Reading replies to Twitter posts about WWE is a good reminder about how many autistic people watch wrestling.

#AutisticWrestlingFan

This is a good reminder for me to update the biggest Roman Reigns fan on Twitter thread

Did anyone actually think that all parties, but especially WWE/Vince wouldn't eventually screw this up before it even got truly started? Could it still surprise and be decent or better than most of the other garbage they produce? Sure, but that doesn't make it as good as it could be or as people are making it out to be.

I've been thinking that this is a reason that the Becky stuff hasn't moved the needle at all. I mean, I'm not trying to say she would be a draw or anything, but people are like "Hmm, SmackDown is still going down." Do any of the fans left have any faith in this not to be ruined?

And it could happen with anything that they try to give some traction. Fans aren't going to trust it. WWE have burnt people too many times for them to have that complete abandon of apprehension. Now the suspension of disbelief is suspending your disbelief that this is going to be irrelevant in a few weeks time.

We're all they have left because they've chased off everybody else. Wrestling fans suck, and I think it is going to become a problem if "normies" decide they want to watch wrestling again. They'll just want to watch some Hardy Boyz and they'll be surrounded by screeching that Broken Matt is way much better, but I don't really feel sorry for WWE, because they fucked up things to the point where only the obsessive fan remains. Now they gatekeep.

Yeah, I was really put off by the muties at the last house show I went to a few years ago. 3 lads chanting “SUPER DRAGON” over and over again only “popping” each other. Ugh, really put me off.

Part of me thinks that modern viewing habits make WWE unpalatable. We’re a generation of binge watchers. I still prefer to watch week by week but I know a tonne of people that would sooner wait until the end of the season (even with “Event TV” like Game of Thrones) and then binge the whole season.

WWE and it’s 5+ hours of TV a week does not lend itself to a binge watch.

Damn.... at the RAW house show I didn't go to over the weekend, apparently Roode/Gable and The Revival had a 40 minute match that was apparently "awesome"....

Nobody should wanna watch those 4 fuckers anymore than 40 seconds.

We get it Black Widow, you're a cunt.

You want to know what's going to happen should "Normies" ever get back into wrestling?

Check out what happened to Comics and Video Games. And I will have to crack some fucking heads over that.

The muties in comics and video games are the fucking worst. If wrestling gets that bad, I'm going to go for some nice long walks in the park, I think.

If the WWE was smart, they’d have Rousey go over “The Man” and continue to get the fans to hate on Rousey. Keep Ronda’s heat going. Keep pushing Ronda as a face and keep getting the fans to hate her guts. If Rousey can garner Cena/Reigns level heat, it would be a huge fan for the company.
