Ariel also said this back in October. And even if you think WWE is/was better at the time, it's a pretty silly thing to call folks liars for thinking AEW had a better product.
“If you are saying right now with a straight face that the AEW product is better than the WWE product, you’re just a liar. You’re just an absolute liar. There’s no if, ands, or buts. The WWE product is infinitely better, infinitely more interesting, and there’s a freakin’ brawl happening backstage each and every week it seems. Meanwhile it’s all kumbaya on the [WWE] side of things. Like, if you’re gonna be a superfan be a superfan, but also tell it like it is. Six months ago wasn’t the case...but right this second, if you’re gonna sit here and say that it’s a better product, you’re an absolute liar.”

What did Ariel do for all the hate? Generally curious as I’m not in the know. Didn’t really know who this dude was until his Khan interview. I don't know much about him, but the WWE appearances this weekend and this thread have made me sick of him. Of course, I could just not keep checking this thread all the time... but you know...

Dude's not gonna risk a lawsuit and maybe a chance to bring Punk back later on just to spin gossip on an internal issue.

And Ariel just kept doubling down on Twitter like a whiny douche.
He got all up in his feelings when then-Sasha Banks wasn't an open book with him either.

Calling people liars for having different opinions from yours is a burning dumpster fire.

But yeah, he's TOTALLY unbiased.

Yeah, I'd hope everyoen can find that shitty and awful regardless of which direction it's coming in and going from. There's civil disagreement, there's heated disagreement, but the highest the temperature of the water goes in this place still falls pretty short of cussing anyone out or swearing curses onto bloodlines. And as pro-bloodline curse as I am, that's a good thing. But this is the kind of shit that if it gets said on a forum I'd expect a lot of "Well you're not gonna last long" responses from because "You're lying if you think this is better than this" is just such an innately hostile way to speak, and it's hostile not even to people, but to the idea of actually being around to have a conversation.

Ariel’s a tool of course, but is he really a wrestling reporter or just an MMA reporter?
I know he created wrestling content like interviews/podcasts but I’ve never really thought of him as reporting on wrestling in any real sense of the word.
Also, he did ask Triple H some questions about losing the Wednesday Night War and about whether he was removed from power because of it. He just didn’t ask about Vince’s sexual assaults.
