We live in a society now where those who are supremely talented have to take extra care as to not remind you they're talented, less they end up offending the mediocre majority.
America loves their entertainers and athletes humble.
Can't risk the fans thinking the superstar babyface they worship like a deity actually carries himself like God's gift.
Be great, just don't remind us of it.

100% agreed.

Aside from the attitude era and some coked out 80s/early 90s cats aren't all faces like this?
you mean when wrestling was good?

those coked out 80/90's cats and those dudes from the attitude era just so happen to be among the greatest characters of all time.

these wrestlers used to actually spit flows! they didn't just say spew some bland ordinary shyt. they spoke in metaphor!

you won't find a promo in the 80's where hogan told the other guy he was just a "better wrestler" than him. nah, hogan would paint these crazy images about he was gonna tear the whole fukkin building down and leave you stuck in the wreckage. dude told andre the giant he was gonna so ham in the ring that the fukkin spectators were gonna have to hop on his biceps and use them as a flotation device and swim to safety after it was all over.

these guys used to go IN !!!

like fukkin method man on 36 chambers. I'll fukkin... I'll fukkin...

just crazy over the top non stop flexin.

austin didn't "out perform" his opponent, he stomped a mudhole in them. the rock didn't proclaim he was gonna "beat" his opponent, he was gonna lay the smack down on em.

you NEED this shyt in wrestling. you gotta believe that these dudes are fukkin crazy. why is Clay Matthews more amped in the huddle for the start of a football game than these guys are for a supposed WRESTLING match!?

Cena saying that it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses was disgusting. I think it was aimed at Rock or Punk.

these soft ass babyfaces and their need to act humble all the time :camby:

whatever happened to muthafukkas just flexin?

where would (insert your favorite rapper here) be if they didn't have the gusto to proclaim themself the hottest rapper?

what is it that gave jadakiss the AUDACITY to proclaim top 5 dead or alive??

what gave hov the AUDACITY to call himself the god mc??

what gave kendrick the AUDACITY to claim king??


i'll tell you what it was... it was the same thing that gave BRET HART the audacity to proclaim that he was the best there ever will be. it was the same thing that gave STEVE AUSTIN the audacity to proclaim that he was the toughest sumbytch in wrestling. it was the same thing that gave VIRGIL the audacity to tell the viewers at home that he was gonna win the royal rumble this coming sunday.

that thing... that conviction... is MISSING from the wrestlers you see on tv today. especially the babyfaces.


neville: ":ehh:win or lose honestly i'm just happy to be here..."

cena: :ooh:"brock i know you're gonna give me the beating of my life this sunday but hey i'm still gonna try my best!

ziggler: :steviej:"i'll be happy for an opportunity"

reigns: :huhldup:"me?? beat lesnar?? geez... i dunno. he sure is strong... :patrice:



:camby:

get this weak shyt out of here.

these wrestlers are too fukkin soft.

no wonder why ppl gravitate towards the heels. they're the only ones with any BALLS!!!


Cena started that whole "LETS GO OUT THERE AND SHOW THE WWE UNIVERSE WHAT WE CAN DO!" bullshyt.
