PWD 283: Bulletproof

[Prime Ang]

Yea, I mean, it's a fresh and good gimmick, no way that shit get's over though.

 

[Prime Ang]

But of course, even though we all know this, when they get no pop and get moved down to Ascension status, it'll be Vince's fault because he's an old pos who's out of touch right?

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Would like to see what he does without a catchphrase before I think of him as more than a Road Dogg like stick man.

Did he do any promos in NXT without his catchphrases?

That was always my criticism of them in NXT everyone always talked about their amazing mic skills but outside of the one video from promo class I never saw anything but the same catchphrases over and over again. When he finished his script last night though and went with the insults on Bubba and D-von then I was sold. They were legit funny and made me want to see more. Big things coming from these two. Love their presence, they felt like stars(they take meteor showers, howyadoin') already.

I could see the gimmick working if they transitioned it more to just being mega hipster douches. Everyone hates those.

 

[BotchMan]

Hopefully AJ and Chris have one final match on Raw next Monday to settle that feud decisively with AJ as the winner (yes he pinned Chris in the 4 Way) the feud needs a proper blowoff, Roman can go like "you think you're gonna beat me when you can't even beat that old man" ensue match, Styles Clash Calf Crusher combo ftw, and nobody can bitch.

Don't forget Kevin Dunn

The very first time I saw them on NXT a while back I was like "this gimmick sucks" but then they won me over and I'm a mark for them now.

It reminds me of the first time we saw John Cena's shtick, and immediately wrote his gimmick off as the most pathetic thing ever.

"White Rapper? Yeah, that'll get over, LOL!"

The guy was just so good on the mic, that you couldn't help but like him. That's what this Enzo guy reminds me of. Just look at the guy. He's got the most ridiculous getup I've ever seen this side of Bastion Booger, but I don't even care because he's that good on the mic.

If the wrestling thing doesn't work out, simply because he's really, really small, he could easily translate to a manager/mouthpiece for the promo-impaired.

 

[Nuclearlandmine]

They don't look painful, though. That's my point. He looks like an amateur, who never trained how to throw proper pro-wrestling strikes. He looks like he's just throwing slow, weak, sloppy strikes. On top of that, he has quite possibly the shittiest backstabber I've ever seen. He looks less seasoned in the ring than Brie Bella. I'm dead fucking serious.



Who said it was Jericho's purpose to put him over? That's just an assumption. Jericho seems to be sticking around, so why was it his job to put Styles over? Simply feuding with Jericho is plenty to get him over, and immediately elevate him. Think of the other options they could have gone with. He could've started his WWE career feuding with fucking Neville or some shit. WWE doesn't owe AJ a damn thing, and they've booked him rather favorably, even if he did take a loss at WM. Be happy he's where he's at.


And seriously, fuck Zack Ryder. Is it even worth getting upset over? He's a goddamned jobber. He received a gift, not a punishment.

I'm merely arguing about the inconsistency in WWE bookings and people's opinion about them, mind you. I've lurked in here long enough to see all kind of mental gymnastic about it. I don't care about Zack Ryder either, but something smells.

I'm pretty sure even your parents hate you.

At least you aren't going for the neckbeard route, so that's a plus i guess?

“All the stupid idiots are so angry that Jericho beat [AJ] Styles, Jericho buried Styles. You’re damn right I did. I buried him. I’m gonna bury everybody I work against because nobody can touch me. And everybody who thought AJ Styles was gonna come in, and AJ Styles was going to win, I proved you all wrong. I’ve been listening to the show and you can stop it. All of you can.

I’m sick of this…all you guys are mad about it and yet I still won. I will bury everyone from this moment forward.”

Who gave them the gimmick? If they were given the gimmick and told to run with it then whoever gave it to them is out of touch

That gimmick is over in NXT, only reason they are getting called to main roster, not WWE's fault that neck beards think they run the world when in reality they are a small smidge of the fan base.

 

[SocraticMethod]

Breeze and Fandango are future members of the job squad, or whatever that faction is called. More than 3 Man Band ver 2.0?

The good thing about NXT is there's a clear jobber tier and if those guys don't work out they go back to the indies or do something else. It must be very disappointing to work your way up and out of NXT to become the jobber tier for the main show. WWE should do another Raw/Smackdown Draft and divide the shows again.

Fuck. No.

Agreed. Which can honestly be seen when they push Reigns anywhere other than WM, RR, Chicago, Philly, and the New York areas.

It's a joke gimmick. It's not meant to be taken too seriously. Which is exactly why they'll fail. A small crowd who is familiar with them, is in on the joke. A large uninitiated crowd will be thinking "WTF?".

I'm really surprised they didn't repackage them a bit for the big stage. They're gonna insta-fail. It's taking an inside joke a little too far. Kinda like Emma's original gimmick.

Whose idea was it to repackage Johnny Curtis into Fandango?

Especially the younger crowd, they have no fucking clue what a vaude themed show is like, a lot of the older crowd probably doesn't either.

A fucking moron.

 

[My Spot]

lol @ Cole marking out when their music hit last night. "Oh my god...it's them!"

 

[Count Zero]

Does anyone even know what Heath Slater's finisher is ? Without looking it up
