Out here on the west coast we have a chain called Grocery Outlet. They buy truckloads of overstock and sell it at discount. At my two stores there are pallets of Prime sitting around for 99 cents each. Still no one wants it.
Remember, HHH didn’t want Chyna in the HOF cause he was scared his daughters would see her doing porn but he’s completely fine with Logan “Suicide forest” Paul being around. Yeah, any HHH sycophants who say he’s better than Vince can go to hell.
@@DaveKnowsWrestling It’s because they hate Vince! Look at these crazies talk about the allegations on Vince, I’ve seen some that hope they’re true so he stays away from the writing room. There’s also crazies who don’t care if it’s true or not, they want him far away from WWE so it’s just blind hatred because they got a taste of HHH’s garbage. We may disagree on this but I think the booking is worse now, fans today are just in the honeymoon period of HHH’s booking but the fact they called for HHH’s job when Cody wasn’t gonna face Roman at mania 40 just shows he’s on thin ice.
I grew up on USWA wrestling but SMW always seemed like the minor league version of uswa. They had a ladder match that both guys coulda reached the belt on rung 2 lol
13:45 I would agree with this if this was 2014. But ever since Social Media popped off, Indy Wrestling Companies actually do pay their talent well, especially those who are renowned and have credentials like being from WWE or even AEW. But obviously not everyone even if you were in WWE will necessarily have success in the independence.
There are a few exceptions to the rule, but thinking that it's a viable option regularly or that the pay is competitive with WWE on average is incorrect.
@@Albrto2077 Well me but also, I've seen people who love WWE praise Ricochet vs Logan Paul like it was the best match they've ever seen. But then see simular WWE fans that completely shit on Will Ospreay vs Ricochet from NJPW back in 2016. Basically, if it's not from WWE. Some blind WWE fans (not all WWE fans are like this, I'm specifically talling about the crazy ones) won't criticize anything about WWE, but thinks anything outside of WWE is inferior.
And let's not forget: he can't tour Japan because of that whole "making an ass of himself in Aokigahara" deal. Plus, he got into something of a feud with Coffeezilla because he called out Logan on the Cryptozoo scam you just mentioned.
But you have to say this: unlike Ronda Rousey ,he COMMITS to being a Heel (not a very compelling one, but he commits) and fans are wanting L.A. Knight to Dethrone him at SummerSlam ,so theres that
He commits only because he has no choice. Where was the commitment when he was face? Nonexistent. It's not committing, it's just his nature. And justifying it by saying fans want him to drop the belt was the same philosophy as Russo had with Arquette and look how well that turned out. LA Knight is not more over as a result of Logan Paul. As I said in the video, this is the misguided understanding fans have of what heel work is supposed to be
@@DaveKnowsWrestling when was he actually babyface? (cause it must have a been a very short time,) and speaking of that whole "it's just his Nature" part ,cause remember in Wrestling History ,The Honky Tonk Man coming into the WWF was Supposed to be Babyface , but WWF fans rejected him in that role. but imo Comparing Arquette to Paul? Arquette was essentially the Wrestling Equivalent of Sweeps Week in TV(a concept that doesn't exist in modern tv) and stunt casting . Paul to his credit, does somewhat of the work and he plays a great slimy heel. L.A. knight ,let's be REAL dave, has lost his Hype after the Roman program and creatively he NEEDS that win, cause and you can tell by Papa H's booking , L.A. Knight is starting to become an Afterthought. and also i think fans are now tired of the Novelty of Logan paul as U.S. Champion
He was face against the Miz and against Roman Reigns. And you claim that Arquette and Paul are different, but yet somehow, in the same comment, mention that Arquette was stunt booking and bring up the novelty of Paul as US champ. And if LA Knight needs a push then that has nothing to do with Logan getting him over. You're just randomly responding without keeping in sight the reasons why these articles are being brought up in the first place.
@@DaveKnowsWrestling it's stunt booking on Arquette cause at the time he wasn't trained at all, at least with Paul ,he was a former "RU-vid boxer" and his persona was perfect for WWE. stunt booking and novelty are not the same thing and here's how: stunt booking in wrestling is Russo Making Himself WCW Champion and then giving up the belt a week later , Novelty is running with a RU-vid Celebrity as WWE U.S Champion and having mainstream culture have their Guffaws and once again turn their nose up at Wrestling and say " look at this Shite" . But you are right about L.A. knight..but it's more about "Credibility" (??) cause he failed against Roman for the world title (cause if i was a fan and L.A. doesn't at least get the U.S, Title from LOGAN PAUL!?!? then i personally wouldn't support Knight if he decided to shoot higher in storyline)
You think boxing counted as training for wrestling? What in the Inoki are you babbling about?! If anything, Arquette is better trained since he's an actor who played a wrestler in a movie
He was the third wheel in his own title defense at WrestleMania 40. Randy and Kevin Owens carried the story for the match, Logan was just there to flip and win.
As athletically gifted as Logan Paul is.His wrestling style isn't sustainable (just ask Brian Danielson) I still have a hard time trying to understand why WWE hired Logan Paul other than marketing.The problem with that is his energy drink SUCKS and Logan is just another"spotfest monkey"who's style is unoriginal. Ask yourself this question what can Logan Paul do that Justin Gabriel,johnny TV, mystico,billy kidman,hell elix skipper couldn't? Logan Paul is a PRIME example of the person doesn't always sell the product. Something that I would think WWE would learn by now
It's easy to appear talented when you rarely show up and have months off to practice matches. If he had to compete at a high level every week like everyone else on the roster, the cracks would show. It also helps he has people who will baby him, the man will never take a difficult or dangerous bump in his life. Can you imagine him getting a shoot chop or thrown off a Cell like Mankind?
You know Dave i gotta say good for you. Taking a break from doing "honest promos" for wrestlers and instead doing one for a quasi celebrity is a nice change.
