You should look at wrestling that isn't WWE and you'd find what you're looking for.

Burchill was clearly copying Pirates of the Carribbean and it was entertaining. So of course McMahon shelved it because his cheese brain didn't understand it.

THREE TIME! THREE TIME!
Hasn't that story already made the rounds a dozen different times before?

It has to be wild to be someone like Burchill and have one goofy gimmick that lasted 3 months on the biggest stage become the entirety of your wrestling legacy. Or be, like, Eugene and get indy bookings based off that character where you have to try and portray it as 90% less offensive than what it was actually portrayed as.

Butt first, let's

I think it’s been a common story for a long time that Burchill was doing Sparrow but Vince didn’t get it so they had to evoke Errol Flynn or something. I guess Regal is just a first hand account confirmation?

Now somebody ask him about McMahon's inspiration for the "Burchill and Katarina are incestuous siblings" gimmick

Oh yeah I'd say about 70% of modern wrestling I watch is indie, I was just complaining about the WWE specifically. I'm lucky to have a great indie scene near me.

Yeah he has no facial expression whatsoever and is doing the most bargain bin Goldust impression I’ve ever seen. He’s not even doing the mannerisms when they’d make sense, he just seems to remember every couple of seconds that he needs to do a Goldust.

Did he at least ride his scooter to the ring?

Definitely needs to slow down a bit in between things. He’s doing all of these taunts and mannerisms that don’t get space to breathe because he immediately moves to doing something else. That’ll come with time, though. Nothing here was like laughably bad or anything and I liked the running uppercut. He’ll probably be fine!

I'm assuming that we're getting The Alliance to End The Tribal Chief and I'd be lying if I didn't want Sammi to start off on Owen's team then stab him in the back to kickstart a proper WWE blood feud that lasts until mania

Main roster Wargames will be cool but I'll miss the elimination tag matches. I always liked those.

Bloodline vs. a group led by KO is probably what will happen
