“Someone seriously needs to fire Sidgwick. He’s insufferable. He hates wrestling. He hates wrestling fans. He makes every podcast he’s on a miserable experience. If nothing else give him his own solo projects so people who enjoy his endless negativity can listen to him there and spare the rest of us from his endless spite. We listen because we’re wrestling fans. We’re not simpletons. Wrestling isn’t perfect. It’s sometimes dumb. It can be silly and even embarrassing, but overall we watch because we enjoy it. If we didn’t enjoy it, we’d do something else. So why in the world would we want to listen to someone complain endlessly about how stupid and awful he thinks it is. The only reason Sidgwick seems to watch is because it’s his job. I can only assume it’s easy work with good pay, because I can’t imagine staying with any job that would cause me to be so miserable. The real question is why he hasn’t been fired. You can be unbiased and have negative opinions on things, but when you seem to hate everything as a starting point, you have nothing useful to say. No insightful analysis, no constructive criticism. Just “this is terrible, simple, and unoriginal, and people should be ashamed for watching.” As entertaining as these podcasts can be when Sidgwick is somewhere quietly stewing in his revulsion and hatred, every time he speaks he makes it unbearable. We get it. Everything we love is stupid and we’re stupid for enjoying it. Now go away.”
