the way they debuted Dexter on Raw was designed to where if you knew who he was you were like and if you didn't you were supposed to be confused/intrigued because he was in the background getting hauled off by cops. Yeah they name dropped him on commentary but you're supposed to be left wondering what he was doing and who he is to some degree. It's (seemingly) connected to a storyline that just kicked off where you want to find out more.
AEW brings out random Japanese people or indie wrestlers for one off matches versus their champions without any story or build and then you may never see them again. That Mance loser just gets a match against the world champion for seemingly no reason, there was that Japanese chick who wrestled Thunder Rosa and tanked the ratings that week, none of those matches had anything resembling a storyline to justify them.
it's basic story-telling right? show, don't tell.
if you bring someone in, you have to create a story and visuals that will stick with the viewer. bringing in someone in to get jobbed with no introduction or backstory and having excalibur talk about how good they are for 30 seconds doesn't do anything for anyone
Dexter sniffing and stealing Carmella’s panties from the locker room and threatning to kill Corey Graves is good TV.
fukking thank you.
With the Mance Warner shyt, you would've had to watched that battle royal during the Ric Flair show to know how he got the title shot (not necessarily why because why did Tony make that an option?) and him being in a title match against your interim champion still didn't drum up interest like that. They tell us to Google him, I Googled him, I still don't give a fukk. I don't care if this dude shows up again, I'm not tuning in to see what he's gonna do next on AEW television, if he shows up ever again.
Not the Google Analytics
Drag that bytch to Recluse, Wyoming to never be seen or heard from again.Corey has been cleared to wrestle for a bout a year now... have him try to defend his wife and get bodied.
This that good shyt
Possible old entrance theme coming back
