Lamuella posted:When is Cassidy being a very popular singles champ who has fun matches going to pay off? I've said it before but it's genuinely shocking in hindsight how little Leslie seems to understand professional wrestling, which is doubly sad since he once moved to Japan to follow it.

Note the past tense there, said following does not care about his crank wrestling opinions. He rarely touched on wrestling and when he did the takes were quite sane. Then brawl out happened and his brain broke and everything aew does is incorrect by default.

Didn't even include my favouritesquote:He's the voice of the WWE to way more people compared to those that grew up with JR. quote:No questions about it. You can make an argument for him being just as good if not better than JR when he was not micromanaged by a geriatric fool yelling at him. quote:It's the most unpopular unpopular opinion I've ever read here lol.

I first encountered him on the Shimmer forum where he was one of the gatekeeper joshi types who turned up when Prazak started bringing in folks like Ayumi Kurihara. Leslie never really impressed when it came to wrestling but I would have imagined then he would have gotten OC because he certainly bought into some of the goofier gimmicks in Shimmer.

"Booker T might get in to the HoF based solely on his commentary" might be the worst wrestling opinion ever. I'd call him the drizzling shits, but diarrhoea doesn't deserve that.

Leslie could present as reasonably intelligent at one point, but parking himself on Twitter all day every day for years turned him into a loving idiot. Of all the posters featured in here, he's the most infuriating to me.

The Act Yasukawa article was really something special, but every time I see one of his tweets about wrestling in any other context I'm just baffled at how one guy can know so little. Leslie is a land of contrasts.

TK and his family have more money than WWE and TKO have. This is something anyone can Google and TK even said it in a press conference Not that I would expect any of these clip watchers to know that, and even if they did they'd intentionally ignore it to try to own someone or post bait

Right?!

By all reports WWE is thinking the prestige of working for them would get Okada to sign more than matching or beating AEW money offer so yeah they're being cheapskates. Also the prestige for working for the rape/harassment company

Yeah, how have they treated Jay White: Gave him two solid debuts Gave him his own Bullet Club faction Gave him a spot on the card at Wembley Gave him a storyline for the AEW title where he came out on top over and over against MJF until the PPV main event Gave him a strong showing in the C2 getting to the semi-finals along with the ace of the company and the hottest rising star they have right now Gave him and the Gunns the ROH 6 man titles, aligned them with The Acclaimed, and will inevitably be in a feud with the new main heel stable In addition to this, he's also got probably the most protected finisher in the company (I can't remember if MJF kicked out of it cleanly, but I know no-one else has), and also managed to get a cardboard cutout of himself over as well. Not bad for less than a year in the company. That said, just think of how much he could have gotten done with a year in NXT.
