I've been checking out a bunch of sites through the years and this is the first time I stumbled on Stevie Richards' YouTube channel.
AND I LIKE IT!
Actually, this is one of the topics I love and cringe at because it has to do with AEW.
I am NOT a fan of the show because not only am I a WWE guy, but I am also a storyline guy.
The thing I hate about this organization is its episodics. Yes, the weekly episodes of Rampage and even Collision during the CM Punk days are PPV quality as compared to the boring WWE matches.
HOWEVER, THAT IS THE THING THAT MAKES WWE BETTER THAN AEW!
Tony Khan wasted a lot of feuds because of his constant dream matches. He also made a lot of disappointing WWE stars even more disappointing. While Adam Cole and Roderick Strong are booked better now, Miro, Andrade El Idolo, FTR, Malakai Black, and even Claudio Castignoli should be better now. He did a lot of bad things to Matt and Jeff Hardy they were transformed from legendary tag team main event players to nostalgia jobbers.
Without question, MJF is doing well as the main man of the promotion although they need to take out Kenny Omega from his neverending loop of Death Triangle and Don Callis-related matches. How about putting him with Darby Allin? When was the last time he fought against Miro? Maybe it's a good idea for him to face Samoa Joe!
Also, they let Hardy, Sting, and Bryan Danielson bounce around as if they are young and non-surgically repaired!
WHY IS JON MOXLEY BLEEDING A LOT?!?
Anyway, Stevie Richards has this thing of breaking down a move and why is it bad for a wrestler's career?
Yes, he does.
When he was wrestling, I loved his Stevie Night Heat persona. Yes, this is the C show but seeing him mat-wrestle is like cool. If he's not going to be with The Blue Meanie or Nova, The Right to Censor, or Raven, then the next best thing for him is to have him do wrestling for 10 minutes against the random midcard guy that has no current storylines on Raw during that period.
So yeah, he knows what he's talking about when he says that this move - and everyone who participated in this move - is stupid.
