Isn't That Right, Chairman?

You're in charge. Do you ever pull the plug on the Timeless Toni Storm gimmick or let it run her whole career? Maybe a John Cena thing where he was no longer the Doctor of Thuganomics but retained elements of it in his later character?

You keep it until it stops being over and well-liked.

For those that watch GCW more than a week a year, is there a reason why Jimmy Lloyd is Matt Cardona's lacky? Like I get Steph De Lander, but what happened to Jimmy?

He lost a match with the stip being that he had to become Cardona’s broski

Why is the choice an immediate cold turkey termination of the gimmick, or carrying it her entire career? I reject the very premise of your question.

Timeless Toni Storm moves from the 1940s black and white aesthetic, to 1960s~70s New Wave cinema aesthetic, starting with a deconstructivist approach similar to Godard when he did À bout de souffle or Une femme est une femme, or Easy Rider, something like that, until she reaches the modern day.

Or she eventually drops the title, give her time off, and then bring her back as the All New Toni Storm, who refuses to acknowledge Timeless. Like, "I haven't the slightest clue what you're on about, darling" and looking confused whenever it's mentioned.

They’re gonna bring Kevin Dunn in for all the Godard jump cuts.

Toni Storm owns but it's obviously too gimmicky to last forever, so yeah it'll be interesting to see how she keeps it fresh until it's time to put it down.

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



Very very excited for Toni's Quentin Dupieux phase

(She's already been dialing down the gimmick and making it a fuller personality and it's lead to some very good matches; I'm sure it'll be fine as she goes. She's doing well as the over-the-top delusional sort with a dash of amusing old school wrestling and film references)

This all leads to an albino Juice Robinson fighting a magical construct of Juice Robinson as they discuss the Ship of Theseus.

I have a vivid memory of seeing (maybe) Big Kev mimicking pouring a drink while having someone waiting to take a jackknife.

Am i crazy or did Kev or Scott also mimic doing coke lines as well?

Smoking a joint and stubbing it out on whomever is waiting for the powerbomb.

I remember asking about it before, and recently I swear I’ve seen Thunder Rosa do that quickly in the lead to her new-ish finisher Tijuana Bomb as well.

thank you for putting that together for me, Rosa's indeed done that taunt in that situation before but I had no idea what she was miming

That made me think... what is the most out of pocket taunt like that...

For me it must be Road Dogg loving your rear end before his pumphandle... i wonder how many times he got away with it before somebody slapped him for the disrespect

I mean, would you rather get dry humped before a pumphandle slam, or take the Stinkface or Bronco Buster or some other move which is itself a gross taunt.

"Spitting food in people's faces" was a guy's gimmick for years.
