WM33 Bones vs. PPP

 

Can I win best and worst heel? Cause I'll take it.
(The answer is yes, pencil neck)

 

I think sleepy might have you beat. Better modern heel.

 

You guys scared him away with a mere mention of what I'm capable of!

 

Guys, it's 2017 now. Is there even such a thing as true heels and faces????

 

When you consider that it was domo who began this attack on my reputation...makes you think, man

 

Bones is king heel

New Year's Resolution: to brush up more on my indies, finally catch up on Lucha and devote more time to NJPW beyond WK and G1.

 

Good call on both of those. The Darren Young thing might be the rightful worst gimmick because of how much of a push it got.

And Dana botches so many damn matches

 

Darren Young could legit be himself and work as a gimmick. The guy actively promotes equality. Steph said they were going to be more open to LGBT storylines. Its so fucking easy. Once Vince gives up on this, maybe we can actually take a step forward.

 

Vince hasn't already? Hah.

 

i had such a hard time with worst tag teams. I honestly have no problem with any of their gimmicks or abilities, it's just that NONE of them are getting ANYTHING to work with. I admit, I laugh everytime i hear the Shining Stars music come on. I think the Vaudevillains are a fun gimmick. I think it's remarkable at how quickly the WWE gave up on the Ascension. The fashion police thing is fine. R-Truth/Goldust exist to eat pins. The Club should be dominating teams. not a fan of the usos but they're not really hurting anything right now and the heel turn is excellent... and so on....

it's the most stacked roster of tag teams in ages...but the wwe isn't doing jack shit with any of them. This would've been a good year to get these 'jokey teams' over, so then when you bring up the legit 'good teams', they'll have some competition as they climb the ranks.

 

I'll forever be bitter that Breezango are regulated to YouTube clips. Seriously one of the funniest gimmicks in years
