I'm not usually as critical as David Shoemaker's Grantland stuff as others on here, but Jesus is his article today a flying nothing. "WWE needs to make more stars. Here is a list of dudes." The vapid content wouldn't be so bad if the writing wasn't also really bad and dumb:

re: Cesaro:

quote:

He’s a darling of the wrestling Internet, and his popularity has been spreading over the past year. WWE seems to have found the right track for him — sort of a low-key variation on the Reigns rehabilitation campaign, in which Cesaro wrestles in good showcase matches and inches up the ladder at a pace steady enough to quiet WWE’s crankiest fans.

Kevin Owens:

quote:

But I don’t want to underestimate Owens. Hell, at the rate he’s selling T-shirts and making squash matches watchable, he could be the new Hulk Hogan.

CM Punk:

quote:

I’m totally kidding. Punk’s not coming back. But that you didn’t just close your browser window proves my point.

Dean Ambrose:

quote:

there’s no denying that Ambrose possesses a rare quality [Reigns and Rollins] both lack: pure star power. Although Ambrose seems listless at times in his midcard feuds, his move set borders on corny, and some of his promos lean on prop comedy to an unsettling degree, there’s no denying that when he’s standing alone in the ring with a microphone and real purpose, Ambrose captivates the crowd with an Austin/Rock level of charisma.

I mean, what even is this??

Me reading your posts

He's attempting to pander to everyone who calls him out for being bad and incorrect but also not sure how to write anything that isn't just "Triple H is great, I liked it when he bodyslammed Andre the Giant in front of 160,000 North Koreans"

Oh I know, but it takes it to a whole other level to have him screaming about having the power, a reference to a show that....well, since TNA's demographic is well above 50 years old, probably a good amount of their audience will get, actually.

It sounds stupid in a vacuum, but there is no way I wouldn't mark out for a wrestler riding an armored tiger to the ring.

Also I just learned there is a He-Man movie in the works so it might actually be topical.
