Infinity Land Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Recovering from surgery is a bit different than recovering from long COVID as well as months out of the ring. This might be who he is physically now. The only way he's going to be able to adapt is through reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Reps are better done behind closed doors than huffing and puffing about a ring at near midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 He didn't seem in great nick in nxt/wwe. He doesn't have Joe/Vader level big lad charisma/badassery about him to carry it off either. Just looks like an out of shape Dave Otunga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he be listening to the crowd when he’s breathing out his arse? He must be concentrating like fuck on just surviving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be concentrating like fuck on just surviving Well, a few ways I reckon. Firstly, he's been doing this for a while so it probably takes less mental energy than you'd think. Secondly, he can probably get feedback from guys in the back, his opponents, etc. Thirdly, he can probably watch the show back afterward and reflect then. Fourthly, he's married to a pro wrestler so she could watch the show and feed back week on week to help. But I've heard lots of vets say that you need a crowd reacting to get a good sense of what's working.  Edited March 22, 2022 by Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Glad to see it isn't only me who isn't seeing it with Keith Lee so far. I think he's one of those guys a bit like Ty Dillinger/Shawn Spears was where when they don't get the big push in WWE its popular to blame WWE and as they have dropped the ball with a number of guys previously that's fair game. Sometimes however maybe they're rightfully not pushed. Lee looks like a horribly out of shape, old man and he's only 37. He looks 10 years older. I appreciate what people have said about him having Covid and the possible impact that may have had but generally weight loss and loss of appetite is a very common symptom, as it was with me. I really haven't seen anywhere about significant weight gain. Lee looks like he has been piling the beef on and as others have said he is blowing out of his arse just walking to the ring. He doesn't impress me in any aspect I'm afraid as he has all the charisma of an empty packet of crisps. Him doing the finger conducting every match as the chants of "ohhh bask in his glory" get lesser and lesser every week is already stale as well. The only times he looks anywhere near impressive is down to others throwing themselves around and bumping like crazy for him. The best thing he's done in AEW is get spinebusted by Powerhouse Hobbs.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 23, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I don't know much about the guy at all but watching a couple of the bits of talking Keith Lee's done since going there I absolutely love his promo style and if you can't do something interesting and unique with that, then your wrestling company is failing miserably. He's got a fascinating manner about him and you could harness it in a number of ways and if he is struggling physically as everyone is suggesting (I haven't seen any of his matches, I don't think) then you've still got plenty to work with in the meantime.

Jonny Vegas Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Just seen that on twitter mate, proof what a hard work ethic, discipline and a brilliant attitude can achieve. He looks phenomenal and is constantly improving all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hobbs seems a good guy as well, love his dedication that he just goes around in his dungarees. On Ethan pages toyblog this week Swoggle couldn’t handle him and Danhousen being at the toy fair in full gimmick haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Vegas Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I like that though. I always remember hearing a story about Randy Savage at an appearance or signing and he was apparently in full regalia and full performance the entire time. Someone had allegedly asked him doesn't he mind having to do that and he said nobody was there to see Randy Poffo they were there to see The Macho Man.
