Don’t think anyone cared much for Jinder like they do for Jay White, but it’s not like Jinder’s run isn’t universally panned. Seth was already established, and was part of the Authority with Triple H, Steph and others. Jay White is not established yet in the company and is now being saddled with channel changers like the Gunn Club. He's being "saddled" with henchman who are there to be henchman I get you don't like the Gunn's but acting like this hurts Jay when he's been paired with so many people in his career including underlings like this is just weird to me. I don’t think it’s weird to express that a bad act being paired with an act you want to succeed but is not yet established is upsetting. Same way it wasn’t weird (and ended up being proven true) to be upset that Hobbs was being saddled with QT Marshall.

I don't want to hate them, but we're rapidly approaching "You're a shit person, and we're gonna think less of you if you don't hate them" territory here. No we're not. We're super, super not. Like, I don't know. I think I'm hyper-sensitive about things like this because it seems like whenever there's a popular opinion, I'm on the opposite side of it.

It all depends on if you see them as a bad act and the entire situation as a whole Gunn's are being put in BCG as the henchman, and I think they've improved as an act, so you saying they're a "bad act" is subjective I wanted these guys in the faction from the jump because I thought this is the exact role they'd fit, so I'm content to see it unfold myself, you aren't and hate The Gunns, so it's fair enough.

Just gonna point out there's a 5 page thread in 45 minutes about the Ass Boys. Ya'll are more venomous towards them than ya were to Herp and Derp with Jinder or J and J security with Seth I don't want to hate them, but we're rapidly approaching "You're a shit person, and we're gonna think less of you if you don't hate them" territory here. Not at all I was making a poor attempt at a joke

You are. I know I've talked about this with you before and I know it isn't just a switch that can be shut off but nobody is going "Wow what a bad person' because you don't hate some mediocre wrestleguys. You put way too much stock into the idea people assign moral value to really basic dumb shit and I want to reassure you here that you are not hated because of your posts in this thread. You genuinely just do not post anything controversial enough to warrant the paranoia that you feel, which doesn't make the paranoia go away, but I think saying it to you explicitly might help give you some grounding. The people loudly disliking Gunn Club are deflated because they like Jay White or because they think these two dudes really suck. It's not an axis by which anyone is looking to judge others.

To me the Gunns aren't bad but just not that entertaining. They're not good schulbs. 2.0? Those are great schulbs. QT w/the right material? Good schulb. Gunns? Need more work.

If they want to keep Jay strong and Juice hard, they need bitches to get knocked around.

I think the point is well was I was making fun of the fact that of all things Austin and Colten Gunn are causing a strong reaction either way. And even if people don't like something I'm not gonna call someone a bad person for that. I may challenge people when I can tell they're just being a dick, but I was making a (clearly poor) attempt at saying "people... it's the ass boys... c'mon"

"A bunch of people are gonna chip in about how this was an underwhelming misfire to the stable of a guy we want to care about." "Ha, looks like from the page count that you're all actually really interested in the Gunns!"
This is some Scott Hall survey level reaction-twisting.

I can't believe a thread about the Gunns becoming lackeys got this much traction. It's Bullet Club. They're going to have annoying heels. These dudes are effective heels who know how to take an ass beating. It will be fine.

I know I said that, but I promise you I was joking when I said it lol But I also think that The Gunns hurting the stable is a bit much, hurting Jay even more so, they're just underlings, they aren't even doing what QT did with Hobbs which was make an entire act AROUND him, they're just gonna be the lower end of an act that already existed Every faction needs goons and I just feel like the Gunns are great goons for this specific faction I hope they get Big Bill and Lee Moriarty too, get ALL The Firm Orphans lol
