Days of Our Lives has been running a storyline about the devil possessing various people for at least 6 months. So the tradition of wacky wack in soaps is alive and well.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Athena has a ton of physical charisma, what the gently caress?

You're right but these people judge like Kylo in that "oh great another boring indie wrestler" and ignore that charisma isn't just talking. loving Shinsuke Nakamura was the most charismatic wrestler on the planet and we never had to hear him say a word.

turn it all around

Athena has always been a pretty boring and wooden promo, but she's insane in the ring. So maybe you just don't have that person rely on cutting bad promos and just let them shine in the ring, who knows!

here come the planes
she also doesn't really need one given her post wwe indie work imo, she just was given garbage to work with before

the point is really that she isn't a 'charisma black hole' or whatever and it sucks to see people repeating it as if it's an agreed upon truth

Athena has no charisma is the new Bryan Danielson can't cut a promo.

It was. But much like WWE's main eventers he's back from the 90s to be the star of the show! He can't leave that poor Marlena alone!

Same. Stefano fit really well with my emerging discovery of comic books and wrestling.

Athena was and is very fun to watch in the ring. She was also a surprisingly bad promo (this might have changed) considering her two gimmicks were Goddess of War and Vampire Werewolf Or Something Who Knows.

I would expect someone with those gimmicks to have a really bombastic persona on the mic. She didn't, but she still did sick poo poo in the ring so whatever just don't have her cut promos or have her work on them.

Me, a genius: Big surprise, they're ruining Hook. Probably because Jim likes him. Everyone is booking based on Jim.

This is all building to DoN 2025 when things truly become "Double or Nothing" as the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes attempts to make his way back into AEW by challenging President Tony Khan for control of the book in a high stakes Pencil on a Pole match. If Cody loses, he has vowed to never step foot in AEW again. </excaliburvoice>
