To the men and women in the ring: we see you. We see the grueling schedules, the physical toll, and the genuine bonds you form across company lines. We understand that in an industry this small, your coworkers are your family, and your "competitors" are often your best friends.
But there is something the locker room needs to understand: the fans didn't choose this war. Tribalism isn't a grassroots movement; it's a top-down strategy that has filtered through generations of the business, designed to stifle collaboration and maintain a monopoly on the culture.
True "collaboration" is not just a buzzword; it’s a healthy ecosystem where the industry thrives together. For some, however, success is only measured by the failure of others. We are choosing to stay home until the culture of collusion and the legacy of horrific acts are fully dismantled.
