Orton had his best match with Foley and its been downhill since then. I can see why wrestlers call him the best wrestler ever because the man literally does gently caress all and still gets a massive reaction.

In an alternate universe Orton leverages his look, size, general competence and cool finisher into a mostly-unheralded journeyman career until he hits a point when non-Fedpilled wrestling nerds have the same kind of reaction to him as modern day Frankie Kazarian, saying stuff like “You know Orton can lowkey go, he just knows what he’s doing out there” He’s boring in both universes though

CM Punk coming to AEW beloved and having good matches after a bit of build is the same as Bret Hart coming to WCW and looking like a goof almost immediately by restarting the main event as a special referee or something cause no one gets screwed on his watch even though there was no visible screwjob going on (whether the ref hosed up or Hogan told him to count slow, brother, I don't know, but that doesn't matter.) These two are the same thing. Sorry, I didn't read past the first line of that take, so I don't know if the poster explains the deep nuance behind their rock-solid reasoning. If anything I'd compare CM Punk debuting in AEW to Sting debuting in AEW because they overdo the same "Sting will speak tonight" crap which got old after a while, only it took longer for Punk. But they stopped doing that already so what is there even to complain about?

Saying Hobbs and Garcia won't ever be stars and Punk shouldn't interact with them is some real self fulfilling prophecy poo poo.

This isn't a response to anything specific but we've seen a ton of takes in this thread about how AEW is signing too many people, they don't have enough spots, bloated roster, etc. Well they have Mox and Omega out indefinitely right now, but the roster is so deep they can easily plug in super-talented guys to fill those spots and not miss a beat. Similar to how New Japan lost Nakamura/Styles in one day but already had the next wave ready to go. There's no such thing as a "full roster," especially in wrestling where careers are short and one injury or fed signing can completely derail plans. The smart promotions are constantly replenishing their bench and building up guys who can step up when needed. In other words, AEW knows what they're doing.

Omega apparently has been wrestling for 3 years with vertigo which is crazy.
