Simon Miller... ☝🏼! Couldn't have said it better. I love Pro Wrestling!!!

When Vince was running it I was begging for a 2hr raw. But under HHH I’m now a little disappointed that we will lose time for non main event story telling

I didn't know 80% of the people AEW brings in. Mariah May went from a literal nobody to me to one of my favorites in like 6 months.

you’re not a true fan unless you know what color socks giulia wore last Saturday, clearly.

This is like fallout fans being upset cause the show got a lot of people to play 15 year old games. Or the twisted metal show people were actually upset that it might lead to another TM title in over a decade.

Giulia is overrated I think Stephanie Vaquer will kill her.

New Jack and Rey Mysterio are legends but don't be a high flyer or do deathmatches you're killing the business. Nothing makes it harder to be a fan of wrestling than other fans.

The guy that made that comment I guarantee shits on okada and osprey because they didn't go to WWE but would be shouting about how great they are if they did. Nothing more hypothetical than a wrestling fan. New Jack and Rey Mysterio are legends but this spot monkey Flippy guys and death matches kill the industry...

last night was the first match I saw of hers. I'm now a fan, no one can take that away. SImon you good my brotha

The word you’re looking for is dweeb

I recently made a conscious decision to leave Twitter all together because there's just been so many instances of anonymous keyboard warriors just holding everybody else to this unrealistically impossible standard of human perfection and virtuosity. It's actually TIRING logging on every day and seeing people just spew out toxic negativity whether it involves wrestling, music, movies, news, politics, whatever. No one can ever just mind their own business these days.

this is simon's nice way of telling you nerds to touch grass

Gatekeepers, or anyone tries to gatekeep, eff ,em. And social media isn’t real, so, eff them harder.

I've been watching Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer in Stardom and on the indies for a while now and I'm stoked about them being in WWE because that means more eyes will be on them and more people can enjoy them. My only concern with Giulia being in WWE is that she might be held back a bit and she's not gonna get the chance to have 25-30 minute bangers like she would in Stardom & Marigold.

Tuned into Alpha One to watch your match and ended up watching the whole show. Personally you're energy and love for wrestling has gotten me back into wrestling. Thanks and keep it up

Asuka vs Gulia! Take my money!

I've never heard of her. What's the deal?

I first found out about Guilia when I saw a fan account on Instagram, and she looked hot, so I wanted to see more of her. Because of that, I started watching Stardom to see her, and she was quite a stand out person there. I was actually worried someone as cool as her was going to stay in a niche setting and not gain the popularity she deserves. Having heard she debuted in NXT, I think it's great great that she is now getting the recognition she deserves, especially now that female wrestlers can become big stars in the new wrestling atmosphere. I think this sentiment that people can't be fans of her is this pride that comes along with being one of the few people to appreciate something before it becomes popular, so they perceive their original fan value as being diminished. It's a difficult sentiment for people to get over, but I know the feeling of people feeling like the thing they held special is now being shared around.

I dont care if Kids become Fans of Sonic the Hedgehog after watching the movies. Just because I am an old fart who ran through Greehill Zone on my Genesis back in '92 doesnt make me a better Fan. I want more people to enjoy Sonic! If the fanbase grows its much more likely that New games etc will be produced

I believe in Joe Hendry and that if you enjoy wrestling, you will enjoy wrestling. Wrestling is a vast breed. I love PROGRESS wrestling but I wouldn't stick my nose up at someone for not liking it. Everyone has different tastes. As long as you enjoy the show, it should not matter what company it is.

I only talk about wrestling (or any fandom for that matter) in person. Unsurprisingly people don't act like such asses irl.

NXT has a deep womens division but not a lot of women are champion Material (yet). I think Giulia is needed to take the title off Roxy

Oh yay gatekeeping. As if wrestling fans aren't awful enough to begin with.

The gatekeepers clowns are the absolute worst. I grew up with WWE, and I mostly watch WWE. I started watching a bit of AEW. I never saw NJPW until Jericho had his few matches and it was a bit of an event. And much like you say, I've been told I'm not a "real" fan because I don't watch anything else. I'll tell you what I am. Rather than a "real fan", I'm a REAL PERSON. I have a fiancee, 2 kids, a job, friends and other hobbies. Who on earth wants to spend every waking second just doing one thing?!

We're not allowed to like AEW, we're not allowed to like hardcore deathmatch wrestling, we're not allowed to like Giulia, we're not allowed to like any company that isn't WWE. List goes on. I do not care what other people think anymore.

I had never even heard of her before a few months ago.

Giulia she will be on top of NXT and then continue on to the main roster to be one of the best wrestlers in the women’s division possibly the best 🇺🇸☘️🤘🏻⚡️⚡️

The insane fans of both AEW and WWE make it hard for new people to engage.

Gatekeeping is stupid, always.

If you didn’t name your first born child Giulia you’re no true fan of Giulia sorry!

Honestly I feel it’s the tribalistic fans who are celebrating like “WE won, WE got Giulia!” causing the other side to react with the “you don’t even know her” response. Basically I blame tribalism and Giulia seems cool

I 😢 when you were robbed @Alpha 1 and I didn't watch after that, however I still support you I don't know you for long but you're my favorite period 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Giulia was fantastic last night, she has an aura very much like Asuka did in her time in NXT. I already love Asuka, Iyo, and Kairi but there is room in my heart for Giulia as well. I can't wait for her to take over the women's division along with Stephanie Vaquer. Chelsea also gets a round of applauds for helping make Giulia look even better. Chelsea will get her flowers in the WWE one day soon. Oba Femi vs Hammerstone was a huge surprise, I wish the match was longer but it's clear Hammerstone is another one Triple H and HBK have their eye on when his contract is up. The Bloodline destroyed Axiom/Frazier and the Street Profits was unexpected. I see why this might have been while the Rascalz were taken off the match. Ridge Holland is perfect in his role right now. Sol Ruca continues to shine even in defeat, holding her own against Jordynne Grace is nothing to cry about. Sol will be a champion herself one day. Trick William and Pete Dunne beat the hell out of each other. Again NXT proves why it's one of the best wrestling shows on TV.

I'm a politics guy and this reminds me exactly of how people engage with politics online. They view the ideology they hold as a social clique and instead of trying to expand it they want to beat anyone whose less experienced or knowledgeable over the head. It's great if wrestling is a part of your identity but that doesn't mean it is just for you.

New wrestling fan here. I've always been fasinated with wrestling and had been trying to get into it since forever but always got pushed away by other fans due hate speech, sexism and generally making me feel not welcomed. It is only in last 3 years I've been able to watch it on regular basis because I don't see those toxic people as much anymore. I genuinely love wrestling as a medium of storytelling. Some gross person still always does comes out of nowhere randomly but they don't occupy the space anymore

This is important right now. With the TNA partnership and the arrival of the new Bloodline, a good amount of the audience are just getting introduced to a lot of wrestlers and also the TNA brand as a whole. AJ Styles and Seth Rollins have been in WWE long enough where most fans haven’t seen their work before their arrival, and I don’t hate on that. Big fan of Kevin Owens and Bryan Danielson, but I’ve never watch any of their matches prior to WWE but I still count myself as a fan

I wish NXT Ups and Downs were still around. Recently I've been really impressed by the product and the roster. Would love to watch your take on it Simon

Guilla is completely new to me, and I watch lots of wrestling. Mostly, wwe because I have other interests too. Anyway, guilia seems cool enough.

I don’t remember the last time WWE did a PLE in Kansas City, MO I’d love to go to one.

Gatekeeping is the lamest thing ever, just let people enjoy and be exited for things! No one is better for liking something first. Be prideful you were there early and enjoy the success!

Shoutout to Simon! Just watched your match in Alpha 1! You’re killing it bro! 😎

Some people don't realise you can be a fan without being fanatic and entrenched into tribes

Great points. I'm a huge Giulia fan. My first exposure to her was when she was in the crowd and Stand and Deliver. Her response to the crowd acknowledging her was captivating. I then saw her debut and her look and aura is great! That made me check out earlier matches. That made me check out NXT (which I don't usually do). While I don'y have the time to regularily follow NXT, I will follow her from time to time and can;t wait for her WWE debut.

I had that experience with Stephanie Vaquer. The first match of hers I saw was with Mercedes Mone and I was interested, them she was signed by WWE and the gatekeepers came out of the woodwork.

Heya Simon, met you in Worthing, thank you for putting on a great show for the crowd. Had a nice chat/photo with you after, me and my wife had a lovely time. My wife has got into wrestling within the last year or so (I’ve been watching since 1999), and as of All In last year she is a convert. We mainly watch AEW, but also massively appreciate RevPro/NJPW/WWE, and occasionally TNA. We also go to the live shows whenever we can (All In this year was awesome). Thanks for promoting wrestling love on the Tube, and just promoting love in general. Cheers 🍻

Gatekeeping wrestlers huh? This is definitely a new IWC low Your words are falling on deaf ears simon it'll be something new from them by the end of Friday.

Thats right, I absolutely never liked her before she got to WWE. Because i had no clue who she was before she got there lmfao

Giulia is an all star from the stories over at Meerkat Ultra!

I just think it's silly ppl refuse to watch wrestling that isn't broadcast on cable or major streaming services.

Someone was excited about Hammerstone showing up in NXT so another user searched their Twitter to see they’d ever tweeted about him before
