hammerva Posted September 24 Posted September 24 At this point you have to bring Danielson in tomorrow and just beat the living piss out of Nigel. The last thing AEW needs right now is a move that will piss off the fans. Especially given how attendance is dropping like a stone with an almost "what me worry" attitude from Tony. I heard on Observer that as of last Friday I think the number of ticket sold for this show is half of last year and any chance of seeing a boost in attendance is probably gone by still not announcing this match And I am sure people will tell us that it is build great heat for Nigel. That's cool if there is an actual plan for him other than this feud. Which we would have to wait a good month or more because Bryan is dealing with Moxley. 1
Curt McGirt Posted September 24 Posted September 24 This may just be me, but rap/"urban" player gimmicks don't work for me in wrestling. Private Party, the Acclaimed, the one in NXT whatever that was called. It just comes off as corny to me. If you are really from the streets then you are a guy like Homicide (who yes I know is Puerto Rican not black) and if you aren't then you are probably the New Day. I also really just hate "bling" shit. Get that Puffy crap outta my wrestling.
Curt McGirt Posted September 24 Posted September 24 My opinion? I think it just comes down to aesthetics. Wouldn't look too deep.
AxB Posted September 24 Posted September 24 It's like when Sami Callihan was in NXT, and had a computer hacker gimmick. Someone kept saying "I don't get it, why would a hacker also wrestle?" and he wondered what made hackers so special. Like nobody ever asked why a Racecar driver or a Sanitation Worker or a Hockey player or a Rapper would wrestle, they'd just accept "Here comes the Wrestling racecar driver Woohoo!"
John E. Dynamite Posted September 24 Posted September 24 (edited) I'd say it's often the "default" gimmick in the way that a lot of redneck/cowboy/working man gimmicks are and thus wind up being the gimmicks of people who aren't particularly creative. But The Acclaimed are like, this very online modern rapper/Reddit troll/Attitude Era throwback/actually queer thing that for all its good and bad isn't anywhere near the standard "urban" gimmick. I will resist the urge to unpack further. Edited September 24 by John E. Dynamite
