[7/7] Impact Wrestling: Slammiversary Thread (8pm EST)

[Coco Brown]

It's weird to see how things turned out for Miz and Morrison. Johnny's done well for himself but I remember when a lot of people felt like he was the future "star" of that duo and Miz was never gonna peak any further than being Johnny's sidekick. I don’t think a lot of people saw them ending up in the positions they're in.

i bet you were dancin on the ceiling after you type this.

My big ass would end up fukking myself up if I tried that

 

[TrueEpic08]

Su ain't that bad

she definitely ain't a ring technician but she works within her gimmick well and is willing to take extreme bumps

The gimmick is good, but I've never in my life seen anything even approximating a good Su Yung match.

Sick Nick Mondo took extreme bumps too; nobody ever called him a good wrestler.

WWE foolishly tried to make Johnny a babyface where he was corny as hell with all dem "Mr. Ziggles" lines Meanwhile Miz grabbed the heel blueprints that Johnny should have followed and ended up with a Hall of Fame career, fine ass wife, a main event spot at WrestleMania and hit USA reality show

 

[TrueEpic08]

Waste of a legitimately creative spot there.

Should've been the finish to a bullshyt win instead of a limp intro to a heat segment.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Has any other homegrown WWE star had a better post-WWE career after Morrison/Nitro/Impact?

Does Cody count? And probably Moxley depending on what happens to him in the next couple of years

Good question. The only other person I can think of that positioned themselves well enough to majorly capitalize off their WWE experience and brand is Cody. If AEW is a success, love him or hate him, everyone is gonna have to give him his props.

Yeah Cody does. Moxley is a weird situation because he spent 7 years on the indies but I don't remember hearing about him until the Foley promos.

this dude put himself into position

I remember seeing a young Mox in CZW cutting weird ass Raven-ish promos

I never thought he would ever become WWE Champion but that cocaine money was enough for Vince to make that wise decision

I definitely feel like WWE fumbled the ball with his character. It was cringy to watch.

Babyface Morrison cuts shytty promos.... heel scumbag Morrison cuts good promos, that's why his title run in Lucha Underground was awesome. They should have just kept him how he was when he was doing his "Miz & Morrison Dirt Sheet" show

 

[TrueEpic08]

Oh my god, I think we may have found a dumber spot than the superplex/falcon arrow nonsense.

Yeah Cody does. Moxley is a weird situation because he spent 7 years on the indies but I don't remember hearing about him until the Foley promos.

Mox definitely had some notoriety on the indies before he got signed. He just wasn't in ROH or PWG (made his name in CZW, became know on a national level in DGUSA and Evolve).

Was this before or after Ziggler was with her?
