Also a quick skim of the guy's Twitter tells me that while he is mainly a wwe fan, he is fairly objective and unafraid to criticize them. And when he does mention aew, it's mostly positive.

Guy just likes what he likes, and makes no attempt to drag down the stuff he's not into. Far cry from the "aew hater" he's being made out to be. Actually seems like a pretty nice guy. I might follow him.
You cannot say anything out of line with the “AEW is taking over” narrative. People will say you can and make all sorts of excuses as to why they attack you, but it absolutely happens. There are obviously going to be nutters on each side, but anyone who tells you that it’s “freaking out” to make even a trivial correction is not being intellectually honest about the whole thing.

People want to take ownership of things they enjoy sometimes. I desperately want wrestling to not be shitty too. That’s almost natural. But when they take ownership and feel that being threatened, they go absolutely nuts. Its theirs and they will fight for it if you don’t put it on a pedestal. That’s when it gets fun, because there is no reasonable place for these people to go but insults, fake accounts or a holier-than-thou attitude.

And yeah, I know I present myself as an arrogant ass on here too. That’s because I believe in my opinions and try as best I can to line them up with facts. That’s what’s really threatening to some people. Reality is the harshest cure to fantasy sometimes.
