Ah yes, who wouldn't get excited for a team of 4 mediocre midcard wrestlers & Nikki Cross? Who I don't think they've ever done anything with of any note.

You don't recall Nikki ASH where 'ASH' stands for 'Almost A Superhero' because she couldn't be an actual superhero?

Nikki was Alexa’s tag team partner and they worked shockingly well together and were a lot of fun as a unit.

Then Alexa went spooky and Nikki got the worst costume ever and that’s when I stopped caring.

This was such a great example of WWE's ability to run every single gimmick wrong. Normall they take a cool gimmick and give them so many losses that everyone stops caring. Here they took a lovable loser gimmick that needed a run of valiant losses to build crowd support and sent it straight into title contention to total apathy.

I’m still amazed that they moved forward with that pretending that the concept of “Almost a Superhero” was so universal, they could initialize it and make it her last name.

My mom got a huge amount of those from a storage unit a few years back, not knowing what they were. She looked into it, almost immediately sold them, and fuckin' made bank.

Turns out there's a really hardcore and dedicated Homies fanbase and they sell for a ton of money on the collector's market! Who could have guessed?

I'm mad about Colt Cabana

quote:

Happy Birthday to the guy who is next to meaningless in the wrestling industry, but somehow managed to change wrestling history multiple times.

-Managed to create massive legal action with WWE
-Managed to be a trigger point for Punk's rant at All Out
-Which eventually lead to Punk's fight with Perry at All In
-Was booked to win the NWA title, and then new ownership didn't like him, so they changed the finish, leading to Adam Pearce and multiple companies leaving Bruce Tharpe's version of NWA.
-Lead the way in making wrestling podcasts popular, before even Steve Austin, and all the Conrad Thompson shows.
-One of the most important wrestling promos of all time, he's name dropped in.

It is frankly bizarre how this guy has managed to be a huge part of wrestling history, despite having a career that would be authorize forgotten.

Like his podcast episode with CM Punk, is one of the most important podcast episodes in the history of the wrestling industry.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Colt makes a pretty nice living from Pro Wrestling Tees and his producer role in AEW, but the REAL money comes from the fact that he apparently lives rent free in the heads of thousands of weirdos.

Funny how "got CM Punk real mad at him" is given like six bullet points and "effectively taught a generation of wrestlers how to self-market/self-promote in multiple ways that pretty directly led to AEW" is given one "started a podcast even before Stone Cold, I guess?"
