Paid Members Nick James Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 Pat McAfee is everything that Gronkowski wishes he was. He seems so natural. Also, Gargano was very lucky not to be seriously injured after landing on his neck.
The Cutting Edge Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 McAfee promo really good, put himself and Cole over, I know that shouldn't be unusual but could've been "I'm a real sport star and you're a fake midget wrestler" Is Dream a heel? Odd that the crowd were booing him but hasn't turned heel (other than in real life), he should evolve his character to be more of a Dennis Rodman type instead which I think he kinda has. Ridge is solid and a good prospect Great video package for Kross vs Lee Weird that despite both being healthy that Balor and Ciampa don't have a match at 30th takeover, good they're pushing new faces but still.

Liam O'Rourke Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 You don't write a guy off for one mistake by any means, but what the fuck was Ridge thinking on that powerslam? He left his own feet before rotating Johnny, that's just plain silly.
BrodyGraham Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Was that even supposed to be a powerslam? My first thought was he'd try to do a Spanish Fly and then I thought it was supposed to be an exploder. If it was a powerslam that'd be the second time a green lunk in NXT nearly crippled someone with it. Riddick Moss half murdered Kenta with one a few years ago. It was fucking awful whatever it was.
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 Pat McAfee continues to completely expose them. You’re far more effective if you come in as a fan and just act the dickhead emulating promos you grew up with than you are spending literally years in the developmental system getting the weird dialect and cadence drilled into you. What a sorry state of affairs that Pat chucking the microphone felt so revolutionary! I don’t know how the match will deliver but Cole vs. McAfee is my most anticipated match of the weekend by miles.
CavemanLynn Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 He also hasn't spent years being told he has to talk a certain way or else he'll lose his job. Plus he's a real sports guy, so the agents are probably giddy over him and letting him do what he likes while treating their actual wrestling employees with contempt for 'only' being wrestlers. The PC produces Terry Taylors.
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 Yep. Further evidence that they need to be scouting for more sports guys who don’t give a fuck about wrestling and less of these life-long fans. I’d imagine most of that roster would refuse to throw a microphone out of respect for da biz.

He did some kind of wrestling match/angle all the way back in 2009 according to his Wiki. I like the idea of bringing in outside guys who have made their money and don't need WWE, but are doing it for the fun of it because they like wrestling. Stephen Amell and Ronda Rousey are two celebs/athletes that took to it like a duck to water, and I feel like McAfee is in that mold too.

Paid Members JNLister Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 I bet William Regal's old British wrestling pals won't be impressed with him letting a punter in the ring.
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2020 I thought Cole did really well last night. I get that people joke about his size but I think his mannerisms and then taking out the security did add something to it. It's almost like he was going "you might be a big guy but I've been fighting for years, don't underestimate me" especially as the security was bigger than him too and he didn't use the UE to help. It's gonna be interesting to watch for sure. Just not sure if I'll watch this live or AEW, may just have to sleep all day Saturday and plow through one then the other.
