are we ready for the return of intensity?
>>18703533I'm really excited, and I think now might be a great time for him to come back while Gunther is out. Let Ilja get established before his nemesis returns.
I hope he gets injured immediately again, would be fucking hilarious
>>18703541That already happened to Noam Dar this year
>>18703546didn't it happen to the one gunn brother too?
>>18703541You’re evil.
>>18703546Him specifically getting injured again would be funny. Smarks deserve to see their favourite flippy manlets in pain
never lost hope
>>18703533Kek can't wait for this dimeless retard to come back and the crowd to not give a fuck
Domfag seething.
>>18703578I hate wrestling too
eslop equivalent of darby allin, actually probably the same fans of both vanilla midget shitters
>>18703560ilja isn’t a flippy midget he’s just a midget
I like this guy but no one cares about him. I mentioned him to my brother once and he called him a “faggot” because of how he looks. Like who does he appeal to? Russians? How many Russian-Americans are watching WWE and didn’t he not grow up in Russia obviously? Does he appeal to smarks? Yeah but everyone knows the smark fanbase doesn’t bring in the dough. I hope he doesn’t get injured again, but rather works long enough on the main roster for both him and WWE management to realize WWE isn’t his fit, so he can go to AEW where he will be more appreciated and most likely make more money. You just know Tony wants this guy above a lot of the next people who will jump ship.
>>18703602I'm pretty sure everyone likes him
>>18703602He’s a manlet who kills himself. That’s why people like him vs guys like Pete Dunne or Tyler bates. Also they want Gunther to have a good feud.
>>18703593Darby is a sucker for pain, he does epic spots where he gets really hurt, and he also has that bad boy/cool guy aura.Draganov is just a guy who wrestles well and sells moves better than hotcakes. It’s not even comparable.
>>18703607Yea maybe on planet smark. Pedro don’t care about him, Marvin watching on cable who watched for the past 40 years don’t care about him, ranjeet don’t care about him, Melissa who loves Rhea Ripley don’t care about him, Jim who likes Randy Orton and LA Knight don’t care about him, only Melvin the smark likes him (you).>>18703608Yeah, and the only people who like him are smarks.I say this as a massive Fraxiom mark. I like Dragunov he’s a great wrestler but what mass appeal does he have? Name a guy who is like him that actually go over in a huge way? You could say Danielson but he also was charismatic af, and could work gimmicks like eco hippie and angry manlet. This guy is just a pure wrestler who wants to wrassle. Idk maybe Benoit but Benoit payed his dues for a long time.
>>18703610they both have "omg lil nigga" aura
>>18703533>Russian Sammi Zayne is backwho gives a fuck?
Oompa loompa doompety doo
>>18703636>Is that le heckin hang man' music???
OHHH HECKIN GEEBRING BACK THE ANIME EYESTHE LINKIN PARKTHE BANGARINOS!!!
>>18703636But Darby has Jeff Hardy charisma and aura, and marketability like facepaint. He also does crazy shit outside of wrestling like stunts and climbing Everest.
the whole "I'm a good wrestler because I hit hard" is so antiquated
>>18703642never insult ilja like this ever again
>>18703602Based brother
>>18703814His entire angle is the same fucking thing as Zayne. Scrappy little fighter who wins by sheer determination and the crowd cheering him. It's the gayest angle imaginable
>>18703533>>18703578the no dimes wedgie man is coming back?This guy is worse than Pete Dunne.
>>18703948Think that’s Tyler bates but I won’t fault you for that, they basically look the same. Little midgets with short as fuck legs running around with wedgies
>>18703560>ilja>flippy manletSo you've never actually seen him then.
>>18703533i miss this dude
>>18703642you take that back motherfucker
>>18703970wedgie dragunov seriously needs better gear, whoever told him white shorts were a good idea?
He should return and turn heel and team with gunther and demolish the tag division
>>18703915ilja isn’t preachy gay cringe söy and annoying like samihe also doesn’t have the worst look in wrestling like sami does, and he’s actually a little guy unlike sami, he’s a believable underdoghe destroys himself every match and was losing frequently before his injury, not a boy crying wolf situation where he’s booked like hitler like sami hogan
>>18703632>I say this as a massive Fraxiom smarkftfy
>>18703533My nigga backI used to pray for times like these
>>18703558I think that was a false alarm
>>18704545he has the best little nigga style of wrestling, always looks believable.
>>18703533>Another no dimes midget shitterRiveting
>>18703636>>18704645
>>18703533So how did he kwab himself for a year again?
>>18704739It was a work to avoid paying his dues in donbass.
>>18704756>mmmm don't wanna pay your dues, kid? I'll see you at vatniks court tomorrow... andyou better bring a bottle of gorb
>>18704739went too hard at a house showlmao
>>18704732kek this is me
>>18703610Yea that’s why he said the eslop equivalent, a character as raw and human as Darby can’t exist in WWE and become sanitized and packaged into Iñja Dragunov because that’s what the shareholders and sponsors want.
>>18707161You make it seem as if Darby has been booked well in AEW when everyone knows this has never ever been the case.
>>18703533He finna job to Becky
>>18707161its ok, sometimes we get filtered by things
>>18703541With the way he wrestles, it’s a possibility.
>a character as raw and human as Darby can’t exist in WWE and become sanitized and packaged into Iñja Dragunov
>>18703593This may be the dumbest fucking post I have ever read on this board and I've been coming here since day 1
>>18709671refute it, faggot
>>18709621idk about his character work and shit but darby 100% could not exist in WWE doing the stuff he does
>>18709820ko did just fine
>>18703592I hate dry tryhard retarded "oi me heckin graps" guys without a modicum of charisma or characterWe don't dislike the same thing. But you go and enjoy Pete Dunne and Noam Darsh and Gallus
>>18703602>How many Russian-Americans are watching WWEI saw RAW live in Ottawa a while back and there was a woman with an eastern-european accent cheering for him like crazy.Obviously just one person, but I'll never forget it, because it's been a long time since I've seen an adult unironically mark out that hard. Like, she was ride or die with the lil nigga.
>>18703915You're describing a plethora of babyfaces in industry history, including Mankind, one of the GOATs.
>>18710060>I hate dry tryhard retarded "oi me heckin graps" guys without a modicum of charisma or characterdoes not describe ilja, fuck it describes gunther more than it describes ilja
>>18710141It describes them both
ilya is a boring shitter like joe malenko
>>18710643Nah that's you
>>18703533Too bad he's a dimeless shitter who's on a non-wrestling focused brand like wwe rawGunther is the michaels because he's actually funny on the mic
smarks think this 5'1 elf is going to draw
>small>dimeless>the gimmick is that he's a good at wrestlinghe can fuck off to aew
cornette likes ilja. cornette likes a workrate midget. that should tell you how good ilja is.
>>18712155I wouldn't even want him in AEW, he'd fit right in ROH.
>>18712340he is the final evolution of hook
>>18712344who is the middle stage of this pokemon evolution
>>18703533Wunderbar news indeed!
>>18712386Daniel Garcia
>another euro midget Just stick him with Dunne and Bate as Americano #4.
>>18703533im so fucking ready
