BestInTheWorld614 Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I think being on a weekly show has really exposed the Bucks. Yes they have done stuff before but not to the same character work that a weekly cable show requires. I know they think all the insider terms and saying things with a wink and a nod are cool and funny and fans of theirs will eat it up but for a fan like me who knew them casually it’s a big turn off. Like I’m cool with getting yourself over but not at the expense of everyone around you and force yourselves to be the cool kids. Guys like Darby, Jungle Boy, and Page do it for me bc they have that cool factor without really trying. I also feel the same way about Omega as I do the Bucks. I know he is supposed to come off as an egomaniac and a little unhinged with control but his promos ramble and seem repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 A big problem too is they always sorta had a mouthpiece around them. In PWG they had Steen for a bit, in NJPW they had all of the BC, in ROH Cole and Scrull for a bit. Like you have a show with Jake Roberts and Eddie Kingston and hell even Don Calius can talk his ass off and than you go to Bucks trying to be tough guys. They kinda always excelled in the role of like guys who shit talk from afar because they always have some sorta third person to stand infront of them.

EJ! Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 i wanna shit on Cody some more if y’all don’t mind. i know the Bucks pretty much said the rumors of beef between The Elite and Cody are false, but you can tell there’s merit to it when you watch the show. Omega/Jericho/Bucks and Cody clearly have different visions for what the show should be. Cody has main character syndrome. someone on Twitter made the joke that Cody basically has Wrestlemania entrances just to come out and cut a promo. the gender reveal…congrats to them but get the *Censored* outta here with that shit. nobody else on the roster would get a segment like that. he presents everything he does like it’s the main event of the show and yes, everybody should believe in what they’re doing on the show but it’s different when you have actual power and control. Cody has basically carved a separate show within Dynamite where he’s the lead, the protagonist, the main character and we’re watching HIS story unfold. every feud is more about him than it is about two dudes feuding. everyone else feels like a supporting character at best. overall, i don’t hate Cody. i remember being a big fan of him, but giving him power was a mistake. say what you want about the rest of the EVPs but at least they blend in with the rest of the show. they feel like wrestlers and characters just like everyone else. Cody feels like an EVP before anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. They've gotten themselves over by essentially aligning themselves with the more over wrestlers and resorting to stupid superkick parties and pandering to the niche mark fans and dirtsheets. They're not believable as actual wrestlers, they never have been... it is like they're 'playing' wrestler. Absolutely nothing they do feels genuine and it comes across hokey and self indulgent. Their matches make little to no sense and for being the worlds greatest tag team they seem to have no understanding of the rules of the division they're apparently the masters of! They got themselves over at the expense of the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ! Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 this is stupid but i wish the Butcher sounded like Wallace Shawn when he spoke. i feel like his look and that voice go perfectly together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy. Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I thought he could’ve been a really cool character til he started to grow his hair more and got new gear and then aligning himself with all these different factions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Yeah. His voice doesn’t match the aesthetic. Like I would expect a deep, gravelly voice but his is this clean, polite-sounding voice. It doesn’t work and maybe partly why he doesn’t talk much. I’m also not a fan of his new look either.

Austin3035 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Aw needs a unique match it's going to be like money in the bank but they use a triple cage and they had to come to the top of the cage called the I don't know if they're allowed to use King of the mountain match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennsoe Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I read somewhere that fans are turning sour on Jericho since it's been know that his wife was a part of the storming of the capitol and that he has donated money to Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennsoe Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Also when he implaided that he'll blackball wwe "girls" if they'll try to join aew got eyebrows raising He said There are a couple of girls in WWE who said certain things and they probably shouldn't have said them. They probably didn't train them better, and in six months they'll surely be asking us for work and I'll remember that, so let's just leave it there.

EJ! Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Jericho’s bumps probably offend Shotzi because she’s clearly ready to die every match. can count how many times she almost killed herself on a dive. but yeah there is entirely too much insecurity shown within this company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oresama Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 AEW overdoes it with themed episodes of Dynamite. I had thought that it was because of the pandemic, they're in same arena with few (if any) fans so they want to have something to make the shows stand out etc. but now they're going on the road again and have a month of them coming up. It's too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 It’s cheap marketing and hotshotting. Both promotions do it too much. They gotta rely on gimmicky events to draw attention which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bored with Jericho because his actual work is sloppy and uninspired. The political stuff definitely doesn't help matters. Chris will always be one of my favorite wrestlers from a historical perspective. And plenty of my favorite moments are Jericho moments. But, I did stop listening to 'Talk is Jericho' because of his political views. And his willingness to use his platform as a voice for certain conspiracy theories bothers the hell out of me (even if he claims to not outwardly believe them). At the end of the day, the work he's doing is not of a caliber that forces me to overlook some of the other things he's saying and doing. Which is a shame. I don't hate the guy. I'm not "boycotting" him. But...he could leave AEW tomorrow, and I wouldn't miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 That's about my stance on Jericho too. He's genuinely one of my all time favorites, and when he's at his best he's untouchable. But he hasn't really been at his best for a while. His choice to go for more of a brawler/heavyweight look slowed him down so damn much (I mean, his too obviously, but he put on weight and that was a bad move). And the Inner Circle has run its course, so it feels like a bit of a drag still seeing them every week. I'd even go so far as to say if Jericho goes solo egomaniac again and actually catches on fire, I'd want to see him end his career as AEW Champion, run a "When I lose the title, my career is over, so get ready for a never ending title reign!" type gimmick. But I'd want him in the best shape possible for that. His political views are shit, but he also doesn't feel super passionate about them? More like his wife is nutso and he's along for the ride. Maybe that's just what I want to believe, but he kinda strikes me as someone who's very surface level politically. Then again, I can't say I looked too far into them.
