Wrestling fans have their issues but they are tame compared to most other fandoms. True. That is why at this point, Pro Wrestling Only is the only place that I have interest in talking on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just read a news/rumor/gossip thingy about Vince McMahon calling Angel Garza a "young Eddie Guerrero." It made me chuckle because if there's one guy that probably appreciated young Eddie Guerrero, it was Vince McMahon - who hired him when he was 33 and had already established himself as an incredible performer in multiple promotions, including his rival WCW and ECW. The past 20 years have proven that Vince has a very poor track record of taking young anythings and making them into a legit star. I mean, his last success story that he built from the ground up was who? Cena? Reigns kinda? Not downplaying Angel Garza's talent, but if anyone is going to be a breakout Latinx star, my money is actually going to be on Sammy Guevara just because he's in the best position to actually try a bunch of stuff, figure out what works, and get over without having the WWE Machine pigeonholing him or killing his creative spirit.

SmoothS Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I see the potential all over Sammy as well. He is very important to AEW's future, and he is the direct protege of the legendary Chris Jericho as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I totally see Garza being a "new Eddie". Dude oozes charisma, is very handsome, and can deliver a good promo in two languages. He's not as good as Eddie (which very few were), but he's still great.

SmoothS Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Eddie was blessed with the eras that he came up in. 90's AAA, 90's NJPW Jr. Division, 90's ECW, 90's WCW, WWF Attitude Era, & WWE Ruthless Aggression Era, even great stuff in early 2000's Indies. Those eras had some of the greatest booking of all time, and he was pushed as a top star in every era of those promotions. He was allowed to be the bright shining star that he was, as he was not held back like soooo many on today's WWE Main Roster. It's ridiculous. His charisma, character work, hilarity, and in-ring work were all way too strong to ignore. The bookers of those eras, such as Paul Heyman, just had their heads on right where they could actually notice that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 So listening to the Observer show from last night, WWE didn't want people wearing masks in the "crowd" because they didn't like how it would look on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean heck, Hector Garza in 2010 after his rudo turn was basically the closest we'd ever get to that sort of charisma. He probably had even more of it than Eddy during that run but didn't quite match up in other areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, AJ seems like a special kind of stupid, so it wouldn't surprise me. In all likelihood, it's probably a useless Jaxson Ryker type that no one would ever think of because no one cares about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if it was Vince. The way WWE has conducted itself would make a lot more sense if that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the definition of "the wrestling bubble" - where everything is wrestling. Anyone who uses phrases like "big work" to describe a real-life event really should recoil in extreme embarrassment. It shows such a profound lack of intellect, common sense, and maturity. A lot of wrestlers have really never had to grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I mean, Vince is the guy who long believed anyone sneezing was a sign of weakness, so it should be no shocker that they completely bungled their handling of a global pandemic. I'm sure he's in his office scoffing at all these people wanting to wear masks like "real men don't need masks, PAL!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
