Play Nice Hot Topic : Tribalism in Wrestling

Especially when it’s the same people, having the same match over and over. Ricky Starks has gone missing, Miro is having another long absence, so people that can provide a different match, are being over looked for the flippy guys.

Also just what id call the pointless spots in matches.

Darby Allin jumping through glass in Stings final match after guy moved off it 15 seconds earlier with glass spraying towards the crowd added nothing for anyone. It being Stings final match was MUCH more important then Darby Allin trying to do stupid unnecessary shit. Any smart booker with a brain would have told him its a big fat NO and if he wants to do something that dumb to do it another time

Not sure how anyone could have been OK with that spot and didnt think it was selfish garbage. They think it helps the brand when it simply doesnt. A extremely niche amount of fans want to see that. A larger majority are not interested and see it as lame. They then turn off as a result

One aspect of AEW etc is right now Joe Hendry NXT debuts has more views then MJF return…

I think that is alarming for them

No need to compare them at all.

If WWE were producing some of the story lines AEW are currently the AEW fan boys would be going bananas.

Because I committed the cardinal sin of liking some tweets during Summerslam, the algorithm has spent the last 24 hours throwing up some of the worst examples of it into my feed.

What's baffling is that there is literally something for everyone at the moment - it's never been more mainstream acceptable to be a wrestling fan, both major companies are cooking, you can literally spend Monday-Sunday watching genuinely entertaining wrestling if you're of a mind to do so.

Yet rather than having their cake AND eating it, too, people invest an unhealthy amount of time in picking "the opposition" to pieces. It's genuinely insane.

Both companies have wrestlers that you either love or hate to watch. As an example in AEW MJF, Will Osprey, Ricky Starks, Kenny Omega, FTR are great to watch. The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, Chris Jericho, switch off. Same whining promo’s, same matches, that are just catered for Dave Meltzer.

In WWE at the moment, Cody, Punk, Drew, Rhea, Gunther(Walter) are must watch. Anything Blood line especially Rock’s Cousin where you watch any match of his, and your thinking being castrated by a rusty nail would be more preferable. Charlotte, especially when she speaks. “Internet Influencers” and a few others switch off. For personal reasons, I refuse to watch anything Saudi Arabia related. The product has been better without Vince I especially enjoy not having his juvenile sense of humour. Others will have different opinions but each to their own.

The unhinged takes on Twitter are way worse than reddit.
