Vamp Posted March 22, 2024 Posted March 22, 2024 You wait till he turns heel and cuts promo saying he always was the American Nightmare. It's just one of those examples where a wrestler gets a cool nickname and the cool gimmick that could have been attached to it evaporates. Like how we could have had a wrestling architect but now we can't because it's associated with Seth Rollins. Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2024 The other thing to take into account is that, with enough time and TV exposure, a wrestler can have an advanced, nuanced gimmick that works purely because the crowd have progressed with him over the years. Nobody could have said what Triple H was in 2000, without the previous journey the crowd had been with him on leading up to that. Same with The Rock and Stone Cold. Quote

This is a good example. Never mind “The American Nightmare,” without his backstory nobody would know what “Triple H” means. It’s funny to think how for many years everyone knows he’s not really an aristocrat but they call him Hunter and “HHH” as though that’s still his characters name. And as decent as “Cerebral Assassin” is and how “King of Kings” is fairly self explanatory, I thought “The Game” always sounded crap and was born out of a crap sound byte from a forgotten interview when he was still finding his feet.

Just writing "it's wrestling" is completely meaningless. It's not. It's wrestling. Going 'Nothing about Cody is Nightmare-ish, why is he called the American Nightmare?' is the ultimate 'Mate, it's wrestling' scenario. It's not that important. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted March 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2024 To link the two topics, I think the vodka ad might have answered some questions as to why he's called the American Nightmare. Quote

Because "it's wrestling" that we shouldn't read even the slightest meaning into anything? What a shallow and boring way to view it all. No. It was flippant comment about one specific scenario, not all of wrestling. Even if it was about all of wrestling, surely micro analysing everything as opposed to just watching it, enjoying at and not overthinking it is the more shallow and boring of those two scenarios? Maybe I've been watching it all wrong these past 30 years plus, I dunno. Quote

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2024 Saw this floating about online. Can’t think of a better way to end Wrestlemania. Dustin runs in to even the odds, taking out the Bloodline. Cody drinks his vodka, which makes his arm go massive like Popeye. Cody punches Roman’s head off with his own version of the Smackdown Fist, wins the belt and everyone lives happily ever after. Quote

Got to be honest with you here mate, looks like he's being consoled there ? Edit: Don't count your rubber chickens before they hatch. Edited March 23, 2024 by SuperBacon Apparently it's "before they hatch" and not "all at once" huh. Hi Chest Quote
