Breakker, Cody, Randy, like come on

lol ya Randy , duh

 

[Comrade Khan]

I can understand hyping a guy but come the fuck on lol

 

[Hoss]

ereas many WWE Superstars have had children who attempted to follow in their footsteps (Ric Flair's son David stands out as the most obvious example), none have had the physical tools Brian Pillman, Jr. has - this is the most ridiculous one tho lmao

Ric has another child named Charlotte who is arguably the most athletically gifted female wrestler in the company's history

 

[Hoss]

Really it's just USA doing publicity, which is fair enough, and hoping the people it's reaching don't know any better

 

[Storm Trooper]

Wait... did they officially say anything about Pillman Jr? Thought all we've seen is the vignettes with someone channel surfing.

oh just USA Network. Not WWE themself.

indeed. still really weird timing and also as I pointed out, it was legit full of exagerations and lies. just strange all around (tho like Hoss said its just promotion stuff but yea, insulting to the intelligence of anyone who actually pays attention lol)

 

[Comrade Khan]

we will see what happens either way, I don't have high hopes at all for the guy. maybe he will do better with a script idk

oh yeah it's laughable how crazy it is. I mean yeah you gotta speak up people but you can talk to someone without insulting the intelligence of the informed reader.

exactly, also low key burying a bunch of 2nd and 3rd generation tyalent still with the company. dont think that was intentional but damn lol

 

[Storm Trooper]

I mean they could have just said another 2nd generation superstar. Hell I'm fine with "plucking from the competition" even though his contract expired, but yeah making the guy sound like a main eventer when he is midcard job guy at best is not smart.

yeah the plucking thing I can accept as hype and pumping WWE tires (even though I think most ppl who watch both product chuckled at that a bit). I feel like selling him as an underdog who is on a redemption arc would have been much, much more ffective (and truthful)

 

[Comrade Khan]

cuz ya I think overhyping this dude might blow up in their faces a bit if he doesn't immediately stand out

 

[Comrade Khan]

wonder if he will be there tonight
