the same thing happened with cody when he was first in the WWE saddled with a stupid gimmick and forced to work comedy matches but once he left to found AEW and then came back he became their most popular babyface because when he's not allowed to book himself he's an entertaining wrestler that checks all the marks for the company baby face

Seth Pecksniff posted:So wait his Titantron is just his name, him twisting back and forth and Ric Flair looking on like a disappointed dad? What???? The idea with Titantrons is that they'll show off rapid fire cuts of what the performer has done, intermixed with their name. If the wrestler hasn't actually done ANYTHING, the Titantron will be very bare bones, the idea being that it needs to be filled up as rapidly as possible. If you look at Mike Awesome's WCW match debut's 'Nitrotron', all the clips on it are just him walking to the ring, because that's all he'd actually done on screen in the company. Since Mike actually wrestled matches, that Titantron quickly became much more like a traditional one. Since David Flair ended up doing absolutely nothing, that ultra bare bones Titantron is all we got, living on in humor years later. He's not alone. There was also Gregory Helms' Titantron... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJB_BDG1d8s He'd just turned heel, abandoned his Hurricane gimmick, and then he suffered a neck injury that kept him out of action for a year, so Take 1 on his Titantron was just this. And then there was Joseph "Animal of the Road Warriors/Legion of Doom' Laurinaitis, who after the terrible idea of reforming the Warriors-Legion with Heidenreich collapsed in two weeks or so because Heidenreich had a crisis and quit the company out of nowhere, decided he was just going to be a heel called "The Road Warrior"...and I think he was around for like another two weeks before he vanished off TV forever, so this was his Titantron. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CYKtxPB5vI

some of the banned words make sense because they are "insider" words like face and heel and the show should try to at least pretend there is kayfabe but some of them are because vince hates wrasslin' terms like strap and others are because he is completely insane

The key to understanding Vince is that while Trump is a howling void and devoid of any ideals whatsoever, Vince is not. Vince is, whether or not he realizes it, a genuine fascist. I don't mean he's an authoritarian conservative - although he obviously is in his own way - I mean he's a full blown fascist. He exalts, fetishizes, and worships power as an ends rather than a means. Once you understand this, literally all his weird hang-ups and issues make perfect sense. Of course he finds giraffes offensive; they have power but don't exercise it. Of course sneezing and yawning is bad, it's a loss of control, the surrender of power to his autonomous bodily processes, so on and so forth. Vince is one of the most ideologically pure and consistent fascists to ever live, honestly.
