Gavok posted:I recall WWECW having a bit where Zack Ryder saw Rosa Mendes for the first time backstage, then we got to see him fantasizing about them being a couple. I just remembered they did another mirror thing with the Wyatt family at some points. I think they even did one with Daniel Bryan and Kane. Then of course the time Adam Rose did a bit with the mirror from Oculus.

super macho dude posted:Serious question: What are the qualities that Okada possesses that make him one of the biggest and best performers in wrestling today? Like, if you were going to roll him up as a DnD character, what would his perks and skills be? I'm no Okada expert, but when I watch him I just look and think, "This guy is a drat STAR." He's got an aura that tells you he's important and the poo poo he's about to do is important. The closest thing I can think in this moment is a Paladin's auras or the Discipline of Presence from Vampire the Masquerade.

Hedgehog Pie posted:I'm still a bit unclear about his Seven character in WCW due to reading so much conflicting information about it. Was it intended as a legit spooky character along the lines of, say, Bray Wyatt until Turner S&P got involved? Was it always going to end with a worked shoot, or was this something added in by the recently arrived Vince Russo (he might not have even got there yet, I'm confused with my timelines)? Were the promos really supposed to imply that he was a child molester of sorts? And they put so much effort into the debut. With him floating to the ring and all the fire and then... oh... welp never mind.

Something that really stands out to me about WWE and it being garbage is all the wrestlers feel so drat phony. Yes, wrestling is fake, but the WWE talent doesn't feel like they have any kind of swagger or badass attitude. I don't get the impression even they believe in what they're doing.
