The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?

Not only did they make him lame they also rewarded him for getting Roman and the Bloodline super over by getting him to the mid card as quick as possible and transferring his story to the Usos

He was in a position to be THE firey babyface that WWE needed in that point in time but they did nothing with him and then he got a lil tubby and grew a beard and now he's making a lot of money hanging with his best friend, I wish the same fortune for all posters itt

Yeah mostly. Though he just about single handedly carried the Bloodline gimmick into being good, at least for awhile

They split him and KO up onto different shows again though :lol:

About a decade ago I had a pleasant conversation on Twitter with X-Pac about the legalization of cannabis (we both agreed on it), so X-Pac has in fact always been cool.

Weed is boring. I prefer alcohol because it makes you a better singer and more attractive to people.

even the stories where he's being a dipshit make him sound endearing like the story about how he annoyed Axl Rose backstage after a show

Because if he is a dipshit its an accidental dipshit which makes it funny.

In all the years I've known him, I've only seen him truly mad once. He then spent 20 minutes after his outburst explaining his position rationally like to the point where we were like ok Larry David

Speaking of legal weed, last night's Rampage was great to watch under the influence. I didn't realize they started like six minutes early, so I turned it on at 10 and they immediately went to a commercial and I had never been more confused.

Oh I didn't mean being a dipshit like being a jerk, I meant like an inability to read the room

At least, based on the story

The image of Sami skanking to War Ensemble is pretty hilarious.

And to the people glorifying El Generico for his orphanage work, remember that he had a much more sinister reason for that:

In other words, he's always solid with flashes of greatness in spite of how he is used, but mostly you should be interested in him because he is gainfully employed.

I'm sure many WWE fans are happy to provide such information, as it's a lot more positive than looking at, say, his win/loss record.
