Yea there were fans that went to a meet n greet and got mjf for keeping keyfabe and complained to Tony khan he’s being mean and he threw a wwe belt on the ground he’s a monster lol
That’s how you know you’re doing something right if people fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book and think you’re actually crazy and not doing a work.
Honestly, all social media has gotten dumber. Twitter just has presented an option for all the absolute worst takes to be featured at the top of a thread of comments. Most likely these people are just farming likes through hollow engagement though.
Better than the days when fans would try to stab wrestlers they thought were actually evil. I'd say the fans are actually getting better, by that metric.
@@pooldead7712 I'm sure Olé Anderson, Killer Kowalski, and Roddy Piper had a part to play in that. Fans getting all stabby isn't a good time for anyone.😅
@@SkunkApe407 There's a difference. Back in the day, fans cared enough to do something. Fans today only care to be offended on the internet. Also, back in the day, everything was more believable because it had to be. Wrestling today goes out of it's way to tell you that it's a work and everything is a show. So if anything "scary" happens, people freakout about it.
Non Wrestling Fans: Damn he should be locked up Me after seeing Mick Foley get smacked over the head with a chair a over a dozen times and finish the match: they just did that for likes on Twitter
@ The reason it think it’s non wrestling fans cause he just had a story about doing the Tiger Driver that legit looks like it might mess some one up 100 times more then what ever was done in the clip 😂😂
As if memorizing things qualifies you for anything lmao. There are people out there with said diploma, that couldn't find their way out of a 5 square mile forest after you gave them a map, gps and compass, with the instructions which direction is the fastest way out.
Twitter is the only social media platform that isn’t controlled by the far left. It’s no wonder you left wing lunatics can’t handle it. Probably love the far left echo chamber threads though LOL
Nah, WWE marks didn't complain about that because it happened on their show, they are complaining about Will because they were watching the show they didn't like, aka it gave them something to cry about!
Here's a list of things that have happened in Pro Wrestling Man had his dog killed and served to him Man got whacked in the head with a steel chair while handcuffed Man had testicles electrocuted Man was thrown from the top of a cell Man was thrown through the roof of a cell Woman was made to bark like a dog on live TV Man was put into a casket which was set on fire Man was drowned in Cement Man was repeatedly buried alive Man was pushed off the titantron screen Man had his child indoctrinated by a cult leader Man was lashed with a singapore cane repeatedly Y'know what, just all of ECW actually Man was pushed off a building Man was thrown off a building And *This* is where modern fans draw the line?
Don't forget, "One legged man in a wheelchair gets thrown down a flight of stairs." Though, in all fairness, that's just kayfabe; from my understanding it was actually a stuntman who took that particular bump for Zach Gowan. But the guy "drowned" in cement was a stuntman as well, so, tomato tomato lol.
I think the thing missing from the Death Riders for me is that they haven't really stated their terms. The best we've got is "we wanna do what we wanna do" which, OK is probably beat people up, but what people? Why? What qualities do they dislike? Where do they stand? They're so close to being amazing and the best work of Mox's career. I think understanding their purpose would help some of us divided fans.
Pretty sure that exact clip went viral once before and people also thought it was real. It's good that "it's still real to me dammit" works on people, but also it shows just how smart people are...
I mean he is doing his part as a wrestler making you think it's actually real, twitter is a weird and toxic place, where people think their opinions really matters.
What? People on Twitter / X taking things out of context and creating an angry mob mentality? No I refuse to believe it. On a serious note this is exactly why I would never join that toxic platform.
I really hope that orange Cassidy will get a hangman style story where he loses but comes back a year from now to beat his biggest foe and the man "ruining" the company in mox
Well, this is the first time I was aware that Mad Kurt passed away a year ago nearly, I used to watch him perform wrestling moves on his brother on Tiktok, I cant believe he died
Speculation on my part, but I don't think The Outrunners have a chance of winning the AEW Tag Titles, for the simple fact that they aren't listed on AEW's roster page and never got an All Elite graphic.. so they aren't fully signed and are basically on like tier 1 or tier 2 deal. If they were signed to AEW as full time roster members then I could see it being possible.
A lot of this is mostly Blue Checks being purposely obtuse for engagement. This is why Twitter is cooked and Bluesky is up. Shouldn't have even bothered with this as a "story" but that's just me.
I agree with Adam, this is a good reminder that wrestling isn't as mainstream as we sometimes like to think it is inside our little bubble. Some people just get worked. But also let's not even get started on the fact that post that started all this was grossly clickbaiting in the first place
Some of y’all are acting like this DOESNT LOOK legit. Sure as fans we can tell the difference but are you actually shocked that non-fans saw this and were horrified? To an untrained eye it DOES look legit. If I showed this to my girlfriend she’d be disgusted. Isn’t that the whole point of wrestling? To look believable? Y’all who are trashing viewers who were uncomfortable with this are so goofy. That’s the intention. In the same breath you’re all upset that silly wrestling moves like the stink face give wrestling a bad rep. Wrestling should seem legit to untrained eye. People should see this and think Osprey is a violent man. He was a heel, and that was the goal. 😂
The funniest thing to me about this is how many people commenting on that and believed it to be "off script" are probably also the ones who are like "wrestling's fake, none of what they do even looks real."
Honestly, the headline for this had me search for the video and it gave me a very welcome laugh. Twitter might be dying, but things like this are a reminder of how brilliant it used to be.
the fact we had to break kayfabe and put up a community note for that spot is crazy I'm not an AEW guy nor am I into Ospreay, but this kind of reaction is wildin lmao
@@wwesucks-q9othis is the way. Wrestler leaves WWE: "boo, wasn't talented anyways. Couldn't cut it in the big leagues" Same wrestler returns to WWE: "what a get!"
Because it was in a honeymoon period, that's why people's judgement, etc, will be distorted because it was new and different to the American audience. This reaction that Will has gotten it exactly what they need because it has worked everyone
No? Pretty much since the first show there’s been backlash a lot fair and a lot from people who either don’t want another company to succeed or trolls. Same with WWE I don’t think they’ve ever done a show where someone hasn’t whined about what they’ve done even long before the internet existed. Unfortunately people just like to moan, complain and cry
The TV-14 show centered around people fighting each other, oftentimes with weapons, is supposed to be "family entertainment"? I don't even like AEW but that was an absurd comment 😂
I was in wrestling from 97-2001(got seriously hurt). So, not only are the workers soft today, but these fans now call for Ospreay to goto jail? They don’t get that even if this was legit, we all sign waivers, it used to be a rough business, but of course you have these betas that cannot take pain. Here’s a thought, fight back, if you don’t, you’ll never make it. I think this all started with the betas whining about Bill Demont, I was trained by a military veteran who was in the WWWF(later WWF and WWE), he also trained “All Ego” Ethan Page, and he was hard on us.
Apparently "momentum" is consistently breaking record low viewership & attendance numbers by the week. I want to be clear, I don't begrudge anyone loving AEWs TV. If you love what AEW is doing, amazing, happy for you. What I do begrudge is the incessant, let's be frank, lying, that AEW is "thriving" or that their product is "hot". AEW has no momentum, dynamite viewership has halved in the last 12 months & is currently consistently doing Collision numbers and only getting lower. & that's post Punk Collision numbers. The only momentum AEW has is downward momentum driving their own viewers away with their TV. And not casual fans, AEW hasn't had "casual" fans since 2022. These are hardcore AEW wrestling fans that are leaving this show. If the downward trend continues, by this time next year there is a very real possibility that dynamite could be averaging 200,000 viewers a week. Not hyperbole, that is what the pattern of their viewership numbers for the last 2 years suggest.
People still getting worked in 2024 is amazing.
Yea there were fans that went to a meet n greet and got mjf for keeping keyfabe and complained to Tony khan he’s being mean and he threw a wwe belt on the ground he’s a monster lol
@ classic MJF hahaha

Yep. Being a bad guy is somehow wrong and too far compared to murdering your own family these days

Will should still be arrested for stealing our American Hero, MJF's title.
Social media has destroyed the fun of watching wrestling
Wrestling Twitter is a cesspool of stupidity and toxicity
Twitter in general has been a cesspool lately.
Lately? It's been that way for years now. Probably over a decade.

Social media ruins wrestling. If it bothers you that bad, don't watch it. No one is forcing these softies to watch.
It’s not really social media that’s not ruining wrestling. It’s the bad side fans and gatekeeping to be honest
@@gamingforgeeks5619 gatekeeping what?!
"We don't have any news", graphical representation:
Ospreay vs Fletcher will be match of the night. Or Ricochet vs Takeshita
This era of the iwc would complain every week about the attitude era

FTR to turn heel on the outrunners

How is it doing to be any different? It's still just people using social media.
It's always been a cesspool. Kids like Andrew, politically buased, and moron think it's only gotten bad since Musk bought it.
@DKCG0113 From what I know, it differs in the type of people who use the service.
