Again, wrestling has been taken over by marks and casuals.

There's no middle ground because muh'fukkas will pay to watch the same shyt over and over.

AEW and WWE.

A match goes on long enough = THIS. IS. AWESOME.

We still ruining great promos with "What?!"

We see litterally the same interaction between two parties (whether a match or promo or run-in) week after week with no payoff and fans will cheer like it's the first time they seen it.

:yeshrug:it's not going away. Just feed the crowd what they are eating, even if it's M&M's and cotton candy.

This series shows exactly why Stevie was no more than a jobber.
Dude is just a hogun mark who looked like hbk and a mark.

There definitely is something to that O.G.

For a man who has all the answers he was never able to manifest that into any measure of success of his own

This is one of the big reasons Goontah is the best rn; goes in with a straightforward, effective gameplan and rotates a few time-tested moves to get the W based off the context of the match

Beating Big Randall w/a sleeper hold was exquisite ring psychology :wow:

Let's listen to Hulk Hogan talk about the business, then :mjlol:

Wrestling is a work and everybody gets paid, win or loss.

Champions don't work "harder" or are "better" at their job. They get booked.

I agree about the work a harder bit, but you could have given Ricochet or fukk Seth Rollins every chance Roman got, and it would not have been as successful. Is that being better? Is that unquantifiable? It's an interesting question.

My point is; Wrestling success is largely a work.

Let's look at it another way; Roman got half a decade to "get it right," if his least was as short as other guys, he wouldn't get to Tribal Chief status.

This could be a whole spinoff thread.
Stevie Richards' job was never to be Michael Jordan, he was paid to play the Craig Hodges role. He wasn't the star of the show, but his job was to be a support guy. In that lens, he had a successful career, and he had decent runs in all of the major American companies.
He never headlined WrestleMania, but his jersey might still belong in the rafters.

Once you saw his attitude to being back stage and being an hbk mark.

That he even self admitted to hbk playing him like a goof.

Instead of Clowning.
that broken cookie monster doll eyeball face ass hbk.

Plus show he still shows no objectivity.
to anything clique related.
When real talk..
If it was not just a paycheck to him.

He could have pandered to the clique.
Yet when it comes time to be their level of a$$hole he re-nig'd and would not fight for himself.
On top of sounding like a silver spoon.
who never paid for any of that clique content. To be objective about how trash it was.

Not to mention act oblivious.
to why hogun was even fukkin popular was from Mr t and the racial dialectic.
Not to mention the attitude era was a revisit of the same dynamic using tyson in place of Mr t.

Once he showed his hand and no actual objectivity about the clique.

It exposed this show.
as just playing the role.
till no one was fooled.


I am not fooled now.

Plus know why his actual in ring work was trash and neutered too.


When I give props to guys like Tim zenk.
Yet Richard's was not even zenk level good ever.

I would rather rhett Titus come on and I hate Rhett Titus.
Just liie Roderick strong and the other hbk doppelganger trash Adam Cole and the Undisputed.

Had a chance to separate himself.
from the disco inferno goof like talent rung he put himself on purpose.
Yet was too clique mark-ish to really stand up for himself.
Plus neutered his trajectory inring by staying an hbk mark. Even after he dissed him.

Then is demonstrative to workrate.

Like people are going to enjoying paying money for hogun level workrate.

Plus never mention superstar billy graham as well. When bully graham is a culture thief based act like the white James brown from the blues brothers.

Like real talk.

What self respecting guy self books themselves to look how him and meanie looked too.

fukk Stevie richards.
