Hahaha

so ESPN put that CM Punk under WWE. Mind you, they don't have a regular professional wrestling section.

Why would WWE allow that? Food for thought.

Fucking dying right now

Sorry...but this is middling at best. I guess the fans like it? But good god the fans are deprived of stellar promo work.

The hyperbole of the tweets aside, I thought it was a really good little “nothing” promo. Always been a fan.

I dunno he kinda sucks lol

It's not the subject matter of the promos he cuts that people like, it's the confidence and swagger in which he cuts them.

Did I say it was the subject matter, Helmsphere? I don't like his delivery and his confidence/swagger is stilted as fuck.

But thanks for clarifying.

I think Eli Knight is the best thing since sliced bread. YEAAAAAAAH!

Is 2000s Rock the one where he was face for awhile and was really kinda boring/generic but charismatic at the same time? Cause that comparison seems spot on with that clip... seems like LA was pretty much doing a Rock impression with his delivery/speech pattern.

I've only seen little of LA Knight. He seems good but doesn't seem like he won't be a main eventer. He's pretty much Mr. Kennedy of the 2020. He checks alot of boxes and it may be fun to think okay he will be a star.

Oh, he’s 100% just doing a Rock impression. But he owns it and doesn’t come off awkward or cringe. So it works for me.

Lies Jillian Hall was the best thing since sliced bread.

She even had a slice of bread permanently attached to her face at one point of time.

And two whole loafs of bread for a chest.

LA Knight won me over for a bit with his NWA work and some of what I’ve seen in WWE. But that was back to the guy trying to cosplay as Rock. WWE crowds seem “vanilla.” I guess that is considered a good reaction? It only impressed me when they did the singalong at the end. They’re singalong crowds.

Logan Paul is excellent in that clip though. He’s “in” every moment. Biggest star in the match.

I only watch WWE for Gunther.

This is what WWE wanted with the homogenizing of everything. Easier to "program the masses" and get them to do what you want when you take away most of the unique stuff.


I still miss the unique sets of PPV's :(

You’d brainwash more people if you had a larger audience. People are still captivated by wrestling when it was good. Just make it good.

Watching Curt Hennig wrestle is just soothing.

I miss Curtis Axel.

Before I stopped watching, the last big pop that I remember a crowd delivering was when AJ Styles debuted at the Royal Rumble. For one, it was a pretty big surprise, but on top of that, it was different. You had this one motherfucker who'd never been in a WWE in any major capacity getting a better reaction than anybody else on the roster at the time, certainly bigger than the Golden Boy they were trying to push. It was a sign of the times and of the power of the soul sucking machine that is WWE "creative".

The crowd cheers him so I guess it works for what it is, but I'd argue that it's highly cringy and he comes across as the Wish version of Rock. Clearly he's got some talent but maybe he should use it to not be a knockoff.

Don't get me wrong, I get some gimmicks are stolen, but it's usually done in a way where the guy makes it his own. That promo was not that.

His cadence definitely reminds me of the rock's but I don't really mind as the content of the promo is entertaining enough.

He is speaking voice sounds like The Rock, he can’t get away from that. Doesn’t mean he needs to lean in it though either.

And WWE production did such a good job capturing it :lol:

Same as Edge's 2020 Royal Rumble return, Maggle!

Had no idea this happened
