>>5928263That’s exactly my point. They’re pseudo smarks, they don’t actually know what they’re seeing in the ring but they know the NJPW names and will cheer them dutifully. They are terrified of being found out as dumb ignorant fans, so they will cheer and fantasy book talent all day long.
>>5928305Yeah pretty much. A money mark convinced a guy on a hot streak and his indyriffic friends to help found a fed stateside but the most vocal fans of Omega and crew weren’t NjPW fans… they were jilted ex-wwe fans, just like most of the more obnoxious Impact, ROH, PWG, etc. fans. They barely care about their own product, they just want to beat wwe.
I was so happy to see them get tired of NJPW and follow Omega out. They were insufferable, almost as bad as the marks that refuse to see Naito lose. The Forbidden Door is one-way, only AEW fans want it.
