Critical pro wrestling fan. Calling out hypocrites, tribalist fans, and wrestling "journalists" since 2021. Not a Dave Meltzer puppet.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

The Mexican fanbase seems to adore Kaiser’s Americano and his respect Latin culture and lucha tradition.

If they don’t have a problem with it, who are you to speak on their behalf and get offended for them?

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

The McMahons haven’t even owned WWE since 2023. By the time WWE bought AAA in 2025, they hadn’t been in the picture for a long time.

I don’t hear the AAA fanbase complaining about the El Grande feud. In fact, I’ve seen the exact opposite. It’s mostly white people complaining.

[Desperado D. Mayor @Overmayor]

Can we acknowledge the fact that the McMahons bought the second-largest Mexican wrestling company and immediately centered it on white guys doing "isn't it funny that I'm pretending to be Mexican" gimmicks

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

He’s in the Hall of Fame. He has nothing left to prove. He’s undergone hip and knee replacement surgery. He has permanent muscular, neurological, and skeletal damage from years of abusing his body

Sometimes, it’s better to bow out gracefully than risk embarrassing yourself (3/3)

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

So, there’s the real reason Mick Foley decided to leave WWE for AEW. It’s because WWE wouldn’t clear him for a match.

If the Trump stuff was truly a dealbreaker for him, he wouldn’t want to work for the Khans either because of their $1M donation to him in 2017. (1/3)

[WrestlePurists @WrestlePurists]

AEW sources spoken to believed that Mick Foley had made up his mind that he would wrestle once more, and that it would be in AEW.

It is believed that if he got cleared, Tony Khan would be eager to book the match.

- @WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

All due respect to Mick, but I have no interest in seeing him wrestle in 2026.

He’s nearly 61-years old. He hasn’t wrestled a proper match in over a decade, and he hasn’t regularly wrestled in 16 years. His last good match was WrestleMania 22, which was 20 years ago. (2/3)

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

We can now add Mark Davis to the AEW eye patch list. It's almost like Tony Khan has some sort of weird fixation with them. #AEWDynamite #AEWonTBS

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

Make it 10. Totally forgot Willow wore a bandage over her eye last September. That makes it exactly 2 per year, on average.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

Why does AEW insist on giving Thekla mic time every single week? She has to be one of the worst promos in the business, especially with how often she gets a live mic.

Just because you talk loudly on the microphone doesn't mean you can talk. #AEWDynamite #AEWonTBS

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

It’s funny how AEW never forgets to wish someone on their roster a happy birthday but, at the same time, forgets they are under contract when it comes time to booking them.

Yes. I know their roster is large, but would giving Butcher/Blade tag matches on Collision/ROH be so bad?

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

If AEW really wanted to give him a happy birthday, they should start booking him. Instead of paying him to sit at home, give him something to do.

He’s wrestling again and seemingly cleared to return to the ring, so why not give him a tag match with Butcher on tonight’s Dynamite?

[All Elite Wrestling @AEW]

Happy Birthday to The Blade!

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@WhatsTheStatus Every year, when 2K says that we’re getting the biggest roster to date, this is what they mean.

3/4 of the roster is locked behind a paywall and we get models no one asked for, like this. What a scam.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

Give me a break.

On top of that, we’re expected to pay more than ever for an incomplete game? When you say the roster is bigger than ever, it only matters if you can use the whole roster and spots aren’t wasted on garbage like this.

Even WWE 2K20 was better than this. (3/3)

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

At this point, I don’t think I’m even going to buy WWE 2K27. I’ve barely touched 2K26 since Ringside Pass Season 2 came out.

Between the Ringside Pass rollout, patching the Bischoff method, doubling down on MyFaction, and this, 2K have no idea what fans want. (1/3)

[𝕾𝖙𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖘™ @WhatsTheStatus]

Here is Strauss Zelnick's full entrance that includes a new entrance animation and "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, and no, you cannot use the song as it's exclusive to him. #WWE2K26

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

Legitimately nobody wants to play as the 2K Chairman.

You lock all of the good Persona cards behind an impossible paywall. You can’t give us updated music/graphics/attires for the in-game roster, new character models (legends, NXT, etc.), but you can give us this? (2/3)

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@AEWCer0Miedo AEW also has their fair share of reheated nachos, to be fair.

Jericho doing the list gimmick when he returned, Ciampa copying his NXT heel turn shot for shot, Ciampa parodying Jericho’s “armbar” promo from WCW, Cope/Cage doing a 5 second pose, etc. It’s been done before.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@ReneusMeister Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the World Wildlife Fund runs storylines.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@TheWrestleFish I literally said I would give him CMLL. I recognize CMLL’s World Heavyweight Title as a world title, because it is one.

2026 ROH, though, is a different story. It’s no longer its own promotion. It’s AEW developmental. It used to be a world title, not so much anymore.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@RedEyez1983 Would I consider the ROH World Title a world title in 2002, 2007, 2014, and even 2021 before the hiatus? Yes.

Under Tony Khan’s direction, however, it no longer feels like its own promotion. I wouldn’t call the NXT Title a world title, nor would I the ROH World Title in 2026.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

If WWE had sent Claudio down to NXT and made him champion there, no one would be calling him a world champion.

I’ll give you CMLL but, at this point, being ROH World Champion is basically equivalent to being NXT Chanpion. The face of the minor leagues.

[Mystic Mac @M05tlyWr35le1ng]

Claudio Castagnoli 2x world champion since leaving WWE. His career has definitely benefited from leaving there.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

@RedEyez1983 I literally said that I would give him CMLL. I’m well aware of its storied history. It is a world title.

Im 2026, ROH is no longer its own entity. It’s AEW’s developmental league. It’s where Tony Khan puts you if he has nothing for you, so I’d struggle to call it a world title.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

We’re not even halfway through 2026. At the beginning of the year, if you told me a German and an American both pretending to be the same Mexican luchador would put on my leading MOTY candidate, I probably would’ve laughed at you.

Definitely makes me want to check out more AAA.

[Vic Neumann @VicNeumann1]

El Grande vs. Original El Grande reminded me of exactly why I became a wrestling fan in the first place. A great match with emotion and a compelling story behind it.

While much of what current WWE and AEW have to offer isn’t my thing, matches like this are what keep me tuning in
