General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

He might actually be good at that, unpopular opinion but I don't think Dusty actually was bc he couldn't teach his magic, it just came to him and no one can be dusty

 

[Chris]

Knight is quick witted but he's clearly a promo study lol

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Sometimes being a good promo you can't teach other people about

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Off the top of my head, Dusty, Shawn, and Savage you really couldn't get them to teach you promos because they were just magical

Yeah I can see that Dusty was definitely magic and you can’t teach that but his impact on those NXT kids was special regardless.

Savage I agree to there is no way to teach that. I think Hall is in that category to because he just was cool and you can’t teach people how to be cool.

Knight is quick witted but he's clearly a promo study lol

For sure and I think that’s why he’d be great as a teacher

 

[Chris]

Yeah I think just having Dusty there did a lot so I wouldn't even change it necessarily

Yeah for sure
Watching his ten bell salute on NXT and seeing the faces of the wrestlers you knew he meant the world to them

 

[Chris]

It's pretty cool he'll always be a major part of NXT's history too, really bridges the gap between old and modern times

Obviously I never knew the man but fuck do I feel like I did after years of him on my tv. He just had that warmth about him that made you feel like he was an uncle from far away.

 

[Bad News Booty]

For me anyways
But obviously I watched him in his prime when I was just a kid so could be why I feel so much about the man

 

[Chris]

My Dad was always an NWA guy over WWF, he loved Flair and hated Hogan but Dusty was probs his second favorite

 

[Bobby Barrows]

My parents grew up in the 60s and 70s and they were pretty much AWA folks lol

 

[Bobby Barrows]

They'd tell me stories about the Vachons, The Crusher, Verne Gagne, and co.

 

[Chris]

My dad mostly watched Mid-South, I don't even really recall him having many World Class favorites, but in east Texas they were closer to Mid-South shows than Dallas anyway so makes sense. Their TV was taped in Shreveport like an hour away
