Most of the stuff he said is pretty reasonable, but I still get hung up on the whole "they hate us because it's cool to hate us" thing. To me, it ties back to the idea of "hater culture"; if everyone who talks negatively about your work is a "hater", you never have to acknowledge legitimate criticism. It's the worst, man. Guy I made up #1: Maybe don't smoke pot with your kids in the room. Guy I made up #2: HATER!!!! Guy I made up #2 is obviously Matt Riddle.

Of all dumb insulting things he ever said ,this is the biggest Just a mistake on the writer's part. Seth actually said "Killer Kelly is great." He was actually bigging up Kevin Kelly's interview skills during the Attitude Era.

It’s cute how he thinks anything associated with WWE is cool.
I don’t hate WWE because it’s cool, I hate WWE because a product I’ve watched for 30 years now absolutely sucks.

People in WWE tell themselves it's cool to hate WWE because that puts the words 'cool' and 'WWE' into the same sentence and it's not like that's going to happen any other way

So people hate on Seth’s character because they are jealous of who he is banging, and hate the company because they are so successful it’s hard to root for them. I sense a trend there.
And someone tell Seth that Chyna was a believable opponent for men twenty years ago, and Lita was taking stiff chair shots from Steve Austin around that time as well. Plus Sable beating up Marc Mero on the regular, Stephanie taking every finisher from every top star, etc. Women are definitely treated better as a whole today (on TV at least) but he went full on Steph McMahon with the women’s evolution stuff there. The women were always presented as tough until the 2000’s when it became a casting couch for Johnny Ace to hire bikini models instead of wrestlers:

But the New England Patriots are objectively good at what they do. You're more like the Jets. If we're talking about teams with make staggering amounts of money in spite of baffling amounts of incompetence from the top down, the easiest comparison is that WWE is the New York Knicks. Both even have a connection to Madison Square Garden.

Maybe not the best look to try and get a rise out of posters for the simple sake of high horsing them afterwards.

It’s not cool though. If it were people wouldn’t complain as much. Is there a more loyal and passionate fan base for anything more than lifetime fans of wrestling?
Fans have stuck through thin times, defended it when it “wasn’t cool” and enjoyed enlightening others when it became cool again.
I’ve been a wrestling fan for over 30 years. You can see generations of fans when you go to live events. Lifetime fans have all spent thousand and thousands of dollars on the product.
Our reward right now is lackluster programming, insulting lip service and being told were in the wrong because we don’t like what we’re being shown every week.
WWE isn’t cool. It’s micromanaged, copyright seeking corporate drek. I understand it’s a business and the bottom line is to make money and extending yourself as much as possible gives you other avenues to earn.
But don’t think you’re not going to alienate your fans who tune in to actually watch wrestling

Okay Seth, let's ask Disney about that drastically shrinking Marvel audience. After all, it's one of the most successful brands in entertainment, so surely it's cool to hate it.
What's that? Oh, they just made another billion dollars. Shut up, dork.

You don't know how much I wanted that to be a real Rollins quote.

"If you don't wanna have to worry about executive Connecticut bluebloods dancing around in the photos pointing at you and giving the Kliq sign, come to Lake Dallas" Fritz as Suge Knight. Talk about a combination of scumbaggery.

This is such a standard interview that the "time for everyone to get angry" tone of this thread makes no sense whatsoever. You never know with this board anymore

Pretty standard interview. The stuff about Becky being able to come back after taking Corbin finisher is decent logic.

I came in here thinking he literally compared WWE to those rap labels ans was kind of excited to read that interview.
That would have made me like him more.
As it is they should just turn him Heel if he's going to keep doing stuff like this

Seth's comments about the women there was very powerful and it's very true indeed. They deserve the spotlight. Props to Becky as well because at the end of the ppv she wasn't the one hurt the most, it was Rollins. Sure Lesnar was there but Becky was still supporting him while he was depressed and not phased at all.

Becky was attacked and Rollins lost his shit but in the process he lost the title as well that night. Both were hurt but still trying to make sure each other was okay
