Heel (substack.com) Legitimately thought the nobody Q ref's first name was Drew, lol, and was wondering what happened between Bix and Drake Maverick... There goes what I thought were my amazing DrewAnon and QWuertz nicknames. I was wondering why no one else on PWO was praising my wit. I hadn't seen that Bix article though. Very enlightening stuff, and downright scary that someone in a position of power in a major company (talent relations for NXT) believes all that crap and will likely use it to influence who is hired.

I find it wild how the dude basically reformed, getting himself out of an addiction slump and became a worse person in the process. Quote

That really is the worst part. He should be the best kind of redemption story, guy cleaned himself up and got a nice gig with the largest company in his profession where he doesn't have to do deathmatch shit anymore, yet somehow he's become worse because of it. He's like bizarro world Nick Gage. Quote
sek69 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 You know, it's surprising no one has mentioned the (accidental?) synergy of the Q infested WWE making its COVID home in an arena named after an infamous MLM/Pyramid scheme company (Amway). Like feathered birds flocking together and whatnot. Quote

NintendoLogic Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 These Undertaker Cameo videos sure are something. Just know that there's someone out there who has nothing better to spend a grand on than having Taker address him as All Elite Scooby-Doo. Quote

cm funk Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Oh god, Cornette and Last were playing some of those on the last Drive Thru and I was literally crying with laughter. I couldn't believe how stupid it was that he did this shit Then Alvarez bought one for Granny! Quote

FMKK Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 I just wish there could be a full stadium in Naples to give him a rapturous send-off Quote
KawadaSmile Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Posted November 25, 2020 Also, people on Twitter said he was one of the biggest heels in sports history. Wildly untrue. Was possibly the biggest face in history for not only Argentina, but for the city of Naples as well. Heck, even Brazilians kind of like him, despite him slapping our asses in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. He scored a goal with an assist from God himself, brother! Quote

El-P Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Wow, that's a name I have known since probably day 1 of my online pro-wrestling fandom. That's sad. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Posted November 25, 2020 in wrestling terms, the Brazil/Argentina '90 match was the young lion, after some piss-poor performances, finally getting their act together but being unable to keep the more experienced opposition down. it only took them one single shot: Maradona dribbled past 3 or 4 of our linesmen, and gifted Caniggia with a peachy pass.

I've spoken with friends on the phone about him today and seen comments on message boards and have not seen one negative post about him. Yes, for a period folk were pissed about Mexico '86, but his sheer talent, skill and couldn't give a fuckery won most folk over. Watching clips on YouTube and his control of a football was second to none, plus he was tough as nails. Check out clips from the Copa Del Ray in '84 against Bilbao, the Athletic team target him something rotten and he just gets up and carries on (until it all boils over). He played in an era when players got little protection and someone as skillful as him got it worse than most. The guy lived a colourful life and probably crammed several into those sixty years. Quote

I said it cuz the ones talking about him being heel were English people I follow like Allan, who also posts here. Not saying that the British did not like him; as you said, he was so good and so charismatic, it was almost impossible to not like him. Quote
GSR Posted November 25, 2020 Report Posted November 25, 2020 Maybe some English folk do hold a grudge still (and I do my best to avoid Twitter as much as possible these days), but me, my friends, no, nothing but respect for him and his talent. Quote
