Okay, so today I was messing around with something that got me thinking, and I figured I’d share my little adventure with you all. It all started when I was diving deep into the world of wrestling, as one does on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I stumbled upon this whole thing about NXT UK TakeOver, specifically the one in Cardiff. You know, the one where the crowd started chanting, “Are you watching?” It was wild!
So, I got curious. What was this all about? I started digging around, reading up on forums and whatnot. Turns out, this chant was aimed at Vince McMahon. Yeah, the big boss of WWE. The fans were basically trying to get his attention, to show him that the NXT UK wrestlers were killing it and deserved more of a spotlight. Pretty bold, right?
Then I found out that this wasn’t the first time something like this happened. Apparently, after NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, there was similar buzz. Fans were going nuts, talking about how awesome the show was and how Vince needed to see it. I guess the fans felt that he was missing out and that is was important for him to pay attention to the talent in the UK.
Diving into the Twitter-verse
Now, this is where it gets interesting. I went on Twitter, because, where else do you go for the real scoop, right? And guess what? I found out that Vince McMahon actually tweeted about watching the NXT UK TakeOver event! He said he loved it. Imagine that, the big man himself giving a shout-out to NXT UK. It’s like the fans’ voices were actually heard. He tweeted with “Yes, I watched #NXTUKTakeOver. Yes.” in a simple way.
Here’s what I did next:
- Searched for Vince McMahon’s Twitter account. Because who wouldn’t want to see that tweet firsthand?
- Scrolled through his tweets around the time of the NXT UK TakeOver events. I was on a mission to find that specific tweet.
- Read through the replies to his tweet. I wanted to see what other fans were saying and if there was any more buzz about it.
- Compared the dates of the events with the dates of the tweets. Just to make sure I had my facts straight.
After all this digging, it hit me how cool it is that fans can have such an impact. They saw something great in NXT UK, they made their voices heard, and it actually reached the top. It’s a testament to the power of the wrestling community and how passionate they are about the sport and the performers.
So, that’s my little story of how I spent my day geeking out about wrestling and Twitter. It’s amazing how one chant can lead you down a rabbit hole of discovery. And it’s a great reminder that sometimes, all you have to do is ask, and you might just get an answer, even from the top.
