Aleister Black is Overrated

[Larry]

I disagree with 100%. At the very least Sullivan could have did sometging other than fall down like he got hit. Also the positioning could have been on both of them


Tbh we dont know enough to know exactly what went wrong

Problem is the damn thigh slap these new indyrific nikkas are so in love with


He missed the kick by a whole foot, but with the stupid thigh slap, it sounded like he popped him right in the face


So there’s a disconnect.. we hear the kick land but we see it completely miss..

It’s like adding crashing sound effects to 2 cars that completely drive past eachother. Goofy shyt

 

[Ribbs]

He needs to get some non strike moves.

Definitely. A powerslam or something. He's a kendo stick away from being the new age Steve Blackman.

I think he needs to work on his facials, and his mannerisms when there are no moves happening. A great example of the debate in this thread about CM Punk, Punk was excellent at conveying that stuff. With Black it just looks like he's "waiting" to do the next spot. Really takes your immersion away.

Hopefully this conspicuous carry job dims some of the ardor the office has for Lars Sullivan. It was quite obvious who was doing the work.

Yeah, homie has the sterotypical indie deal where he's just trying to get his shyt in. Dude really needs to work on pacing, selling the match itself, and expanding his moveset. He's not that far off from having the full package, though.

Name sounds like a character from game of thrones

Shawn Michaels is the master of the thigh slap... you blatantly see dudes slapping their thigh... to this day HBK cannot be seen on camera slapping his thigh during sweet chin music

Once bobby fish is off injury adam cole drops the north American title so roddy can win it then adam cole takes out black..... undisputed baybay

 

[Cartier Murphy]

He’s not bad to me, but as far as the guy who carries a show, I don’t see it. He’s got no persona or personality beyond grim faced death metal guy/pseudo satanist. That’s alright even in an upper mid card capacity, but on top of the card, I don’t think it’s sufficient.


Of course I also would rather see Ricochet in that spot so I’m biased.

 

[TL15]

I think dude is a decent change of pace. Every wrestler can't be and shouldn't be the same.

We criticize the product for being stale and then when there are differences we criticize that too. I like it. It's a change of pace from the "Indy darling with all of the flippy moves" and "big guy" tropes that are all over wrestling today. Dude looks like a legit striker and just like "The SC stunner" or "RKO" can be hit outta nowhere...he carries himself like one of his kicks can end the match at any given moment. He's got a different kind of charisma. I like what I've seen so far

 

[The Great One]

I'm watching this Takeover match and this guy is just not as good as people think he is.

Andrade is carrying this match.

Dream carried their last feud.

This guy is just not interesting enough and his ring skills while good are not amazing or anything.

He ain't doing shyt on the main roster either

Been like a year. This guy is a fun vacuum. He comes on tv and sucks the energy out of arenas and in my living room.

 

[Homer Simpson]

another swing and a miss for the cac smarks

 

[The Ruler 09]

He's very good.

 

[NoMorePie]

I like him. It's so stupid how they had him wrestle a local competitor when hes already faced (and beaten) cesaro and andrade.

And everyone already knows who he is from nxt... they just gonna keep giving him these vignettes until someone pulls a cesaro again and then repeat

 

[jwinfield]

Apparently, having someone give the same promo over and over again in a dark room backstage instead of actually giving them an angle and matches to show off their skills doesn't work
