I do. I know the comparison gets thrown around A LOT, but he has so much Eddie Guerrero in him. The charisma is so smooth and his in ring work is top notch. Team Taz will serve as a good learning tree for him as he refines his persona. That's really all he needs, to find his hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid needs a shot . Terrific show. AEW is fun, I can’t remember the last time I thought wwe was fun. I said before. When AEW is good its real good. When its bad its the worst. This week and week before last were great shows. Last week was the worst wrestling program Ive ever witnessed. On Starks. I should like him being hes from New Orleans. But like you. Im not getting the vibes. He seems to me as one of those guys that will make the diehards and current base of fans happy. But nobody with any appeal to draw in a single new fan. Too generic. Same style, same moveset as any other heel on AEW. If theres anything to him. He needs to separate himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is where it's a real blow to AEW that Jeff Cobb opted to sign on with NJPW over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Disagree entirely, honestly. Starks is one of the best promos in wrestling right now. I think the stuff between him and Darby has been pretty lazy booking, but Stark's promos have carried the program. He's been a bright spot of the shows for me and I've found the past few weeks a lil boring myself. I don't think he's great in the ring, but his heel work is top notch in my opinion. I don't think Cobb would have done much in AEW right now, don't think it's much of a loss. They've got Miro who is similar, likely not going to be a heel, though. They don't have enough time week to week to showcase the guys they already have. And come on bro, AEW at it's worst is still better than retribution or carmella, plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz enough hyperbole. Dio Maddin straight looked into Ali's face like he was sci fi monster ready to attack Edited October 7, 2020 by Troy Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody leaves for a month and drops the title. Returns and gives it back to himself. His program and it always feels like hes doing things for himself and Brandys personal benefit. I was hoping it would be a 3 match series. Cody takes 2 bad losses. Then overcomes all to win it style. Not a "Brody, hold my bag while I use the john. Ok Im back, give it here." type deal.

Cody has the best promo game going in the world right now. He has the most appealing in ring work to both all styles of wrestlers and wrestling fans. He appeals to the people who prefer the old school style and he appeals to those who would rather watch the high flying indie style. He is a master at making matches feel BIG. It would be stupid to not have Cody in a prominent role. Besides I still think we are likely to get a rubber match with Brodie Lee, likely at Full Gear. The Brandi take is particularly bad though. She hasnt even sniffed title contention. She's only had 3 matches in the singles division all year and she sits at 2-1. I cant even remember the last time she was ranked. She was positioned to be a tag team player and then lost the tag tournament. If anything, Brandi has been trying (and failing more times than not) to elevate other women in the division.

Troy Brown Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm bored of Cody's promos. They all have similar cadence and feel the same at this point. It just feels weak to be destroyed the way he did and make a huge deal out of it only for him to be so dominant 6 weeks later. I see Cody's appeal. But it's some Jeff Jarrett booking, imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 lmao man I really hate the WWE I'm watching this draft to see what they do. First off, who is making the damn picks? And why can you pick a whole damn stable as one pick? It's hilariously bad and they do it to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
