The whole thing is typical behavior of a classic schoolyard bully. They dish it out for years, make dramatic statements like "this is where opponents dreams come to die." while pounding their chest about how big and bad they are, and the drunken goon fanbase follows suit. Then, when someone FINALLY comes along and pops them good, they go grasping for an excuse and whining to the authorities with stunning speed. So they can dish it out, but they sure as hell can't take it. I mean, we kind of expect this sniveling snitchy behavior from other fanbases who seem to embrace their "preppy ******* from a 1980's movie" stereotype pretty well, but I expected a higher tolerance for roughness from those big tough hard-livin' swamp donkeys.
