If there was ever a guy who was the embodiment of catchphrase over

I haven't seen or heard Eli Drake since he left TNA. I wasn't that impressed at the time but he was certainly more entertaining than EC3. Here is hoping he doesn't get Zack Rydered for the crime of getting himself over.

I dunno youtube randomly started showing me la knight promos and his earlier stuff. people do like to say yeah cause it's fun to say yeah but based on what I've seen he can convincingly make a crowd believe he wants to kick a guy's rear end without it feeling like a team of writers spent a week storyboarding it.

Like back in the territory days when you'd drive 500 miles for a TV spot and they'd be like 'you have 2 minutes, get this feud, your opponent and yourself over, okay go' and I feel like he could do that easily and it's refreshing. I've never seen him do a single move so he might be complete dogshit but feels like there's more than just a catchphrase imo

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

For those not watching Smackdown, Charlotte and Iyo had a match that was absolutely loving awful. And despite being the heel, the audience was cheering for Iyo at the end of it because Charlotte looked like absolute dogshit. She also hit the worst ever natural selection ever.

Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

Was she intentionally trying to make that move look bad for some reason? Like Shawn Michaels doing the comic oversell for Hogan thing? If so, why? If not, what the gently caress was that?

I mean, it really looked like that was a 100% person-taking-the-move botch, she was straight as a board until it was practically over.

Charlotte has exactly two levels:

1) She can give a poo poo and look good (Wrestlemania match against Rhea comes to mind) but it's incredibly rare.

2) She won't give a poo poo and makes everyone (including herself) look like poo poo. This is as common as fish are in the ocean. This was her tonight. And her match against Asuka a couple of weeks ago.

There's nothing between those levels either. It's all or nothing for her. And more often than not she doesn't give a gently caress because she knows she won't catch heat for it (at least from people who matter), because both Triple H and Vince McMahon are massive Ric Flair marks, and WWE is obsessed with the idea that people/fans will start liking her when she breaks Ric Flair's record, when in reality no one will give a gently caress at best, as she's the least liked of the WWE 4HW by a significant margin.

she didnt want to bump on the floor so she makes the move look bad instead. Her dads generation is extremely in her ear.
