Are Wrestling Fans Judging Stories Too Early? | Kevin Knight, Mercedes Moné & Thekla

Has social media changed the way wrestling fans experience stories?This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams examine the intense reaction to Kevin Knight joining the Don Callis Family and ask a larger question: Are wrestling fans judging the end of stories before they've seen the beginning? The duo explores how modern wrestling discourse is shaped by instant reactions, fantasy booking, and assumptions about where a storyline is headed before it has a chance to develop.The conversation also turns to the return of Mercedes Moné and what her presence means for AEW's women's division. Is bringing back one of the biggest stars in wrestling enough to secure more television time and meaningful storylines for the women of AEW? Plus, Thekla declares "DEATH to STARDOM!" and immediately positions herself as one of the most intriguing figures in the company. What comes next for Thekla, Mercedes, and the future of the women's division?Join Blade and Books for a thoughtful and spirited discussion covering AEW Dynamite, Kevin Knight, the Don Callis Family, Mercedes Moné, Thekla, wrestling fandom, storytelling, and the evolving landscape of All Elite Wrestling.Give us a 5-star review wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a comment!
