggled and most of the main event scene were injured or suspended or gone he loving worked his rear end off. But mah tribal chief.

You can tell they didn't watch the show because that match wasn't even close to competitive, and Moxley didn't bleed until Page came out afterwards.

I've always wondered why wrestling fans are so vitriolic. I just realised that they think they're "cutting a promo" when they go on weird rants like this, because deep down they dream of being wrestlers. Quite sad if you think about it
