what your favorite wrestling company says about you

wwe: you think all wrestling is the wwe. either that or you are below the age of 12 aew: you're queer and/or British. you have a rant about cm punk in your drafts somewhere impact wrestling/tna: you miss when they had the six sided ring and when they were on a network people actually watched. you despise vince russo with a passion new japan pro wrestling: you have torrents of every tokyo dome show and at least 5 different Bullet Club shirts. you may have wept tears of joy when the first forbidden door was announced ring of honor: you always like to remind people that this was where every great american pro wrestler of the 21st century got their start. for you seth rollins will always be tyler black. you kind of resent that they spent the 2010s being new japan's bitch before becoming AEW's bitch aaa: you really miss lucha underground cmll: you actually are really into lucha libre and hate that nobody talks about the oldest company devoted to it chikara: you think wrestling should lean into the fakeness more. the slow motion match always makes you laugh. you will never forgive mike quackenbush for what he did. combat zone/game changer: you like to watch people bleed. you downloaded cameo just so you can pay nick gage's rent. he's been through a lot, he needs it. ddt: like the chikara fans but without the resentment of the company founder's horrible actions. pro wrestling noah: every time someone mentions wrestling, you always bring up that kenta kobashi did the Go To Sleep first. all japan pro wrestling: whenever you talk about wrestling, you always have to preface with "yes, all japan still exists!" you miss fighting opera hustle. wcw: you hate vince russo even more than the impact wrestling fan. ecw: you are 30 or 40 years old and get misty eyed whenever you hear "enter sandman". nwa: you're either really into wrestling history or you're a smashing pumpkins fan who just found out billy corgan owns a wrestling company. you wish nick aldis got the championship instead of fox news pundit tyrus mlw: you are jim cornette. global force wrestling/xwf/control your narrative/wrestling society x/heroes of wrestling: your favorite website is the lost media wiki
