My wife thought that too! She saw Sky Blue's gear and was like did she take his trunks? I said it was the flag and she was like but it looks like it's designed just like his. I said that's because his gear is just the flag. He made no changes either.

Excited for Punk Truthers to follow the Q Anon lead and begin saying that Punk is actually still booking Collision (but not Dynamite) but if there's anything you don't like on Collision it's because that part was booked by somebody else.

I always thought that wrestling and sports fans were crazy but since I read this thread (fortunately I've been oblivious to the IWC my entire life until SA threads like this), now I think wrestling fans are truly the weirdest, crazier and insane of anything so far.

Just bringing up the trivia that 'fan' was originally short for fanatic, and used derisively to describe the bsseball weirdos who would memorize player statistics and get into brawls at games over 100 years ago. So sports fans have a lineage of being weird and unhealthy about this stuff.

I've gone to a couple of comic cons, there are weird fans for everything but I think wrestling fans are a special breed.

Moxley was at a local convention during the first Punk suspension and these 3 weirdos kept asking him questions about it. He got noticeably annoyed but still signed all their stuff, then they walked off and said it was a ripoff because he didn't answer his questions. Those 3 guys definitely have twitter accounts and a lotta opinions to share with the world, no doubt about it.

On the other hand I also witnessed a guy ask Tom Felton to read his fanfiction full of hardcore sex, critique it, and then work with him on trying to sell it to a major publisher. He was 100% serious (I think) but at least when Felton told him he couldn't do it, the guy was just kinda like "oh, okay, thanks anyway" instead of getting angry.

It's really just a minority of fans that are this stupid. I'm actually quite amazed at how wrestling fans in general have matured a certain degree in the last 25 years. Just look at the positive reaction that Anthony Bowens got when he told Harley Cameron that he's gay

I went to a live indie show this past Friday and I didn't see or hear any weird poo poo from people. Since I'm in Chicago there were a lot of people talking about Punk (this was the day before he was fired) but nobody was spouting deranged nonsense and being weird like the stuff posted itt

The people that actually believe all the poo poo Punk and Cornette say are just a loud minority on the internet where they don't have to deal with any meaningful pushback

I know this is a totally tangential to both your post and the point of the article, but since you posted it, I clicked through and read it, and Bully Ray saying "When Rodman left, the team got worse. When he left Chicago, they got worse." is so funny because I cannot think of a single example in all of sports that would be worse than that one lol (Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman left the Bulls in the same offseason! it was famously the end of the Bulls dynasty! they did not simply get worse because Dennis Rodman left!)

You can't prove it wasn't Rodman. Maybe losing the greatest basketballs man that has ever lived would've made the team stronger if Rodman had stayed.

What a wonderful moment that was. Wrestling fans are huge weirdos but that exists in every sports fandom and honestly a lot of them are worse. If a football player had said what Bowens did, those fans would have thrown batteries at him.

It wasn't just Rodman (and Jordan), the GM also fired Phil Jackson and traded away Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, and other folks. They basically dismantled the team because the office was tired of Phil Jackson and decided the team was 'getting too old'. Rodman for his part sort of bounced around not being very good for the remainder of his career, which may in fact be a good metaphor for Punk, and also a good metaphor for AEW in the event that they decide to fire Tony Khan, MJF, Kenny Omega, etc. in the off-season.

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.
