In The Midst Of The AEW/Impact Stuff, The WWE Remains Archaic With The Way They Debuted The Rascalz

[MenacingMonk]

What does AEW/Impact have to do with any of this?

And of course MAGA marks gotta discuss their favorite fed they love to hate and watch from afar.

theyre not unknowns.

WWE casuals generally dont watch NXT like that. most NXT viewers know of them, and the WWE knows that, which is why they subliminally hyped them up as a big surprise.

then when they get out there, they start talking that "unknown" chit.
then they turn around and put that "we're finally here" type video out, where more effort was put into subliminally downplaying the indies(and "indies") rather than time spent on actually putting the rascalz over. ember moon put them over, but also hit all the WWE talking points like "they dont have to take indie scraps anymore" or whatever.

Like I said though, it ain't about putting them over to people who already know who they are. The announcers are there to try & get them over as big deals to the people who haven't seen them & know nothing about them. NXT/AEW are both the weird middle ground of trying to appeal to both (AEW less so since they pretend everyone should just know whoever shows up) in the current wrestling world.

ain't those dudes some all lives matter weirdos

It’s actually the one Rascal that didn’t sign with NXT (Trey?)

 

[ADK]

Breh really named himself Wes Lee

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

It is a bit schizophrenic in the sense that they want you to be excited the debut because you know who they are and how good they can be but then the new names is some :/

Seems like they go back and forth on this, but with guys now having a viable place to go, I bet we never see dudes get to use their previous names anymore unless they're direct to the main roster types.

Who tf is a rascal?

Listen, If they're worthy they'll thrive in the WWE

If not they'll go back to indie obscurity

Thats the way it is, the way its always been, the way it'll always be.

Why do dudes act like anything outside of the WWE is the indies?

Weird to me they signed with WWE instead of AEW for multiple reasons


1. WWE doesn't give a fukk about tag teams, and with 205, these dudes are going to get relegated there within a couple of months were they to be split up

2. AEW's tag team booking isn't really much better than WWE's, but their presentation of tag teams is so much better even for low card teams

3. The Excalibur/PWG pipeline

I think they passed on AEW because their tag team scene might be a little crowded at the moment.

Until they get a second show (not Dark), i agree

 

[Hey_zeus]

They named my man Wes Lee. Wtf

 

[John Reena]

AEW stans acting like this AEW/Impact is some historic big deal.



Nobody care bout The Rascals/MSK

 

[MightyHealthy]

And they ain't weed heads no more either. They're just going to be some lame 205 live jerks within the year.

You mean MSK doesn't stand for Marijuana Smoking Kids?

Nope, it stands for McGruff Safe Kids

Interesting that two of them signed without the third.
