I mean, Finn Balor was basically behaving like a frat boy during his reign of terror (a term which might have more than one meaning!) so wrestlers old school and making it snow seems like a logical thing to happen. Still, fuck Velveteen Dream.
I mean, I think one year with a roster comprised essentially of rookies and people new to that audience is an impressive feat. I remember the outlook when 2.0 first started was much, much more pessimistic.
I guess their thought process was that him basically being a creepy fuck in their locker room was much easier to prove. Would probably explain why they decided to keep Theory despite similar allegations against him.
