One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Calling it now: Cody pins Reigns after the Rock hits him with the Rock Bottom.

And then the decision gets reversed the next night on Raw. Reddit goes wild as Cody not only finished the story but had a dusty finish.

I don’t think anyone with any sense is laughing about the bad booking with the intention of then following through and supporting the company by watching the show

I will laugh at the online clips and posts on this forum, that's about it.

Times are not as edgy as they used to be, but we are plagued more than ever by irony-poisoning. That can be dangerous when paired with media illiteracy.

I think what grinds people's gears is the very real danger that laughing at WWE's lovely booking without constantly acknowledging their evil poo poo will lead to fans genuinely liking WWE "ironically" in a so-trashy/bad-it's-good kind of way. Like if the Weinsteins started producing The Asylum level schlock and people praising the new Five-Headed Shart Attack without even thinking of the rapist cutthroats behind the film.

Also, the whole "it'd be like if the Weinstein Brothers started producing The Asylum-level films" comparison doesn't really work, considering Harvey Weinstein's in prison and The Weinstein Company went bankrupt shortly after he was convicted; so I don't think he or his brother are gonna be producing films anytime soon.

Sydney Bottocks posted:

And most of those were either trolls who mysteriously made their first "Stand Up For WWE" posts shortly after the rest of PSP were expressing their righteous indignation and saying WWE needed to die, or the few remaining diehard WWE stans that are the exception here rather than the rule. I'm pretty confident that PSP talking about how stupid WWE's booking is, while also discussing Vince and his many literal crimes, isn't going to foster a wave of people who want to watch WWE "ironically" or whatever.

I think even the rare posters who actually follow WWE here are far from the "diehard stans" you'd find on Twitter or wherever. I know there's one person who sort of keeps up with it mostly because they're a teacher and it gives them something to talk about with students who might otherwise struggle to come out of their shell. I have sympathy for that because I've taught kids who struggle to express themselves too. I've never had a WWE student but I've had quite a few who were big into Minecraft; I've never played it myself but it was useful to learn a few things about it to help a lesson go a bit more smoothly. If I had opened things up by telling them that the guy who made Minecraft was a terrible person (which he is), they probably would have been even less interested in listening to me and learning, especially if they were on the spectrum, as some of them almost certainly were.

I'm definitely not justifying anything to do with WWE - gently caress 'em - but I think the amount of actual WWE fans on this forum is very small and some folks have different considerations.

The entire point is that constantly doing the virtue signaling to each other over and over in a circle jerk doesn't accomplish anything. This is a forum in 2024 for talking about wrestling. A niche of a niche. Either post or don't post about dumb WWE. But to try and police others opinions or posts about anything is dumb and cringe as hell. For some of you we know it's just a thinly veiled " gently caress Vince he don't do the wrestling like the good guys at AEW!" "Stop having fun during WrestleMania season, Vince bad! Upvotes to the left!"

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
Another funny aspect of this whole Cody nonsense is it's a perfect example of WWE's weird pacing where some things have to go on until the heat death of the universe but other things are resolved instantly in the least satisfying way possible.

Like, okay you created this scenario where Cody Fans are frothing mad and creating more engagement than the literal sex trafficking scandal currently ongoing in the company, they could easily have milked this all the way to Wrestlemania finding ways to give the Codymaniacs crumbs of hope and then taking them away again (preferably, in their eyes, every time there's a headline about Vince) and having Rock poke them like someone jabbing at a hornets nest with a stick but instead they just panicked and resolved the problem that they created a week later. Soooo, now what? What does everyone do for 2 months?
