Isn't it the other way around? Cornette slapped Santino for not selling fear of the Boogeyman. By the way, it should be noted that Danhausen is very much a Cornette kind of gimmick. The key to his curses is that they never involve anything outside the realm of physical possibility. Like, a guy will get cursed and then get blindsided by an opponent or slip and fall off the apron. Anyway, it looks like we have a candidate for the first NXT greenhorn to inadvertently end up on Punk's shit list: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah IIRC Santino was still doing the Russian shooter gimmick at the time, which actually was a point in his favor why he wouldn't sell being afraid of the Boogeyman.

Cornette’s issue wasn’t that Marella didn’t sell The Boogeyman, it’s that he laughed when Boogeyman got in his face…on camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Also this whole "Punk is taking over HBK's role in NXT!" talk is hilarious to me. Dude went to Orlando and so far only took mark pics with the ladies. We know what CM stands for. AJ Lee making a comeback any time now.

Embrodak Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Apparently PWInsider reported that WBD did in fact request a meeting with WWE to discuss buying Raw broadcast rights, so we may in fact be in the funny timeline where CM Punk believing, justly or falsely, that the Bucks started or enabled a rumor about him retaliating against Colt Cabana’s TV presence led to AEW losing their major network partner.

El-P Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 If Punk gets WWE the WBD deal, he should be asking to be the one defeating Roman at Mania. Anything less should not work for him, brotha. And then, shit's really on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that I actually started watching that a few weeks ago. When I was a kid, the syndicated TV schedule meant starting at 11pm I could watch World Class, NWA Pro, then GLOW to cap off the night. Now on Saturdays I watch Collision, Rampage, and WOW to get some of that nostalgia back. I will say one thing, there's still the unmistakable David McLane gimmicks, the actual wrestling part is actually taken way more seriously this time around. Yes the tone of the show is still silly, but compared to the old GLOW this might as well be 1989 NWA by comparison. To tie it all together, they brought in AJ Lee a little bit ago to help book the shows IIRC so that's probably a big part of how that happened.

sek69 Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Also look at the Kabuki Warriors out there doing smooth as fuck tag team maneuvers after not having teamed up in forever. Didn't miss a beat. Anyone else find it alarming how tiny Zelina looks even next to the waif-like Kairi? It's like shes nearly a legit lucha mini. Hopefully WWE doesn't decide to run with it and make her their Kemonito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I assume the logic behind this move and turning AJ heel is that they kind of have a shortage of top heels, don’t they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love how Cody inferred that maybe MJF putting on muscle lately was him getting prepared to eventually go to WWE. Talk about saying everything you need to know about the culture there (but hey, JR never told anyone they have to take roids, it's a "personal decision and responsibility", right ?). And hell, that's what Cody did too at one point. With the result that we know of, probably. It's fascinating that the whole "pile of muscle" thing is still a thing in perception of so-called stars. So infantile, really. (and on a sidenote, I don't get why you wouldn't mind ending up with a disgusting skin just to have big muscles. Some of those guys, like MJF, Bill, Rush, on HD are just, yuck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Rush's case is worse that he looks big, but not really ripped like AJ Styles (who looks to be on the juice too) and Orton, and he easily has the worst backne at the moment. I remember when Jinder got his championship run, his back was stuff of nightmares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Jinder was positively grotesque during his time as champion. Between the bacne, the gyno, the traps, and the extreme vascularity, I'm pretty sure he displayed literally every single telltale sign of steroid abuse.

The more things change, the more they stay the same... Yeah, That Indian Guy was definitely saying his prayers and taking his vitamins, but I remember his push fondly. At least it was something different. Facing Randy Orton in three dull matches really didn't do him any favors. It did give us this, though.
