I mean, what do you want? Cause its not like the 2000's didn't have their fair share of unrealistic gimmicks. Are you looking for it to be more real sports grounded like new japan?

I’ve always found the Dexter Lumis stuff to be largely shit. It’s not necessarily a knock on the guy, but the gimmick is just way too much. And the name is a little on-the-nose too. You can be a little more grounded and mature by shedding that extra “there’s no way someone like that could ever exist” vibe.

I didn’t like The Fiend or Braun Strowman either for similar reasons. They’re cheesy as shit.

It doesn't need to be super real. And while 2000 had its moments of silliness (Mae Young hand birth, the culmination of the Autin whodunnit storyline), the meat of it with Chris Kreski at the helm avoided the utter shite.

I think I draw the line at stalker/kidnapping stuff. Like at that point, just have your wrestlers rob banks or sell coke on TV since apparently, they can get away with everything.

But an undead dude can turn into a biker and then back again amirite.


If it were up to you, we'd have Bret the Shitman Shart and Lance Storm as your 10x champs with all the straps and everyone would sleep within the first 5 mins


Sorry, Robb Banks is a taken gimmick in Sudistic Wrasslin. Cannot infringe.

Tbh the taker stuff is why I didn’t watch as much raw as most. Thought he was too silly. Didn’t love American Badass either cuz he was boring.

Can see where you're coming from. I guess I don't care as much as long as its not the main event. Like, the kidnapping stuff with Joe Gacy and Bron Breaker bothered me. This, not so much, since its the undercard and it involves the miz who is a more entertainment based wrestler anyway.
