Acknowledge him

I've started saying "ACKNOWLEDGE ME!" to all the animals I encounter in my day to day travails. For ages I didn't get a single acknowledgement, until the other day. A little bird looked up and chirped at me, then, out of nowhere, a local ginger kitty beloved by all in the estate hit me with a chair. Suddenly all the animals were screaming around me.

When I told this to the doctors as they treated me for a concussion they muttered something about, "Fed brain." I still don't know what this means.

I'm staying with my family while I recover. They had some "nice" "pictures" of birds, and cats and that, hanging up around the house. I always thought they looked suspicious. They've taken them down out of respect for my position. I know I am The King.

I just like the idea of the young upstart nearly 40-year old Cody Rhodes being "too inexperienced" to win a title match in 2023.

Honestly they should have sent this Cody kid to NXT so he could learn to work first. Probably why he broke his titty so bad.

Moment he stops working for the same company the titty master works for his titty busts up. Coincidence?

If Jericho had a hotel room paid for then maybe hed have left the title there instead of driving around with it and getting it stolen

I really like Cody as a wrestler and really dislike Roman as a wrestler, but if you're not rooting for Cody to eat that Spear and take that 1-2-3, I dunno what you're doing here.

I don't mind fans taking an interest in ticket sales/ratings etc., but it annoys me how so much of online discussion around wrestling is nerds pretending to be expert promoters. In particular I hate when they poo poo on wrestlers for "not being a draw" etc.

it's only fair to blame that on the 'smarty smarty clubs' created by the likes of dave meltzer, wade keller, dave scherer, and bryan alvarez. they made it the fans' business to feel informed about who was a draw and things of that nature. they armed the public with the tools. but are they tools or weapons? It's a big gun. Draw!

Roman Reigns isn't a draw brother. Let's get this The Bunny in, now she's the real needle mover

Joke aside it is such a pointless topic of discussion, not to mention there's no actual goal. Oh they don't hit a million, OK, cool, are they meeting their goals? Are they selling merch? Selling out shows? They've had multiple papes in a row beat their own goals, that's good enough for them, so that's end of story.

Wait I forgot Big Hug Tony is lying and it's plants and papered tickets and all the merch is given away for free or something.

MJF has done some external things (like the Impractical Jokers ep) and honestly having him do more as time permits wouldnt be a bad idea but building awareness does take time. (Also WWE does have a few ins in that SNL is NBC/Universal who own USA, and the relationship between those two goes back to Ebersol producing SNME as a fill in.)

Also, MJF is a heel, you wouldn't expect him to be a big media friendly babyface draw. You'd expect that of whoever beats him. Jack Perry is the perfect guy to have do a big media tour, but I'm not sure that makes him the right choice overall.

It's also pretending like MJF's tweet from the ancient feud with Cutler doesn't still pop up. I think Matt Mercer falling for his gimmick gets way more of the eyeballs they'd hope to attract to AEW than a short segment on a late night talk show.
