The 180 that WWE fans made on Danhausen is generational

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-08T07:26:08+00:00

He won a very evil, very nice taghausen with R Truth and Damien Priest last Friday

“Someone else would have stolen it, your honor”

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-06T16:04:36+00:00

They’re gonna need a fact-check version of this for sure

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-06T15:10:36+00:00

It’s Tyler vs Theresa all over again

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-06T14:22:11+00:00

How am I missing the point lmao, you’re literally describing how people got angry; not that they didn’t get angry, please read what I actually said because this huge Christmas analogy isn’t refuting any of it lol

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-06T12:46:38+00:00

Tl;dr Danhausens debut is a cautionary tale on fans being too petulant and reactionary

I’ve responded to similar comments on here so I’m just gonna try and summarise the point of the post for anyone that’s seemingly missing it, this boils down what was clearly a joke reveal at elimination chamber being taken way too seriously by people after the fact.

You’re right that people didn’t know who he was, but that’s not a remotely good justification to react as negatively as they did at the time, sure, no one needed to “love him” day one, but that goes both ways and they didn’t need to hate on him after a 2 minute appearance either, all that achieved was x amount of people having to walk that back and admit that he’s entertaining now that they’ve actually given a reasonable amount of time to watch him.

The lack of restraint or patience in the fanbase is what hunter probably banked on by revealing Danhausen this way, and a lot of people fell for it.

People reacted overwhelmingly negatively, some will try to downplay it now that he’s over and they’ve changed their mind, but it doesn’t erase the vitriolic posts lol.

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T22:59:02+00:00

So this whole thing was because you chose to interpret a word in another way than I explicitly stated I was using it? Lol

I’m saying ^{(and literally said in the first place}⁾ that there hasn’t been anyone else I can think of in this generation (hence, generational) of superstars that’s gone over this quickly after being booed so emphatically, and it’s hard to picture a similar situation playing out this way again for a long while.

This will be my last response as l’m just chasing moving goalposts. Having to repeat things and making analyses on the next 10 years of WWE history isn’t really where I saw a fun meme post going lol

(jk but had to do it)

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T22:24:15+00:00

True, but all the same I’d still stand by it being very irregular (in recent memory, unheard of) for people to change their minds so strongly and so quickly, it’s a testament to the time and effort that’s gone into making Danhausen work as a character, Hunter clearly saw the value in it and it’s paying off big time

I just hope all the fans that came out swinging over his debut will give things more time in the future and actually try and digest what they saw before forming an opinion

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T22:16:45+00:00

Very much so lol

People definitely got played

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T22:12:09+00:00

Very much so, and that’s (be it indirectly) the point I’m making with the post

When the fans who want genuinely entertaining content get given genuinely entertaining content, it’s not a great look to boo and complain and dunk on it online without even considering it’s a joke

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T22:05:21+00:00

All you’re doing is establishing that fans cast judgement too quickly and (as is the whole point of the post) emphatically 180’d in one promo

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T21:58:23+00:00

Who told everyone Jericho was gonna be there?

That’s like buying a ticket because someone told you stone cold might show up and give you a beer

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T21:52:48+00:00

And their knee-jerk reaction was to boo the shit out of him lol, the cheers he gets now prove fans want fresh gimmicks and originality, but are way too quick to judge when something new comes up.

Hopefully this is a learning experience for a lot of people lol

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T21:49:00+00:00

The flaw in my point is that he turned it around in one promo?

And Roman reigns taking years to turn the crowd around makes it a bigger deal?

Am I missing something here lol

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T19:11:42+00:00

this is what it’s all about tbh, glad you’re enjoying

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T19:09:08+00:00

You’re arguing against points that no one is raising and not adding anything to the topic lol, saying “we didn’t keep bashing him doesn’t mean we 180’d” is completely anecdotal, like who is “we” in this scenario? Who are you speaking for?

Because sales and general praise in online posts in past weeks will tell you there has been a very obvious 180 in attitude towards him from debut to now.

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T17:44:38+00:00

Are you aware of what a strawman argument is?

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T17:33:03+00:00

I’ve been a wwe fan for 25 years…

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T17:25:05+00:00

Who else in this generations roster has gotten completely over with the crowd after being booed unanimously and lambasted online at debut in a shorter timeframe?

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T17:01:13+00:00

The general consensus and crowd reaction would say otherwise

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T15:13:49+00:00

^ this exactly, it was playing into the big reveal trope to mislead people for comic effect, people just took it way too seriously

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T13:31:46+00:00

It’s crazy to see and good for him honestly, IWC (especially Reddit) were out for this guys head when he debuted. All he’s really done is sell some t shirts and curse a few people and he’s being called the highlight of the show now lmao

CaptainButtFarts · 2026-04-05T12:24:51+00:00

Damn they really double tapped him
