Ellswoth is a random jobber who sprang out of complete obscurity. I don't think you can even begin to compare him to Yano.

Lapsed Vince describing the divorce storyline with linda is amazing.
Also them describing the food at wwf new York I lost it at "nacho disasters"

Don't get me wrong, I love taking the piss out of that dudes unfortunate face.
He just doesn't need to be where he is. It's needless.
Then again this is WWE - home of Mae Young giving birth to a hand

Why is it needless? WWE doing something besides the same fucking feuds 20 times over doesn't seem needless to me at all.
Mr. No Chin and Two Hands is nowhere near on the level of May Young giving birth to a hand.

Give it time. This is WWE we are talking about.
One is genuinely fun, and the other is another chapter in Vince's deep psychological issues come to life on air.
Right now it's good. There's no reason to hate something because you predict it will be ruined in the future.

Otunga was surprisingly good last night on commentary.

It's more just me hating "15 minutes of internet fame". If this was 20 years ago Ellsworth would have come and gone, but now he turns into a meme and gets extra booking.
at the end of it all I hope the dude is getting paid decently for it all
What's even more egregious is WWE selling shitty shirts for 25 bucks that will be totally irrelevant in 6 months time.
It's more than internet fame, Ellsworth is over. He sells his negative attributes so well that you want him to succeed and when he does something like a superkick it's even more effective.
Didn't they put out an AJ/Jericho shirt the same week they split up?
Gillberg. Zach Gowen. Barry Horowitz.

Hmm, I'll give this a listen during lunch today.

They'll always be funny, though.
That was a good bit
HHH shirts will always be relevant!
My problem is less Ellsworth and more the booking of AJ in this one-sided feud with Dean.
AJ is 100 percent going to retain after all of this. Probably convincingly so.

Dean has been the worst part of the Elsworth stuff, no question. If there's anything to hate on about it, it's him.

They take it too serious. If you want serious, watch the news.
I wasn't paying full attention to SD, why was he allowed at ringside?

Does anybody have the slightest idea what Baron Corbin's character actually is? On this week's Talking Smack he says he's the 1%. So he's rich? That's his gimmick? Rich but a biker? With a negative amount of charisma?
Bryan said he could choose to do something out there other than being the ref. But Dean just said "yes" and walked away with out saying what he was going out for.
Bryan told him he could be anything but a ref. Commentators are usually ringside and not refs.

This is the markiest thing I've read in a while.
Ellsworth was over as fuck, people love underdogs.

people praising the dumb ellsworth storyline and being upset at russo approving tony schiavone's idea of david arquette winning the title is hyporcritical. arquette at least was pinning bischoff who is not a wrestler. At least with that they got mainstream publicity. they get nothing out of ellsworth beating aj styles constantly.

How did the thread react to Ellsworth's promo about his grandkids? I thought it was pretty good tbh

I do like the Ellsworth stuff and I do find it fun. However, if next week is going to go down the way it's going to go down, that just means AJ is going to lose 3 times in a week which may not mean anything but I think they could've had AJ beat Ellsworth clean, continue to massacre Ellsworth and have Dean come in for the save. Perhaps have a tag match next week with Dean and Ellsworth vs AJ and a mystery partner. Something to make next week not so predictable especially when you know AJ's going to lose because who else is there to feud with AJ?
The botch Styles Clash and now this. Man I like Ellsworth and what they are doing with him but stuff like this is going to make it really old really fast if it hasn't already. It's a good thing this wasn't aired.

Why is there no gif of the no chin music? AJ sold it like a million and 2 dollars. Nearly got decapitated and blew my mind that they didn't replay it.

It's amazing to me that Ellsworth took off online, and they just organically kept using him in fun ways
Instead of the usual "SOCIAL MEDIA IS BUZZING ABOUT JAMES ELLSWORTH! HASHTAG ELLSWORTH, HASHTAG JOBBER, HASHTAG LOOK AT WHAT HIS CHIN LOOKS LIKE!!!" and killing it the next week
