Omega almost sold out an ROH show in a few hours by himself the other day.

I have an increasing feeling WWE might offer him something stupid in January.

I can only imagine how relived you must be as New Japan wrestler when the G1 is over and you can finally rest for a bit

Cody gets alot of mileage from his last name.
That plus getting not just the BC rub, but being put out there on most episodes of Being the Elite also boosts him.
Cesaro is great in the pool that is in in right now, but out in the ocean there are many great athletes with boring personalities.

Cody also despite having medicore charisma still has 2-3 times of it than Cesaro

G1 grind is not as bad as the WWE house show grind, that's a G1 that goes all damn year.

Someone on Reddit watched the Gotch shoot and wrote this up regarding the Enzo stuff:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir...on_simon_gotchs_shoot_on_enzo_amore_rf_video/

When the interviewer asks about Enzo and Cass, Gotch says that Cass is a cool guy but calls Enzo ‘an abortion’.

Gotch says that Enzo has a bad habit of ‘editing himself’ where he’ll share an anecdote but omit vital information. One example he shares is how Enzo brags about Triple H scouting Enzo after watching a video of him cutting promos online when in reality, Triple H had been training with a trainer that Enzo knew and convinced the trainer to pass along a video he made to Triple H.

Gotch on Enzo calling himself 'the realest guy in the room': ‘You talk about being the realest guy in the room when you got fake gold, fake Jordans, fake leopard print, fake hair with a fake accent. You pretend to be an Italian when you’re actually German. I guess you are the realest guy in the room because the realest thing about you is being a GUY’.
In addition to comments made about Enzo’s personality, Gotch makes frequent references to Enzo’s incompetence inside the ring. Most of these incidences occur because Enzo pretends to know what he’s doing and goes along with everything that’s suggested with the utmost confidence that he can perform certain moves/bumps. Gotch comments on Enzo’s infamous botch during his match with Cesaro saying that he found out that Enzo thought there was nothing wrong with what he had done.

In regards to Gotch giving Enzo a concussion, he says that Enzo fucked up an easy spot that he had done previously. He says that Enzo ran way too fast towards Gotch and slid too late, making the move unsafe. He says that Enzo was really hyped up that night, which can be seen during his entrance where he accidently drops the microphone. Gotch says after this incident, people were ‘calling for [his] head’ on social media and he seems frustrated that Steve Austin ‘spewed his version’ of the story without knowing the facts and sided with Enzo because they’re friends. Gotch thought that the massive heat they received would be advantageous considering that the Vaudevillians were heels but instead, they ‘jobbed out to Cass’ three consecutive times. Gotch says he didn’t speak with Enzo after all this but he did text Enzo to ask he how was but never received a response.

It crazy to think about how there use to be static cams or no commentary shows for the G1.

There still are a few

 

[SallyIsNow]

I actually liked the static cam shows. Sometimes wouldn't even notice lack of commentary.

 

[TimeEffect]

Someone on Reddit watched the Gotch shoot and wrote this up regarding the Enzo stuff:

Enzo can be released today and nothing of value would be lost. He has no place anywhere on the roster.

 

[serenewarfare]

Who would have thought that the biggest Enzo mark is, in fact, Enzo.

 

[SilentMike03]

If Progress ever does end up on the Network, someone's got their work cut out for them. There is copyrighted music all over these shows.

Edit:

Literally everyone, I think.

I miss the hard cam on the center ring from WWE that they relied on a lot.

I will admit during my time in the 96 re-watch I was shocked to see that even then Dunn was going overboard with the hard cuts and close ups, but it's still superior to now.

Sometime around Chapter 50 they get rid of it

 

[excelsiorlef]

I mean Cesaro is in turn 5-10 times the worker

 

[slightconfuse]

This match is still amazing

 

[Lashley]

Where can I watch G1?

Also, fuck Enzo. So dull.

he'll probably continue to coast along in the wwe thanks solely to his mic skills unfortunately

Nice troll attempt buddy.

Cody sucks.

Literally everyone, I think.

The newer shows (like within the last three or so months) have non-copyrighted music for all the guys, so I imagine they'll just dub them over with the respective act's new music.

Otherwise they'll just find generic stuff. It'll take time, but not too difficult.

 

[Reneledarker]

I will finally go back to doing my thesis...

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nice troll attempt buddy.

Cody sucks.

He does but he's still a better promo than Cesaro and more charismatic.

 

[Pikma]

Please have him take Big Ass with him

 

[Fox318]

Cody has never cut a good promo in his life.

Cesar can cut great promos in 5 different languages when unscripted.

 

[Sinatar]

Nope.

 

[FlammableD]

G1 snip

doing god's work friend hex

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Cody doesn't suck and neither does Cesaro. But if I had to choose one or the other for my money mark promotion, Cesaro is the guy by far.

 

[SallyIsNow]

But Cody does suck.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

But Cody does suck.

Put it this way, he's better than Roman.

 

[serenewarfare]

Cody is like the definition of an average wrestler. He's like wrestling's "Dalton Line". If you are better than Cody, you are probably good. If you are worse than Cody, you are probably bad.

Put it this way, he's better than Roman.

Nah. No way.

 

[Lashley]

Whats with most of the WWE roster having soft stomachs?

 

[Pikma]

Put it this way, he's better than Roman.

Nope, he is definitely not

Cody sucks, but the statement is valid

The Revival

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

He is absolutely not. He's a better technical wrestler, but Roman is a more complete package

 

[serenewarfare]

Whats with most of the WWE roster having soft stomachs?

Might have to do with the fact that their training regimens (what they recommend to guys and what they drill at the PC) has shifted in recent years to focus less on definition and more on functional strength.

He is absolutely not. He's a better technical wrestler, but Roman is a more complete package

I would say he's not even a better technical wrestler. Roman has a number of great matches. Cody has one, maybe two.
