That IoShirai4Ever account is the absolute worst. The person behind it is a massive bigot, and also an incredibly vocal fan of Trump. They also place themselves on a pedestal because Io followed the account a couple of months ago, because of the fan posts.
I was listening to Matt Richard's podcast, apparently Session Moth is another wrestling massive Metal Gear Solid stan, Snake Eater is her fave
Jay looks like Shia LeBouf doing his best "I'm not here right now" coping.
I'm actually curious if this is leading to another gaming channel (besides UUDD), or something more liveblog oriented.
She was posting about that recently on her instagram stories in a Q&A. Good taste.
Listening to yesterday's Wrestling Observer Radio Q&A and Dave is saying that Jericho has been reading the Observer since the early 90s and emails him for a copy if he forgets his physical copy to read on flights.
i mean you can hate on the comment all you want but when you have kenny omega and others on your roster and you lead into your tv tapings with the guy you most likely want to headline your company in the future where wins n loses mean the most apprantly and hes lost twice already and you have a old guy as your champ yea i can see the complaints.
In Corbin's defense it's not like anyone in this thread was into Jericho being the first champ beyond "he's a known name, makes sense"
Which...is totally WWE booking

Well, yeah, wins and losses matter has been their mantra, and how have they gone against that? That would be the case if they made Omega the #1 contender despite the losses, or they decided on someone being the #1 contender because he attacks the champion, or the champion chooses him because he's charismatic, or whatever other dumb, random reason we see. We see no indication that will be the case. All of the title contenders thus far have gotten there by some form of merit.
I don't get what the big deal about Omega losing a couple matches matters anyway. This is a scripted, pre-determined simulated sport. They could have Kenny go on a five match run and suddenly he's 6-2 in singles and that looks impressive. In real sports, teams sometimes get off to rocky starts before they go on a run. The defending Stanley Cup champions were in last place like halfway into the season. There's no reason to believe they're not going to put Omega on a run and most likely the losing will play into his overall story arc.
If Jericho doesn't have a relatively short title reign that has a hot face, whether it's Omega or Moxley, chasing him and taking the title from him, I'll get the complaints then, but I highly doubt they go in a direction where a past his prime Jericho is standing at the top for the long-term. You think back to early TNA, the problem wasn't so much Jeff Jarrett being champion, it was that he was always champion.
IMO, AEW has been a huge breath of fresh air and if you let the fact that their champion is old, or that one of their top stars has dropped a couple matches (to other prominent members of the roster, mind you) overshadow everything else, then I don't know what to tell you. And frankly, if Omega did win all of his matches, you're going to have people complain that one of the EVPs is being booked as unbeatable.
I wouldnt say that is specifically WWE booking. More just wrestling booking in general.
I'd post in this thread, but I'm afraid of permanently injuring my brain doing something stupid in the middle of writing a post to no reaction.

The thing to remember about comparing aew to wwe in regards to jericho being champ is that aew is new and unknown to most fans and so using someone who is very well known and can still be good in the ring (especially with a good opponent) makes much more sense then established company wwe pushing old wrestlers that should have retired years ago just in the hopes of drawing in 100,000 lapsed fans for a week to make their failing ratings look not as bad momentarily.
Its comparing apples to oranges and more importantly it made sense booking wise wheree as wwe will just throw people together for the pop with no logical build up or follow through.

Reporting dogshit transphobes on Twitter is my new favorite and most rewarding hobby so I will read the comments and then do the LORD'S WORK.
Unfortunately I doubt twitter cares considering how long those comments have been there already.
This. It also helps to establish direction for a midcard belt that simply isn't "midcard belt".
Why does Jay White look like a wax statue of Jay White?
Whenever I get back the 'update on Tweet you reported' indicating they took action it feels worth it. If I complete 10 reports and 1 transphobe gets banned I will complete 10 reports.
Jericho is on tv every week. All the people WWE bring back arent. It's not that hard to understand
Weolds can still go damn it.
Impressive she must have some sort of background or emi is a wizard.
Ehh as much as I enjoy AEW and Jericho as champ people definitely let things slide that they do when they heavily criticize wwe for it
