Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I haven't been a huge Sammy Guevara fan in the past but have started turning the corner on him recently. He's an incredibly unlikeable person/on-screen character, like I genuinely want to punch him every time he sticks his tongue out or does his "I'm crazy" taunt. He gets actual proper crowd heat which is very rare in this day and age. But he also throws all these absolutely mental spots into his matches which get loud reactions but importantly don't result in him getting babyface pops. Add to that he's being increasingly vicious and nasty in his wrestling and he and Tay have finally seemed to find their on-screen chemistry. Put it all together and his matches just have a unique chaotic atmosphere and energy to them. He still can't cut a promo for shit but I think there might finally be something there with him.

Loki Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I think I must be the only wrestling fan who doesn’t particularly enjoy the blood any more.  I definitely can live without slicing open an ear and  then Sammy licking it off his fingers. As an occasional gimmick that adds heat to major match, sure.  But a throwaway Rampage opener on a wet Friday?  It’s just redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if it was just Mox's ear bleeding I wouldn't have had a problem with it. But Sammy licking it then kissing Tay and her being spattered with blood over her mouth afterwards was definitely too much. Mox just seems to love blading for some reason. If he stopped you'd barely have any blood in AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 With it always being mox bleeding, how are we ever meant to feel he’s in danger of losing when he’s showing week on week that blood loss doesn’t stop him winning? Devalues blood and makes him a bit of a dick for killing it’s impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted December 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't mind the Mox bleeding trope. Looking at it from a kayfabe point of view, he's been busted open so many times now that it makes sense that his head is held together by papier-mâché and the slightest touch would cause him to start pissing blood.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2022 Thing is the blood often doesn't make sense in the context of the match. Like he bladed when he went against Takeshita. But really if Takeshita had bled, then still fought back valiantly against Mox's onslaught then that would have meant more than Mox bleeding against someone on the roster who isn't on his level. Confusing. I think Mox is generally great but he pretty regularly does stuff in his matches that makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted December 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2022 Him blading every match seems to have replaced him doing that fucking rebound clothesline thing so surely the blood is an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted December 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2022 Bobby Fish trying to come crawling back when he didn’t get the call. Triple H presumably deciding his money was better spent on talent such as Top Dolla. You love to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Top Dolla has already provided a more memorable moment on SmackDown than Bobby Fish has in his entire career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022  I'd probably buy a PPV off of that match graphic. Better give them 15 minutes or more and a good spot on the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 They'll get 15 minutes in the middle of the show, bookended by the other two women's segments, one of which will be a Britt Baker interview. Â It's the same every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted December 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2022 SHIDA is one of the best pure babyfaces in the business and always puts on a good match so I'm very much looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have gone for a halfway option where he rebounds off the ropes and spontaneously bleeds from the head as a comeback spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 A fresh start to the year with a new look sounds like a good idea, there's a lot of 2022 in the company that I want to see left behind and the past weeks TV looks like they're going that way.
