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.

I always love those notion that just being in another wrestler company is going to somehow ruin a wrestlers career. Like do they really think WWE would go "Oh eww you were in AEW? No THANKS"

It's not so far-fetched when you remember from 2000 til about mid 2010 this was WWEs attitude to all wrestling to the point that it was a cosmic joke that WWE didn't use the indies to scout talent and instead would only take wrestlers from in house and if they would pick up an indie person would always treat them as something to be abused and mistreated even when they were so talented they got over. CM Punk and Bryan Danielson most notoriously.

I had to double take at the tweet because I at first thought he meant Sting and Darby beating Starks and Bill, but then thought that he meant the Young Bucks beating Sting and Darby.

Now I realise he meant Sting's kids because Sting isn't young and Darby isn't tall and jacked, but it's still a dumb take because the ending was solid.

Those young muscular handsome stingers are not trained wrestlers, how could they possibly hope to stand against an expertly qualified, highly trained tag team that has established themselves as some of the best wrestlers in the world, what with their number of title reigns

This kinda rules because it shows tribalism in action.

"Oh, Kamille is going to WWE? She's great, that's awesome!"

"Actually now it looks like sh'es going to AEW."

"Well she kinda sucks, no wonder WWE wasn't interested."

"Actually she was just visiting a friend."

"drat, that's bad for AEW, can't wait to see her in WWE!"

WWE is a big family. A big family that has a bunch of relatives that nobody should leave their kids unsupervised around.

People can be tribal about things. People often have strong attachments to their home towns. It's why you get more Chicago Bears fans in Chicago than you do in San Francisco despite the fact that you can watch all the games either of them play on TV.

People like the story of someone from their town or city or state or country doing well and coming back home.

CM Punk gets an over the top reaction in Chicago, more so than he does in other places. Will Ospreag got a ridiculous reaction at Wembley because while he's not from London he's still an english boy done good.

Sasha grew up in Boston. She trained as a wrestler with a promotion in the Boston suburbs. She is billed as being from Boston. She is going to get a disproportionate reaction walking out in Boston.

Boston is a world class city unlike Vegas, the mobs irrigation project in the desert, and Chicago which is landlocked and impossible to be world class. Keep hating losers :wrongcity:

Every morning I get up early, head out to town and ask people what they think about current pro wrestling story lines. I think it is important to catch whatever vibe is brewing organically in society. The through-line that seems to unite all the opinions I hear, whether it is pro or anti whichever promotion, is that people don't really want to talk to me.
