Nah I been watching 25 years. I remember when people just liked wrestlers and didn't count "pops" as an indication of whether a wrestler was "over".
Matter of fact, I remember when fans didn't use words like "over" and "smark" and just enjoyed the show.
This nikka isn't even getting Godfather level pops. He's not even getting Hacksaw Jim Duggan levels of fan support. nikkas screaming "We Want Cena" and checking Bleacher Report during his matches. I been watching wrestling long enough to know son just ain't that good. Mind you I like his look and wish he was dope. But he ain't... YET.
He's not good as Cena.
He's not good as Jericho.
He's not good as Austin.
He's not good as RVD.
He's not good as Booker T.
He's not good as CM Punk.
He's not good as Mick Foley.
He's not good as Curt Hennig.
He's not good as Sami Zayn.
He's not that fukking good...
When things are shoved down your throat, people will accept because humans are sheep. This guy is swaggerless, can't talk and he lacks psychology to his matches. He's wack RIGHT NOW.
He's in the first years of his career, so you can't expect him to be good. That's like giving "Stunning" Steve, Flex Kavana or "Los Gringos" Eddie G, the WWE strap. It took them YEARS, to put it all together. 3 years in, Bret Hart wasn't ready to be champ, neither is this guy. He's not fukking over, just like Austin wasn't immediately over after the 3:16 promo. It took months later for it all to click.
I was at NXT Takeover in Brooklyn, I took a chick with me who never even watched wrestling, Everybody was fukking "over"... She still text me and ask me when we going again. That's cause they all had an actual organic connection to the crowd. This dude is fukking Sam Worthington, Jai Courtney status. They gon shove him till he fits, but this company is trash because your only as good as your weakest link.
