And if you want to turn Shawn face he could like his wounds, come back realizing his fuckups and partner with a popular/semi-popular babyface. I think that could lead to some fun tags if they wanted to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) The #SearchForSpears thing does seem like some ludicrous stalling that will lead nowhere fast. But maybe he could have Spears and FTR - Spears isn't exactly much for flips and there's already a good amount of potential Trios in AEW (SCU, Best Friends & Orange, Death Triangle, Uno/Grayson/Exalted, Cody/Dustin/QT, Jurassic Express, MJF/Butcher/Blade, Bucks/Hardy?) - I'd be amazed if we didn't see a tourney at some point. Yeah, or they could just turn him face. They haven't really done a face turn in AEW yet? Edited March 6, 2020 by ComingToAmerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I think #SearchForSpears sounds like a nice wait & see angle like how the #JoinTheDarkOrder has turned out for them. It’s a million times better than the “Chairman”. Plus, Tully’s ad read for that commercial was excellent. We need Tully hawking for Valvoline(or something else) in character.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Nothing that I’ve heard. They’re probably looking at which wrestlers take the bait, and plan accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing most are waiting to see with the Dork Odor is if the Exalted One is someone we actually like getting thrown into the pool of suck. Similarily, the only thing people are waiting on with the search is to see if it's possible to get Spears over. I'm not sure that kind of wait and see is "nice." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Audience participation through social media is fun, though. It’s also helped me to discover indie talent I have never seen before. Edited March 6, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Tbf I think the AEW fans are pretty good with dorky Shawn Spears in AEW Dark tag matches. He was essentially built up initially to be roadkill for Cody, and to a lesser extent Moxley. Not working much has been a hindrance I think, though good for his body I'm sure.

Jiji Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Suge also was fantastic on commentary for I believe the first Spring Break? I think once his in ring career winds down he should have a job calling matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 He was a commentator for Beyond for a little while as well. He also has a really good Podcast. Last one had Ophidian as a guest, next one has the leader of those Walmart Wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Listened to the episode with Holidead and it was okay. Some parts were great but a lot of it was people preaching to the choir/echo chamber effect. Smart guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is kinda neat. I was listening to Prichard's podcast today and apparently "Dolph Ziggler" wasn't a take on Dirk Diggler. It's a combo of Dolph Brisco, former governor of Texas, and Zig Ziggler, the motivational author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Lillian Garcia's podcast, Dolph said that the name came about when he got a call that they were going to put him on TV with the name "David Diggler". He protested and asked if he could come up with a better name, and was told he had 15 minutes to come up with something better, He settled on Dolph because of an uncle named Adolph and Dolph Lundgren. When he got to the meeting, someone slipped him a piece of paper with "Ziggler" written on it and he sold Vince and the writers on "Dolph Ziggler".

Well, now we have a mystery of who came up with the only dumb name I've never gotten used to. A mystery that makes me hate myself for spending time on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) So SXSW was canceled, and now this... Sooooo we’ll see how this effects other public events i.e. WrestleMania, the events surrounding that weekend, and other live wrestling events like WWE TV, and AEW TV are affected. I hope this shit doesn’t make it to late May. Edited March 7, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
