I legit know nothing about that era of WWE

 

[Chris]

did we ever find out what the heat was about? was it the haitch ?

Too skinny, thought he was better than everyone bc of his indie cred, not polite enough backstage, the usual shit. Last two even came out in AEW but I don't even rate them high bc too many other roster members have said how nice he is to them. If he's not mad at you already, I don't imagine he treats anyone badly, he just might be blunt or something and that puts people in their feelings

it is a bit ironic he felt that way about some young folks in AEW as well himself but that's just human nature of the old gen hating on the new gen

Wasn't it really just Hangman for this stuff? I think that goes back to Hangman had already pissed him off and you do get a different Punk when that happens

Something I find funny from looking at social media. The folks who normally laugh at stories from the dirt sheets, are eating up the whole Ace stuff, even tho that’s been walked back on(at least I believe Jeff said SRS retracted it) and also see them laughing at Punk for getting mad at the reporting. But when it’s someone they like then oh the reporter bad and wrestler good. Basically only negative reports are true to these idiots when it’s someone they already have a negative opinion about.

I think his only problem was specifically with Hangman saying he didn’t need to get advice from veterans, but I think someone else did say something generally about the young kids in AEW, but it wasn’t punk. I can’t remember if it was Mark Henry or Jericho or Billy Gunn.

There was actually a study recently about how many more clicks negative news gets compared to positive. It was higher for both WWE and AEW but the real difference was for whatever reason the positive AEW stories got way less traction, like no-one gives a fuck at all lol WWE was a bit more balanced I'd assume just bc WWE is way more popular in general so their stories get clicks regardless, but the negatives were still quite a bit higher

Regal, a bit taken out of context and he had to clarify though bc he didn't even mean it as a jab and everyone took it as one. But he did basically say there weren't as many people looking for advice from him as he expected, they just ran with it as "no one respects regal" and he was like the fuck?

its not even a new study tbh (this one u mentioning obv is) but it used to be:

If it Bleeds, it Leads

 

[Comrade Khan]

gonna get a little political but this is what happens when reporting the news (any news) if for profit and not for informing.

 

[Wiseman]

I mean controversy creates cash has been a saying forever.

I do find myself actually more likely to click on a negative sorry myself than a positive one. But I take all of them with a grain of salt unless there’s something backing it up
