I have only just found this thread and am slowly reading through it but need to point out that Damien Sandow ruled loving so much (even before the Mizdow stuff which also ruled) and I stopped watching wrestling after he got hosed over cause it made me sad.

Paige was engaged to Alberto Del Rio but he was an abusive wanker and they eventually broke up and she's now with Ronnie Radke, the singer from Falling in Reverse. She got a major neck injury in 2018 and had to retire and now she's mostly a Twitch streamer

The Rabbi T. White posted:Holy poo poo that rules. Yeah that's some heel promo all right. My big problem with AEW is that when you're getting into it, the main card seems to consist of one stable of douchy white bros in tacky blazer jackets, another stable of douchy white bros in slightly different tacky blazer jackets and probably a few more douchy white guy bro blazer stables. I wouldn't say I'd like to see a return to the days of Doink the Clown, but man... Luckily there's a ton of really good workers in the promotion, so even if you don't give a poo poo about White Guy in Blazer feuding with Another White Guy in Slightly Different Blazer, there's a ton of great matches to enjoy.

The Big Show's finisher was a literal punch for a decade, they called it weapon of mass destruction therefore it was a finisher

As bad as Sandow got hosed over, towards the end, he killed his good will with this forum thanks to his appearances on Xavier Woods' Up Up Down Down show. The show was mostly about wrestlers hanging out out of character and playing video games, which in turn made everyone so much more likeable. Sandow decided that instead of that, he would hang out while pretending to be a tryhard white rapper and it was the worst. Then after he left WWE, he went to TNA as  and had gained quite a bit of weight. It was rough.

A clown makes the most sense out of any of the early 90s "job" gimmicks because wrestling is inherently such a carny sideshow business. Although by that logic Kizarney should have worked like an absolute charm, and he did not. Evil Doink, by the way, but for the 90s, not for today when the whole evil clown thing is so prevalent that friendly clown is the subversion.

I don't think kizarny was given a chance to get over they wouldn't let him do any of the cool freakshow tricks he knew from actually growing up in the carnival like drinking thumbtacks and breathing fire and poo poo, didn't let him speak in anything but carny which just meant nobody could understand him, debuted him as a face, and let him go after two months it was a pretty typical "vince staples a wrestler's feet together then fires them for not being able to dance" run

Sure but I'd argue that's not the top main event roster, but I'll admit I may be wrong about this since I have been watching AEW for a short time only. Also, it's probably not a coincidence that the women's matches, tag team matches and not-main-events that I find myself fully watching and paying attention to.

Completely par for the course for wrestling that the midcard has all the interesting characters and goofy stories while the main event scene is Very Serious and features largely interchangable dudes (although AEW is ahead of the curve by a great amount there, between Moxley and Omega and all).

I guess it depends whether you're talking about main event as in the AEW title feud or who's in the main event of dynamite each week. If it's the former then of the three champions so far there's some similarity between Jericho and Omega, but between them was 10 months of Jon Moxley who isn't exactly a blazer wearing too cool douche with a stable, and the only people he fought in that period that would hit your criteria were MJF and Omega. If it's about the main event of TV, last week was the dentist, the week before was turtles kid, the week before that was drunk cowboy, the week before that was lucha bros etc. One of the biggest things I like about AEW is how they constantly cycle people in and out of TV instead of making a show with the same 12 people for 6 months at a time. Anyway, what I'm saying is give it another chance if you're inclined, it's really fun TV. blunt fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Mar 24, 2021 |
