Samoa Joe isn’t a fan of the tribalism on social media as it pertains to the long-running Playstation vs. Xbox debate. The AEW World Champion wrote,
“Whenever I see Xbox vs Playstation talk. I just sit back and shake my head at people arguing over who gets to extort them for money every month.
If only Blockbuster and Hollywood Video could have got their feud right, they might still be around.”
Of course, wrestling also features tribalism between fans of the various promotions worldwide.
