There are so many different types of people in the gigantic world of pro wrestling fandom. Most people are great, and we certainly all have our qualities that can annoy others.
There are, however, specific types of fans you should really avoid being. Among them, “The run and tattle guy.”
This kind of person who gets some sort of weird joy of looping people into discussions to try and upset them can go away any time now.
Today, it was on display when someone felt the need to run to Jim Cornette because a gif was posted by @MrLARIATO of Kota Ibushi wrestling a blow-up doll back during his time with DDT Pro.

Whether or not that led to Cornette’s ignorant old man outburst toward Ibushi and Kenny Omega, it’s still incredibly lame.
Similarly, if someone says something negative about a wrestler and doesn’t tag them, they’re not in need of you to go out and tag the wrestler. You’re not taking some noble “say it to their face” stand, you’re just being a nerd.
In a fun turn with today’s situation, Omega handled business just fine.
Jim, I warned you about this. I said you could use my name to continue making your living as long as you refrain from polluting my TL. Don’t force my hand.

- In other, and considerably more interesting, old-timer news, Jim Ross thinks Braun Strowman is on track to be “The Man” in WWE come 2019, though he said he wouldn’t pull the trigger until then.
- Speaking of “The Man,” WWE UK champ Pete Dunne made note of his need to take out WWE universal champ Brock Lesnar to establish his place as the longest reigning champion in the company.
- Rey Mysterio is still the most liked WWE post on Instagram.
- Did you check out NXT yet? How about our NXT recap?
- Does Matt Sydal need to be a bigger douchebag? Was he last night?
- Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling are still a thing, and they’ve got a new alliance.
- John Morrison will need an alliance soon, as he’s confirmed for the next season of Survivor.
Boy, the end of today’s column came ... outta nowhere.
