10 Reasons Why People Don't Give A Sh*t About WWE Anymore

1. AEW Exists

AEW is the epicentre of professional wrestling conversation because it means a lot whichever way it's perceived.

It means too bloody much, if anything.

CM Punk trading barbs with MJF is either the greatest promo battle of the century or proof that AEW is the minor league using WrestleMania for a cheap pop. The company is either institutionally racist or too woke and in fact set to "go broke". The ring style is either spotty and fake and unconvincing or simply so dangerous that it must be stopped. The promotion either makes WWE seem much more sh*tty than it actually is, by getting failed WWE acts over again, or is too reliant on WWE stars to pop a rating. Either a million viewers is something that they simply must hit in order to not be considered a failure, or they need to hit what the WWF did during the Attitude Era.

Some WWE fans would turn their backs on Roman Reigns if he ever made the professional decision to jump.

"Roman always sucked, hope you enjoy monologues AEWsexuals [cry laugh emoji x 14]"

AEW has broken the brains of the online wrestling community, who are more invested it in burying it than talking about Randy Orton's record 4 million TV matches.

Really, can you blame them?
