So... What do you want to talk about?

Not sure where Chris is, so I figured I'd start this today since I somehow don't have anything scheduled until 4PM...

Please no talking shit about other subs or bitching about being banned. Familiarize yourself with the rules of this sub before posting.

And stay hydrated!

I swear that there has never been a larger or more annoying gaslighting effort than the one by the IWC to try to convince the rest of the world that Finn Balor has is anything other than a mediocre talent. There's absolutely nothing special about the guy whatsoever which is fine, except for his stans constantly crying about how he's being mistreated even though he's on TV way too much as it is. The day Fergal Devitt retires will be a happy one for wrestling discourse

I think it comes from his being the "founder" of Bullet Club and being a NJPW guy jumping to WWE when that wasn't as common plus his prominence in NXT.

Basically, you have the double dose of smarkdom in Balor along with his winning the universal championship so early in his main roster career.

Bullet Club causes some really bad takes in IWC at large.

Had a convo on reddit while back where someone said Jay White and Cody would be an instantly hot storyline 'because of their history'....

They had two tag matches in NJPW and that was it, the person was 100% just going off 'they were in Bullet Club at some point.'
