That said I could totally understand liking mjf more, as realistic doesn't necessarily mean more entertaining.

I can definitely dig heel Reigns, but at this point it is a bore. AAA's quote below nails it for me perfectly.

He has had tons more originality to his promos than Reigns has. Reigns said some shit the first few weeks, now he repeats those same few lines but inserts a different name. Not taking away from him, it is what "creative has for him". It is just tiring now.

Exactly this right here. Something should have evolved a bit by now, a little bit anyway.

Two different archetypes. Both are doing great with what they have. Really enjoy Miro's "Redeemer" promos. Why not both?



I can see people popping more when MJF gets his ass beat, or booing the fuck outta him and probably throwing whatever can be thrown, when he becomes AEW champ. He's had a slow burn rising, but has always remained hot. When he finally does ascend, it is going to piss people off in a very major way.

MJF gets points for being one man. He’s his own Paul Heyman.

Right? Even Heyman was beginning to become tiresome with Lesnar toward the end. I get that sing along with the champ gives everyone the warm fuzzies, but it also urges me to change the channel.

Wrestling fans are definitely the worst. Their reactions to things, which often aren’t genuine, do often make the product impenetrable. I’ve said this before, but I know several people who refuse to go to wrestling shows or, especially, take their families to wrestling shows, because the fans are obnoxious twats that ruin the enjoyment for everyone else.

They think they’re so clever, but they’re not smart enough to see how they could enhance shows rather than hinder them. Easiest people in the world to work too. They still get worked even when you tell them you’re working and they’re absolutely hostile to the idea of being worked. It’s incredible.

Fuck AEW.
Fuck WWE.
Fuck the NWA.
Fuck New Japan.
Fuck classic wrestling.

It’s been easier than I suspect. I’ve checked the news a couple of times and listened to some Cornette YouTube clips (not his full show, I’m even off criticism of wrestling). I think I might be properly done soon.

Thanks for the memories, wrestling. You got me through some weird times growing up. But it’s time I realized you haven’t been good to me in a long, long time. Fuck off and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The WWE surely gets a lot of the blame, but AEW was it for me. I just can’t. The self-indulgent disregard of there being any sort of art to this. The complete waste of potential. I went from being optimistic about wrestling to seeing so clearly that this is not going to be something a reasonable person can enjoy in record time.

So a special big fuck you to AEW for that. And also fuck TPWW for housing some of the most insecure and gormless little marks. I was right when I said WWE sucked way back, and I am right when I say AEW sucks right now.

I’m off to read some books or something.
