Man, I don’t know, I feel like the turn this thread took in the last page or so is antagonistic. Not as bad as “your messiah, Tony,” but I’m not sure the route it’s going is productive or fair, either.

I don't think people wanting more POC focus in the main event scene or wanting a decent women's division is calling TK racist or sexist. I've never once seen anyone suggest TK is a pedophile though? Where on earth has that come from? People naturally talk more about negative subjects as there is more to talk about and people want to put across their own views on whatever subject and how they would like things different. You can't have a 15 page discussion on 'great show' 'enjoyed that angle'. There's not much left to say. (Basically what polarbearpete said, didn't read your post until after 😂) Nahhhhh, if people think wanting the main event scene to have more PoC and/or wanting the women's division to be better means "people think TK is racist and/or sexist because of this" then that's another discussion that needs to be had because those are two completely different things and that's showing a lack of understanding. I don't even know where that pedo stuff comes from either nor do I want to know.
This sub-forum is the same as the WWE one in that certain topics cause more controversy. People clown everywhere here. The AEW side has more discussion in the major weekly shows and usually controversy than the WWE side (we don't even have an NXT Ratings thread in the WWE side) so it makes sense that there'd be more comments here.

It’s weird, it’s like a lot of people think you have to despise “Tiny Con” for being a petulant child and daring to challenge the authority of the almighty WWE or absolutely worship the ground that the venerable messiah Tony Khan walks on, and no in between. Like, AEW is an awesome, but imperfect pro wrestling company, and Tony Khan is a likable, but sometimes thin-skinned and obnoxious owner are both perfectly valid opinions.

I just can't believe it's come to a head this hard over Tony Khan tweeting/trolling about ratings Like sometimes I wonder how we truly get here, the domino effects can be insane lol

The frustration with it all for me is this weird doom and gloom attribute that is thrown around when even the stupidest of trolls wouldn't actually think AEW is going anywhere right? The wrestling world has never actually been more secure by having someone with all of that net worth behind an alternative. Like as a wrestling fan it's insanely exciting to know that we are very likely never going back under one umbrella (unless Khan himself buys the other side) regardless if I like Tony Khan or not. That alternative alone is enough to peek my interest and makes me do double takes when people take everything so personal regarding it.

So let’s ignore everything somewhat negative and only discuss what we like? No, but I think he's pointing out that there's a line between valid criticism and bad faith arguments. I don't see an issue with calling out bad faith arguments as long as you're willing to actually point out the arguments that you consider to be bad faith, rolling up to drop a post like that and just leaving it open to interpretation what you are/aren't declaring to be bad faith arguments can result in the people making valid criticisms (which there are many of ITT) thinking that you're referring to them. Not at all conducive to a healthy discussion IMO

That alternative alone is enough to peek my interest and makes me do double takes when people take everything so personal regarding it. I think a lot of it is that most people on this forum also post/lurk elsewhere, and while this forum is generally pretty reasonable and grounded in its discussion of AEW, other larger forums like r/squaredcircle and Twitter are not. There are a LOT of people who genuinely seem to think that WWE dealt AEW a deathblow on Tuesday night on those forums. And there are a lot of people whose entire identity is trolling AEW for being “inferior” to WWE constantly. And then we come onto this forum and kind of vent about things that don’t happen as prevalently here.

I was going to say those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but then I realized Punk's house likely isn't made with real glass. It wasn't. I know this because, you see, I bought his house. Big deal, I bought his Haus.

Man, f*** Taker. I'll become an even bigger fan of TK if he continues to take shots at that dumbass. Before Matt Riddle existed I thought it would be impossible for any other wrestler to ever even approach the mantle of my all time least favorite wrestler. Cena though? Bad look. EDIT: I feel like I need to throw in that this post isn't serious, and I know that my dislike of the Undertaker is subjective. As a fellow long-time Taker Hater, I sympathise. It's hard out here for us. Accusations of not being a real wrestling fan, preached at about "locker room leaders" and shit. 🤜
The Undertaker is who made me a wrestling fan when I was 6 years old. When I saw him wrestle f***ing Kama Mustafa or whatever the Godfather was at the time.
Imagine my dismay when I got older and found out just what kind of person he is.
