Y'all ever had wrestlers who got released that everyone else called "fumbles" but you never thought were that good to begin with?

Wyatt and Keith Lee get a pass from me

Wyatt/Fiend: momentum got hauled with that bum ass HIAC match against Seth :snoop: Then his WM rematch against Randy :snoop: No way that should’ve ended the way it did. Then creative issues if you watched the doc

Keith Lee: Health issues in the middle of the Bearcat gimmick. Would’ve probably got scraped like whatever they had Kross doing

Truthfully, I was never much of an Alberto Del Rio fan. He felt like a knockoff mix of Ted DiBiase and Eddie Guerrero, but without their magnetic charisma. The only thing that kept him from being total bush status was Ricardo Rodriguez's presence.
Del Rio was fukking garbage. I still think the nikkas who liked him only did so to be contrarian. His promos were boring, his style was boring, his finisher was boring. Every program that he was a part of was like visual NyQuil. His work in TNA wasn't any better.

The hurt business/syndicate as a group. They been doing that act across different companies, had pushes, title reigns etc. I just don’t see what they can do in aew that’ll be all that different or original. All 3 members are dope but they should try something else in aew


Stop.

You mean the neutered bdc gimmick.

Racism is the only reason the syndicate has failed.
The entire gimmick is neutered.

It is when they were already released and he brought them back just to release them again. It's like he was trying to prove Vince wrong but only proved him right:mjlol:

My comment was about guys in the AEW thread saying Tony Khan dropped the ball on Kamille. I was arguing that she sucks and no magical booking would've made her a star.

I liked Del Rio, but I can admit that he was lacking something. He was never somebody you felt like you had to hear a promo or watch a match from. He was there, he was good enough. He just wasn't that good.

I think that hurt almost all of his feuds because he was never someone the fans fully invested in. His MITB cash in felt a little dry, his title reigns felt a little dry. His best work was at Payback 2013 when him and Ziggler did the double turn, then the segment he had the night after.

I was at the Hell in a Cell PPV when Del Rio came back and won the U.S. belt and the collective confusion in the air was palpable. Matter of fact, I think they put the camera on me briefly while I was in the middle of saying "What the fukk?" to my homeboy.

He's the perfect example of presentation meaning everything. Everything from the music to the announcer and the wealthy latino look was outstanding, but the moment the bell rang it went downhill quick.

I think Del Rio's blinders for me started to fall when he won that Rumble, but the MitB win was kind of the yeah he's not as good as they are presenting him. Can't really say the balls been dropped by anyone but him. Cause every Company he's been in pushes the hell out of him.

Man I thought I was the only one that found Del Rio to be completely trash. The best thing about him was the entrance and ring announcer…everything else was super mid lol. I could never get into his matches, I hated him not as being a good heel but having go away heat. The gimmick would’ve been better suited for another Latino wrestler but I don’t know who could’ve done it at that time.

Del Rio ruining his life and career being a denigrate coke sniffing woman beater saved us from seeing him wrestle for a major company ever again.
