Yeah, dude tried to leap into it, but just looked awkward. Apparently Hobbs is calling it "Town Business"

His promo later in the show was great. Dude needs the mic more often.

Nope, that was a classic Toney miscall, Town Business is a completely different move.

He does need more mic time though because he's a great promo.

He has a different finisher that he calls that name, and I was just assuming that Tony called a move the wrong name again.

His Unrestricted episode was great, and I'm going to really dig if he starts feuding with Brian Cage.

If I remember correctly, Town Business is an Emerald Flowsion. He was using a falling powerslam a la the World's Strongest Slam for a while, but I'm not aware if it was a named move.

Back before he lost his first name they were calling his spinebuster the Last Will and Testament.

Cutler feels like someone who has figured out that he is never going to be the Ace of a company where Kenny and the Bucks work, but that a good Fool will always get work. He's genuinely great at it. Little things like not being able to stop spraying are near perfect.

One thing I like is that they basically re-gimmicked him when they put him in the role of Elite's young boy. Before he had all the dragon gear and the face paint, but the instant they made him a lackey they put him in a dumb track suit and gave him the stupid looking face mask. They didn't go so far as to put him under a full mask and pretend he is a different character or anything, but they made Geek Cutler visually distinct. So if they complete this angle and they want him to go back to wrestling real matches, they can have an angle where he tosses the mask and the track suit. Even though we all know it's the same guy, it's a good trick to preserve some part of his credibility and not stick him with total comedy jobber forever.

Cutler seems like a genuine good guy and does pretty decent in ring work. He has that touch for comedy wrestling that isn't WWEcringe.

Said this when AEW first started - promotions need Disco Inferno's. Not as in Gilberti who is a tosser, but those loveable jobbers who won't go anywhere but are beloved all the same. It's something WWE long forgot about with the brand being the star and thus everyone has to be 50/50 or a loser.

Hell La Parka in WCW was memorable and a Hall of Famer but can anyone in good faith look at his WCW run as pushed? He was a cool looking skeleton luchador jobber. Much like a certain Pentagon Jr. in Lucha Underground originally.

In conclusion:

In fairness the face mask is because he suffered an orbital bone fracture or something like that, he done got his face broke, though I'm also not sure if that was kayfabe or not.

The most damning indictment of WCW is that they couldn't figure out how to get La Parka, a dancing skeleton man who fans instinctively liked, over in any meaningful way.

They can always try again, he is just a lot fatter with two skeleton sons. He is pretty well protected now though, but it would be worth it to see chairman vs chairman.

Cutler is also listed as "Executive Producer of Content" for AEW, so I guess that's a fancy way of saying he basically heads up creative?

It's this. That is in fact the second contract referred to in his nickname, two contract Cutler. I think he also does other non-bte production.

Honestly feels like Fuego falls into this category but as a scrappy babyface jobber you could conceivably run a giant killer angle with at some point or whatever rather than a comedy sad sack loser.

I just realized that wrestlers still committing to y2k era nu-metal style for their wrestling characters are basically the same gimmick as Disco Inferno in the 90s.

This is fake news.

Disco was Disco Inferno in 1995.

Disco ended 1980.

So if anything the numetal gimmicks are 5 years more out of date.
