I was skeptical on the initial signing report but then Fightful picked it up. Sean Ross Sapp has been way more accurate than Meltzer in the last year.

Switching employers is the most heinous of all sins!
The super weird thing is all the comments on his instagram posts, which are mainly just pics of his kids and wife that are all "You ruined my life", "I have followed your career since the beginning when you were Miz's protege and you are dead to me", etc. |

*Insert obligatory "Bryan is a B+ player, which is why he's going to the B+ promotion"*
Insert snarky: "B+ is being very generous for AEW" just made the rest of the day's conversation. |

This is just wrestling fans emulating what they have seen happen in real sports. It is totally absurd since these are National Wrestling Companies and not a local team, but that if what those comments remind me of.

Meltzer has lost it. He’s a carny at this point, exploiting the AEW fan-base for whatever they’re worth.

It’s extreme, but it’s okay for fans to feel betrayed or annoyed that a wrestler they like is going to a promotion that they don’t. The vitriol is a bit much, but artistically I’ve lost respect for both Bryan and Punk too. That’s a perfectly fine response to have. Because AEW fucking sucks.

WWE fucking sucks too. Why didn’t you lose respect for Bryan when he re-signed with WWE? At least now he’s got a change of scenery.

Cody’s biggest flaw is that he lets his friends who have no mind for the wrestling business do whatever they like.
That freedom in Punk and Bryan’s hands could ACTUALLY work out well for once. “Artistically” this is a much better decision than WWE. |

They’ll go even more apoplectic if the rumors end up being true. And I would gladly bathe in their tears.

The problem in AEW is that people who shouldn’t have freedom do. People who shouldn’t have jobs do. It’s like WCW without any real mainstream stars letting Disco Inferno book his own stuff. Punk and Bryan are EXACTLY the two sort of guys I’d like to see a company give the book to, but if you’re going to have them on a show where Nick Gage is one of the ultimate tests for Chris Jericho, sorry, but that is the drizzlies. They’re full of bad ideas from bad creative. |

At least the money will be good and they will be able to afford their medical bills. But that could be said of almost anywhere they ended up.

Guy who doesn’t understand metaphors also doesn’t understand the details of how actual US advertising and TV revenues and ratings work. Also apparently doesn’t understand that one’s actual talent and popularity don’t reflect one’s “star power” or merch “sales”, especially in an industry like pro wrestling, or a company like WWE, that has literally admitted to manipulating merch sales revenues and manufacturing and purchasing opportunities in talent litigation depositions.

It's a factual statement to say that over half of WWE's audience is retards and burn victims. Sorry for the harsh language but it's a wide spectrum and I can't find a better word. AEW's audience is a much more self confident and cooler crowd that is "in" on the joke and "up" for the action. WWE audience is mostly burn victims.

2. When we argued TV advertising, you ended up agreeing with my actual point and going on some tangent (because I get you so hot), and then shut up when I pointed out you were misunderstanding the subject. See, you have to do that because the actual points overwhelm you. So you try and use jargon (and the most basic and entry-level jargon) at that, to create a side point. You do it in EVERY thread you post in. The most recent one was throwing out general knowledge definitions of defamation in the thread where people had already covered the subject better than you. You take a Google search level of knowledge with you wherever you go. And you probably think that’s a good look. By the way, how great did that demo serve AEW with the hockey? I bet they’re just kidding themselves now they’ve got Punk and Bryan though. Whoops, turns out I was right. 3. I didn’t mention merch sales, bitch. Are you really going to say that you think either Punk or Bryan is a bigger star than Roman Reigns? You really will say anything. It’s the closest thing about you to being a real lawyer. |

Frank Grimes-esque rants from people who can’t fathom that a guy might be happier working at another company.

Arguing with a complete moron and trying to convince them that they are in fact a moron, at some point itself becomes moronic… hence my lack of continuing to argue with you on a subject you clearly don’t even know shit about. |

So Daniel Bryan leaves WWE and the iron fist of an out-of-touch old man with the final say over every little thing in favor of a place that will give him (a guy you just admitted is EXACTLY the sort of guy you’d like to see be given the book) a ton of creative freedom... And that decision has caused you to lose respect for him artistically. ... what... |

Losing respect artistically for a guy you think has a good mind artistically because he went somewhere where he’ll have loads more freedom artistically.
This is a new one. |

You’re so fucking stupid. I never said anything about defamation. I brought up trademark infringement and right of publicity (name, image, and likeness) infringement. Neither of those have anything to do with defamation. Defamation, trademark infringement, and right of publicity infringement are each completely separate legal claims with different elements and remedies you dumb fuck. Jesus… you really are a complete moron who doesn’t even have a basic understanding of how the US media system functions. |
