Commercial success? Kenny Omega?

Some WWE fans really only watch WWE it seems.

Tattoos? On MY black quarterback?
I kind of agree with him there, but Kenny needs to prove that he can be a commercial success specifically to a group of people that doesn't really like wrestling. If he can't capture that audience then about 2/3 of WWE's viewing audience just wouldn't give a poo poo.

a wrestler has to prove to me that people who aren't me will want to buy his merch before I feel that he's good

My favorite part of the tweet is

quote:

but I defo see him at least at a Kevin Owens/AJ Styles level when he comes in

It's the *when* for me. It's not an if, but a when Kenny Omega comes to WWE.

I know it's never say never in wrestling but I can't imagine Omega and the Bucks going to WWE unless it's retirement tour poo poo like Sting and Goldberg (who then refused to retire anyway) when they're about to hang it up. Could be wrong, though!

Obligatory 3 month Miz feud, then we'll see how the fans really take to him.

tbh I really like the idea of the Elite becoming the biggest North American wrestlers to never have signed a contract with the Fed, and I suspect that they do too, not least since AEW is becoming a viable alternative to WWE at this point

idk what they'd have to gain from a Fed run beyond the instant adoration of all the WWE stans out there, and I can't imagine they want that when they already have a solid fanbase in AEW and, to a lesser extent, NJPW

but w/e, I'm not them, so maybe I'm completely off the mark here and we'll be seeing The WWElite sooner rather than later

yea ok

This comes via the oldest social media - the telephone - my brother in law told my wife he can't get into aew because there's no stories and he doesn't know who anyone is. He then said he doesn't get this from online which is a weird thing to say. Especially since as I told my wife that's the take I see from wwe fans who specifically hate AEW for existing the most.

I can't stress enough how badass/hilarious it was the first time seeing Jericho as a fat insane juggalo beating the piss out of Naito, so I'll always be a fan of the gimmick

I can’t tell if Jericho thinks the Painmaker makeup is actually good and cool or if he’s in on the joke and, frankly, I do not care. It’s so dumb and I love it. And his little hat.

At least wait until it’s one of the ill-advised times MRT insists on rolling around in the poop instead of just posting it before you try a call out

The whole point of the thread is making fun of dumb wrestling fan opinions from social media/places that aren't here

If anything's bad, it's the times people will post just straight up bigotry from them, and if anything's weird it's the times people will post dumb ex-talent opinions. Like yeah of course Dutch Mantell and C*rnette suck, they were that way on-screen and they still are off-screen; I don't think they're suddenly fans just because they're now off-screen though

In fairness to MRT, his pokes usually causes the other person to go off on a 15 tweet thread about why their horrible take is good, actually and it's some funny poo poo.

Or he pokes something into existence that trolls a lot of people for months (if not years) like the AEW invoice for instance which is very funny especially considering how obviously fake it is.
