Y'all keep saying 83 weeks in a row but didn't WCW win the ratings battle more than that? Just not in a row. I would go with the total number of wins to prove the point.

My thoughts on Eric responding to criticism that he's essentially turned into a version of Jim Cornette hating on AEW: I think the problem is the exaggeration. The very first time he went off on Dave Meltzer, we could tell it was real and organic and we liked it. He noticed we liked it and turned the volume up on it. I've been critical of Jim for turning the volume up way too much. When you turn the volume up, most of us notice and some of us get turned off. Everybody everywhere is turning the volume up on everything to the point where I think just sharing your honest thoughts and opinions as they are has become a gimmick that can and does work. It took me a while to figure it out, but that's what I like about the wrestleroasts reviews. Robert is WWE leaning and Scott is AEW leaning, but they aren't fanboys for their product or haters of the other. There was a time when tribalism was good for ratings and competition. Why does every sports tem out there seem to have a rival? As a lapsed Red Sox fan, I remember a bunch of fans getting on Dustin Pedroia for having lunch with Derek Jeter. The rivalry is the fans, not the players. Tribalism has gotten to the point now where it's beyond toxic and toxicity kills. I mentioned I'm a lapsed Red Sox fan. I used to be a major prospect hound and the mlb draft was like my Christmas. I found a website that catered to Red Sox prospects and the farm system. Despite having a lot of very smart posters, including a ton of lawers and actual scouts, that forum literally destroyed my love of baseball and I haven't watched it in ages and the crap that went on there is the reason why. The more you love something, the more you'll put up with. I loved baseball and the prospects so much, I lingered there too long and my fandom suffered because of it. In wrestling, things work with babyfaces and heels. Times have changed and the dynamic between those two and their symbiotic relationship to each other has changed big time. You have to be careful and not feed into the toxicity and the tribalism too much or will start to kill the fandom. If it can do it to me and my love of baseball, it can definitely do it to wrestling and social media and all the reporting on the products is already much worse than the site that destroyed my love of baseball.

Shot out to Eric for the Buck Zomhofe reference. Haven’t heard that name in 40yrs
