I’m actually shocked they’ve given Gable this much offense.

Why is Howdy pandering to the crowd?!

 

[Sabretooth]

Why is Howdy pandering to the crowd?!

uh cause they’re here cause of Bray?

 

[Deadd2009]

That kills the gimmick though

 

[Sabretooth]

Lmao Rowan just beating the shit out of the Creeds while carrying Ivy Nile

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

This is fucking awesome

 

[Sabretooth]

That kills the gimmick though

No it doesn’t. It’s already been well established that they’re babyfaces who have come together because of Bray. They know that the crowd appreciates what they’re trying to do and acknowledge the crowd as such.

I can’t see Brutus Creed without thinking of his Bloodsport entrance lol

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

At worst they're tweeners

 

[Sabretooth]

At worst they're tweeners

Nah they’re full babyface. That’s 100%

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

They're also just shit wreckers who are all generally awesome

 

[Sabretooth]

They're also just shit wreckers who are all generally awesome

That is also true

 

[Storm Trooper]

Loved that. Love that The Wyatt's are regular humans and not super powered beings.

But they aren't supposed to. Because they're supposed to be portrayed as outcasts who were forgotten by the system and came together because of Bray's presence. Uncle Howdy isn't supposed to point to the crowd to get them to cheer, lol. Bo Dallas is the one who's supposed to get the crowd on his side.
