I've been reading too much wrestling on Twitter today because i'm genuinely starting to like the idea they're throwing around of fucking Jinder beating Seth tomorrow, only for Priest to cash in afterwards

lol right. Especially TK tweeting about Jinder.

He tweeted about the booking more than he did about Jinder tbh.

 

[John_69]

He was literally referring to Jinder tbh.

The point is, it could’ve been anyone who’s had his booking and it be the same thing.. and it’s all because people were saying what has Hook done to deserve a title match. He was making a point. Hook wins and Jinder doesn’t (again booking) so what has JINDER done to deserve one? You see? It’s talking about the BOOKING. It just happens to be Jinder who’s booking it is..

Yes. You proved my point. He’s asking where the outrage is over the BOOKING. Thank you for helping me prove that.

Ok so booking it is but he’s literally trying to start shit online because he’s a big time promoter that’s childish enough to whine and complain online because his product sucks.

Well we’re not gonna get into all that, because I enjoy AEW and you don’t, so it would be pointless. I just was saying he wasn’t shitting on Jinder. So enjoy your day my man.

The other part he tweeted was the unnecessary bit. It was definitely big "mick foley putting butts in seats" energy

I mean I definitely agree it wasn’t needed. Even said as much in the tweet thread that he needs to put his phone down. Everyone here pretty much agrees with that. People are just missing the fact it could’ve been literally any jobber(and yes Jinder is a jobber despite being a former world champion) and it would’ve still happened. It was nothing against Jinder, it’s just in fact the double standard. What has Jinder done to deserve a shot? Ask? If that’s the case, Hook deserves it also since he made a challenge.

Nah man not trying to start shit WWE has the same problems. I just don’t understand why he has to constantly had to tweet. TK is running the next biggest promotion. I just don’t think he should be popping off like that.

I didn’t think you was, I just didn’t think it be a good use of time to talk about a product sucking or not, as that’s just personal opinion. definitely agree he shouldn’t be tweeting like that

 

[John_69]

It is subjective.
