I was fully prepared for Malakai Black to be the sort of wrestling bullshit I roll my eyes at, and I’m incredibly excited to learn he’s actually the kind of wrestling bullshit I love. Big fan of the Road To video package, could listen to endless segments of him saying meaningless stuff like “I’m all your sins personified” without ever getting any deeper into his Lore than that. I love the dumb decision to have all his scenes be in black-and-white while all Cody’s are in color. I even love his dumb black eye smudge. And most importantly I love that everything he does has been punctuated with a heavy dose of violence

Good wrestler imo

It feels like he took major inspiration from Jake Roberts with his cadence. He was probably doing that before, too, but it comes across so well here.

Just looking at the special match graphic is making me happy. The special boy needs an elemental Good v. Evil image to sell this fight he’s been building for four weeks. And hell, who am I to tell him he’s wrong

Has there ever been a wrestling shirt that included an actual photo of a wrestler (instead of just a design or drawing) that wasn’t the worst kind of awful embarrassing garbage?

I've also felt like Lance Storm would be the fourth labor, because I think Lance would be up for it, but I don't think it would get the surprise pop that Gage or even Juvi got, so I don't think they're going that direction.

I haven't seen the rap nor would I have gotten the reference but on the whole it's more fun if Max just targets gimmicks

which on the one hand if a gimmick is "college sports stars and a cheerleader" that does create certain openings by association, on the other hand if you can reference Kingston's time in Chikara without touching on how Chikara ended...

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Max should should probably stick to people in the company who he can clear these with and not attack an Olympian who pulled out because of mental health issues or reference a horrific rape incident by the local college sports team. There's a way to be edgy without targeting innocent people

gently caress WWE but there is no loving way anyone here would be caping for rape joker max caster if he wasn’t aew, the lack of self awareness is wild you can love something and not strive to interpret it through some bizarre prism of “the good guys”

For real. Love AEW, but this thread can be a loving embarrassment at times.

I hope and trust that AEW will take this poo poo more seriously.

I hope the acclaimed's next rap is just a series of racial slurs, transphobia and genocide denial and I can read people in this thread complaining about a bunch of crybabies who got worked/don't understand real heel heat because there are others asking for an apology or expressing concern that the promo stepped over the line.


edit:
To explain my frustration and prevent a weird derail, I'm not comparing the existing rap to those arguably worse concepts, but I think certain posters have no line they won't forgive or make fun of others for objecting to if it's delivered by a moderately entertaining heel.

If the heel gets their comeuppance to show that the things they say and do are bad then go nuts, it’s only a problem when they say and do terrible things and then Booker T doesn’t win the title because apparently we’re supposed to agree the racist was right all along.

I've defended Max Caster in the past, but there's a huge difference between a storyline where you make fun of your opponent and joking about women getting raped. I think Caster is talented enough to get heat without rape jokes. If he's not, he's not someone I care to see on TV. And AEW deserves just as much blame for not cutting the promo in the six days they had.
