>>12585774I say it with a bit of sadness because wrestling is the only form of fictional, narrative entertainment that can match (or even exceed) the excitement of live sports. Wrestling is the only medium where a crowd going apeshit from start to finish contributes to a higher overall quality. It's also sad because AEW's founding couldn't been timed any better. Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins were drawing 90% vacant crowds from 2018-2019. Everybody was shitting on WWE for very good reason. All In 2018 proved that there was legitimate momentum for an alternative if not an outright rival to Vince's empire.
Then Tony came in, made his own autistic, lolcow ass the protagonist of his fed and squandered a golden opportunity to end a monopoly. That opportunity may never present itself again. You really could not have fucked it up more perfectly than he did. Almost makes you think it was by design. I'd feel worse about the situation if it wasn't so fun to laugh at Tony and his retarded simps.
