I'm just gonna throw this out there...
I've seen very little of Eli Drake but based on what I have seen... He's WAY more entertaining than most of the TNA/Impact/GFW roster. |

Although, to find truth in your statement, most of the TNA/GFW/Impact roster does probably suck a big one. Most people got a clue that they're better off working for an indy that they can get plucked by the WWE from. Every left are either no-hopers or guys with histories of domestic violence.

He got by on his over-the-top personality. Which is the same vibe I get from Drake to a lesser extent. The guy is comfortable and cocky when he talks in a way that isn't all that common nowadays. I can't see people just kinda not caring for him but for someone to HATE him with such passion, especially considering the boring-as-fuck personalities we get up and down the line in wrestling nowadays, seems... odd.

Actually, it was like he was just trying to be Ric Flair and failing.

Point is, he seems more comfortable than most on the mic. Like... the worst you would expect of a reaction toward the guy is "Meh. Not a fan." Not "I want him to die a slow death." |

I'm actually not game to watch those videos. I believed someone who said he was a good promo, and it was absolutely obnoxious (and not in the good way) catchphrases that didn't mean anything. I can see what you mean about The Rock thing, because I remember thinking that it was like they got this guy who was on this show hosted by The Rock and told him to act like Rock, but he has none of the charisma that makes The Rock The Rock. If he's doing Bobby Roode doing Triple H doing Ric Flair now, more power to him. At least he's not trying to be the most charismatic man on the planet anymore. I mean, I get your appreciation for someone trying, but it's fucking gross. He should try and actually promo to get a point across before he tries and acts like some larger than life personality he can't live up to. I remember him trying to wrestle like The Rock too. It was fucking hilarious. If Abyss is their like Asylum Films parody of Kane, and Eric Young was their Asylum Films parody of Daniel Bryan, then Eli Drake is their Asylum Films parody of The Rock. |

I'm not watching it. I was exposed to an Eli Drake promo once and it scarred me for life. "Dummy! Yeah! Dummy! Yeah!" What the fuck does that even mean? Fuck him. TNA is going down the drain exclusively because of him.

Anyway, that is more anyone has ever talked about Eli Drake in his life, and more than they should. Let's change subject: You know who I wouldn't mind WWE bringing back from that dumpster fire that is TNA? Bobby Lashley. They were pushing him way too hard and there was some resistance to accepting him. But he would no doubt be a lot better now, and have a lot more of an organic personality, surely.
I'd accept Bobby Lashley as my WWE Champion. |

Noid has a secret man crush on Eli Drake and is feigning hatred to try and subside his true feelings.

That's not true at all. If I develop a man crush on someone I will admit it like a man. Eli Drake couldn't pay for my time if I needed the money for a life-saving operation.

I was actually originally going to say "Triple H trying to be Ric Flair" but I just went with "Ric Flair".

Let me talk to ya. Eli Drake is awsome. Has all the confidence that a pro wrestler should. Love those catch phrases and even have his dummy button app.

I admire your moxie, and I'm glad you get enjoyment out of Eli Drake. I don't though. He doesn't get a good reaction out of me. I will go out of my way to avoid whatever show he is on.

More power to you, you're not the only one not watching Impact. I doubt Eli Drake is the reason most people don't watch though. He just commands attention and I think that is one of the best qualities a pro wrestler can have. His catchphrases may be cheap and low brow but its better than alot of scripted stuff I see in WWE every week.

By the way I recommend the Eli Drake Dummy Button app. You get the Dummy Yeah button plus other catchphrases and access to fis social media and merchandise of course. It's .99¢ though but can be very entertaining at times.

Noid is correct. Johnny Ace hasn't been an active competitor in decades.

So after doing some quick reading, turns out GFW legit didn't bother to fix the vulnerability from the first time their Network-like service briefly launched. Until a few hours ago, anyone who put in payment details had their personal info exposed due to the payment system not being secure.
