Move over Zack Sabre Jr., Mike and Maria Kanellis are now my favourite socialists in wrestling

Maria does describe herself as a "Democratic Socialist" in her Instagram bio, so honestly I'm all for them taking their hellish corporate bosses for all they can.

Ok not to say i agree with his ratings but isn’t that one of the guys who mainly posts on the lefty Wrestling FB page? I inferred that he is somewhat on the spectrum and he seems to enjoy watching and giving star ratings to shows. People just kind of let him do his thing. Maybe I’m totally wrong, but cmon. Don’t be a dillweed about him.

I just joined that page and did not realize this

It’s good man, it took me a week or so to pick up on it too. I think it’s just a place where he feels comfortable posting these ratings and won’t get a bunch of lovely wrestling fans arguing with him and calling him names.

Miro is kept strong and out of the main event scene pretty obviously Bc he will eventually get a storyline that elevates him. That story is not currently happening, but they want him on TV, so they gave him a different storyline! How do some people not get this?

So I actually clicked through to that account for the first time ever and most of the tweets are just…them getting worked by the story telling in the matches? Like when a wrestler sells a connected superkick to the head or a hurt arm, AEW Botches instantly is posting about it as if they’re actually hurt?

God bless, it’s still real to them, dammit

It seems like a more and more common “criticism” of AEW I’m seeing in these tweets is “it’s hard to follow.” And I keep wondering, what is? Are they all just poisoned by WWE so much that a storyline like Hangmam/Omega, which has a new significant chapter every week, confuses them; and they wish the two were just trading wins for two months straight?

I think Matt is loving fine as he clearly gets out of the ring with the belt and continues to play it up to the fans. He’s playing a heel and he knows it and imo it’s an awesome visual.

Also the only way a pizza cutter is going to cut you is if someone puts pressure on it and forces it into you. Flinging it into a ring is absolutely not enough force to do much more than have it bounce right off you. Christ, chill with the pearl clutching lol.

I think people were just looking for reasons why the Fiend abruptly disappeared after Mania, so when he did Brodie's move and made some social media posts they went wild with projection and assumption.

Throw in the fact that all these Fiend Twitter stans had such intense investment in the character and how his epic lore would play out, and none of them were remotely prepared for the ending being "they got bored and cut Bray's big salary :shrug:" If you're the type of fan who treats WWE like comic books or theater, it's gotta be disorienting when one of the "main villains" of the story just randomly gets fired with no closure and never even had a plan to begin with.

This 100%

It’s actually way WEIRDER that all these WWE maniacs created a “new truth” out of thin air about why Bray wasn’t on the show that both made him more sympathetic (although he obviously deserves time off to properly mourn a close friend) AND absolved WWE of just callously getting rid of talent, something they’ve done throughout their time on top. It’s anti-Occam’s Razor. Unhinged from reality.

Emi’s theme rules. It’s a nightmarish kaleidoscope of sounds that don’t work together turning into aural mush as weirdly dissonant horns play over the top, as I’ve said before, giving me Disintegration Loops vibes. I encourage more avant-garde music in wrestling.

I would call it a sort of “cosmic gumbo”

The CM Punk pop went on for an entire segment of the show, and then they were 3-4 supplemental pops while he talked. You can’t just wish the other pops bigger. But I mean they spend their pitiful existences lying and bending the truth so what’s new?

Yeah CM Punk basically did every single thing Booker “wished” he did and spoke pretty much only on the WWE at two points. Big points, sure, but the vast majority of his promo was spent talking about his time in ROH and getting people excited for his time in AEW. I think Booker made his mind up about the promo before it was even done.
