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:
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:
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:
