CAnon is a very apt term to describe Cornette acolytes. Man, I hope when Dark Side of the Ring hits season 10 or whatever and Cornette finally gets an episode centred on him, it won't be because he riled up his followers enough to do domestic terrorism over rasslin'.

Yeah, you're right. I guess my opting to only look here for wrestling discourse (particularly AEW's) has conditioned me to believe the AEW fandom is less trash than the rest. Someone mentioned the last Dynamite had dudes wearing Trump 2020 shirts too lol.

Lol, you don't have to care about it, but a racist, anti-vax piece of poo poo was clearly affecting her former peers. It's not just "high school drama" to them, and Kidd Bandit and the others weren't only airing out dirty laundry for speaking out against a racist Karen who's been talking poo poo about them.

I mean they are legitimately booking him badly, he’s a body guy who can’t cut promos for poo poo and they’ve taken him out of team Taz where he had the promo guys. He came in as a monster heel and they turned him face before he was near ready to leave his stable. Don’t get the complaining on Twitter but he’s one of the wrestlers in AEW at the moment where they are absolutely not playing to his strengths

I agree that this was bad booking but this was still an angle where he still had plenty of opportunity to showcase all the things he listed, just as he always had.

Him being so visibly upset about this instead of going straight to Tony Khan is sus too. My unsubstantiated feeling is that considering he's already an anti-vax chud, he might have been Cornpilled somewhere along the way lol.

Funnily, Brian's real-life complaints are exactly the sort of talking points Taz would go on a tirade about in a feud; it's always about how Team Taz are not given the same chance as another popular wrestler or faction.

Sonny is not only as talented, but I do feel like he's legitimately underused by AEW. I'd imagine the internet would be more supportive of him if he went off on Twitter about it.

Extremely normal way to view an employee not being satisfied

I mean, Cage himself is having an extremely normal one here. It's not like the people in this thread are dunking on an employee from an abusive/exploitative workplace who's trying to unionise. This is Brian Cage whose grievances are boiled down to "I'm not pushed enough" despite the multiple attempts at a push where he could have showcased all those skills he listed to their full extent.

Because that's not what that apology is.

Sorry THAT I offended you and sorry IF I offended you are two different things. One claims responsibility and one does not.

That being said the apology means poo poo if he doesn't back it up. Work with RAINN or something and then I'll listen.

Okay, I see what the argument is now. Though while he didn't explicitly do the "Sorry if..." apology, he sure as heck felt the need to mention that it wasn't his intention to offend, hurt, or victim-shame anyone, which might as well be the same thing.

Is it not? Unless one can argue that what he said on Dark Side of the Ring wasn't meant to offend, hurt or victim-shame, then what he's saying here is the same as "Sorry if you're offended." Both suggest that it is us who're misconstruing what he'd said on the show, turning the offensive thing into a mere hypothetical.

I'd imagine constantly seeing weirdos accusing you of paedophilia because of Corny's dumb podcast in your mentions everyday can be psychologically damaging even if you were at the peak of your industry (Kenny's also been doing a very good job at ignoring them before this). And if this BS spread further than the Cornpilled niche, it might even affect his career.

He seemed fine during his debut but some people here and the Fed-sourced wrestling press were still convinced he was slow and unfit.
