But going back to the NXT fan problem, I noticed some interesting things in the Observer's report from last night's TV taping at "Full Sail University."
So Eva Marie, in good faith, does a promo putting over the lady wrestlers, and is rewarded by the fans being complete assholes.
The sheer, utter, audacious hypocrisy of the same fanbase who drowned out KENTA chants with their boos and "Hideo" chants. My god.
I wish I was surprised at the "Full Sail University" fans "reacting big" to the use of a gendered pejorative, but I think this bit really crystallizes everything that is wrong with those miserable people. They pretend they're liberal, cosmopolitan, open-minded, forward-thinking people who just want to have a good time. They like women's wrestling! Then they go and "react big" when one wrestler calls another a bitch, essentially telling him that he is weak like a woman.
Luckily, there's hope:
I'm hoping this becomes a trend. I'm think HHH is starting to realize that NXT deserves a better class of fans. I think his plans to start touring, and taping TV on the road, suggests that he knows how much the "Full Sail University" cretins hurt the product. In the meantime, I'm hoping that they use more plants, shutting out the fucking miscreants who ruin TV, forcing them to go back to wearing wife beaters or "tailgating" or whatever the fuck it is people do in Florida.
