he got 4K on a video he made about Ospreay promos where the joke is "his accent is hard to understand". he's gained too much power and must be stopped

yeah but while 36 is 46 in NJPW, 36 is 26 in WWE because they're focused more on the storytelling than injuring their bodies for pointless matches

But in WWE they run house shows all the time, so someone who's a WWE 19 would be a AEW 9. So Tony Khan is therefore using child labor and needs to go to jail.

The thing I never get about these people who keep screaming and crying and moaning about things like, Osprey's matches in AEW having "Zero build" is like, he literally just got here. The story is literally starting???

It feels like the "MATCHES AREN'T STORIES" want every single match and every single promo on every single weekly tv show to be Act 3 in a 9-month long blood feud but they don't ever want to see Act 1 or 2. It makes no sense whatsoever.

How would you EVER have any matches on a show if you can ONLY do matches that have several weeks/months of build, even on weekly TV?

Yeah, can’t give away matches on the free tv that’s also your primary source of revenue, gotta sell’em a la cart to 10% of your audience for $50 a pop.

No no no, you put them on a streaming service where they are free, you just have to pay a subscription fee and sit through a timeshare presentation for Australia or Saudi Arabia.

Also you don't want clean finishes because how else are you gonna get them back next week/month, so every match should end with a count-out/dq or some kind of gently caress finish. That's just good booking.

What if Kenny Omega killed a guy? Would that be okay? What if he blew up the Sun? Would you cheer for that just because he’s a good wrestler? What if he financed a coup in a foreign country and installed an AEW-friendly dictator? Would you let that pass just because you like the One Winged Angel?

I had a housemate in college who bought a dirt bike and put it on the balcony, dripping enormous amounts of oil onto the stone

He finally fixed the dirt bike towards the end of the semester and when he got on it, his body weight compressed all of the shocks all the way down

He rode the bike once and then came back to the house and threw his helmet into the wall as hard as he could before storming into his room and slamming the door

Don’t know what made me think about this

I have seen many of these cases of people thinking a famous person is behind an anonymous account and it typically never bears out

There is always some random nobody who wants to cheerlead for the famous person, especially if it is controversial
