Effectively it's when a fan believes that the brand or product is the only one which should exist or be enjoyed, and treat it as a personal slight if they hear anybody criticize their product or praise the other. For instance:
Fan A: I love AEW. WWE fans are all toddlers. It's not REAL wrestling! Frankly WWE fans are just morons who don't understand what actual good wrestling is!
Fan B: I love WWE. AEW should just go out of business, because it's ruining wrestling. Their fans are all nerds who live in their moms' basements! They don't tell stories!

I had to watch that for a film class in college. When it finished the teacher asked how many of us liked it. About half the hands in the room went up. She then asked how many understood what it was about. Every hand went down. It was then that I realized college age film students are pretentious little f***ers. You just need basic schlock with the classics. Sometimes it's good to watch Alien Avenger with Dolph Lundgren or Zeriam. The first two movies we watched in that class were Superbad and Borat. I really don't know who did the movie selection but Superbad's a premise that was kind of sketchy when it first came out and aged like milk since, and if your main character gets hit by a car and my response is "too bad that didn't kill him" you did something wrong. And Borat was just an excuse for Sasha Baron Cohen to terrorize the United States saying ridiculous bullshit with a god awful accent. It was about a 50/50 as far as good and bad movies. We also got stuff like Citizen Kane, Office Space, Castaway, Casablanca and things like that.

I actually saw it in theaters for the discount weekend matinees, just for the heck of it. The next week I was like “one for that My Little Pony movie, yes I’m a grown man but i need to watch something happy and cute after sitting through whatever the hell *that* was” I honestly think it was the worst movie I've ever seen. It's the ultimate embodiment of this idiotic idea that "If I can't understand something it must be really smart and deep!" And no sometimes if you can't understand something it's just because it's pretentious nonsense.

For a company that takes a great deal of flack for “not telling stories,” I sincerely think that AEW is the best any wrestling company has ever been at actually giving a f*** about continuity. I mean we got Claudio worrying for Danielson's health playing off a ridiculously physical match that was "just moves and no story" and the events of 2 years ago which nearly ended his career leading to what should be a great angle between them, and the story of Swerve's entire title run so far had been him being an absolute prick biting in in the heinie over and over again. If you say AEW doesn't tell stories, then what you're really saying is you either don't watch the project or aren't paying attention.

Mrs. Wayne should be “Mother! Wayne” and get a new gimmick based on that freaky Darren Aranofsky movie. I had to watch that for a film class in college. When it finished the teacher asked how many of us liked it. About half the hands in the room went up. She then asked how many understood what it was about. Every hand went down. It was then that I realized college age film students are pretentious little f***ers.

That was a damn good match Swerve's champ run so far has been great He comes off as super cool in a very effortless way and feels like the smartest man in the room 9 times out of 10. He's not invincible, but he's a damn good wrestler.

Swerve carries himself like a champion in a way that's hard to explain.

Toni Storm promos are so delightfully unhinged. I can't believe this is the same woman: It's like the weirdest Pokemon evolutionary line: Punk Rock Girl-> Mean Girl-> Slightly Unhinged 1950s actress.

Also Mariah May very nearly cracked up during that one.

In general as long as they're not being racist, misogynistic, homophobic or otherwise bigoted, I am of the opinion that the paying customers have the right to express whatever opinion they may have about the event they paid to see.

I recall Roderick Strong and Takeshi Morishima in 2007 was a 13-minute match where Strong got maybe two minutes' worth of offense in the whole time before getting beat.

I'm always picking King, loved Katrina & Geese in Tekken 7. When I finally get T8, I'll try Reina. Reina got popular super fast. She hits hard like her papa. When I started dabbling I was a Heihachi main but he's no longer an option, I did try my hand at Jin for a little bit. My roommate is a King main. Haven't gotten 8 yet.

Chiral hypocrite tour 2k24: AEW doing evil authority figures and team breakup tropes that I bitched about elsewhere but now I'm like "HOLD ON LET THEM COOK" It helps that they haven't been doing these angles every other week for the last 25 years.
