General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

He’s def better than Jey in ring wise.

I really cant stand posers, and LA Knight just feels like corporate branded recycled material. Like yea he hits his spots and delivers it nicely, but its not his spots. I always heard about Shaun Ricker and how he was the next big thing and nothing stuck for him for years and years, and then when he has a machine behind him and hes attempted so many different tropes and fallen on his face like idk

 

[Professor Booty]

I’m not ever sure why people feel the need to talk about who they don’t like

 

[Chris]

Sometimes the corporate machine is just late on finding what to milk, look at Mr Iguana. I been laughing at this scthick for years

 

[Professor Booty]

lol every wrestler is a poser dude

 

[Brett]

See for me, I prefer a Jey Uso because he feels authentically himself and while I don't watch his matches, I can appreciate the movement behind his success as a singles guy

 

[Brett]

thats not to say like every gimmick should reflect the persons real persona, but when it's so clearly derived from something that they are not, it bores me lol

 

[Professor Booty]

I got no issues with Jey having his moment either. I just don’t know why Knight gets your ire.

yeah I think you’re so far off base on this one. But I’ll move on

 

[Brett]

No and for sure it's a subjective thing, it's my perspective and absolutely not the truth or reality in any way.

 

[Professor Booty]

You just like your soap boxes now and again. And this is the place for it.

 

[Brett]

But I just get that like marketing room cutting board corporate this is what a wrestling promo should look like, while it hits the spots, it just doesnt translate to me with the feel

 

[Brett]

The complete opposite of that is Swerve Strickland, I think he has mastered the feel, but the execution is always pretty shit, but no fault of his own I think he has a legit speech impediment

 

[Chris]

I just don't think Knight is that phony of a character, I would argue his actual personality is just that of a guy that needs to craft a persona anyway and I think he's crafted a good one

 

[Chris]

Like that one NWA promo where he was blasted, botched everything but still managed a good promo was amazing
