Jey Uso responds to Rikishi's recent comments about his booking

[Comrade Khan]

You’d probably be getting Rikishi since Jey disagrees with his dad lol

pass

 

[Cwalker]

Most over he's ever been....

Bout to be involved in another masterclass angle....

And while Bron isn't losing that IC title anytime soon, Jey has to be on the short list of guys to beat him for it.

Pops be trippin

 

[JakeYourBooty]

He's probs telling Zilla to go to AEW unless he wants to be flirting with Rhea Ripley just giving Zilla all kinds of devious thoughts

He can start his own stable
The Lineage
And get any of the other 200 Anoia family members left to join

I mean I do.think there's a discussion to be had about not having him win any singles gold yet n not striking when the iron is hot at times. But rikishi doesn't strike me as wanting to have a level headed nuanced convo

Here’s my theory is that he was supposed to be the one to dethrone Gunther at Mania but him and Jimmy wanted to do the Brother v Brother thing instead. So Sami got his run.

I'll.agree to disagree there,I don't think that match would derail a whole planned run

I don’t know man the signs all pointed to Jey v Gunther and then seemed to go back to Jimmy kinda late in Mania season

 

[Cwalker]

He would've been a better option than Sami imo

Agreed
My thoughts on the Jey/Jimmy match and build are well known

It was heatless cuz Jey was winning all the time and Jimmy was a pin eating geek.

 

[Cwalker]

I think it was France where they did Jey vs Priest for the WHC and tbh, I would've been perfectly content if they put the belt on him there

 

[Comrade Khan]

I don't think Hunter sees him as a main eventer because he doesn't really love goofy guys as his top dudes so far

Then lose the whole JD turning on him and Rhea angle? With the Finn betrayal costing him? Naw Gunther was always taking the title

 

[Comrade Khan]

Could just be hunter has his guys in mind first. We will need to wait n see since their stories take a long long long time

In ring wise he isn’t
His move set is basic as fuck
And mic wise he’s decent but if it wasn’t for Yeet he’d only be half as over
Midcard title is his absolute ceiling and I don’t know if he gets that

Well I think a lot of Jey fans feel differently about that assessment. Which is likely where that rikishi passion stems from. He's just way too extreme with it lol. I do think he doesn't fit what hunter values as a world champ. I just think a lot of people will disagree with those values.

Like One argument would be jey is more over and a bigger draw than Gunther despite being much weaker in ring n presence.
