The Cutting Edge Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 On the subject of Hangman Page, surely his latest t-shirt that just reads "Anxious Millennial Cowboy" in plain white font has to be contender for worst wrestling t-shirt ever? I know that covers a lot of ground and PWT/AEW bring out new merchandise daily and it's probably already in the past but such a weird slogan or statement.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 If they took off the AEW logo off the front I reckon it would sell pretty good with non wrestling fans who are hipster types.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 yeah, I saw that and immediately thought of someone who would wear it and isn't a wrestling fan at all.
The Cutting Edge Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Has Page ever been called that as a nickname? Awful if he has. I'm all for Making this current and on trend but this is a bit too on point. Maybe if it was a better design with a whiskey bottle and cowboy hat would be more fitting the character Edited September 16, 2020 by The Cutting Edge Added shit
Paid Members Chris B Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 It's already the second-biggest selling t-shirt for the week and the fourth for the month, so it's not that much of a disaster. Page hasn't been directly called that as a nickname. He has an ongoing thing where he writes his own entrance description, which have been odd and generally funny. "Seeing how white wrist tape works for him" one week, and "Didn't like the white wrist tape" the following. The one that really stuck with people was "Anxious millennial cowboy', which has become the way a lot of fans describe him as a result. It's all quite organic.
Paid Members Nick James Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 Just watching BTE from around Episode 213, not watched it before, but I must admit, Colt Cabana is one of the most likeable oafs in recent times. Who would have thought Colt would be one of the better things in wrestling in 2020. Matt Hardy is infinitely better on BTE than on TV shows, even shows like Raw / Impact, his stuff is more befitting of a sketch show. Money Matt is my favourite.
DavidB6937 Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I've got no problem with that nickname for Hangman as long as I don't have to hear Justin Roberts say it every week. The Anxiousssssss Millennnnnnniallll COWWWWboy. FUCK OFF JUSTIN.
cobra_gordo Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I'd be happy if the only sound coming out of Justin Roberts mouth at the beginning of each episode is a faint mumble as somebody holds a chloroform soaked rag over his gob and replaces him with any other announcer. I'd take Michael "I talk over every fucker's entrance giving stupid facts for no reason and now you can't hear their music" Buffer over Justin Roberts.
Merzbow Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 They have Dasha Gonzalez, how do they use a fiddler over her?
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 Roberts has always been hugely divisive. I don't mind him. He's got a good, memorable voice and by and large just does the job. Whether he's a nonce is another matter but certainly never got the hatred for him from some quarters just for his announcing.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 I despise him because I think his voice is terrible sounding and weak. He elicits no excitement when introducing a wrestler or a match from the crowd/viewers. He offers no gravitas to anything. He looks like a twat and I want to punch his smug twat face every time I see it. His voice reminds me of shit episodes of Smackdown. The only thing he will be remembered for is the stupid, annoying way he pronounces the name John.
Paid Members Nick James Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 He's now gone from announcing Shaun Cena to announcing Shaun Moxley. They should have tied down Tony Chimel if they wanted a B grade WWE ring announcer.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 16, 2020 Imagine Mauro Ranallo and nonce-face Roberts on the same broadcast? Fucking hell, no.

Don't give them ideas. Although I do wonder if Mauro's hyperactive nature would balance out JR's weekly Eeyore impression on commentary.
WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I’d be fine with AEW giving JR a lifetime contract if it meant that it kept Ranallo away. The desk ain’t big enough for the two of them and I can’t see JR budging
