April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885600 Still don't get the Iiconics. The spelling makes me mad. Laughing at their own jokes so much and doing c-movie level acting makes me mad. And they aren't very good in the ring.

I am so sick of seeing people praise them, as if the fact that they can't wrestle well and their promos suck are somehow part of their gimmick. Being bad at your job isn't a gimmick, it just means you're bad at your job. It really says something about the state of Pro Wrestling and WWE in particular when fans confuse heels being annoyingly bad as some sort of perverse "heat."
April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885604 Murphy bet on himself and is now on SDL. He deserves major respect for that. Makes you wonder what would've happened if Neville and Aries were a little more patient.

Their fan base is incredibly loyal (understandably) and don't like it when they are criticized at all

Most people seem to get it with Corbin, but I think Corbin is way better at what he does.
April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885608 I like The IIconics (well, not the dumb spelling), but I can understand why people wouldn't.

Nothing says that the brand split and shakeup means absolutely nothing more than having the announcers make a huge deal about Lars being exclusive to Raw last night - only to have him show up on Smackdown tonight. I think they're doing this shakeup based on a drunk monkey throwing darts at pictures of the roster. And then the monkey writes the show.

I have a soft spot for Brit and Aussie accents, and I think they're fun together. Their silly shtick makes me smile. Iconic Duo was a much better name though. Was there a rights issue with it?

I don't like Corbin at all, but his work and especially his promo delivery is miles ahead of the IIconics. Corbin is capable of talking, and one day might even be able to be carried to a watchable match. Those two? I think not.
April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885614 Criticizing the Iiconics seems to be akin to saying anything remotely negative about .Benoit/Guerrero/Malenko circa 97-99. Yeah that's probably hyperbole but not that far off

To be fair, I think Murphy actually wants this job. Neville apparently just didn't care, and Aries is well...Aries. I don't know how anybody expected him to last based on his history.

April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885622 If you die and go to hell, you wake up watching a match being called by Mauro Ranallo with Byron Saxton on color, as Nickelback plays in the background.

I don't know how anybody expected him to last based on his history. Good point. Aries and Low Ki are career malcontents and two people I would never, ever hire under any circumstances. I hope AEW doesn't waste everyone's time with either. I'm not sure what happened with Neville, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
April 17, 20196 yr comment_5885625 Vince isn't selling any anger over Kofi Kingston being his champion? Are we supposed to have forgotten that now?
