Market manipulation + a little extortion is a wonderful combination.

They, the "fans" probably think that is the only chance they will get to meet X person. And being loud and obnoxious will get them attention, like that dude who sang to john Cena while he ate.

Er, no that was an influencer or something who did that, and Cena shut him down cold.

Back in the day, before everyone had cameras on them, a lot of those same fans would have gotten fucked up by the soon to be arrested wrestler

Everything You Need to Know About NEW AEW World Champion Darby Allin | All Elite Wrestling YouTube video by All Elite Wrestling

These videos are brilliant. Id love to see someone brand new watching it.

#AEW 🤼

I get there are things like arena football all ect. Fans of so many otjer sports in north America have only like one option of a major national league for their preferred sport

Again, I could be wrong.

I get a lot of that is due to sports monopolization though.

One thing I find interesting about WWE and AEW being around is that wrestling is one of the only major forms of entertainment i'm aware of, that essentially has a competing league at about the same level.

Like, either aew or wwe are more or less even.

As far as I know, NFL, NHL ect don't have that

I have a sibling who i hate with the fire of 1000 suns.

My will, includes the line she is banned from my funeral

if i am on a flight and see her on it, i'm jumping out of the plane.

BUT,

if she was SAed, i'd be in jail for the rest of my life for what i do to the perp.

I genuinely think that there are some people who spend so much time online, in a bubble they have created for themselves, that they forget how to act in the real world.

Sometimes young wrestlers really remind me i'm old.

jevon Evans was in a brutal ladder match and the next night he's in another match.

At 45, I have yawned, and felt the entire right side of my rib cage collapsed, forcing me to randomly invent yoga poses in public.

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Simple

Agreed. I don't care how great an athlete a wrestler is, wrestling at its core should mimick a contact sport, athletes in a contact sport should not look like I can kick their ass.

In saying that, obviously looks can be deceiving. A guy who looks like Clark Kent could be as strong sd doomsday

Agreed, or don't frown on them for smoking the devils lettuce to help with pain.

Yeah, I can't argue with that. I know very little about roids, but growing up as a fan of wwe in the 80's, I think for myself and lot of my generation we immediately think roids equals, body builder/road warrior/ultimate warrior type bodies.

Personally, i wish some er former wwe guys like Rusev stayed in aew.

Not a knock on him or aew itself mind you, but at least to me, Rusev the insane redeemer in aew could have been more interesting if not for their bloated roster....

He goes back to wwe....and its a lateral move with the same issu

The thing with "just wanting to go back to the fed" is an interesting line.

I think that's very much true for Cody, who seemingly wanted to be where he is now since he left, and I think he got lucky and fell in with the aew crowd, which propelled him.

The other thing is, those two arent alone

All of which is possible

With punk, I think TK fucked up by giving him too much power and not handling the punk/bucks/Kenny situation.

Say what you will Vince, but he would have never let shit like that happen, for better or worse for a variety of reasons, such as experience and so on TK lacks.

See, now that is just fucked up.

Honestly, and I get i'm ignorant, but if punk showed up looking as jacked as Warlord or, wwe era Benoit, then I might be more likely to beleive punk being on roids.

Traveling for work sucks. He and other wrestler were probably testy, and sore.

These days, fans feel more entitlement than ever.

Oh, I'm not looking to. For the most part I agree with you.

Regardless of what promotion a person watches, I have been watching wrestling since about 1984, and growing up watching wwe, then finding out abojt wcw and other promotions.....

I still can't believe how much access we have to so much different wrestling at the touch of a button. Amazing

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't think you're entirely correct about his leaving aew.

Ehhh to be fair, TK severly dropped the ball on the Punk thing.

This has been one of my biggest complaints about TK being given a wrestling company instead of working his way up, or spending time in TR at a different promotion.

The punk thing blindsided him, and Tony had no idea how to handle it

Sorry, to be clear Talia, I was referring to the horrific Elanyia Black assult.

No, those videos of punk and Bayley, eh, its possible they were just trolls, not wwe fans.

But then again, it's also highly likely they were.

Regardless, the fans were entitled idiots, with zero respect for others.

Okay, so zero proof. Just speculation.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because I don't know myself.

I genuinely wonder if roids go against the straight edged philosophy...

So, that would be a "no" then in answer to my question?

I have looked online and couldn't find any mention of a wwe fan of being accused of the assault.

"Roid rage"?

What on earth makes you think he is gassing?

With respect, that's not totally accurate.

Elon Musk, spent $270 million to get trump back in office.

Trump is, the disease, but nothing he's doing happens without Musk.

That totally works too.

But, have you thought through?

I mean, sure immorality seems neat, but having to go nightly hunts for food just seems exhausting......

Unless you also become an undead entrepreneur and create like the vampire equivalent to door dash......which really would just be any delivery person....

I will like to see WWE giving both, the men's and women's rumble winners a main event spot as well.

And not just a match placed on the card, called the a main event match.
