I am entirely convinced that Jobber doesn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. It's not that he's saying things he knows to be untrue, it's that he's just saying any old poo poo for engagement.

Yeah that framing just feels like cheap engagement fishing, especially with the ending.
All the really bad engagement bait ends with "do you agree?" or "discuss" these days.

Yeah the most annoying part is those engagement bait FB pages almost all have multiple admins who post as the page not their main accounts, so you'll even see the page argue with itself in the comments or just back to back contradictory hot takes on your feed from the same page.

Alfred Konuwa was once sent a "dope rear end" charcuterie board (his words) by the WWE because they thought his articles for Forbes meant he was a distinguished writer or something.

a Cagematch review of the N-1 final posted:

It reminded me of a parody of the American classics for most of the match, which they are trying to sell to the audience, expecting a fierce slaughter from two of the most status wrestlers of the promotion, who went through hell to be in the finals. I say "parody" because it didn't catch at all and had no charm, they were still Japanese wrestlers who slowly moved towards each other, and didn't hide at all that this part doesn't matter at all, and when they need to advance to the finals, they will just leave it, pulling out their typical things starting to play already on them. I think I've explained enough why most of the match was a complete failure for me, and why I watched it without feeling anything. When they moved on to the big moves, I still didn't feel that this was the final of the tournament, the physical interactions were soft, the moves weren't serious with a minimum of impact, it was like I watched Ibushi and Naito's match at Wrestle Kingdom once again, but a less impressive version, at least because of the lack of charm. Less than three minutes later, they started making their finishers, returning to the "hard" strikes, when an attempt to finish the match ahead of time failed. Kenoh hits painfully, and Shiozaki, with the face of a man who doesn't know what he has forgotten here, endured, then losing his strength, then restoring them again, before winning in the most random and unimpressive way. Everything was bad here, starting from the acting of these two, ending with the script of this match as a whole, where it was clear that according to their plan, the audience was obliged to yell after each of their movements, but they were just bored, like me. This rating, of course, leads me into endless perplexity, although it makes me laugh to think that this rating is higher than any Muto's match since 2001, although if Muto had shown such a match, it would have been the lowest-rated big match in the new history of NOAH, but since Shiozaki and Kenoh are young, they are forgiven for everything, pretending that it's not all the consequences of either limitation or lack of imagination, but this is the plan, and the match is at least good, and not an empty and boring gum. Shiozaki, in my opinion, is in a really disgusting form, I have not liked any of his matches since his return, and instead of trying to use his other advantages, or reinventing them, he tries to follow the old scenario, looking absolutely unimpressive, and here it reached its peak. In fact, this is probably one of the worst matches I've seen. It's still not an Omega-Swann level disaster, but I feel about the same (-*).

A 20 year veteran with exactly zero matches I can remember or worth remembering. This doesn't matter to the idiots saying it though because the wrestling isn't important to being a wrestler and they'll umironically compare Miz to Hulk Hogan
