Because none of the things you mentioned are gimmicks, heel or face. How do you do a "my Sister is gay" gimmick? Or a "I attend pride marches" gimmick?
WyattSheepMask Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) I’m not meaning those things need to be his gimmick(s). They want to be seen as the progressive/tolerant company and they’ve got a guy who ticks those boxes as well as being someone with genuine elite level sports pedigree. So why the hell has he been saddled as being the bad guy in a tired, bullshit “if you don’t like ‘murica, you can get out” story Edited May 20, 2021 by WyattSheepMask
The King Of Swing Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Yeah he's clearly a good heel and looked a fucking beast this week but this Cody feud can get in the bin. Love how they had Cody do his big MURICA!!! promo on Dynamite and had Ogogo's actually here are some things that suck about America response buried on a YouTube show.
rollthedice Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Wouldn't be surprised if they do a boxing exhibition match so Cody can come out like Apollo Creed.

If we decided who was face and heel depending on who was progressive and tolerant in real life then the business would be 90% heels.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 20, 2021 Rewatched the Varsity Blondes vs Bucks match. Griff Garrison doesn't do anything fancy but everything he does looks really good. He's definitely one to keep an eye on, he could be something special in a few years.

Paid Members Supremo Posted May 20, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 20, 2021 Whoever is in the Joker position in the Casino Battle Royale is going to have a tough night ahead of them if they’re not called Andrade or Bryan Danielson, eh?
Merzbow Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I feel like they haven't built it up this time because of that, have they even mentioned it at all?

Unless WWE throw a boat load of money his way to lure him back between now and then, surely AEW are hopeful of getting Daniel Bryan for the debut of Rampage in August

Retro Red Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 If TNT made them pre-announce Big Show there’s no way AEW would be allowed to keep Daniel Bryan under wraps. If he did ever move it would be paraded in advance.

If he did ever move it would be paraded in advance. Tony Khan has said that the whole "they have to announce big signings and not do surprises like Sting any more" report wasn't true, just that TNT were really happy to be able to promote the Big Show signing the way they did. There's likely to be a combination of pre-announced and surprise signings in future anyway, as it should be. Though debuting on PPV would make that all a moot point anyway.
