The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled: TVchase’s Anthology on the Punk/Elite Feud (media.kbin.social)

With all the hoopla around Punk/Elite, I thought it’d be a good time to post this anthology. For those who don’t know, TVChase was a reddit-user with a strong background in gathering and examining information (they worked in a newsroom, I believe). Their series breaks down how the feud may have been a work from the very beginning.

If you’re into the feud at all then I highly recommend giving this a read. It’s long—about the length of a novella at least—but it’s some of the most compelling stuff I’ve ever seen on the internet.

Below are links to each part of the anthology. The links come directly from TVChase’s website so you won’t have to worry about visiting that other place.

I don't want to get into the weeds on this; I find the dialogue around this feud becomes too divisive for my tastes. For me, speculating about whether this is all real or not is as much fun as trying to figure out who would sit on the iron throne in GoT, or what the island was in Lost, or who killed Mr. Burns in the Simpsons. Basically, I treat wrestling no differently than I do a scripted program. It's fun to speculate where things are going, and if I'm wrong I don't care, as long as I'm entertained.

If you guys want to argue about this go nuts. I'll just be listening in the shadows, making sure you all stay kind to each other. BUT before you get your claws out, give this anthology a read. It's a damn good time if you have an open-mind.

These threads are probably my favourite posts to ever come out of the old SquaredCircle. Can only hope one day there's more updates to enjoy.

Couldn't agree more. And I think the longer you read the better it gets. It's worth it for the crazy numerology alone lol
