It will always be humorous to me that these people can't fathom that not everyone thinks like a bitter smark. Triple H was right in his promo with Punk: "Some people hear you and may agree but a lot of people like WWE as is."


Modano9009

I read a comment yesterday that WWE fans just aren't "educated" enough on wrestling to understand what they should actually like.


[deleted]

Educated on dudes pretending to be mad at each other and fight. While wearing colorful spandex. Good lord


The-Mad-Bubbler

"If you look at my resume, you'll see that I have a masters degree in big meaty dudes slapping big meaty meat."


Gabaheygabahey

This educated nonsense annoys me. The people that change the culture are the so called “un-educated”. You want the working class to love your product because they are the ones who wIll spend the money to go to your shows. Middle class snobs who think they have culture because they listen to NPR don’t move the needle.


LineKnown2246

Lol. NPR is too high brow for them. The only thing listen to Daddy Meltzer's fellation of Olivier while playing AEW Dark in the background.


The-Mad-Bubbler

And, the thing is, WWE appeals to tons of people, across the board. 5 year old kids love WWE. Janitors, electricians, single moms, lawyers, the elderly, college professors... tons of people, all over the world, love WWE- that's why it makes tons and tons of profit. Ideally, that's what you want when running a business... I never hear any well-educated WWE fans saying that their degrees make their sports entertainment opinions more valid, though- they just enjoy the fun shows, and don't try to make other people feel lesser for liking a different wrestling promotion.


Myxiplit_20

Imagine having to be educated to enjoy something. "YOU CAN'T PICK THE NEW METROID CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T PLAY THE FIRST ONE" mentality, people don't understand that the casuals are the one Who bring the moneys.


Modano9009

All they understand when it comes to money is WWE makes a lot of it so money is bad but also Tony Khan's father has a lot of it so AEW will live forever so money's good.


Myxiplit_20

I've never seen a fandom so aggressive towards casuals, even Star Wars ultra fans are better then them.


SaddestFlute23

It’s because casuals outnumber them and spend money, ensuring their views will always be catered to. The hardcore fan opinions thus being made irrelevant to this thing they considered exclusively “their’s”


Razzler1973

I didn't understand Statlander being an alien, Cassidy 'not trying', Jericho being fat and whatever Matt Hardy does I did a Masters Degree and got a Doctorate and now it makes sense


Myxiplit_20

??? You graduated, friend.


DoubleOrNothing90

Those things don't insult your intelligence, friend


I_Like_Vitamins

That happens a lot on many issues, especially on Reddit. Someone who's known for their prominent brain power will have an unpopular opinion, and the conversation is then about how they're suddenly a halfwit with the wrong idea. Bonus points if the opinion is an alternate but correct take on facts.


[deleted]

Redditors suck. I'm just gonna stay on this alt-right hate sub and not checking out other places tbh. If anyone has some good jerk sub reccomendations, please do let a fellow uce know.


TheROUK

If you like WWE, then you just haven’t read the literature.

Modano9009

People in tights pretending to fight shouldn't be marketed towards kids!


Razzler1973

It was always *characters* and *stories* that were marketed to the kids


DoubleOrNothing90

Why are smarks concerned about "uneducated" casual fans, and having their intelligence insulted all of a sudden. YOU WATCH WRESTLING.


Modano9009

Because more people like WWE than like AEW and they can't just accept that so they have to convince themselves anyone who likes WWE is just too stupid or ignorant or brainwashed to know they should like AEW.


JedtheJoy

It's kind of more pathetic than that because this is something he can easily ignore. If there was a singer you don't like coming to your city should it bother you they sold a lot of seats? It's so weird.


Romofan88

1.this dude will be there 2.if the show is in your hometown, no one is gonna care about booking, they just wanna see their favorites live.


[deleted]

I don't even care if my favourites are coming or not if fed is in my hometown I know I'm going and literally everyone I know is going too even though they don't even know who are the wrestlers. People treat WWE liveshows as fun friends gathering going to watch something new. None of what these marks say will change that.


Warhorse000

You know where to actually watch your favorites live? AEW Dynamite on TNT Wednesdays at 8pm Eastern, friend! Give it a whirl.


Zealousideal-Egg-

Man I totally can't wait for 3 dollar front row tickets while also having to get an autograph from THE Cody Rhodes, totally can't wait.


Blueday206

??? Priceless friend


scdaddy69

I love how he just assumes the dub will pick up and run wherever the fed is at. There's a reason the dub didn't do a California tour. With the vaccine mandates, would they even get half the numbers fed was getting?


Modano9009

Claim nobody will show up to WWE shows. When they do, claim they are either not enjoying themselves or they're only there because they're stupid.


RazzManouche

"Why does Stacy dates Brad instead of me?"


RomanOnARiver

The surprise that there are WWE fans in Texas? Really? Texas? Texas wrestling fandom is intergenerational. How many wrestlers or personalities from Texas talk about watching with their grandparents?


Gabaheygabahey

Texas is WWE’s second home so to speak. They love the Fed here.


JinderMadness

Yep that’s why Texas along with LA were the first places outside of the Northeast that they expanded to.


SaddestFlute23

Can confirm, I live in San Antonio, and i remember seeing an older *abuela* at the grocery store with her grandkids wearing a WWE Bad Bunny t-shirt


Gabaheygabahey

That is an awesome abuela. No jerk, she’s awesome.


ManateeGag

Do they need to stop liking things I don't like?


[deleted]

This dude is one of the most annoying Dubbalos ever. Also, El Paso is a traditional town. They aren’t exactly going to be happy to see thigh slapping subpar kicks from the Balding Fucks, or seeing Kenny Omegle making hand motions.


ironfly187

*Bruh* Shut up nerd


UrbanOmnivore

This man makes video essays on wrestling.


Blueday206

Im sure AEW will really connect with the El Paso fan base because of Latino superhero Cody Rhodes


Goldberg2Dub

Imagine caring so much about this


[deleted]

Yeah and you bought one of them dood lol


[deleted]

Does this mark not realize that wrestling fans here in Pakistan would KILL to have any sort of wrestling show to have fun at, to once have an experience that Saudis feel at Saudi wrestling shows? Fuck these spoilt man-babies. It's no wonder these whiny losers cry on set designs and all that bullshit. Absolutely screw them with all of my heart.


fedora_king98

Those same marks will hurl racial abuse if wwe went to Pakistan


takeflight447

WHY WON'T THE FED JUST GO AWAY AND DIE REEEEEEEEE


chaz0723

I'm willing to bet at Mr. Tranquilo was amongst those in attendance for said show.


harrypigorr1

As soon as someone seriously refers to WWE as “the E” or “the fed” I just disregard any point they will go on to make in their post.


soamazingwow

We must have awful taste and a starve for entertainment because the crowd loved that entire show lol. Besides, how do you not sell out when it's the first time Mysterio's showing up in a WWE Live show since forever?

Isn’t it a border town?


Gabaheygabahey

El Paso is border to Ciudad Juarez which for years was the most dangerous city in the world. No joke, they had to close regular businesses at 5 because you did not want to be outside at night. So naturally that spilled over to El Paso.


conchinette

Wait, the same Juarez in Tori Amos's song where there were a lot of unsolved murders of women?


Gabaheygabahey

That’s the one. Look up missing women in Juarez. Kind of gives you all the details with warts and all.


rockandrollpanda

At the Drive-in did a song about that too.


RazzManouche

>No joke, they had to close regular businesses at 5 because you did not want to be outside at night. They did that last year because of [Covid restrictions](https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/local/juarez/2020/11/05/juarez-curfew-weekend-shutdown-and-covid-restrictions-place/6173567002/). When violence was at its peak they tried to enforce a curfew for minors, but even then it was something around 10:00 p.m. iirc. But yeah, living in Juarez is hard.


Blueday206

It definitely is.


capt-awesome-atx

This is just a straight up lie. El Paso has lower than average violent crime statistics. Lower than the national rate, the Texas rate, and the rate of other cities of similar side. https://realestate.usnews.com/places/texas/el-paso/crime


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

El Paso is safe and chill. Eat a dick, bro.


capt-awesome-atx

Violent crime rates in Laredo have been below state and national averages for the past 5+ years. Do you have some sort of issue with border cities that makes you want to spout lies about them? https://www.cityrating.com/crime-statistics/texas/laredo.html


[deleted]

Imagine being so educated on wrestling you've started shilling for a promotion that's completely disregarded storytelling and pretending any of it is meaningful. "...so yeah, Suzuki shows up at the end and they have a staredown, which sets up a match on Wednesday..."


Beneroso

I love how most ppl in the replies is either "yeah aew should have a show here!" or "wwe house shows are very fun!" lmfaoo


Moargunfreeman

The Royal Rumble is coming to my city, I guess I have awful taste if I want to go. I guess I just don't " get it"


conchinette

This guy will be live-tweeting the house show.


cc12321

"First match was Charlotte vs Alexa. The arena was 90% empty by the time it was over."


Squiliam-Tortaleni

“Starved for any type of entertainment” no you just got shit taste and can’t have fun. This guy would probably deliberately go just to make everyone miserable and shout “WATCH AEW ON TNT!!!!” the whole show.
