Lol, right on cue. These posts are so predictable. Instead of actually responding to my reasonable post, some of which was directly requested by another poster, here comes a dude with a sock account dedicated to me to try and attack me instead of the actual argument.

Not miserable, folks. Just because I type “This show sucks” doesn’t mean I’m not having a jolly good time doing it. Weird concept, I know. Do I wish wrestling was better? Of course. Am I sorry that one of my favorite art forms has been diluted and trivialized to the point it can barely qualify as art? Sure. But I’m not miserable. I get my wrestling fix from other sources now. And it’s left me with a lot more time to read, exercise, go out for nice meals and work on personal projects. Cutting out wrestling has actually been a net good in my life. It’s just a shame I had to do it.

If you still enjoy this crap, cool. You do you. I’ve said that many times. But there is a difference between subjective enjoyment and objective success. And there’s a difference between you enjoying something and it actually being good.

Don’t tell me that AEW is this raging success where WWE isn’t. Don’t tell me it’s narrowing this gap when it’s not. Don’t tell me that $45 million a year is a shit-load of money in television terms. Don’t tell me that 1.1 million viewers is some amazing number, while 1.75 million is a sinking ship. Don’t fucking lie to me. I don’t lie to you. I tell you exactly what I think on a DISCUSSION BOARD. We’re here to DISCUSS ideas, not blindly prop up your sensitive fandom that can’t survive a healthy dose of reality.

If you love AEW — good for you. Some people like Vegemite too. Cool. Grow a set of balls and enjoy what you enjoy. But you have to accept that some people aren’t going to like it, and that some people are going to call a spade a spade in regards to that.

And that’s why people around here get so bothered by me. It really is. They know I’m right, and it does wet their socks a little. That’s why you don’t see actual retorts to my posts, and just have insecure idiots trying to tell me off for being miserable, posting on a board I’ve been frequenting for 20 years, making sick accounts, telling me to relax, etc. I’m sorry that your wrestling doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. But maybe hold AEW to a higher standard instead of shooting the messenger?
