Is it just me, or has TK basically mailed things in creatively (moreso than usual) until Punk could return?

Garcia has been featured a lot on AEW. Multiple main events. Strong is supposed to be a big free agent, just beat Jericho. There's zero reason they should lose THAT many viewers.

Oh wait, it's because wrestling in general is the most uncool shit ever now. It's so fucking uncool. The point of the wrestling business is to GET OVER, so you can MAKE MONEY. Whats the definition of being OVER? To make the people want to be you. That's what being over is. When wrestling was hot, top guys looked like top guys. If I went down the street and showed a random guy a picture of Austin, or Rock, or Hall, or Nash, etc..they'd wanna be that guy. On the same token, if I showed a picture of said guys to a random woman on the street and asked said woman would you bang him, they'd most likely say yeah, he's hot.


What fucking guy wants to be Roderick Strong or Daniel Garcia? What woman wants to fuck Roderick Strong or Daniel Garcia? That viewership drop just encapsulates everything wrong with the wrestling business today. Two fucking geeks who look like they haven't seen titties since they were breast fed doing wrestling moves to each other. THAT is why a wrestling company owned by a billionaire with primetime TV is now struggling to get 800,000 viewers. It's a total fundamental misunderstanding of what the wrestling business is supposed to be. Its fucking FAKE. No one but the nerdiest of nerds gives a fuck about how many stars your match gets and how many moves you do. It isnt Japan. American audiences dont look at it like a sport. They will always want over the top characters and drama filled storylines. And don't get me wrong, WWE is almost as bad. Gargano, and Bronson Reed, and on and on, I mean what the fuck.


Anyways, just had to let that out. I feel better.
