Daniel Garcia Discussed How He Became The MVP Of AEW

[Finn Baller]

Clown shyt breh, these fools actually said prodigy. The only reasoning being he won a prestigious scripted tournament that other talented (And some not so much) wrestlers have won or participated in.

That's where we are now.

If that list was so prestigious, AEW would actually draw a million people a week considering half that list works there now

 

[Brad Piff]

All this talk about him being a prodigy is hilarious

Is he going to somehow grow 3 inches taller or put 40 pounds of muscle on over the next 5 years? Because no matter how many holds he can do, he's still tiny

But he beat DB

 

[Mook]

This whole industry is delusional. These dudes all work the same with the same flips. A whole promotion with no classic promos or storylines and supposedly Daniel garcia the prodigy. Even though the entire arena be dead silent when this bum is on.


Daniel Bryan is a mark and should never be near a book. A guy like him ain't supposed to go down to meet some bum, challengers are supposed to step up to Champs. Now that dweeb got both of them looking mid and no one it help. If he wants to help the lower guys then draw more viewers and money with other top guys

Only 1 person said prodigy

Winning BOLA is no joke. Before AEW, that was the best of the best indie talent with some New Japan guys mixed in. This year it was the best of the best indie talent with Garcia and Wheeler Yuta in there.

Never thought id see a daniel garcia stan

Most Valuable Ennerdainer

If anybody should be an MVP, it's that coke eyed goofball of 2.0, he's got potential to be a fine ennerdainer for years to come.

Don't give 1 fukking shyt about Garcia or the other 2.0 member.

 

[Boondox Black]

Why is this guy getting a push over Ricky Starks?

take a guess

 

[Tanahashi Coates]

Why is this guy getting a push over Ricky Starks?

Terrible comparison. Starks got 3 segments in a row dedicated to him. There's 10 other guys you could've named that aren't being pushed but Starks who got built up to that turn last week through promos and consistently losing? Nah, I disagree.

I’m not familiar with BOLA. Just to be clear, this is also fake and they choose a winner correct?

Dude is a mark.

Yeah, I'm not seeing the correlation in the argument of "well, promoters put him over so they see value in him, therefore his AEW push is justified". That's the kind of logic people would get tomatoes thrown at them if it was another talent in other promotions. The whole point is he's been overpushed. He ain't the first one and he for sure wont be the last one.

 

[Carl Tethers]

Yes pairing him with JAS was a long-term booking decision, putting him with BCC would be maximizing what is the best for him in the short term. Which would be find if he was in his upper 30s or in his 40s, but he's 23. You got to put him in the position where he is forced to improve his weaknesses even if it's not the best thing right now.

If you think someone is going to be a star one day, you do what it takes to get him to that level when you need him to be at that level, not wait until you need him at that level and then realizing he's not able to get the job done. If he's not ever ready to be at that level, then so be it, not everyone works out, but don't put yourself or the talent in the position to fail because you're always chasing the short term gains.

I mean that's kinda the same damn reason why WWE is where it's at now. For years now you've only had like 5 people booked as regular threats for the top title and all five of them are part timers or special appearance type talents in Lesnar, Reigns, Rock, Cena, and Goldberg. And they've built up Lesnar and Reigns to be such huge monsters it's frankly unrealistic for just about anyone to beat them. Like look at Summerslam, it took three fukking people beating up on Lesnar and then piling a bunch of shyt on top of him for Reigns to win a last man standing match. You expect anyone to believe that smaller guys like Riddle, Rhodes, Owens, etc. are going to be able to beat him without help?

They keep chasing the short term numbers like viewers, ratings, merch sales while not focusing on building up a collection of talent to carry and grow the business over the next 10 to 20 years.

Some of y'all acting like him and Yuta won't go the Ospray route and bulk up in the coming years and let's be frank if Garcia had signed for WWE then some of y'all would be singing a different tune, matter of fact wasn't WWE interested in him prior to him joining AEW?
