March 14, 20232 yr comment_6000819 Also, make the whole show tonight out of Roxanne and Meiko, damn it
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000822 Dabba-Kato was born too late, he would have been a great villain-of-the-month for Hulkamaina in the 80s.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000823 Also am I crazy to think Dabba-Kato might actually have something? He's big of course, but he does have a decent amount of mean guy charisma, and he's not that bad for someone at his level and that size.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000824 Gigi looks like someone who would be fun, in all possible contexts you could think of.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000826 NXT gonna fuck around and have the best show of Wrestlemania Saturday.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000827 I hope Trick getting called to do tryout matches on the main roster means Melo is getting the WM callup.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000828 I just want Melo and Santos try to out-"cool motherfucker" each other on the main roster, is that too much to ask for?

Sorry about your damn luck, Bobbo. Then again, maybe he made a deal with the Devil that has allowed him to look exactly the same for the past two decades and now the bill is coming due. Two things have been in my head with all this. First, is I can't see Bobby losing at Mania to Wyatt and all his horseshit. Maybe it's cause he's Denver's own, but it's also because he's been booked so dominant for a couple of years. They just had Brock nut shot him to get DQ'd cause he was going to tap out to the Hurt Lock. I don't think they're just waving that away. Second, Did I miss something? Like seriously does Bray have that much creative control? Someone at a higher pay grade is signing off on this or " hampering his creative vision" by writing it with him. Ah, I could go on and on. I know the Wyatt thing is to create a new Taker type character, and that's why I smell Pritchard in all this.

On one hand I can see why they'd give him a little bit of rope since apparently he's a big merch seller, but I think deep down everyone has to know that not only does everything screech to a halt when a match starts but it also definitively hurts anyone put in a program with. Also now having read your post I'm absolutely shocked we've never had Brother Love end up a character in the Wyattverse.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000834 I forgot to mention, Pritchard smells like an expired ham thats been exposed to a constant stream of Svengoolie reruns. ( Apologies to Svengoolie, he's the best.)
March 15, 20232 yr Author comment_6000839 Is he even that big of a merch seller lately? Are they gonna try to sell Uncle Kraker Howdy merch to kids?

March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000847 Bray would be fine if he inhabited a self-contained universe and feuded exclusively with cornballs like LA Knight and Karrion Kross. Like Jimmy Valiant vs. Paul Jones' Army, but with Lore. Under no circumstances should he ever he pitted against guys billed as no-nonsense serious fighters. Either they look like goofs selling for the puppets and Uncle Howdy or they no-sell it and kill his supernatural aura.
March 15, 20232 yr Author comment_6000852 Sol Ruca has become one of the standouts. The Women's Roster taking shape there is actually very damn good, and we all know they need it.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000853 LA Knight ain’t no goofball, it’s a crying shame that he’s been set up so thoroughly for failure with as much talent as he has. Don’t really understand how anybody is a Ricky Starks fan but thinks LA Knight sucks; extremely similar performers imo!

And the thing is, I think WWE has plenty of guys at a level where they're not seriously going to be pushed as top guys and can be used in a Wyatt feud without really burning anything. Like, let Baron Corbin be his foil for two months. There's obviously some business value to Wyatt's stuff, you just need to keep it from burning your other assets.

Don’t really understand how anybody is a Ricky Starks fan but thinks LA Knight sucks; extremely similar performers imo! I agree. Both are extremely comfortable on the mic and draw from the same sources. LA Knight is more of a body guy, Ricky is younger and wrestles like the newer generation, but both are great assets to any roster and can easily sell you on any program. On the other hand, I'd argue that Knight is one of the few people to walk away from a Bray Wyatt feud unscathed. His catchphrases are over and he was inserted into the IC title picture without much issue.
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000862 I would argue that usually, anyone with strong mic skills can recover from less than flattering angles. Seems like Knight is a good example of that
March 15, 20232 yr comment_6000865 I'll admit that Knight largely won me over with his commitment to getting the Mountain Dew match gimmick over. My broader point is that his character has elements of absurdity and theatricality that lend themselves to a feud with Bray and that guys like Lesnar and Lashley lack.
March 16, 20232 yr comment_6000896 I always liked L.A. Knight. Every criticism comes down to he is does things that are popular and over with the crowd in PROFRESSIONAL Wrestling. What a crime? What has always sank him when in orbit of WWE is having a star mentality - pushy, forceful etc. Instead of doing the Bruce Prichard to Vince "what if we do this instead" routine. Knight apparently got a huge babyface reaction at MSG last weekend. Things have changed in WWE. But the Garden is still the Garden. The true challenge for Knight for is cutting THAT promo that truly connects with the fanbase. That escapes he's just doing a Austin/Rock impression criticism.
March 18, 20232 yr comment_6000933 I've been the biggest "Fuck Off Dominik" person here. I may have been wrong... Also, fuck KO. Just give Sami his fucking hug. Owens has absolutely no moral high ground here and is just being petulant.
March 18, 20232 yr comment_6000934 "The Ship of Theseus Charlotte is a thought experiment about whether an object which has had all of its original components replaced remains the same object."
March 18, 20232 yr comment_6000936 A German Meaty Man, a Scottish Meaty Man and an Irish Meaty Man walk into a WrestleMania. The bartender says, "Sorry, I can't serve you unless you're bleeding from the nipples." So the three Meaty Men start Slapping Meat.
