It's true, I remember when New Japan used CIMA last year I had to watch 20 years of Toryumon, Dragongate & GLEAT to understand the lore of the Meteora

Side comment: when CIMA had his first AEW match back in the day, someone in the watch thread made a comment like “there’s people in the thread who haven’t seen a CIMA match before. They’re in for a treat.”

And that was enough background.

yeah a lot of AEW newcomers/drop ins can be easily explained to people with "this person is really good at wrestling"

I think it makes sense in a fictional sport for the fictional competitors to sometimes appear in other promotions tbh, and you don't need an explanation other than "they're a competitor from another promotion". The 60 year old podcasters who take issue with this would be the first ones to cry and moan if someone they're a fanboy of had to be re-branded and re-introduced in another promotion, like Cornette did with Terry Funk. But because it's someone they personally don't know: "WHAT THE HELL, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO FOLLOW WHAT'S GOING ON, I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE"

It’s okay though, he finds the barbed wire room and feels right at home.

Nah this is lame and corny as hell. Lol at everyone in the comments assuming the kid will look back afterwards and think this was the coolest thing that ever happened to him. That kid wasn’t standing up and booing MJF in his face or anything he was literally just sitting there and got water thrown all over him. The mom has every right to be pissed if they are. Idc if he’s being a heel, the performers shouldn’t physically interact with the fans especially not like this. If a random fan threw water at MJF from the stands everyone would be calling for that fans head as disrespectful so it should work both ways.

Yes because no one has thrown water on MJF from the stands before. Never ever.

I'm pretty sure there's two possibilities with that cup of water spot:

1) It was staged and everyone was in on it.
2) If it wasn't, they probably got that kid some free merch and took him backstage to meet his favorite wrestlers

It sounds like 2 is correct. Wil Washington bought the kid some Acclaimed foam fingers and Amanda Huber went and sat with him and then took him backstage.
