For Great Justice Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I get the Mark Henry comp because they’re built similarly and they’re both Texans, but style wise Lee has that Bam Bam Bigelow agile big man vibe moreso to me Edited February 10, 2022 by For Great Justice 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Lee reminds me of dudes from Worlds Strongest Man reruns on ESPN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 JR compared Lee to Mark Henry for the same criteria he used to compare Sammy Guevara to Gino Hernandez. Really, comparing Lee and Henry is actually far more egregious. Except for the obvious, there is nothing to compare them. I’d fall out of my chair if he ever compared a minority wrestler to a white wrestler based on wrestling style. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Lee is his own thing to me. I get the BBB comparison though since he's a big flippy... if he ever snapped and became a viscious heel I could easily see him being Vader. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just an arena employee who would rather be home? Wait a second, that was KIP SABIAN sitting in front of me at the Dark tapings last month? I did notice the guy go right past security and walk backstage for a little bit during the middle of the tapings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee was doing a lot of power spots, JR works with the "World's Strongest Man" and connects the dots. Lee was wrestling primarily a power match, so it's not THAT egregious (unlike the Sammy-Gino one). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 If you want another view of Jay White, he's gonna be on AXSTV in an hour or so against Tanahashi from 3/1/19 in New Japan. I watched the Lee return and Jesus yes he has blown up. Not that I have a problem with that. He'll be back to proper shape soon I'm sure. In the meantime, he can beal/beel/beele whatever dudes all day long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Lee is closer to Vader/Bam Bam/Blackwell than Henry for me, without the snarl of Vader. I hope Lee and Hobbs pair up. Looking at cagematch, Hobbs hasn't won on the main shows since last September (feel free to correct me on that) so it'd be good to see him throwing guys around while Lee does his thing and notching wins in a team. Matches against Punk/Moxley and Darby/Sting came to mind as being potential crackers. Edited February 11, 2022 by Jimbo_Tsuruta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty J. Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Here we were bickering about Osprey and Gargano and we got Switchblade and Keith Lee, which is a million times better. I quit social media this year and it makes the shows so much more enjoyable with the constant spoilers (I usually watch the shows a day later on Fite). Also love the fact we were dreading the Inner Circle and MJF segments and they both delivered and didn’t disappoint in my book. Jericho gets his fair share of shit the last couple of months for whatever reason, but the man is a professional and knows what connects with the crowd. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 20 hours ago, TheVileOne said: They named the titles after the actual networks and to promote the Dynamite move to TBS. Not my fault. And WWE named a title after the United States but routinely defends it outside of the United States. Exact same thing. It's a name. Not a limiting weight class or specified designation for title defenses. It's just a name. If it was a Cruiserweight Title and 500 pound guys got titles shots, you'd have a point. This is just an arbitrary name that has no limiting factors or weight class tied to it. Same as TV Champ, US Champ, European Champ, ect. Just a name.
