Adam Cole's AEW career 1) Start out hot. 2) Get overexposed because Tony is a complete homer for him, crowd turns against him. 3) Get catastrophically injured. Crazy this happened twice.

Shard posted:Did the crowd turn against Adam? I don't actually remember him getting anything other than good reactions We turned against him. We are the crowd. The people in the audience are noise makers.* *Not really but this is where I take the pulse. Do we really diverge that strongly from the rest of the fandom? Maybe it's the difference between 'we want a better WWE' and 'We want to wash the WWE stink out of our bodies'. Because BTYBB was absolutely the former, even the ugh ambulance angle. MJF is God's perfect sports entertainer and Adam Cole isn't too far behind him. ChrisBTY fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Apr 10, 2024 |

In a vacuum, it was just a lovely match between two dorks. Given all of the context of its push and its positioning and the show it was on and the promotion it happened in, I am comfortable saying it is one of the worst matches of all time. It is 100% without a doubt the worst match I've ever seen.

I’ve been to amateur improv troupe shows that gave me the exact same feeling as that match.

ChrisBTY posted:We turned against him. I honestly think we do diverge. We are an aging forum with a lot of older folks. And I can think of like a dozen times that the threads were not digging something, and the crowd clearly was. The Acclaimed for a long time was way over with the crowd and not here. I feel like that is just starting to shift. The Brochachos were def over with the crowd and we hated that poo poo.

the Jericho match with Adam Cole was extremely dire. At his peak in the company, when he was just constantly on TV doing poo poo and taking up a lot of the Hangman reign, I was dreading them possibly putting the belt on him since his ringwork had deteriorated a lot and his overall persona I just never bought into, even back in NXT when he had endless cinematic fights with Johnny Gargano. pretty glad there's zero chance it'll happen now.

i bought a superkliq t-shirt because the taunt where the bucks kissed him on the cheek while he did the babay made me mark out. Now I am partially blame for the death of aew. also i know we're not arguing about the video any more but it's an incredibly embarassing move from TK. Unless the footage is CM punk making GBS threads his own pants it's just going to make CM punk seem even cooler to 99% of wrestling fans, and if it is him making GBS threads his own pants the percentage only goes down to 90

This was one of my biggest complaints about Cole. Every one of his segments was SO LONG because he had to do his entire entrance and BOOM every. single. time.

There are an endless number of WWE matches from 2011-present that could qualify as the worst match I've ever seen.

My favourite thing about Adam Cole is this story from Chuck Taylor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK_81F6x4ds he seems like a good dude but he can't drink water right, how is he supposed to get over

I'm watching Dynamite for the first time in a long time for this stupid video and this match is just a snooze to me. This doesn't feel like putting your best foot forward when you're going to pop a rating. First a run in to halt the first match and then immediately just running into the next one without a break or much of an explanation just seems weird.

Eh I think it fit the bucks character and the FTR promo built towards the match so it was an okay segment even if again the Punk video is only real interesting to people plugged into backstage drama

So it was two pushes and then Punk put Perry in a headlock and then let him go when everyone intervened. So it basically played out as Punk said it did on Helwanis show.
