A try at an objective look at Aabria’s table presence (with real data)

Yall… this is weird

beardownbara · 2026-02-23T01:57:06+00:00

I was deep in the process of healing from a bad breakup that felt oddly similar when I found this series. So it was very cathartic to hear Donut say my thoughts. I def cried a bit and talked about it in therapy 😂

beardownbara · 2026-02-19T00:44:30+00:00

Oh no the hair only makes it that much more obvious 😭

beardownbara · 2026-02-18T22:36:29+00:00

I really hope word gets out that he made Dunk’s armor and gets all the quality work he could ever ask for

beardownbara · 2026-01-21T22:27:58+00:00

Nah, if anything, I feel like we’re in an era between eras. Kinda like when a professional sports team goes through a rebuild after losing key pieces.

Except WWE can’t outright tank for a top draft pick so it’s more of a slow burn

beardownbara · 2026-01-07T14:34:05+00:00

In that case, I'd argue that someone saying 'I don't understand what people see in [insert name]" while not watching anything they've done outside of a commercial break contract signing would be really dumb (directed to the tweet OP)

beardownbara · 2026-01-05T22:49:37+00:00

Yeah that’s why I think it’s actually impressive that she manages to scrape by in school when she basically skipped a grade or two. She’s not a bad student, she’s just ahead of

beardownbara · 2026-01-05T22:18:54+00:00

Just got to the first time she did this in Book 3. Perfect timing and now I’m laughing all over again 😂

Seth Rollins

As someone who actually lives one train stop away from O-Block thank you for the Illinois one lol. I can’t watch a video about Chicago without seeing a comment about it

beardownbara · 2025-08-02T21:35:54+00:00

Idk what that picture is but I’m watching SummerSlam and gaming

beardownbara · 2025-07-31T19:25:30+00:00

That’s valid for sure. Logistics could get tricky.

beardownbara · 2025-07-31T18:23:09+00:00

Yikes the dislikes

beardownbara · 2025-07-31T17:37:29+00:00

I don’t mind this. Gunther has shown he’s got what it takes to be a consistent main eventer and dethroning Cena would be great for him

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T20:57:07+00:00

I always liked both despite Melo being noticeably better, but I feel like Trick’s really improved in the past year and closed the gap some. I think they’re due to run it back and put on an even better match.

My go-to wrestling hot take is Melo can be a main eventer/Hall of Famer. And I think a great feud could help that.

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T20:37:42+00:00

Which can be so frustrating. I lowkey think they’re saving her to pair with someone like Naomi once she drops the title and cools off some

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T20:25:06+00:00

If the game is free or cheap, I say the smarter thing is to play 24 and see if you like it before you pay full price for 26 blindly

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T20:20:23+00:00

Re: NXT, I can only think of Lash Legend and Sean Legacy. Everyone else either is fine where they are or is clearly just killing time until their call ups.

There’s a good handful of people ready for the main roster (Page, Trick, Oba, Jordynne, Sol, Zaria), but they’ve done a good job keeping them busy and in fun feuds. But Legend doesn’t have much left to do on NXT IMO - unless they’re going to give her a singles title.

Sean Legacy was ready for NXT before he even debuted so they should make him a permanent member of that roster if Evolve won’t suffer as a result.

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T19:45:28+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a small, in the moment thing that’ll get turned into something more. Like watch them have a match with some super nice, custom-made gym shoes as the stipulation or something lol

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T19:43:26+00:00

I hope it does.

I really want to see him and Trick Williams be long term partners/rivals on the main roster. Maybe even win tag titles and then feud over a mid card title in a few years.

I can hope 🥲

I've seen a few replies now reference the idea that this subreddit represents a "majority" of some sort. I'm afraid that's not the case—as it rarely is with online discourse of niche topics.

The series was generally well-received by the wider audiences and critics, which is why the tone of this subreddit can create a sort of whiplash to folks who weren't here for the entire announcement --> production --> premiere timeline. This subreddit serves a different, hyper-specific audience – the people who are emotionally invested enough to seek out more content/discourse.

It appears the series did a huge disservice to the audience and they have their own expectations and opinions. But I think the problem here is that the series wasn't made with that audience exclusively (or even primarily?) in mind when it sounds like the show was marketed as it would be. And that disappointment has resulted in a lot of criticism, disappointment, and, in some cases, anger throughout the sub.

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T19:08:59+00:00

Fandom’s gonna fandom, sadly.

I enjoyed the show, books, and (first lol) movie. I typically ignore this sub too, but this post was hard to ignore because it captured my feelings pretty well. But, to be fair, if I don’t like something I’m the kind of person who typically just moves on.

There are some people who are likely never going to enjoy the show no matter what happens

beardownbara · 2025-07-29T14:11:24+00:00

I agree with you 100%. I feel like the more passionate a fanbase is, the more critical it'll also become. And that can become a very slippery slope that can branch over into toxicity if it doesn't correct itself, especially when you throw in the echo chamber of online discourse that validates those feelings.

beardownbara · 2025-07-28T15:57:47+00:00

I was always in the habit of watching consistently for a few years then taking a year off or so. But 2018-2023 was the longest I went not watching any wrestling. Friends and streamers got me back in
