>>14970931I read a (comic) book on this. It was made by that feller what made the Andre the Giant comic that looked like Adventure Time. Their childhood imagination play was filled with WWE so WWE becomes their spot of warmth and safety. It is their nostalgia. And any affront to that nostalgia is an affront to their childhood and an affront to them personally. When you see people lash out at AEW, they're defending their nostalgia. When you see people lash out at WWE, they're mad the company has turned away from their personal nostalgic version of the company.
