You're Watching Wrestling Wrong: Here's Why You're a Dumbass for Enjoying a Thing That Makes You Happy

Sucks that I have to be here when I could be tracking updates on Redemption ticket sales, determining which quarter of Dynamite was worst for the demo, or generally ruining my hobby for myself and others online.

It isn’t too late to save AEW by building the company around Hulk Hogan.

[bad-aew-discourse]

To truly succeed, AEW must do more of the things that their fans find offputting about WWE.

Absolutely disgusting for Thekla to wear on national television the gloves she uses to artificially inseminate Clark Connors. Kids are going to end up dead trying this stuff at home.

Is Kevin Knight too heterosexual to challenge for the AEW Men's Championship?

[bad-aew-discourse]

So sick of the tribalism in wrestling. Oh, so it's "okay" for AEW to run a show in Chicago on September 26, 2026, but if WWE runs a show in Chicago on September 26, 2026, it's "short-sighted" and "counterprogramming" and "emblematic of WWE's monopolistic tactics from the 1980s" just because the "Big Bad Fed" is doing it??

I support WWE running a AAA show opposite All In because it's the type of short-lighted, limited-gains decision that makes capitalism great!

[bad-aew-discourse]

#it’s All Out not All In <prev Wait.

So, first AEW moved their "biggest show of the year" from August to September.

Then, they moved it from London to Chicago.

And now they have changed the name from All In to All Out?

This company is so cooked 🤣🤣😂

Absolutely disgusting that Tony Khan has brainwashed Gabe Kidd into stopping his G1 Climax matches to say "AEW ichiban." New Japan has to get out of this abusive "partnership."

[bad-aew-discourse]

Before you criticize WWE for running a AAA show in the same town on the same night as All Out, consider that AEW could prevent this from happening by simply not having shows.

[bad-aew-discourse]

Why isn't Tony Khan moving All Out away from Chicago now that WWE is putting on a show on there the same day? Or better yet, why isn't he canceling the show all together?

It's because Tony Khan is a petty money mark who is bad at business. Obviously, it's foolish for Tony Khan to try counter-programming against WWE, but it's extra disgusting when WWE is trying to bring lucha libre to the United States for the first time. Just an absolutely awful business move from Tony Khan.

Over the past year, fans have fretted over AEW PPV cards being "disappointing" on paper, only for AEW to deliver one of the most incredible strings of satisfying, high quality shows in history. However, glancing at AEW Redemption's card, we can say for certain that now is the time to hand-wring and brace ourselves for The Death of AEW.

[bad-aew-discourse]

With AEW still needing to sell tickets at Wembley for All In, jobbing England to Argentina was terrible booking.

[bad-aew-discourse]

If enjoying wrestling is womanly and childish, maybe men shouldn’t watch anymore? Idk it just sounds like it isn’t MEANT for adult men y’know? :/

🤔🤔🤔 No, that doesn't sound right. Why would someone make something that isn't for me? (I am straight and male btw).

[bad-aew-discourse]

Is AEW using Kenny's win and Willow's return to distract from the fact that Darby Allin has easy access to dangerous explosives and has no issue using them against other people?

100%. Darby Allin can't handle that his title reign was an absolute failure (that's why they took the belt off him so fast), so now he's doing vandalism and attempted murder, but Tony Khan is too weak of a leader to control his locker room. Guarantee this unprofessionalism is what pushed Big Cass out of the company.
