Lmao managers distracting to cause their own loss

I always wondered about that spot. Like you're helping them cheat. Usually it's the babies being dumb, though.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Not smart of Truth to threaten the champ before your tag team match.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

EZ still around. Nice.

Yeah considering babyfaces do it all the time it's nice to see heels do it every now and then just to make it not as much of a face trope I guess

 

[Chris]

But i hate when faces do it too tbf

 

[Chris]

Is Red actually inured or something? bc if not idk why you'd replace him with the Maximo with that angle beforehand

"Faces are terminally stupid" is my least favourite wrestling trope

 

[Chris]

Also I like this double elimination concept guantlet thing a lot

I only get SUPER annoyed by it when someone is freshley turned face and instantly falls to it when they never did it as heel a career babyface I can just headcanon that they're not a smart person

 

[Sky]

You'd have to be stupid to be a career face anyway

 

[Chris]

Ricky Steamboat was not stupid

 

[Chris]

This EZ Money/Styles exchange so far

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Even Sting and Rey had heel turns. They were smart boys.
