I don’t think you’re entirely wrong but I think you’re overestimating how much your average fan gives a damn about AJ Styles and Bullet Club.

I cannot believe that in the year 2016 we’re still getting “you know it’s fake, right?”

I know I’m wasting my time replying to someone who’s never going to get it, but it’s a show. It’s not a sport and nobody will claim it is. W/L records matter a lot less than a well-told story with characters you care about.

You asked what makes someone “better.” I answered your question. This is what fans and promoters look for.

Skill at the athletics required, acting/storytelling, getting the desired reaction from the crowd, and so on. It’s like being more skilled at any other mode of performance.

This post: why people find online wrestling fans really annoying.

It’s also worth noting that after the Daisey fuckup they devoted an entire episode to talking about what went wrong, and even got Daisey on to try and explain (he failed). Errors happen, even big ones, but accountability is what matters.

Let’s Go St. Louis Cardinals

Big if true.

Ah yes, South Africa, that famous European country.

No, you’re the first one to tell us that a sport featuring a literal undead zombie and a backwoods cult leader, both of whom decided to become wrestlers for some reason, might not be 100% on the level. Thank you for opening our eyes.

Guess he’s a big fan of tasty sandwiches then.

Did you miss Herrera pointing to his head on the way off the field?

Even by stupid old-school standards, this should have been over after Lawrie got hit. Do the Royals really thing that a breaking ball to the foot was a purpose pitch? And then threatening a pitch to the head? More like the Kansas City Jesters.

Move into the car. MOVE INTO THE CAR. I PROMISE YOU WON'T MISS YOUR STOP. MOVE YOUR ASS AND STOP CREATING AN IMPENETRABLE BARRIER BY THE DOORS.

I like watching baseball. I don’t like watching guys fiddle with their batting gloves. Watch a game of the 80s, the pace difference is amazing.

The jobs of Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach were completely different. It makes no sense to rank them against each other.

Do you agree that "binge-watching" shows on DVD/Netflix destroys the suspense of waiting a week for the plot to advance? I've seen that argument elsewhere.
