January 13, 20232 yr comment_5997666 I just found out that the Drew/Sheamus tag team is called Banger Bros. Which, ummm... At least they're in on the joke.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997673 Maybe this was already brought up but tag titles are no longer unified. Usos will defend them separately.

Seems like we are going back to the way things were after Wrestlemania. Big Series Finale feeling: Usos lose both belts, same goes for Roman. Bloodline is no more.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997675 Poor Rey, being saddled with Karrion "The Drizzling Shits" Kross for a feud. I realize it's just a placeholder until Mania, but...Zzzz!

January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997677 Liv doing the "what did the five fingers say to the face" to Raquel made me legit lol, but I still don't buy Raquel as any type of badass.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997678 Also I love how every wrestling promotion loves to hammer home how the biggest person in a battle royale has the advantage, despite that literally only ever being true for Andre.

I had Smackdown on in the background last night and actually stopped to watch this segment, and Holy Shit, you ain't kidding. I know everyone likes to shit on Bray and House of Black. But Kross is way worse. The entrance is cheesy, he is a terrible talker, he at least used to look the part with his head shaved but now just looks like another MMA guy with terrible tattoos, his work is the shits, and if we are being honest, she really isn't that hot, which seems to be the main reason the whole act was over in the first place.
January 14, 20232 yr Author comment_5997690 Kross is the worst out of the three dudes, but Bray was the only one to get a MAIN EVENT PUSH. Kross got big dogged by The Big Dog, thank God.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997692 Bringing back Kross in a context where you were gonna bring back Bray is utterly bizarre. Kross is Malt-O-Meal Wyatt but at least doesn’t have the stink of Bray’s various Wrestlecrap nonsense storylines on him, just have him be the spoopy guy and let Bray make movies.

That one year that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin said he was drinking extra beer to try to "lower his center of gravity for the Royal Rumble" was pretty gold though!
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997709 The upside to Kross and Bray is if I start TV late I can always count on fast forwarding through their segments to finish the show on time. No surprise that Gunther gave Braun his best match since the original Roman feud.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997710 I feel bad that LA Knight is saddled with Bray. Dude deserves better.
January 14, 20232 yr comment_5997711 I feel like Bray would be a lot better in a non-wrestling role, like The Sinister Minister was in ECW. His made for TV SyFy original spooky stuff would be a lot easier to swallow if you didn’t also get 20 minute Bray matches with them all.
January 15, 20232 yr Author comment_5997712 Bray Wyatt could be good in the same role as The Master. Speaking his spooky bullshit while more talented wrestlers take action.

What’s weird is I didn’t originally perceive Bray as a *bad* wrestler, he was pretty quick for his size. Is he *genuinely* bad, or is he just so committed to the gimmick that any idea of good wrestling long ago exited his calculation of how to behave?
January 16, 20232 yr comment_5997739 He's a decent wrestler and can have good matches with good opponents, but his matches since probably after WM30 have had a big focus on fuckery spooky shit or otherwise gimmicky bullshit. Once that took over and had to escalate, everything he's been involved with for many years has pretty much been the worst shit of the year every year since.
January 16, 20232 yr Author comment_5997740 His last great singles match happened in 2015 vs Roman at HiaC. After that, there was a decent tag stint with Orton, and a sneaky good tag run with Matt Hardy, of all people. You can't have spoopy bullshit take center stage all the fucking time because they do not translate well to the main event. Even Taker, who was a literal dead man early on, had to put his working boots every now and then.
January 16, 20232 yr comment_5997741 Bray isn't technically or athletically deficient, which is what people usually mean when they call someone a bad wrestler. I can't think of any instances where he blew spots or got blown up to a degree that it detracted from a match. It's just that his vision of wrestling is nearly impossible to translate to compelling matches. I don't know how you can get invested in a contest where one of the participants is basically a walking deus ex machina.
January 16, 20232 yr comment_5997742 The first real bad Wyatt shit I recall was the cage match with Cena that had the kid in the spotlight singing or whatever bullshit
January 16, 20232 yr Author comment_5997743 There was that Orton WM match where they projected worms and maggots onto the mat. It fucking suuuuuuucked and then he just lost clean.
January 16, 20232 yr comment_5997745 The only thing I want to see Bray Wyatt doing is being a never say die, cowboy boot wearing, bulldog finishing, old style southern white meat babyface. I reckon he’d be great at that. But instead there’s all this fucking lore and supernatural faeces. I’d rather fuck my mates grandmother.

Yeah, in the beginning when Taker was a zombie who felt no pain (ie: never sold much), he wasn't much after the entrance. Just like Bray is now. I hope that now that at least the Fiend shit is over for now, he can actually have matches that don't make the other person look like shit.
January 16, 20232 yr comment_5997751 what even was this week's awful bray promo. Did he just come out and now all of a sudden say that he IS "uncle howdy" and leave it at that. Wild that his stuff has gotten worse as the years go on.

Bray and Bo Dallas actually started out in FCW as a pretty boy tag team where Bo would take the punishment and Bray would come in off the hot tag. As is so often the case in wrestling, though, your mileage may vary on the pretty boy part.
