You can make an argument that Bandido fell into the category of guy who was brought in and out on amazing matched but ends up losing but he's not nearly as big in Lucha as Mistico and also it felt like he was gonna get the loses for the first while in amazing matches than gets a push like Takeshita did before he got hurt

Bandido also does the best babyface character work of anyone in wrestling.

The NWA title is such an ugly belt and looks really small and cheap and EC3 is going to make it even worse with some guys who no doubt have really problematic ties to his personal ideology.

Except that's not how they are billing Mistico at all so I have no idea what this complaint is about.

More to do with all the Luchadors who came before with the exception of The Lucha Brothers.

I don't think they're similar at all, pretty much every luchador who comes to AEW wrestles completely differently from everyone else.

I assume this is one of those guys that thinks every single Luchador wrestlers like a PWG show cause that's their only conception of literally any wrestling that isn't WWE

It reminds me of Bobby Heenan's biography, where he commented on WCW's luchadors with something like "They all had the same body and the same moves, WCW could have saved money by hiring one guy and having him wear all the different masks."

I mean, they just had Tyrus as champ, and he was regularly on Fox News. I'm pretty sure being perceived as right-wing idiots doesn't matter at this point.

Not going to post them but every time I've seen Swerve hype up his new music video, someone comments with some variation of "I'm not going to watch it". Oh good, because we were all wondering.

They're invariably always WWE stans, reply/repost guys with no actual content, have no engagement in their replies, and repost poo poo like support for Putin.

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.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
My one dislike of lucha mask history is the longetivity of certain over masked wrestlers keeping their masks for so long hiding their beauty behind it. Rey Wagner is like a guy who was already a hall of fame legend and then he unmasked and it was like "wtf how did this guy stay masked so long" and he has an entirely new hall of fame career as the hottest dad in wrestling who books mask v hair matches when he needs a trim.

They have to do that, no one would be excited for an unmasking if they already knew the luchador is an uggo.

Given how little Wagner means right now vs 6 years ago I am sure he doesn't agree and is very glad he milked a legendary mask for everything it was worth.

Edit: Actually I know he disagrees because he wants to remask.
