Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2019 Win/Loss records in pro wrestling are so stupid. Sammy Guevara "The Best Ever" win loss record 0-3. I hated seeing Orange Cassidy dressed up like a twat, he's too cool for that.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Such a shame Sammy isn't a smug, overconfident heel making the "best ever" tag more obnoxi..........oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted November 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2019 When you're an up and coming wrestler having a thing appear on screen saying you've lost every match you've had looks pretty shit, I'm not saying it contradicts him being the literal best ever like I'm supposed to take that at face value but he's doing everything right to show potential and it wouldn't have occurred to me that he's lost every match he's had unless they put it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally makes no difference whatsoever if he never wins match in his entire career as long as he acts like god's gift after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 If anything a loser with a spotty record is the best choice to act like god's gift. And it's not like he's never going to win a match. Just like uncool, drunk uncle Jericho thinking he's cool makes his routine all the better.

King Pitcos Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I quite enjoyed the show. Jericho is such a strange case. He looks like an absolute embarrassment as a choice for world champion - he looks old, he looks fat, he looks half-pissed, he's always got a stupid outfit. And yet he's by far the best thing on the show, and elevates everything he's part of. I didn't get the game reference Kenny Omega was making, and it seemed like it was trying to do a lot of the storytelling for where his character is. I absolutely agree with whoever it was earlier in the thread who said that that stuff would be fine if it was further down the road, and if the rest of the show was on board with the story. But as it is, he's done nothing to establish himself yet, and to people who didn't follow him closely before AEW, he just looks shit. I could've done without the in-ring Moxley promo, or without the backstage Moxley-Khan discussion that used the same dialogue. I kinda like the angle of Moxley being upset that the win won't count. Taking issue with them booking matches that don't count is interesting, but like the Depressed Loser Kenny stuff, it seems early to be going there yet. Full Gear will be their what, tenth show maybe? And that's at least their third or fourth "unsanctioned" match already, and we've already got a wrestler with a conspiracy theory about the bookers using loopholes to make wins and losses not matter. As we've already got Pac's complaints about the win/loss records not tying in to title opportunities, it seems like all this should be headed for an authority figure storyline, and that's not ideal.

DavidB6937 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Yeah the Kenny entrance thing was odd. Clearly he's just doing stuff to entertain himself which really shouldn't be the aim at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT SAID, he should be trying to appeal to a mainstream audience. Not video game enthusiasts. I had no idea what that video game was he was referencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Kenny’s thing was fine. I felt out of the loop, but in a way that made me think Kenny Omega has his finger on the pulse of pop culture to a greater extent than me. Which lines up fine with his Gay Weeaboo gimmick.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 3, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2019 People give AEW shit, but look at ROH's roster. This might be the most unappealing set of wrestlers to form a roster ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Love how they posted that picture saying they’re family after emails leaked of them rejecting paying their women’s champion £20,000 a year and giving the  excuse that they’d have to pay the other women more too. Edited November 3, 2019 by TildeGuy~!

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted November 4, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2019 I don’t think I could name half the people in that photo. I could probably name more of the people who are missing. Unless the likes of Marty, Brody King, PCO and Shane Taylor have fucked off. Genuinely thought the bearded guy next to Bully Ray was Mike Knox.      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine who I am fairly certain has never watched pro wrestling in their life linked the video of the entrance and cosplay on Facebook. She can definitely be called a gay weeabo, so he is definitely hitting that demographic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
