Made him look like a generic early 90s jobber. Don't think he should be trying german suplexes on the outside. And yeah it ended with the crowed booing him and chanting bullshit. Great debut. Good job everyone, WWE!

OK, he has to live in Florida which is no Glasgow I'll grant you, but he'd never earn the money on the indies he's on now for working less than 50 dates over the last 4 years. I just hope he's got some healthy hobbies for all that free-time. You know they still have him showing up to the PC every day destroying his knees doing dumbass workouts.

Is the PC still a knee implosion factory? I keep hearing that it's gotten better under new management (i.e. not Hugh Morris), and the common refrain everywhere else on the internet is that AEW needs something like it to develop their younger talent because the indies aren't good enough.

AEW totally doesn't need a variant on the PC, but I also haven't paid close attention to WWE/NXT stuff for a long time so I wasn't sure if their system had improved since the days of Bill DeMott making Festus stinkface people during training drills.

Last I checked, there were like four women on injury leave from NXT because of knee injuries and torn ACLs. Anyone yelling about how AEW needs a performance center is arguing in bad faith and can be safely ignored.

When I read stuff about out of shape/body type, I kind of want to see screens of the match because I'm assuming from the comments that it's meant to imply that Stevenson looked fat or something. It bothers me a bit because wrestlers like Otis and Jonah don't have impressive builds but are still pretty athletic.

It's just not the best costume design. Seriously, see how much better he looks when they jump ahead to when he dropped the straps. (But then, Corbin has a tank top in his entrance that makes him look both shiny and lumpy, so it's bad looks all around.)

KungFu Grip posted:lmao tiffany straton just won a submission match with the worst boston crab i've ever seen She was completely gassed or concussed. The whole last 5 minutes of that match were a mess. Tiffany got top rope suplexed right on her neck, then kinda tapped out to the Kimura but not quite which led to dueling crowd chants of "you tapped out" and "no she didn't". Then she put on the awful boston crab but like couldn't hold onto the legs and had to keep readjusting for what seemed like forever, then turned it into a single leg crab after like almost falling over. That was a disaster of a match. Fish Of Doom fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Not a Randy Orton body but they look unique and cool. Steveson just looked like a guy. Maybe a guy who had played football in college or something, but just a guy. But this: Lurks With Wolves posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK1_0E5ZLys I don't think many people look flattering in a generic singlet. Even Wardlow looks kinda dumpy and he has a fantastic body. And Steveson was nowhere near as defined as Wardlow. The whole presentation was bad.
