Bruh what are you talking about? The guy is a multiple-time X-Division ChampionThe Middle Eastern Nightmare deserves to finish his story and win the title that Hassan couldn’t win
The Middle Eastern Nightmare - Am still laughing
It was a dumb thing to do. The whole thing was badly thought out and poorly executed. The crowd had enough of Hulk Hogan. Just because you changed the colors and had someone else put on the costume, didn't mean the crowd was going to gravitate towards that. But once they put him in that position they should have gone all-in, rather than what they ended up doing, which completely buried Lex.

What cracks me up more is the noise of the planes in the background of his entrance theme. $hit$tain gives a new meaning to the term 'on the nose.'
it plane noise makes it even more epic now lmao
I think the gimmick would have done a lot better if it didn't include demonising Islam in there. They could have done without that mat praying and terrorists aligning with him. Otherwise it could have been a massive heel magnet in a good way. Americans of Arab origin can be a massive gimmick even today.Sheikh Abdul Bashir The Middle Eastern Nightmare
You’re absolutely right, I keep thinking my memory might have failed me but no, he was 100% going to beat Batista for the title on that show. I mean we were a bit too PC for the time period, I feel like Vince should have stuck to his guns and pulled the trigger, even if it was a short reign, the nuclear heat would have meant that whoever would have beaten him, would get a mega pop.
He was released 1 or 2 weeks before he was scheduled to win a title in NXT i remember.
It's still funny how Vince managed to pair up a supposed Arab American with an Iranian American and sold together as a team even though arab and iranian hate each other in reality.Need to send my apologies to Daivari, tbh he did a decent job with what he was given and him once being Angle’s manager once somehow worked as well.
I didn’t even pick up on that because of how much I was laughing
AEW marks are a different lot. They think they have to support AEW no matter what simply because its the little guy in this fight against the behemoth WWE. To play devil's advocate for a second though, I will say that Revolution was one of the better shows they have done in a long while. Besides the terrible main-event there were plenty of excellent matches on the card: MJF v Hangman Page, Ospreay v Fletcher, Omega v Takeshita. Toni Storm v Mariah May may have been one of the best women's gimmick matches I've seen - though there isn't exactly alot to choose from.
I don't get how it is even a fight vs WWE. WWE is a global empire while AEW is only held in select few arenas in US. Isn't Dynamite and Collision held in one fixed arena every week in Florida? They don't have a developmental system, house shows etc. Even their PPV aren't as much as what WWE does which is roughly 1 ppv every month. I have watched a few angles and promos from Mox in last few months and I still don't get his word salad or what he's trying to do. I feel his work was a lot better when Bryan was around. Edge is still pretty sharp in the ring still.
They definitely shouldn't be deluding themselves into thinking they are even in the same stratosphere as WWE. Especially in the last couple of years, when WWE has reached new heights; creatively and financially. That said, there is definitely room for them to be an alternative brand. Problem is, bad booking has damaged that prospect too.
Tbh, Gewirtz is stooge. He might be the one carrying The Rock's p!ss bottles.
So John Cena will be on RAW next week. Finally the moment every wrestling fan has been waiting for. Cody Rhodes will be on the show too. Could be spicy.
It's funny since Punk wanted to lose that match.Do you guys remember when H thought CM Punk was going to agree a match with 4/10 at WM 30, so he decided to book a handicap match where Punk went over clean against the friggin Shield.
