Wife was curious why fans love Hangman so much ๐คผโโ๏ธ
There will always be someone mad at something, and it's easy to let that appear that people are mad at everything

But yeah, that's not a constant occurrence, but then I think we get a warped perspective to think it's always the case. Some people are just hating constantly for engagement, otherwise it's a case of "you'll never please EVERYONE,"

It'd be completely unreasonable for me this time last year demanding Hangman be in that spot
But the day of All In? Yeah, my fandom comes to the forefront and I would've been upset by literally any result other than Hangman walking out of there with the title

Like most things, it's situational
Like, I didn't NEED Hangman main eventing and winning the title at All In last year until it got to the point where he was in the finals of the Owen Hart tournament
Yeah, by that point, there's one answer for me, but there's tons of other ways you could've gone

Way too many people in Pro Wrestling, fans, wrestlers, management, and media alike, dismiss almost all criticisms as "they're just mad they didn't get what they wanted"
Which is only the case if "what they wanted" is "something good" ๐คผโโ๏ธ

It's just a huge pet peeve of mine, promoting a title match but then not giving fans that title match is not the purpose of "card subject to change" ๐คผโโ๏ธ

Whenever I see an anime sub/manga purist who *insists* that translations be direct and are staunchly anti-localization, this scene always plays in my head

Thing is you could've made that significantly better, you just do exactly what you did only you do Cena vs Rey at SummerSlam instead of the same RAW that Rey won the title, have Punk return to close SummerSlam
Hell, doing Cena/Punk champ v. champ would make more sense for Night of Champions anyway

Not the point you're making, but I wish they let them cook for more than 5 minutes
I wanted to see how much mileage they could get out of a show with literally just Trips, Cena, Sheamus, and Punk

I mean, it was over either way. If anything having him keep the streak would've been a bit more painful because he'd still be seen as an undead god while barely able to move

I say this all the time, and people call me a liar and I just respond "you....weren't....there"
But...people legitimately were pushing that someone like *shudders* Ted DiBiase Jr be the one to end the streak

I feel like this is more akin to The Streak having the mega boss take it as part of his legacy and aura.
Poor Kurt Angle put over a young talent too and we see how that turned out.

I've seen people complain that Tanahashi didn't go out putting over some young talent, but I just feel like that's a stretch to say the least
I've never been a believer of one win "making" a new star. It's why I didn't think Undertaker's streak should've ever been broken either

because it felt like the fans rejecting him which would only push him down the card. That didn't happen, but I also didn't want to see despised heel Hangman Page, which at its core is why "Hangman did nothing wrong" grew so prevalent

2 years the first time around was fine because everything he was doing felt like it was progressing a big story
The 3 years until the next reign? That was rough because for a lot of it Hangman felt aimless, like he had nothing going on, and the Swerve feud in the moment hurt
