Impact Wrestling November 18, 2021 - Josh Alexander vs Minoru Suzuki

[Chris]

Funny, when you saw him on WWE TV you could never think he would be able to train a guy well.

Nah I always thought he was an underrated but stereotypically boring "ring general"

 

[Chris]

Used to always give him props on Superstars and shit, but he was completely devoid of charisma and neither the Prime Time Players gimmick nor Bob Backlund could help that

 

[Chris]

It's why he thrives in NJPW, charisma is optional there

Ye I was going to say

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Titus O'Neil was definitely 100% of the charisma

 

[Chris]

Yeah they were mirrored as far as charisma/ring work skills went I thought lol

 

[Chris]

Fucking hated that team for the most part, always called them the Piss Time Players

 

[Chris]

So I'm guessing Full Metal Mayhem for Turning Point? I think I already knew that bc I read spoilers but I never remember lol

 

[Chris]

That was a helluva fucking segment

 

[Leon TrotSky]

At least I can have hope for something:

 

[Leon TrotSky]

The old wrestling rule is that if you stand tall on the go-home, you lose on the PPV

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Let's hope that holds for the GBs

 

[Chris]

Some guy actually did the match on that (WWE only I believe, but I'd assume myself they were the worst offenders), and it was actually really close to 50/50

 

[Chris]

I wanna say his sample size was like 2016-2019 or some shit but I could be off on that

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Ye it would probably be roughly 50/50 in "modern" wrestling
