I've always said if I was like don't give a gently caress rich - I'd probably do a youtube and twitch channel where I did whatever I wanted, didn't even monetize it and just hosed around with like 10 followers.

Honestly if they didn't call it "the most impressive piece of camera work in Raw's history" that wouldn't even be a bad tweet. It is a neat shot, if pretty basic outside of prowrestling, and Kevin Dunn was really poo poo at his job. But everything has to be the greatest piece of cinema ever I guess.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


The dude is massively overstating it but he's not wrong that Kevin Dunn was a lovely hack who should never have got work.

Admittedly this is like someone who has only ever bought burgers at a gas station going to Cook Out and saying "Now these are the best burgers that have ever been made"

Also a movie having a scene that’s one shot isn’t impressive in and of itself. It’s because they were able to shoot the scene in one take that makes it impressive. Wrestling does this literally all the time.

If I'm being generous I think they mean that Okada is not an AEW "original". But who the gently caress cares. He's Kazuchika Okada

I just couldn’t imagine having a “biggest fear” related to how a wrestler will adjust to their new workplace. Just a bizarre thing to say.

But no seriously

Why is it that the chuds seem to like wwe more? Bully mentality embodied in Vince’s booking appeals to them? It really is a pretty rock solid assumption that if a dude is talking wwe positively on Twitter, he will at least be favorably inclined towards Trump

And vice versa, if a Trump fan mentions wrestling it will always be wwe

Probably confirmation bias on my part but still, I feel like there is something there

I think you just have a lot of conservatives on Twitter in general. Combine that with AEW doing stuff like showcasing women, having openly gay and trans wrestlers - it attracts vitriol from conservatives that makes them double down on "AEW SUCKS WWE GOOD" stuff.

Trump fandom or wwe fandom, and did one lead to the other
