>>16739348wrestling discussion on 4chan has primarily been centered around WWE. this is in contrast to 420chan, a more niche imageboard, which had a popular professional wrestling board long before 4chan did, where they mostly discussed fittingly more niche wrestling, like TNA, japanese and mexican promotions, american indies, and territory era and earlier material. and, eventually AEW.
420chan shut down not long after /pw/ was created, about a year. this led a lot of posters from there to migrate here - this influx of posters primarily looking to discuss "the competition," coinciding with a downturn in AEW's quality and an upturn in WWE's, created a lot of friction on the board, and seems to have activated schizophrenia in a lot of people.
personally i think console warring and taking up for your favorite wrestling company like it's a part of your identity is beyond fucking gay. roleplaying as a suit like you care about ratings and quarterly earnings is beyond deranged. the ultimate mark behavior.
