Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho all built him into what he is. White wrestling fans will always mark out for a asskicking Cowboy. It's a simple safe formula that they did a good job building through story telling
Hangman being organically over is why I feel a disconnect, not only with wrestling but specifically the fans of today's product. The guys that are organically over with wrestling fans are good or decent enough of the support, but somehow, every wrestler with any vocal support believes that guy should shine with the main titles.
I gravitate towards the Flairs, Rocks, Austins of the world. To continue the trend of my idea of what a champion should be, I grew up idolizing the Bryans and Punks of the world. In recent memory, it was the Okadas and Omegas. These are the type of dudes that create buzz, the type to get the public talking, the type to make it cool to be a wrestling fan, and the type to make groundbreaking moments.
I don't see that with Hangman and never have. Since he's been around the elite these couple of years, he's never grown on me. In my opinion, he's no different than guys like Christian. Specific fans wanted him to be WWE champion and I'm just thinking to myself you guys don't touch titties do you?
WWE never listening to fans is their downfall. I hope AEW always listening to their fans doesn't cause that same effect, as in it becomes too lame. I stated I already have a disconnect with everything now. Because there are a lot of dudes on the roster that can become "organically over" with the fans just like that. But does that mean every wrestler that gets over and has a storyline should be champion? Does every dude deserve a chance to be the guy, and receiving you deserve chants from the crowd?
This long ass post could be summarized through how I saw ROH in its last 5 to 6 years. 9 times outta 10 I asked myself why is this lame fukk the ROH champion?
I thought taking the title off Kenny was a bad decision. Cowboy is a B- player in my eyes but who knows what he could be down the line, I guess.
It's funny how dudes in here are saying Hangman can't cut a promo when this was called one of the best babyface promos in a long time by Jim Cornette of all people...
nikka cut out at that passive aggressive "I'm just asking questions"shyt you pull in every AEW threadWwe Bootlicker
Did I do it right? Too forward? Should I have waited a few posts in to say that?
It’s weird it’s just kinda like aew says this guy is cool and there fans buy it
but as a character he is boring as fukk I have never heard a good promo from him and besides his matches with Kenny I couldn’t tell you one good match he had without an elite member
but I also understand AEW trying to make homegrown stars and pushing him but I feel like his act is gonna be stale quick as champ
