Log Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 For the record, I do realize that pro wrestler heights/weights are some of the most unreliable numbers in existence. I just got curious after all of the discussion here and looked both guys up. The results were too funny not to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH it night be the most amazing double turn ever. MJF's character development the past couple of months has been completely out of this world. I know they were teasing it a bit last year before he won the title, but him completely leaning into his inner babyface has been absolutely incredible. He would be insane to jump to WWE, because they'd never give an "outsider" anything this meaty to dig into. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo joe Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 15 hours ago, AxB said: In Beyond Wrestling, they did a gimmick show where the idea was it was a tryout show for a TV Network, so everyone had new gimmicks and matches had lame Sportz Entz storylines (like "Hackman" (Wheeler Yuta) and Christian Casanova (Carmelo Hayes) fought over control of a USB drive). The Hardcore match between Slade and "Mack Hetfield" (Matthew Justice) saw them repeatedly set up hardcore death bumps, only for the Network Executive (Hornswoggle) to come out and say that was too extreme and they couldn't use that. The only weapon he approved was a Sink Plunger. Only then Hetfield small packaged and pinned Slade before he could use it. Mack Hetfield was Matt Justice's name in FCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone always uses the excuse of, 'Oh, they would neuter him in a tightly scripted environment' - but to me, it's less about that, and more about those character nuances you're describing. I made reference to this in a joking sort of way re: the Jack Perry turn, but MJF is another one that I think they would throw into one of Jericho's old suits from '08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrag Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Cole seems to be doing everything in his power to limit head trauma both while he is taking moves and when he is on offense. His opponents seem to be doing the same. Cash hit an awesome clothesline this week that landed below Cole’s chest. If that means more pump kicks or super kicks so be it. He has clearly proven that he can still connect with an audience while working a very cautious style and I for one love to see it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The Superkicks/Pump Kicks work in one very specific way, as a babyface hot tag. Him coming in and clearing out guys with them before they go into things breaking down or a finishing stretch or whatever does work for me. He's pretty good at working the apron and cheerleading too. There's a turn coming one way or another and I don't think Khan would keep Cole in tags anyway, but this is basically the only thing I think he can do well right now in-ring and they should embrace it to the fullest, especially since it protects him physically. Now, if you guys still hate it, I don't know what to tell you. There's not a lot left for the guy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know LA Knight gets big pops and the fans love him to death, but if previous WWE history is any indication they're just going to punish him for getting over too organically. As for "top WWE star" Rob Eckos... not only did I literally not know he was even with the company, I don't think I'd survive if you put a gun to my head and told me to pick him out of a lineup. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how he claims a reject from TNA that’s on NXT as a parody of Tony Khan is a “top star”. Robert Stone isn’t remotely over or anywhere near star level. The true top stars are Roman, Seth, Both USOs, Judgment Day (as a whole), and Sami/KO. Hell you can tell Jey Uso is over when Ian tried stealing his nickname for Ricky Starks on Collision this week (Main Event). And before someone gets their panties in a wad no “Stroke Daddy” isn’t a bigger star nor does he have more IT factor than Jey Uso. Just because Drew wants Ricky to stroke him doesn’t mean he’s that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotta strongly respectfully disagree on that one. And that's nothing against an Uso whatsoever - I just think Starks' stock is on the rise huge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Kenny on his shoulders punching his head from behind and getting electric chair dropped while the Bucks get suplexed. Since Cole's kicks got brought up, I saw one that was like six inches away from someone's face on Saturday. There was another incredibly obvious and ridiculous whiff earlier but I can't recall who did what, made the point on the Discord with both that they'll end up on Botchamania for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think he’ll hit the levels that Jey is presently hitting. Then again my favorite wrestler that seems to be exclusive to Collision is Jay White so maybe I’m just being critical that he’s not getting the push opposite of Punk. And thank you for being respectful. I like being able to have a nice discussion whenever possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
