His offense makes no sense. He has absolutely no charisma. He can't cut a promo. His only appeal is his steroidal look. I honestly don't even know how he's made it as far as he has.

he was crack in Lucha Underground, but that's only because he had more 100% pure vanilla extract midgets to bounce off of him.

it's like how some folks were huge in Japan but they kinda lukewarm in the US.

Its cause they were huge (size/pause) in Japan.

Punk needs to bulk up to his 2011-2013 look. He look mad flimsy nowadays. He had a decent main event look back then.

Just watched this before tuning into Fury/Wilder...

Am I the only person that just doesn't see it with Daniel Garcia? He's good, and he had a good match with Punk (who seems to be getting more comfortable in the ring with every match), but he still kind of screams "jobber" to me. 2.0 as well, I almost see the three of them as a platoon of George South types, for those who remember their 80s era jobbers. Now, everyone loved George South and wanted to work with him, but he was also definitely not a star. Garcia, for all of his good attributes as a wrestler, isn't someone who I can see rising above this level. Nothing about his look (goddamn does he need to gain some weight), his demeanor, work, facials, etc. really shows any star quality. Hell, his offense is even kind of jobberish, what with the complete lack of impact or intrigue to it. He's a great canvas for other wrestlers to work on (which is why people seem to love working with him but not put him over in the ring), but no more. I've seen him in matches with Lee Moriarty and wondered why Moriarty wasn't going over on a skill vs. skill and potential star power vs. potential star power level, and seen him in a match with John Silver where Silver outshone him. If someone can help me see what others see in him, I'm all ears.

Jade still sucks, and is still beautiful. She absolutely needs to stop doing that pump kick, it's pure trash. I really hope they don't put the TBS belt on her yet, she's at least 2 years away from being good. At least she looks like a star and acts like a star, though.

Skye Blue is also still super green and very good looking, but at least I don't watch her matches thinking she's going to botch one of her key moves or fukk up a basic stomp. She could really be something once she gets some more experience.

Good show, but they have to do something to make Rampage seem more important. They're trying with matches, but I need to see some more important angles and the like on the show. I get the sense that the rating's going to keep slipping bit by bit without that quality.
