It seems like you're on the right track actually, and it was obvious john manipulated his battle results by how the stadium constantly shifted each round, was completely biased against all MFB (ex: Draciel MS VS Phantom Orion B
), outraged at any suspicion about his battles and so on. Don't get me wrong, I loved the way he made his battles, I used to respect and admire John up until I realized the reality of it all.
In fact, I don't like how we have new/returning people coming back to beyblade and watching those biased battles of his. It really gives off a false perspective of what beys actually perform well in battle.
Sorry I read backwards a little bit.
In my opinion it doesn't matter if battle results are manipulated in a casual video such as the ones done by John. Sure it doesn't have the true perspective of what beys perform well in battle, but they're all stock battles anyway for the most part. I think the fact that he went through such trouble to get a great looking shot was a great thing! Youtube is about content consumption. If the battle looks great then why be so critical toward it? If it's a tournament type setting or a bob or whatever they are, I would imagine you would need to be accurate as possible... 
I'm sure you go through tons of edits to get however many battles you have.
I also wanted to say that every beyblade youtuber gives a 'false perspective' of what beys actually perform well in battle. jp0t for example, isn't the best at attack types, but there are people who only exclusively watch her. Attack types almost always lose in her channel. Conversely, attack types are seemingly overpowered on unicorno xtreme's channel, where he has a lot more experience and launch strength with attack types.
It's relative and perspective.
I think we should appreciate everyone who makes Youtube videos and not be so negative or critical toward people who want to be similar or look similar to other Youtubers and their styles. There's nothing wrong with being similar to another Youtuber just as long as it's not a complete copy. You really can only do so much with a Beyblade video... and I mean... any Beyblade related content is helping the community regardless.
The hover stadium is awesome.
It's not that I'm trying to be negative towards john. Like I said before I respected his work at one point. Sure there are false perspectives of battles out there but I just want to reiterate this: When you make biased battles, and claim they're genuine, I think that's crossing the line and plain wrong. And his work just influences other people who don't know about the WBO or aren't that knowledgable with beyblade to believe certain beyblades are the "Best".
Getting inspired to make beyblade videos from other people is completely fine, I have no problem with that actually. In fact I've had people tell me I've inspired them, and it feels great!

Who cares, let him be and let him think his false battles are "legit", if we know that they're not authentic battles that show actual results one would get if doing 20 round testings then i do not see why this "argument" should even continue if we know not to take his videos seriously. Just let him be and let him continue making his epic plastics videos.
And this is why he no longer is around. I'm sure the suspicion got to him. I don't see the righteousness in cursing out people for such a ridiculous reason. As far as I can tell this isn't really an argument though, at least it's not as bad as what you considered a "joke" last time..
