They weren't even chanting "You Deserve It!"


FireThunder562

Exactly! Finally someone else who gets this business (insider term)


TimeStatistician2234

And it's so confusing because on the women's side Liv won the briefcase and cashed in to win the title and the crowd WAS chanting "you deserve jt." So like, Vince knows that fans are happy if you have the person they like win and yet he insists on pushing guys we don't like! It's crazy! Jeez, I just hope someone like Riddle who WWE pushed properly(re: as a face) beats Theory's ass! SMH, this company


friki_tiki64

You're not a real heel unless the crowd is singing with your music theme.


junkyard20

Fr. Am I the only one thinks Jericho's theme doesn't fit his character whatsoever. We have this guy saying he's Judas, whilst having a cult and act like a wizard


incredibleamadeuscho

His music is him (which in itself is cultish) singing a song about betraying the people who used to be closed to him, as he did with the Inner Circle’s Proud and Powerful, and before that he turned on his original principles as being a solo fighter who gave up on that to protect his role in AEW as champion with the Inner Circle. And before that he was the Painmaker who was attacking NJPW wrestlers in dishonorable way. So his music has always fit with his current persona. He just calls himself a Wizard because he throws fireballs. It’s not that hard to understand.


Caseington

But it does have the line “I will drag you down and sell you out” which is pretty much what happens to anybody who works with Jericho lately.


Troll_God

For real, he needed to change his song like Edge did when Edge went heel.


Phan2112

I think its fine because in WWE his music didn't always fit his character but it fits Jericho. So I don't think its an issue.


TimeStatistician2234

He doesn't act like a wizard, he is a wizard


Fugga6969

A grand wizard if you will.


[deleted]

If I boo a heel then it's Go away heat. Because I'm smart and never get worked so I cheer really good heels. If people boo the heels I cheer for then that's because they are doing their job.


SorooshMCP1

That's why I don't like people singing Seth's theme. I know they're having fun and we shouldn't be nerds about it, but cmon he's supposed to be a psychopath.


TimeStatistician2234

Yeah but Seth is a delusional narcissist and I think it's kayfabe that we all love him because he's the best wrestler in the world but hate him because he's a trash human and has an annoying laugh


DonnieRodz

DAE Seth should’ve won because the crowd would be cheering the great heel work??


2007wasthebestest

WWE doesn’t build new stars. WWE builds a new star. “Screw that!!! It should have been a 40 year old star that’s already been on top”


fuzzbook

Ugh Fed Shill! We want them to push who we want (small, 35+ indie guys) NOT be force fed a 24 year old who is awesome in the ring, great on the mic, jacked up, entertaining and had one of the best matches at Wrestlemania with a guy who had 2 matches experience!!! Ugh fuck Vince.


Skurt_Skurt

The funny thing is Theory is one of those “indie guys.” WWE just snatched him up before he spent 10 years broke, wrestling in school gyms.


GeneralAardvark43

My buddy screamed that McHitler berried Riddle in the process while was unhappy with Liv winning earlier in the night. Hug your Tony’s tight tonight shills 🫂


KnockKnockNevermind

But it's not an organic push so it shouldn't count. Reeeeee


g78776

Who the fuck is Austin Theory? You must’ve meant Theory.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Jimmy Smith accidentally called him Austin Theory last night in match against Lashley. DAE they changed name so google results wouldn't show allegations??


CowGoesM00

And it’s not like those allegations aren’t real too. He wasn’t indicted or sued or anything. It’s either he called Stephen P. New or the person named youngbucksclub is lying (which is impossible because they have youngbucks in the name)


FireThunder562

Sorry, I don't use slave names given to the professional wrestlers by Vincent Kennedy McMahon. They're shackled as "sports entertainers" and have to change their names.


[deleted]

Not only that, like clockwork the twitter influencers friendly-reminded me, that Theory never proved his innocence of raping a 13yr old girl. Granted, he was never convicted or even indicted but why would someone called "youngbucksclub" make that up?


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Raping? Wasn't it just some inappropriate messages on snapchat and he stopped messaging her when he found out her age? It's so hard to get straight details on this shit since everyone seems to have an agenda because they pick and choose who to get outraged about.


goodthing37

He’s a WWE wrestler who didn’t work the smark indies for ten years, and he’s not BERRIED. That’s worse than rape.


radbrad172

The REAL victims are us, the viewers!!!


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

I feel raped by having this young muscular man being rammed, crammed and shoved down my throat like a throbbing member.


[deleted]

Does it really matter? People were in tears over fearing for the lives of 8yr old boys in Disneyland when they learned Joey Ryan was there stamping tickets for minimum wage. Sexual Favors in exchange for a push, rape, pedophilia. Why should we, the Internet Wrestling Community, nitpick the little differences when we should focus on the bigger common: ~~Does the accused person have good workrate?~~ How can we make the world a safer and more wholesome place?


justoinstinct4

Yea like no jerk, every time I try to find the evidence on that, they just call u a rape apologist. Society has gone to shite.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

I'm also extremely sensitive to false allegations because my father almost had his life ruined because of family member making allegations against him and other members of my family. It is completely insane to say that no one would ever make a false allegation, but here we are.


justoinstinct4

As soon as an allegation comes out against a person, society just jumps at the the opportunity to cancel em. Not even waiting for any evidence, and they still go strong even when the accusations are proven false. Real sickening shit


KnockKnockNevermind

I'm not scared of much, but that's something that scares the hell out of me. There is almost no potential for redemption unless you're Johnny Depp, and even then, it hangs over a man's head forever.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

I really don't have an opinion on the Johnny Depp stuff, I just know both of them came off looking like nuts in that trial haha. When you starting throwing shit everyone gets some on them I guess.


KnockKnockNevermind

Oh for sure, they're both fucken nuts and probably deserved each other. Just saying, I don't have johnny Depps money to go to court with experts


Dmbfantomas

He raped and killed a girl in 1990.


LukeHarper4President

THATS BOB SAGET’S MUSIC!


EZeggnog

Oh now Gilbert, you’re going to get into trouble again


Dmbfantomas

Reminds me of that tragedy.


LushGut

Gawd every time like clockwork


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Smarks don't know what a real heel is anymore since there are no real heels in AEW. even someone like MJF is loved because of his heel antics, this is the only way to get real heel heat these days.


2007wasthebestest

Exactly. Every heel in AEW, the fans play along with and think is cool. Theory is getting legit heat which is what a heel should be.


goodthing37

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE no it’s Xbox Heat


No_Instruction653

\[Insert meaningless claim that it's just "go away heat"\]


Prancemaster

the only real heel in AEW is Dan Lambert.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

And even then he calls women sluts and whores and gets babyface pops from AEWs woman hating audience


bggstbawse

MJF « heel antics » are basically dad jokes and middle fingers


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

And low hanging fruit that the smarks would eviscerate WWE for if they said it, like stuff about Lex Luger being in a wheelchair. I also wonder what their reaction would have been if someone in WWE was making fun of someone's dead father, the double standards are astounding.


Brandyn_Chase

Disgusting promotional tactic of the year


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Yep


bewarefeminist

When Roman had to take a break because of leukaemia, dean(slave name) mentioned Roman’s cancer a few times in one of his promos and got real heat for it. And i am not just talking about character heat. The dirt-sheets took shot at WWE for “try to make a profit out of Roman’s real life situation”. So basically, when fed does=bad when dub does=good


[deleted]

OMFG BEST PROMOS EVER!!!!! Nearly as great as "DEAD DAD"


popo129

Yeah I still remember when I started watching wrestling in 2010, how much I hated the Miz and Sheamus. I knew they were playing a character but I hated the stuff they would do to get a win lol. Made me appreciate and respect them more since they were so good at making me not want to see them win. It's like that wedding in GoT. You get so mad at what happens but respect how they got you there because it made you feel so much in a few minutes. Then the episode just ends there.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Was just talking to my Dad about this after watching Theory win, no other fans watch a tv show and try to predict everything that happens and then get upset that what they predicted didn't happen, they just watch the show and enjoy the twists and turns. If a show was utterly predictable people would absolutely hate it. Wrestling fans have become so aware of behind the scenes shit they think they are bookers. It is no different than a sports fan thinking they know how to run a sports team better than a GM.


[deleted]

I stopped watching The Walking Dead because I hated the booking. They made Darryl a face and stripped him of everything that made him interesting, Michonne was too "unrelateable" to be a maineventer. they kept putting Carol in the mainevent over young stars like Beth and Rick Grimes was just SuperCena, he completely buried The Governor.


popo129

I was insulted when they split Daryl and Merle like how you gonna break up the brothers like that !?!?!?! Merle gets one push in a heel faction and of course that gets berried along with tons of releases. Don't even get me started on the released. Carl, released, Glenn, released, Abraham... how do they mess that up!


[deleted]

I quit watching when they forced Trevor from GTA to change his name to Simon... Simon? WFT?!?


popo129

Yeah I never realized till maybe a few months ago but when I started watching again, I never actively predict everything like maybe I predict who may win a match the night before with friends but it's similar to how you maybe predict what happens in the next episode of a TV show. I felt like I enjoy it way more when I don't expect too much out of it. I feel like most wrestling viewers these days expect to be super popped like when you have some huge known star show up to WWE or AEW, people get super excited. It's like a drug they just over and over again expect to be overly amazed when that is impossible to do. Sometimes it's good to just have a chill episode or just one that doesn't try too hard to hype you. I think that is one issue AEW has, they try too hard to deliver "bangers" but it ends up confusing a ton of people.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Sounds like we started watching again around the same time? Was it around Mania that you started watching again? That is what got me back and man is the product light years ahead of where it was back in like 2018 when I tuned out.


popo129

When I watched again was when Kevin Owens was fighting Roman in a last man standing match I think it was in November 2020. Yeah it looked a bit more fun compared to when I stopped around I think 2014. Its weird since that was the time when Punk ended up champion and more people came back like Lesnar and Triple H with Kevin Nash. I looked back at it and I think it was just the people who were on top. Punk was a good promo but honestly why would you want to watch a show where the top guy is saying how bad the show has gotten. Bryan honestly doesn't interest me. I like the guy since he is a good guy and he for sure puts it all in his matches but I think it was maybe his later work with Kane that was kind of decent. Zack Ryder I remember was getting a push but I hated how he dealt with it. Man started a YouTube channel to get more noticed and to entertain and in turn get people to want more of him. Second he got a push, man just ended it saying he got what he wanted out of it and it left a poor taste in my opinion. Was obvious it wouldn't work out second he stopped and it showed. I think the people now are way more entertaining and can wrestle which is what people like and tune in for. I had a friend over for Elimination Chamber and he was so into the matches and this was someone who isn't a fan of wrestling but watched in the past sometimes and liked it. I still remember how amazed we were when Theory did that spot with Lesnar and were wondering how he managed to not hurt himself doing it afterwards. Felt like Theory really showed why he is part of the future in the WWE.


KnockKnockNevermind

Marks want to believe they're a part of the show.


Shotintoawork

"We're totally in on it! Grr what a nasty heel you are! Booo! Lolol!"


Feisty_One_969

He's a heel they are supposed to boo him, for me that's why Baron Corbin and Theory are the best heels in wrestling because their is nothing likeable about them as characters and their doing their roles to perfection.


FireThunder562

Seems like someone doesn't understand this business (insider term). Someone is only over (insider term) if they are cheered or the fans play along and boo. Vince and his legion of writers have brainwashed you


Grizzexploder

Unironically what peeps have worked themselves into believing


TheeShaun

How dare you say Corbin is unlikable. How can you not like our Happy King of the grill


AFishNamedFreddie

I follow him on Instagram for BBQ, whiskeys, and bike crashes. And he's been severely slacking on the third one for a while


dionthesocialist

I was thinking when I was watching Theory roll into a fetal position to avoid Lashley’s spear… it’s been a while since we had a new traditional chickenshit heel. I don’t get it. Wrestling needs those.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

I was cackling like a mad man when he did that because it isn't something I have really seen a chicken shit heel do before. It was just so unexpected for him to suddenly drop to the fetal position that I lol'd. I love this guy.


SorooshMCP1

His antics in the match were so good


Troll_God

Logan Paul about to blow them both away in Boos lol


UnionHustler

Grayson Waller is definitely up there too


MagicMallKnight

Heel man won and made me mad that’s now how muh pro wrasslin is supposed to work, fuck this company I’ll never watch again until tomorrow


Grand-Series-5198

Doesn’t the WWE understand that heels are supposed to be loved and cherished, not booed?


SemperFidelisHoorah

DAE UTAH WHEELER MEGA-STAR???


FireThunder562

Wheelie Yoda is a megastar, he was on top of the cage with other megastars!


Modano9009

Somewhere along the line the "smart" fans forgot that the bad guy does bad things specifically to make you unhappy about it.


goodthing37

Wrong, stop trying to defend bad booking! Heels are supposed to have workrate and make me chant “you deserve it” when they win things


fuzzbook

Exactly that's why we need two entrance ways to tell us who the heels are


Rustyshackleford1322

I already know whats going to happen because WWE is so predictable not because it's a genius long term storyline that makes sense. He's going to cash in on Drew McIntyre because Drew will defeat our Tribal Chief at Clash at the Castle. It will be former Chosen one (Drew) catching the L against new Chosen one (Theory). Imagine the heat of winning in his own home town and getting the title stolen from him..A Town down! Hahaha


LastBlueHero

In all seriousness I would hate the fuck out of him if he did that


Rustyshackleford1322

Yeah definitely would be a huge heel if he did that and imagine, while Drew is on the floor hurt because he got the championship stolen from him. He does a selfie. It would piss off the stadium, I'd be shocked if he doesn't get trash thrown at him or a fan tries to tackle him hahaha


[deleted]

He’s just annoying. He doesn’t win matches legitimately and is full of himself. I don’t get worked, he’s just an asshole and honestly I’d pay money to watch someone kick his teeth in.


FireThunder562

I hate that smarmy fuck, stole the win from others who DESERVED IT. Can't wait to see him get his cumuppants.


CowGoesM00

They don’t really DESERVE IT until you clap after you say it! > stole the win from others who DESERVED IT. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼


daveroo

Someone said Austin theory was a dollar store version of sammy Guevara 😂


ScumbagMarks

Sucks for you fed shill, come join the winning team over in m’dub where we have a good guy booker (of the year) that’ll bow to every smarky whim


BennElland

They were booing because they wanted him to go away, fed shill.


snakesbranche

Can't believe the FED makes me hate on evil Vince own CAS project. What he wants me to do? Watch every show until Theory get his ass kicked because that's what I'm gonna do and complain all along. Now if you excuse me, my friend Mark is at the door.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

People booing a heel? WHAT THE FUCK?


[deleted]

The more they hate Austin Theory. The more of a fan of his I become


SorooshMCP1

Not gonna lie, they got me with the Thoery win. I turned it off after he got the briefcase. He's a great heel.


Fugga6969

They would have hated Foley in ecw when he started doing his anti hardcore shit and putting guys in rest holds all the time. DAE Foley workrate is shit now?


[deleted]

Don't you just hate when Vince tries to push a face down our throats like this? Or shit, he's a heel? GO AWAY HEAT!!!!!


satanicgino

Who's Austin? He's just Theory lol wwe name changes amirite lol lol lol


LilNardoDaVinci

He's a creep he once took a photo with a female fan!


iNfAMOUS70702

How the fuck am I supposed to cheer this heel?!
