drat that guy is a huge ripoff of the rock. i dont see the stone cold part though. that seems to be based on him being a hick acting like the rock instead of just a guy from somewhere else doing it. i'm not sure why a maryland guy sounds like that oklahoma type guy instead of like a merlin person. well that's all about the product tonight. see you tomorrow

He was on that Rock competition show like 20 years ago and he sounded the same then and they made jokes about it during it I remember, so it's probably not outright theft; but he's definitely leaning into what got the Rock to be the ultimate guy.

So apparently Rey was legit injured and they had to stop his match tonight on Smackdown? Sounds like a concussion?

I guess Rey got hurt. Looked out of the match a bit then smacked his head on the floor after being hit by a tope.

Looks like they did

Two major neck surgeries in a row, one last September and another this May. Turned 47 the day he needed the other one, I don’t wanna say he’s definitely done but I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s been thinking about it

Pffft. Copied the idea from AAA. Antonio Pena owned the rights to the gimmicks he created, like Pentagon & La Parka, hence why the original La Parka became LA Park or the former Pentagón Jr. goes by Penta El Zero Miedo & various variations when he's not in AAA.

Isn't that basically what late-stage WCW did, turning Shawn Stasiak into the new Mr. Perfect and Chuck Palumbo swiping Lex Luger's "Total Package" gimmick?

Just let it shine through
wrestling characters should be eternal, like batman or spiderman. just let new dudes be undertaker and hulk hogan and the hitman or whatever. who cares. if you did it with care and not trying to gently caress the workers like with fake razor ramon, it could work.

they already do it anyway with gimmicks a la ric flair and the nature boy thing

I sorta get his preoccupation with the branding of X for a platform that can Do Everything, it's difficult to explain but I can see how you would like at X and think it fits as a name for something that's supposed to be very ubiquitous and versatile. But it is very funny how he just shoves his hands over his ears and tries to bulldoze past the fact that in current popular culture, the two things X are most associated with are porn and closing something, often something you didn't want open in the first place.
