>>
>>19841862

>>
the only thing this man saves is my time when i fast forward through every second he's on camera. ugly ass retard
>>
>>19841862
I wish he would have been out instead of Kevin.
>>
Not really.

Who are the top talents in the company the last 15 years - in ring, on the mic, acting, mind for the business?

Sami, KO, Joe, Bryan.
In fact you can argue Sami is a few points ahead of KO, Joe, and Bryan.
Behind them you have guys like AJ who aren't as good on the mic, and Punk and Cena who aren't as good in the ring. Then the likes of Rollins and moxley.

You guys mark for WWE booking a bit too much

insane selling
makes his opponents look strong every time
can talk
just all around great wrestler.
>>
>>19842088
Yeah but he beard long and he have belly so he no good
>>
Sami is a performative wannabe Mick Foley with none of the talent and just a giant fucking faggot
I should like him for his ability to sell and occasionally have surprisingly good matches but he's just too much of an annoying fag
He has that grating behavior of a fake underdog and it just pisses me off to watch and listen to that sanctimonious phony cunt
>>
>>19842088
>>19842071
sami is fucking terrible and I turn the tv off whenever he is on it
I hate him more than seff or phil
>>
>>19842129
>>19842131
What dont you guys get about WWE creative writing and character development being below a C- consistently for 30 years
>>
>>19842147
Sami is a big boy who's inexplicably over with everyone including management, I can't blame the shitty Netflix writers for him being a fag
In fact his booking is surprisingly good for what he is
There just isn't an ounce of guts or authenticity in anything he says and I don't know why it gets so over like that nonetheless
I'll never get the leftie bum larp gimmick, same shit with Danielson
>>
Sami haters are the type of ninjas to hate on D Bry and Foley
>>
>>19842202
they're fags too, although foley only after wrestling, in the ring foley was based
>>
>>19842202
foley and the manlet suck too
>>19842147
sami as a person fucking sucks. you cannot write anything and make sami good because he's a fucking faggot and a piece of shit
>>
>>19842196
>>19842209
Are you 12?
Sami gets pushed because hes the top talent in the company. Everyone in the back knows that, thats why they trust him with a 20 minute match with Knoxville at mania, or for him to get lashley over, or for him to get other main eventers over, pr for him to give a year of life into a dead Bloodline story.
He carries shit on his back and elevates it, despite God awful booking.

Again, I dont get what you dont understand.
WWE is totally below decent when it comes to story line writing and character development.
How many talented guys have they actively sabotaged and destroyed? How many balls dropped?

You sound like a mark who thinks Roman reigns and Cody Rhodes are exceptional talents.
Why do you think Roman was booed for 10 years then became hot in a few months? They finally gave him mediocre character development and booking.
>>
>>19842202
Foley is god, Sami is shit
That's the thing, Mick is the real fucking deal, his promo and character work are viscerally top tier and he really had to bang himself up to get over and he really was desperate to do it.
Sami meanwhile comes from a completely different time and was an indie darling before WWE. He never had to do half the shit Mick had to, because Mick opened the way for profiles like that. The thing is, Foley having to figure his own shit out and spending years not being over and banging himself up long before ECW for the pops he so desperately craved while obviously being the furthest fucking thing ever from a main eventer and making it all the way to the top nonetheless is what made him sound so real in promos. That's the shit that puts you behind such a unique babyface. That's the shit that REALLY moves crowds.
Sami is the cheap imitation without the real pain, that coasts on the good will for underdogs that Mick Foley created and fostered among wrestling fans by demolishing his own body and screaming his pain. Unironically.
>>
However, the other side of the pendulum is that they shouldn't push him purely due to his talent, he should be over/hot.
Though in fairness they've forced many other guys down our throats.

>>19842249
Well this is really stupid. Do you have any idea how many years Sami put in influencing the best of today, in the indies? Hes one of the god fathers of indie wrestling. He was putting on the most athletic matches you've ever seen with Kenny Omega when you were in diapers
>>
>>19842240
Sami sucks, I don't give a fuck about Roman or Cody either, and I don't care how over he is, he elevates fuck all but is competent and smart enough to not shit the bed and appeal to smarks and the most braindead of marks
>>19842273
Indie wrestling is dogshit and we have quite obviously very different views on what constitutes a good wrestler
Kenny Fagola and his own brand of bullshit can get stuffed too
>>
>>19842240
>Sami gets pushed because hes the top talent in the company
I turn the tv off whenever sami is on. he isn't a top talent. he isn't good. he isn't watchable. he doesn't have it. you cannot make me watch sami zayne. I will skip matches and programs that wrestlers I enjoy like Drew or Chad are in just to avoid sami. he is that much of an anti draw. I would simply stop watching wrestling if the alternative was to watch sami
roman and cawdy both suck too. I don't watch any of their shit. Drew and Logan are the only 2 good main eventers in the WWE

muh moves moves moves moves moves
muh moves are literally the least important thing in wrestling. Hogan v Andre wasn't muh moves. Savage vs Steamboat wasn't muh moves. Roddy vs Bret wasn't about muh moves
>>
>>19842282
Nice Cope.

Keep Crying Anti Smark Russo Mark that WWE keeps sami.

Lmfao.

Indie Wrestling is still better than the corporation monopoly that is GAYWWE.

LMFAO!

>>19842295
>>19842316
“WAHHHHHH WWE IS NOT FOR US GEN X RETARDS WAHHHH!!!!”

Boo Hoo.

You Gen Xers deserved to be fucked by Boomers.

:)
>>
>>19842346
this nigga just made chitlins
>>
>>19842346
I was born in 1991. Sami fucking sucks. I would not pay money to watch sami. I would not go to a show to watch sami for free. I would not watch sami for free on my tv. I actively avoid watching programs involving my favorite wrestlers if sami is involved in them
>>
imagine how stale the Bloodline storyline woudlve been if it wasnt for Sami, theirs a reason Vince saw value in him
>>
>>19842617
They would have just picked someone else to do the gimmick with or find some other story. He got lucky.
>>
>>19842131
You're a low IQ sizequeen faggot boomer, sad!
>>
>>19842209
Sup rabbi
>>
>>19842617
I simply would not watch the bloodline shit with or without sami
>>19842690
sami is jewish, you retard
>>19842684
Chad is like 5'7" and I like him because he's not a faggot piece of shit like Sami
>>
>>19842249
>casually forgets that foley was in WCW
>>
>>19842660
name one person that couldve done it
>>
>>19842977
he had nothing for this. Sami saved the Bloodline, CAWdy ruined it.
>>
>>19841862
I have always liked Sami but the place he's in right now, partially as a thank you for his work on the Bloodline story, kinda sucks. Won't forget how he cucked Gable of his big moment, and the le passionate fiery promos he's cutting are a wee bit cringe. He did the underdog schtick a lot better in his NXT days, he excelled on main roster as the goofy heel desu
>>
>>19844536
Cody didn't do shit. The Mudline story went to shit when Roman dropped the strap because it was the logical ending, there was no point in trying to do more with it.
>>
>>19844632
the moment CAWdy stepped in and Sami stepped away, the bloodline storyline became dimeless.
>>
>>19841862
>pro wrestler saves wresting.
Happens more often than you think.
Putting football players and body builders in the ring to capture more female viewers was a mistake.
>>
>>19844635
So dimeless that the fucking Rock kneeled to the Codester and let him have WM40.
>>
>>19841862
The Sami vs Knoxville match was one of the best WWE comedy matches of all time and that's a shoot brother.
>>
>>19844657
funnier than anything from DDT
>>
>>19841862
did he really?
