So as you can see in the picture, I threw a party last year. AEW is a pro wrestling company, much like WWE. They had this big outdoor show at Wembley Stadium in London. Sold something like 80,000 tickets. We watched live on PPV.
It’s the first time I ever threw a wrestling watch party. I invited 4 people. I bought cheese, soft pretzels, bought chips/queso. I had vodka, whiskey, beer, and 3 different THC vape pens along with edible gummies. I also had coke (the soda), barqs root beer, and one of the special novelty mountain dew flavors.
I cooked chicken, and cut the cheese into cubes with individual toothpicks. I got out my good plates. And used the projector to make the screen 90 inches.
Only 2 people showed up. Nobody ate hardly anything. Nobody drank anything. Hardly anything was said. This picture was taken AFTER the party. We went through 1 bag of chips, and 1 1/2 jars of queso.
I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work.
I even had 2 different styles of BBQ sauce for the chicken.
Yes, it’s a year later, and I’m still mildly infuriated over it!
The E in WWE is for Entertainment.
Some people enjoy belittling other’s choices on the internet. Some enjoy watching the drama of fake wrestling.
I’m very much into a variety of entertainment. And fake wrestling was fun to watch when I was a kid. Not trying to belittle anyone, more just surprised that grown adults still watch it.
I haven’t watched since WWF Attitude Era, but there really is nothing like wrestling. It’s such crazy performance art, with sick flips and insane feats of strength. I also called it fake like the person you responded to when I was 11, but now that I’m an adult, I recognize how fantastic it really is.
Also RIP Big Cat Scott Henson.
