Yes. I peek in from time to time to see what kind of terrible posts I can find there. There are a lot. The one I quoted though stuck out because the guy who made it is an unironic Jinder Mahal fan. In every way.

The posters there are incredibly lovely and full of bad opinions, including directing unwarranted hatred towards WWE.

Kind of interesting that the places he's completely forgetting about when he says nobody outside the US cares about baseball (Latin America, Japan, Canada) are the places with the strongest pro wrestling traditions outside the US

It's true that if a country doesn't have an established Baseball fanbase already, like the US, Japan etc, no one cares about it even slightly though.

There's absolutely no chance that the MLB could try to make a base in the UK for example like the NFL has done, to limited success.

As opposed to WWE's vast success breaking into new territories, such as the noted trillions they're raking in from Jinder's India

I think they'd have exactly the same success the NFL is having, since the London NFL games mostly draw American expats living in Europe.

This isn't really true, I know tons of people who go to NFL games when they're here and none of them are American expats. It's a special event attraction kind of thing. Whether the same people would turn out for a full season's worth of games is a different question.

Heck, when I was in Cambridge back in 2001, I told some guy I was from Kansas City and he was like "Oh, like the Kansas City Chiefs". The Chiefs weren't even good that year.

(I wonder if it helps at all that US football is structurally similar to rugby.)

Piers Morgan is a man who was a shoot oval office who decided to use it as a work and forgot that everyone else will always remember it's a shoot.
