But that's the thing tho, cuh. I think that works for Dunne, on some level. Dude dresses to the goddamned nines looking like a Peaky Blinders nikka in backstage stuff, and that plus the accent and his style makes him come off as some grimy, do-whatever-to-hurt-you type, and that kind of dangerousness can be sold no matter the size of the dude. I know dudes that couldn't hit 5'8 standing on the bottom step who are just bitter, nasty fukkers who would just as soon take a punch to the face if it let them get close enough to dig a finger into your eyesocket.I feel bad for Pete Dunne. He basically Taznall over again....
Great gimmick, looks cool as fukk, perfect wrestler aesthetic in aura and from a headshot...
...then you realize he's tiny with no kind of athletic shape.
Cole ain't got that and never will. No amount of character change, or backstage segments or anything could give him that look, either. Dunne just seem like a bruh who gives no fukks about if you're bigger than him, if you piss him off, he's knocking back his pint, taking off his scarf, and waiting for your bytch ass outside the pub, no questions.
It's why I wish they'd just do more stuff of him stunting on bytches in his crazy outfits, hair pulled back, looking halfway between bored and disgusted. Because dude is as close to a wrestling offspring of Daniel Bryan and William Regal as humanly goddamned possible, down to his default face being 'disdain'.
I want good things for Dunne. Which makes me sad because there's a logjam on NXT for that top title, and I want Ciampa to have it, but Dunne would be a badass champion.
Hell, give bruh that NA title, let him rock his burgundy shyt, and eventually have him point out how funny an Englishman being NA champ is. (Doubly funny since Dunne's real last name is literally England. He's English as fukk)
