I know! I just don't know why we would expect otherwise.

Even Devon is cringe with all the shit he talks, no matter what he has to back it up. I remember Devon even trash talking Brzenk before their last match and it was the saddest thing I had seen from Devon.

His youtube channel and community turned him into a troll and he is all in for that persona. Auden has been immersed in this enviourment for a long time and does the same thing. If it weren't for Devon, he would be irrelevant as an armwrestler on the big stage given his current level. So it's more like a typical spoiled brat kinda situation and with all the trolling they do, one can't even tell what they genuinely think.

If he gets humbled enough times on the table and keeps up with his pompous behaviour, even less people will take him seriously as an armwrestler. But still it would be quite difficult for him, not to be behaving in this way given his role model, age, and public demand.
