We're long past "it's too much of an inside joke" or "new fans won't get it" being worthwhile talking points.

Totally understand why some rasslin' fans don't like him. And that's perfectly fine. But anyone who acts like he's not one of the most popular acts they have really isn't arguing in good faith.
He's all those things to the same group of people who have watched aew from the start, and probably always will as long as it's around. He's not some big star thats bringing new eyes to the product.
