AEW drove me to watch more highlights, just to do a compare and contrast. Watching every week doesn’t mean you know more. The content is largely shitty in execution, but some of the ideas aren’t shit in conception. There are also realities about their business model that internet smarks have trouble gripping or deliberately ignore.
How the AEW/NXT “war” has been presented has been a big tipping point for me. So much misreading and projecting contrary to reason. Which, by the way, no one argues with me on. BigCrippyZ calls me a cocksucker and Smeat cries when I point out something he has shared is just obviously and blatantly wrong. But no one actually gets in and discusses the points, because they know I’m right.
People just like the hardcore fan narrative of the WWE is evil, dying and bad. There are truths in there without saying things like the SmackDowm Women’s Division is a mess. It’s being built around Bayley right now. That is its entire purpose. Whatever Smeat is going on about — a failure to create other contenders or whatever — is honestly fucking markish. It’s a one-woman vehicle right now, with Mandy Rose and Sonya’s stupid drama being the other emphasis. Am I wrong about that?
