The Orton puking 5 w 30 / Alexis Bliss giggling with a Jack in The Box is starting to drag. Hopefully this pays off other than Wyatt jobbing at Mania.

I would love for MVP to shout out the Nation of Domination but in a heelish way. They could mention they thought the Godfather was a clown but Kama the ultimate fighting machine was a killer, how Ron Simmons once a World champion became a one word catch phrase joke but Faarooq told uncomfortable truths and built a powerful faction that shook the WWE. They can thank the Rock for congratulating Lashley on the title win but not the t-shirt wearing, pie eating hanging out with Foley Rock but the expensive designer shirt and sun glasses wearing heel that was the best in the business. All of this as a way of bring out Mark Henry and lambaste him for the smiling Sexual Chocolate but wanting to see the rebirth of the Hall of Pain. All of this to reinforce the "we don't want your love WWE universe" vibe the Hurt Business is putting out which will make the fans like them even more. I also heard that Mark wants one last mini run and if he does, I would prefer it as the Hall of Pain monster that got the title not the smiling friendly Sexual Chocolate.
It's...Christian.
When I posted on another forum (an AEW subforum of a Pro Wrestling message board) that I was a bit underwhelmed by this latest AEW signing I was accused, no joke, of being "delusional" and called a "WWE loving idiot" because I thought the "mega, mega star" and "game-changer" hype of Tony Khan was more worthy of say a Cena, a Brock, a Rock, exact, level star with crossover appeal than of Christian (nothing against him but he isn't that type of name inside and especially outside the Pro Wrestling bubble). Seldom have I been so viciously attacked for holding a different opinion (and I used to frequent the political board here which can get pretty heated lol).

"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
He is a good hand (I greatly enjoyed his TNA run when I was much younger) there is no doubt about that but I feel Tony Khan over hyped his appeal especially with lapsed fans and crossover fans. My issue isn't with Christian it is with Tony Khan who has, to a lesser degree, been guilty of overhyping before.

Careful, some around here might accuse you of trying too hard for simply pointing out that toxic AEW fans exist, we can't point out any of the unsavory bits involving that company for some reason. But you're right on that Tony Khan hyped Christian up way too much. I'm a big fan of Christian as a talent, great mind for the business, great talker, wrestler, etc but Tony made it seem like some huge megastar was about to sign with them. Big Show is a bigger star than Christian so I almost feel they should've flipped how they introduced the 2.
Christian should've been the one to have his signing announced on Twitter before officially appearing and Big Sh- I mean, Paul Wight, should've been the one they hyped as debuting on PPV. At the end of the day, because of Tony yet again vastly overhyping something everyone's disappointed. If it wasn't going to be Brock, Cena, Rock, CM Punk or Batista he was better off just not saying anything and just let Christian debut as a surprise like the much bigger star Sting did.
eh, i don't think he has to worry. didn't seem like he put an unusual amount of effort in to me anyways.
maybe i wasn't paying attention but i didn't think they spent all that much time hyping the new signing. can't blame anyone for being disappointed though. i mean it's christian, i didn't give a ****.
