what gon sell? what gon sell?

Even Eli knows what that means! Mo money! Mo money!
 
Yeah, he has always seemed like a really smart and genuine guy every time I've seen him in interviews where he doesn't have to shill for WWE.

i know its fun to hate the New Day gimmick, but damn if i don't enjoy every time they are on my screen.

It is amazing too that Dan is basically living his childhood fantasy. Talking about games to wrestlers. Are we living in Dan's Dream?

Sometimes I wonder if we're all just living inside Dan's version of the Matrix.

Speaking of Xavier, one of my favourite moments from last night's show was Pope talking about his favourite dumb things about E3, and listing "all the D-list celebrities that come" and then slowly looking towards Xavier without saying anything. His mock outrage at that comment made me laugh.

That and then Xavier suddenly talking out of nowhere about the Nier dude hahaha. Amazing.

He has a Masters degree and is working on his PhD right now. He's a smart guy. There was an E60 (ESPN) documentary following him and a couple of other NXT guys that was really great.
 
Xavier Woods just makes me feel like a lazy asshole.

1. Professional wrestler for WWE - One of the busiest, most demanding jobs you can have. Especially when you're on TV twice a week like he is and house shows in between.

2. Grad student - Massive amount of reading and writing to do.

3. Avid gamer - How your hobby is anything but sleeping with all this on your plate is beyond me.

4. Youtuber - So now aside from being a wrestler and doing promotion for that he's doing a side project and actively promoting that as well.

So he's a constantly traveling grad student youtuber who spends most evenings getting suplexed and clotheslined.

Meanwhile I say things like "Look, I'm not gonna mow the lawn AND clean the gutters today! I'm not a fucking robot!"

He's not a normal human. If he was he'd at least be super ugly but he's got looks and personality going for him too.
 
Dan is issuing an open Mario Kart Challenge to Xavier Woods

Solid promo from Dan.

If I were to critique, just a tad too quick to pontificate without first introducing himself to the audience. If this is going to be a big money feud that puts asses in the seats, you're going to need to first establish the 'who' of the equation (e.g. 'my name is Paul Heyman...'), to engage the millennial audience and those among the WWE Universe who may not be familiar with your character.

I also have to shave a few points for gimmick infringement. Greener than gooseshit?

We all love us some Stone Cold podcast, but I'm gonna need you to snug that up for me just a cunt hair. Well you don't gotta get hot about it.

That all said, it's now up to Xavier to establish a time and date to make it a money angle. Dan has done his part, save for ultimately throwing the race to establish the rubber match.
 
I would like to see another GB duder thrown onto the couch more often as a supporting cast member during these E3 Live segments. Don't think every segment needs this of course, but I think Brad during the Luke Smith segment is the only time someone besides Jeff has shown up?

This year definitely lacks the manic energy of years past.

But it also hasn't had any painful guests
mikey
. But this year could use a greg miller moment
 
Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I'm still catching up on coverage but shit is fantastic so far. I think it'd just be cool to see, say, Dan or Austin get more couch time interacting with the guests.

They seem to be going for more of a personal setting this time. last year when I first started paying attention, I think they had like 2-3 GBers at the table with 4 guests?
