Like he isn't terrible but they haven't really done anything with him. But then that's how they made me feel about Keith Lee too when he first joined. Sometimes it's very much about waiting for the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 18, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 18, 2020 Bronson Reed is such a generic developmental name I genuinely thought it was somebody that had been there for years. He has a good look to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandan Vink is one of the biggest, arrogant, smuggest cockheads in the world. He swaggers to the rings, did his pose, and proclaim about how because he was 6 foot 4 he was practically guaranteed a WWE contract one day. He was a phenomenal heel. In WWE, he just *walks* to the ring and is a generic heel. It's heartbreaker. If you want to see just HOW good he is, I suggest you check out his series "Trophy Life". And Bronson Reed! FUCK! That guy is money. As "The King of Monster" Jonah Rock, one of the best, and most terrifying monster heels I have ever had the privilege of working with, and he is a fairly inoffensive babyface.  Ironically a lovely bloke too. The exception of Rhea Ripley. They took a young and incredibly talented young person and turned her into one of the best badasses in the world. Kudos for that. . That video is absolutely fucking class!

Winston Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 So frustrating watching that video. When I saw Vink on Raw I just thought bland/generic but he's bursting with personality here. No idea why they don't just let people be themselves anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I know it's a bit of a slog, but I recommend watching the whole series. It's fucking criminal what's happened to him. He started it when his then partner Dekota Kei started with NXT and it's all about him struggling to accept his role as the boyfriend of a NXT star. Fun story, I was watching the Mania with friends, including Vink, where Braun Strowman picked a small child as a tag partner, and you could see him also crack the glass he was holding over the fact he chose a child and he still couldn't get a look in. Im going to see if I can find some videos of Reed and Sexton both doing what they do best. Such amazing talent and I really hope they become so much more. Edited July 18, 2020 by andrew "the ref" coyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyGraham Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Pro Evo Dakota Kai would still be Dakota Kai, but she'd wrestle for Stamford Black and Yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Saturday Night's Main Event style intro was one of the best things they've done on an empty arena show. They should keep that for Smackdown.

FUM Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Felt the intro was fantastic, gave the show a big time feel from the outset while feeling a bit old school. They should definitely keep that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why WWE insists on stripping everything away from every character and personality until they can be summed up in one word constantly baffles me. Riddle is the 'bro' guy now and forever, there will never be any more depth or sides to his personality than that for the rest of his career. Sorry to be the pedant here but... the WWE did repackage their version of the Midnight Express and had one of them given 'bodacious' as a name. So in fairness, 5 years removed from said time. Which considering this time they are 27 years too late, the 1998 utterance was well and truly finger on the pulse of pop culture references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CavemanLynn Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don't you play with me now, WWE. Seriously, if they fuck up Big E, there's no hope. A legitimate smiley babyface who's not a soppy get, merch upon merch upon merch, plus Vince gets a dancing black man. No heel turns. No breakups. Just a straight line to that title. Gimme something for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
