So, I got scolded on Twitter by Jonathan Coachman.
I was browsing Reddit, R/squaredcircle to be specific, and I saw a thread that featured a screen shot of Jonathan Coachman’s infamous tweet regarding Ronda Rousey going to WWE. I clicked the tweet for further context and found this gem:
Amazing performance by Nunes. I am afraid this will be the final time we see Rousey. Not fun to see on any level. End of an era. #UFC207

Yes, she suffered two brutal losses. To be fair Holly Holm is a horrible matchup for Ronda and Amanda Nunes may be skill-for-skill the best women’s bantamweight we’ve seen, but back to the matter at hand. I’m sure many of you have seen Coach’s follow-up tweet when someone responded his initial tweet:
Sorry no chance. You can't bring in her at any point. Perception matters. That performance mattered. https://t.co/0HGPgVNLod

I jokingly quoted the tweet on the TAWF account and said, “this aged well.” Sure, it was petty to tag @OldTakesExposed, but I thought it’d be funny because a year after Coach’s tweet, Ronda Rousey was pointing at the WrestleMania sign in front of a rabid WWE crowd. Wow, that’s wild. It’s almost like WWE didn’t have to rebuild a supposedly broken star because, stick with me here, Ronda Rousey is still a superstar in the eyes of the general public.
If perception mattered that much, Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock would’ve been booed out of the building when they came back to wrestling. Brock got destroyed by Cain Velasquez and Allistair Overeem. Ken Shamrock lost his UFC Superfight title to Dan Severn in one of the worst fights in UFC history (in Detroit, no less).
Of course, Coach wasn’t as amused and responded to my retweet:
When you do a show called @FirstTake you have to give an OPINION. For the last time I couldn’t be happier to be wrong on that take. I want everyone to succeed. But for those of you who think somehow this matters now are doing what you did then. Watching us work. #moveon. https://t.co/HiDEgfrdHC
