I always had a feeling that the amateur look of Dork Order was going to turn fans away from the product. Today I got a real life example of my hunch. I had a few cousins visiting from out of town. They are in early 30s. Used to watch WWE back in late 90s early 2000s. They stopped watching after that. Moved on to UFC. They know I'm a big wrestling fan and yesterday one of them mentions that they heard the AEW ppv was pretty good. I was surprised that they heard that... but I asked them if they wanted to watch Dynamite. They said sure they'll try watching it. The show starts and the first thing they see is Dork Order in the ring. They literally start laughing out loud at how lame they look. Within 20 seconds of the show starting I feel embarrassed and they literally grabbed the remote out of my hand and say "enough of that incel shit". Never been more humiliated to be a wrestling fan in my life.
