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.
yeah but it's even funnier when they try and play someone up as a hometown hero in a large state when they're actually from over six hours away and you might as well be calling someone from arlington virginia a hometown hero while in NYC

I mean, yeah, every match last night had story implications, and in some cases multiple stories. Just a complete inability to process anything that happens between the bells as “story.”

They'd do the hard pivot to "WWE is bringing back wrasslin'! Old school!" so fast it could make your head spin.

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'd honestly be fine with that if they kept it to at most 90 minutes and brought in the most godforsaken jobber geeks they could find, like JCP-level bad. Studio wrestling could be a lot of fun but WWE would have to keep themselves from overproducing it and they can't do that.

If AEW was a real company they would hold massively overproduced press conferences where they try to fix their bad booking decisions. Instead they just focus on having the best wrestling product in North America. Sad.
