The only one I find annoying is Noid because he literally thinks he's the main character of all life. XRod is humorous to me.

I don’t feel like this covers me. I watch more WWE than AEW every week, and feel like I’m quite “even” in my criticism of the product.

Also, can’t agree with your last assessment. Noid can be a blowhard but his criticisms of AEW hold water a lot of the time. He loses me by going “too far the other way” to create “balance” in the argument. However, he does form his own opinion (usually) and contributes his own thoughts.

On the other hand, xrod spends a lot of time reposting crap from Twitter and Reddit, neither of which are platforms I care for, and making exceptional reaches to criticise Tony Khan and/or Punk. Like, there is a decent amount of stuff you can legitimately criticise AEW for (too much garbage wrestling, too much blood, etc), that you shouldn’t need to reach that far.

That said, it’s his prerogative to do all of that, and if it brings him joy, let it be.
