Also kind of telling in how Forbes only really talked to one of the EVPs, and didn't mention the other 3 at all. Almost as if, deep down, they know that Omega and the Bucks don't have the mainstream appeal that folks like to sell them as having. If there was anything to the issues between the EVPs, that'd be the one way Cody would beat them out, actually having some media training. Also, outside of Cassidy (who doesn't really stand out as objectively terrible just with an 8x10), most of the more cringe elements of the program were wisely kept out of view and not elaborated on.
The AEW Twitter has just recently retweeted and article that says “Look out Vince, AEW is going to threaten your local stronghold” or something. It’s just groan-inducing at this point. And I didn’t even object to the sledgehammer at Double or Nothing. But come on, guys — you’re currently getting <500k viewers on a Friday night. WWE does better than that averaged out over 3 hours with a show that is generally regarded as terrible. And that’s their 2nd priority show.

I did notice that outside of Orange Cassidy, they used shots of talent that were actually...talented. I’m convinced they know the best foot forward. They know what works and what doesn’t. They’re just as stubborn as that shitty company they keep taking shots at. They want to get their friends into position and they don’t care if people like their content or not.

It honestly is like community theatre, in that you know what is good and what isn’t, but if you acknowledge the shit stuff instead of applauding effort and intention, and just accept that the *idea* of pro-wrestling is what should be complimented, then you’re a raging asshole who isn’t with this “artistic movement.”

But everyone has to know this isn’t really good, right?
