Jim Cornette doesn't like Apollo's new gimmick

[DANJ!]

They rebranded a dude that had a major championship like 4 months ago?

He needed that shyt, breh... he was bland and generic the last 5 years he's been there, including when he had the US title last year.

He got a spear , McIntyre has a stupid sword too

This is actually what happened on TV... he literally said things similar to this in his promos... he said that he is a real Nigerian and that in this country, all of those things were made fun of so he tried to be like Americans. But his family is from royalty which makes him greater than us.

The name change is a thing that needs to happen tho'. It definitely doesn't make sense to make the transition and not also transition his Americanized name as well. Apollo Uhaa sounds dope.

I'll have to go back to the promo. I remember the Nigerian royalty bit and being a real African American, but don't recall the part about trying to be American. That's good, basic face to heel shyt.

Even with his accent, I thought he said something like he wanted to pay tribute to his grandfather using the voice versus it being his real voice and finally being who he really is or something.

There were two promos... the first one is the one you're referring to. There was another one I believe the following week. I'm actually surprised he's gotten the time to speak that he has... between the show and on Talking Smack, he's just now become an interesting character IMO. His nonverbal/generic promo/flippy guy shyt wasn't gettin' him anywhere.

The accent is horrible, and where does he go after this gimmick?

Good shyt.

Just checked for it and saw that. I always ignored it on youtube because I thought it was just a challenge for the belt, not more origin story.

Much better knowing they explained it, although I still think it would have been more impactful in the first one.

I love how ppl call Jim Cornette a racist but ignore him constantly putting over The Hurt Business, Bianca Belair, Private Party, Scorpio Sky.

He completely shytted on Bianca winning the Rumble, and said it should've been Charlotte or Rhea.

Wow I’m shocked they gave this guy a spear and a fake accent. I thought they had big things planned for him after ripping his name directly from Apollo Creed and Terry Crews...

I know me posting in this thread alone contradicts what im about to say but I need to say it so fukk it

Can we please stop making threads on this dudes opinion and generating traffic to his videos? Yeah hes said some funny things about AEW and WWE once before but even a broken clock is right twice a day, he's a blatantly racist weirdo cuck and im sure there are other outlets of non-racists discussing these same topics

Everyone in wrestling is racist. If you did what you typed you'd have to quit watching the whole thing.
