18 APR 2024 · KOP talks about wrestling commentary on social media and how smug social media Followers can be praising WWE while bashing AEW and neglecting all other wrestling promotions.  **The Dynamic World of Pro Wrestling Commentary on Social Media: A Tale of Smug WWE Supporters and Critical Voices Against AEW** Pro wrestling has always been more than just a sport; it's a cultural phenomenon that thrives on spectacle, drama, and larger-than-life characters. And in today's digital age, the world of wrestling commentary has found a new battleground: social media. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit have become the virtual arenas where fans gather to share their opinions, discuss matches, and dissect storylines. However, within this online wrestling community, there exists a distinct divide between the supporters of WWE and AEW, often characterized by their attitudes and approaches to criticism. At the forefront of this digital discourse are the WWE loyalists, a group of fans who staunchly defend the world's largest wrestling promotion against any form of criticism. These supporters, often dubbed as "smug" by their detractors, take to social media with unwavering enthusiasm, championing WWE's product and dismissing any negative commentary as misguided or biased. To them, WWE represents the pinnacle of professional wrestling, and any challenges to its supremacy are met with a swift and often condescending rebuttal. One of the hallmarks of smug WWE supporters on social media is their tendency to downplay the achievements of rival promotions, particularly AEW (All Elite Wrestling). AEW, founded in 2019 by wrestling veterans Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks, has quickly emerged as a formidable competitor to WWE, offering an alternative product that emphasizes athleticism, storytelling, and fan engagement. However, despite its growing popularity and critical acclaim, AEW often finds itself under scrutiny from the WWE faithful. The criticisms leveled against AEW by smug WWE supporters range from accusations of inferior production values to claims of imitating WWE's established formula. They argue that AEW lacks the star power and global reach of WWE, and therefore cannot compete on the same level. Furthermore, they dismiss AEW's fanbase as a vocal minority, insisting that WWE remains the undisputed king of professional wrestling. On the other side of the digital divide are the vocal critics of WWE and staunch supporters of AEW. These individuals, often characterized by their passion for independent wrestling and disdain for WWE's corporate structure, view AEW as a breath of fresh air in an industry dominated by a single entity. They praise AEW for its innovative storytelling, diverse roster, and willingness to push boundaries. To them, AEW represents a much-needed alternative to the stale and formulaic product offered by WWE. They point to AEW's success in cultivating new talent and providing opportunities for wrestlers who may not fit the mold of a typical WWE superstar. Moreover, they argue that AEW's commitment to fan interaction and community engagement sets it apart from its more established counterpart. However, despite their enthusiasm for AEW, these critics are not immune to their own brand of smugness on social media. They often deride WWE's creative decisions, mock its outdated storytelling tropes, and dismiss its loyal fanbase as blind followers of a corporate machine. In their eyes, AEW represents a rebellion against the status quo, and anyone who dares to question its superiority is met with swift and often scathing criticism. In the end, the world of pro wrestling commentary on social media is a complex and multifaceted landscape, shaped by passionate fans with differing loyalties and perspectives. Whether you're a smug WWE supporter or a vocal critic of the establishment, one thing is certain: the debate rages on, fueled by the never-ending drama and spectacle of the world of professional wrestling.

11 APR 2024 · From WrestlingNews.co: The ALL IN footage aired tonight on AEW Dynamite. During the first half hour, they showed a countdown clock to remind fans to stick with the show. The segment aired just after 8:40 pm Eastern. The segment began with The Young Bucks sitting backstage. They mentioned that they would be facing FTR at Dynasty at the Tag Team Title tournament finals. Nick Jackson said ALL IN was the biggest show and match they have ever been part of. Matt said before the match there was an incident backstage that included the "scapegoat" in the situation, Jack Perry. Nick said the other individual tried to make the show about himself and maybe FTR were the masterminds behind the entire thing. Matt said he and Nick had to throw their EVP hats on during the aftermath. Matt said that the incident threatened to take down AEW's biggest show of all time but "We're lucky that it didn't." The video showed Punk and Perry face-to-face with personnel and wrestlers in the area. Punk shoved Perry and it was quickly broken up. The video ended with Punk walking off. FTR then walked out to the ring and cut a heated promo about The Bucks that seemed to be more like a worked shoot. They talked about putting the company on their back and wanting to move forward with or without The Bucks. This was all to promote Dynasty. We also comment on Ariel Helwani's post Wrestlemania comments where he states “Last night doesn’t happen…if not for AEW and Tony Khan. I hope they take great pride in that.” Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.com and click on Podcast Production Services.
