I don’t think Eddie would be world champ if he was in better shape. It still wouldn’t fit his character journey in AEW. I don’t want to see jacked Eddie Kingston coming out like Brian Cage or something but it’d be kind of fun seeing Eddie in the style of Dr Death or something. Like still an obviously huge guy but not with the chiseled body of a Cage or PAC.

I like to call that ugly muscle. It's great. Like Tom Hardy in Dark Knight Rises

If Eddie Kingston wants to be taken seriously he needs to gain the body type equivalent to Into The Spiderverse's Kingpin.

the perfect wrestler body type is that stan hansen/harley race thing where have a huge barrel chest and arent really fat but have absolutely no defintion at all. just totally flat from your chest to your waist

Eddie should always be eating authentic New Yawk food as part of his entrance. Walking down the ramp tearing away at a big slice of Ray's pizza. Street cart hot dog. Two-fisting a bodega chop cheese and a bacon egg and cheese. Full-size pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli with a bowl of matzoh ball soup.

There should be New York street carts lining the ramp as Eddie makes his way to the ring and he takes time to stop at each.

He was pretty intensely anti-AEW for the moment he realized they weren't gonna give him a permanent job and then ramped it up even further when he/Conrad noticed his podcast got spikes in engagement every time he said negative stuff about AEW. I'm pretty sure they've outright admitted this was the case.

Every time Eddie comes to the ring he pulls out a bagel and talks about how much better New York ones are due to the water, to massive heel heat.

every time someone leaves WWE and starts doing the kind of wrestling they want (like Mone wanted to really work Joshi or Copeland wanted to work with younger guys) the usual suspects crawl out from the basement to say how they're a waste. Like yeah, they've been stuck doing what Vince wanted them to do for a decade+ and now they're doing exactly what they want why is that a problem

surprised that nobody has ever done a wrestling show where every match is main eventer vs main eventer, and none of said main eventers ever lose because that would make them look weak. we can all agree that it's the best way to book wrestling and really easy to do, feels like an oversight that people do this other stuff

You're thinking too small, you just book a show where the card is like

LA Knight d. AJ Styles after Randy Orton interferes
Cody Rhodes d. Randy Orton after Jey Uso interferes
Kevin Owens d. Logan Paul after Cody Rhodes distracts Logan Paul
Damian Priest d. Finn Balor after Logan Paul accidentally hits Finn
Seth Rollins d. Dean Ambrose after Roman Reigns interferes
Roman Reigns d. Kenny Omega clean but both men get attacked by CM Punk afterwards

and then the next big show you have
AJ Styles and Randy Orton d. LA Knight and Cody Rhodes after Roman Reigns beats them all up
Logan Paul d. Kevin Owens after Jey Uso distracts KO
Finn Balor d. Damian Priest after Dean Ambrose deliberately hits Priest
CM Punk beats Roman Reigns by DQ after Brock Lesnar attacks
etc.

That way long term everyone stays strong, and you don't waste time with jobbers.

This was how most matches between top talent ended in the 70s and 80s. Either double count out, double dq, or time limit draw.

Being a pro wrestling grifter like Ryan Satin must be exhausting. He tried the pro-AEW takes for a bit but it didn't work, now he's back to anti-AEW stuff to try and shift the metrics and get more views.

In 3 months he'll be back on the AEW hype train when analytics tell him that's what he should be saying.

I deleted twitter a while ago but my proudest moment was asking Ryan Satin what he thought about Joe Arpaio and it bothering him so much that he replied to me (an absolute nobody) 4 times over the course of a day with varying levels of frustration and aggression.

some additional context on why it is funny is that he used to get really high and mighty back when AEW was doing good ratings and beating NXT and he would say that people didn’t understand how outdated Nielsen was, and that it was impossible to know if AEW was actually winning because of how unreliable Nielsen is.

he kept saying he had a much better understanding because unlike random internet fans he had actually worked in tv, so people dug into what his tv experience was and it was his daddy giving him a job on the sheriff joe arpaio show lol

i love how many layers of bullshit there are to this, like saying it's fine for journalists to be fans first and media second and calling himself a wrestling journalist when he is a guy with a podcast, but saying that hausman is a "REAL" journalist is what takes this from defensiveness to outright delusion
