I didn't say it was over the top, it just seemed you got really annoyed or bothered by my initial comment, as if it was directed at you when it wasn't. Look what would be the point of you explaining anything when it will likely be you talking down to me in the process (not saying you WILL do that, but it will likely come across to me like that). I been watch wrestling on and off for close to 25 years or so. In that time I have seen how most WWF/WWE fans react to any competition, they crap on it. Saw it with WCW, ECW (even with the working relation ship they had with WWE), and TNA. It is always the same. When the competition does something, these hardcore WWF/WWE fans say its crap, but when the WWE does it, man its great. I'm seeing that with AEW and WWE now. The way HHH is booking WWE now (or at least so far) is incredibly similar to AEW. Yes I know he booked NXT like this in the past. I'm not say AEW booking is perfect (it isn't), but the people saying that don't even watch in most cases and are saying it mostly because of blind loyalty to the WWE, the same loyalty that I have seen for 20 plus years. That is where my hypocrisy comment came from, that was all I was saying, don't really need any elaboration on why you or others think the AEW storytelling is bad or not. |
The thing is they're really not that similar. They're definitely more similar than under Vince, but incredibly similar is a huge stretch. It's like, chicken pizza is closer to pepperoni pizza than mushroom pizza is, but it's still very different, so that someone who dislikes pepperoni pizza might enjoy a chicken slice or vice versa with no hypocrisy involved.
So, unless you have examples of people specifically saying they disliked AEW because of long term storytelling and then saying yay WWE for long term storytelling, you're just kind of manufacturing hypocrisy. More likely WWE fans said they didn't like the storylines AEW did, but are enjoying the stories WWE is now doing.
