Cody's like one more stupid promo away from going full MAGA. I hate his over-the-top acting.
He so desperately wants to be like his dad but just doesn't have the natural charisma that Dusty had.
He comes off too much like someone outta acting school.
Yeah, he's getting too comfortable.
 
Bruh, it's fucking livestock. It would be like me crying over my pet cow dying. LOL
Exactly. There's a reason why pigs, cows, goats, etc are raised for food.

I can understand crying over a dog (or cat) but a pig?

Man, we're having a pig roast that weekend.
 
The "weight" thing seems like a excuse. I Done seen Vince have fatter out there. Vader, Viscera, Mark Henry, Big Show.....shit Kevin Owens ain't then.......

Since when did Vince care about weight?

Vince notoriously does not like bellies.

He makes everybody who doesn't have a flat stomach or abs wear some type of top that covers their stomach. All them guys you named had some type of belly covering top.

That's why Corbin has a top, Omos has a top. Dabba Kato has a whole jacket. Rikishi, Umaga, Yokozuna, they had them high ass belts. Owens already wrestled in a singlet with a shirt, but he probably wouldn't have had a choice anyway.

Kamala might've been like the only one who had his whole belly out, and I think it was because part of his (racist ass) gimmick was that he slapped it for whatever reason.

Otherwise, if they have a stomach, it's like they're told to tuck it in their pants.

Naw I get it. We know Vince like his guys big, strong and white......

I can get cover ups and shit.....but are they really saying Keith Lee ain't been on TV because of his stomach? Because mind you he's built more like a NFL player. He's not even the typical fight guys they've had in the past like Kamala and Viscera and shit. Shit to me he closer to Ahmed Johnson who they pushed the fuck out of then he is Kamala.....I Don't know this shit just seem suspect........

I hate to say it, but Keith Lee just comes off as corny.

He's talented as hell, and can definitely go, but his character sucks. Similar to Ricochet.

Lee's speaking patterns originally seemed to be very "Rock" like, but he just doesn't seem to come off as a believable bad ass big man.

I saw somewhere it was said he sold too much for smaller wrestlers. I can definitely see that.

I'm not exactly sure what he needs to do, but if crowds were in the arenas during shows, I'm not exactly sure he would be selling tickets, given the way he was presented on the main roster.

I've said it before, he sounds like Frasier Crane when he speaks. LOL. Hardly comes off as intimidating.
The overselling for smaller wrestlers is an NXT thing.
It seems like their guys sell the same no matter the size and most of the NXT wrestlers are smaller anyway, so that's probably all he knows.
He should talk less and have a mouthpiece like MVP or someone and just be a big man who can go in the ring and destroys everyone.

I'm in 100% agreement with you. I Didn't mind him in NXT....but man the more I see him on RAW....first off, they shaved his facial hair and clothes...and he talks with this......this like mischievous weaselly type smirk and shit.....It just screams some cac up top coached him.

If they straight up said they didn't like him...fair enough but I Ain't buying this weight shit.

BTW, what you think MVP could do with him? Did wonders for Shelton and Cedric and hell even Lashley....

Nah, I was saying his stomach is why the changed his attire. And WWE losing their in-house producers are why they changed his music.

I don't know why he's off TV right now, tho. I think it's something medical related because I think he disappeared right after he came back from having COVID.

WWE's medical team is questionable. They just kept Charlotte off Wrestlemania because they kept telling her she was pregnant.
 
Oh and a question I know y'all know more about this then me.....is there a particular reason why Finn Balor is on NXT?
Because that's where he belongs.
He was on the main roster, won the universal champion, immediately got hurt, and had to forfeit the title.
Never really got good footing on the main roster after that.
He's a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond.
NXT works better for him.

Balor asked to go back to NXT if I recall correctly. He's another guy who had a shitty character on the main roster. He went from badass with/without demon makeup to smiling all the damn time.

I can't totally blame the writers, part of if not most of the blame should be on the wrestlers themselves.

I honestly blame a lot of this on wrestlers not being able to separate themselves from social media.

It seems to me, the wrestlers who stay in gimmick on socials and elsewhere are the ones who stay on top.

Balor was all smiley faces dressing like Bayley on Twitter and that shit seeped onto his television character.

Wish more talent were like Lesnar, Lashley, Reigns and let their in ring work, or others, do the talking.

Social media killed wrestling more than Vince McMahon has.

He really should have been on 205 Live.

As far as facial hair, I don't think that totally it. Lee was booked to look STRONG as hell a few years ago against Roman Reigns and Co. on The Survivor Series, whereas WALTER was booked like a Chump.
 
Balor didn't work on the main roster because WWE does not know how to book babyfaces anymore.

They give all the babyfaces the same "happy go lucky" ass gimmick and wonder why it doesn't work.

They'll just be backstage walking or whatever, smiling, just happy to be here, then they come across a heel, they trade words and then it just ends with "well, we can settle this in the ring, let's have a match." And that's it.

How are they supposed to make that shit work?

They got Ricochet and Shinsuke feuding over hats. They're literally shoving roses up Drew Gulak's ass. They had Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke just walk away from a match because Nia got angry. Bianca got the shit slapped outta her before WM, and instead of whooping Sasha's ass on sight, she's just like "nope, I'm not gone do it, I'mma wait until WM, look at the sign!"

How are the babyfaces supposed to look cool when they're booked to be either dorky as fuck or a punk ass?

Also remember when Keith went up against Brock in the Rumble. Brock looked excited to lock up with Lee.

See to me I see him as a potential big fish in a big pond...I'd rather watch him feud with Bobby or Reigns then the same shit over and over again they got them doing.

He just seems so undersized against those guys.

He'll always be a mid card guy in WWE. He would need to leave to AEW if he wants to be at the top of the card.

That or inspire a Daniel Bryan/Kofimania like movement where they'll have no choice but to put him at the top of the card.
