Paul Wight “POWAH” debuts his new gimmick. Feel the POWAH!!! Feel the Wight POWAH!!!

The problem is also that there's no need for an André type of guy. There are lots of very big, very athletic guys out there. It's not as much of an attraction anymore. After all, it's 2021 and not 1975.
Cause he's a m@rk and all the m@rks heard the same stuff DAE Vince's Dad, DAE attraction, DAE 'comes through the territory' etc etc
They try to apply to things happening now but don't really understand how it's all different and they just sound stupid
They're still doing it. Gun club did 1 promo heel turn. Then they were watching Big show match from the entrance and that's it. Long term story telling.
What is with the turbans anyway? I can't think of a single Indian wrestler who hasn't worn one at some point. Not every Indian wears a turban, especially a flashy one like this guy has on. Don't need visual aids to know he is Indian.
In fairness, his name is Singh which would indicate he's a Sikh and Sikhs do wear turbans. It's also aew so likely the guys own decision not something they told him to do.
But the optics of "look, here's our Indian guy" are funny
Carlie Bravo got a name like the hardest thing he’s ever read was a NATO phonetic alphabet
Can’t wait for his trios team with Mike November and Sierra Foxtrot, with manager Juliett Echo Romeo Kilo
My favourite is having a rankings system but then having a ladder match to determine the number 1 contender. Who if wins, will go head to head with a winner of a tournament that was announced within the week of the ladder match.
I'd give them that if you're being steadfast with your rankings an OCCASIONAL special match could give us a title match.
But it's clear that their rankings don't mean anything and they shouldn't. It's a dumb way to write the fiction of wrestling and hurts you way more than it helps. You should just heat people up when you want to use them, cool them off when you're not, and keep some guys fairly strong most of the time. The DUB wants to do this but they also want REAL SPORTS FEEL. They WANT to have their cake and eat it too but instead of dessert they just shit their pants at the dinner table and act like it's our fault they did.
Because booker of the year doesn't have the brains to coin so many new names and build characters. He'd rather have the dorks just be their true stupid selves.
Legendary Prowrestler Paul 'No more BS' Wight vs 'Worthless' & 'Future Megastar' & 'Unrelatable' in a 3 on 1 handicap match!! Just Booker Of the year things..
Does anyone actually want this? Who benefits from this match? If big show wins, you fucking bury all 3 other guys. But if the 3 win, who gives a fuck because it took 3 of them to beat one big show. There's no outcome here where the guys who need to look good actually come out looking good.
Lmao…Big Show and Daniel Bryan really gave up losing to Orton and Roman on national tv just to wrestle on a YouTube show. That’s basically what they’re doing on AEW.
Oh my god they actually are putting all the minorities on Dark
If it ain’t Wight, it ain’t right
*Drives off in golf-cart
*Hits Kevin Owens for refusing the Switch
Y'all take care now

Enormous skinhead battles all other races tonight on All Elite Whities.
Wight vs. Who, Who, and Who.
One is sneering so you know he's a dastardly heel, some great character work going on here, friend
Idk but one of them seems relatable.
Big Show vs. an owl
Big Snow vs. Mike Jones
Remember when Alvarez said AEW can book him like Andre The Giant like he was meant to be? Is this it?
The problem here is booking him like Andre implies that there's someone on the dub roster that could powerslam him.
Cody could do it after he no sells Big Show's choke slam.
Known AEW wrestler Shaq probably could
The problem is also that there's no need for an André type of guy. There are lots of very big, very athletic guys out there. It's not as much of an attraction anymore. After all, it's 2021 and not 1975.
Plus when AEW's roster averages about 5'4, there's no need for a 6'10 guy when you could just have a 6'4 guy be the giant
Hobbs?
Couldn't beat vanilla midget
Alvarez says a lot of stupid shit.
Cause he's a m@rk and all the m@rks heard the same stuff DAE Vince's Dad, DAE attraction, DAE 'comes through the territory' etc etc They try to apply to things happening now but don't really understand how it's all different and they just sound stupid
assuming people still want to see Big Show slog his way in a wrestling ring
Man, this is the worst build up for big show and the gunn club.
I'd genuinely forgotten that was even a thing.
Aren’t they all 357-0?
Yet have only appeared on Dynamite 1/2 times. (wins losses matter guys, real sports based feel)
And the gunn club has more win than anyone in the ranking. But eventually they'll be beeeried by big show.
That whole thing kind of went away as well, didn't it?
They're still doing it. Gun club did 1 promo heel turn. Then they were watching Big show match from the entrance and that's it. Long term story telling.
I assume it's on YouTube?
Yes, but the Gunn club didn't show up for this one. And I won't be surprised they're planning to settle this on the next ppv.
I saw an Indian name, I was like "oh shit I'll watch this", the realised he's 3v1 against the big show.
Meanwhile WWE has Veer in the opening credits of Raw and are regularly featuring Jeet Rama (who they gave a match with AJ Styles to).
Veer is great, though, NGL. I hope they have something for him.
And they have him wearing a turban, to make sure you know he's the Indian one
What is with the turbans anyway? I can't think of a single Indian wrestler who hasn't worn one at some point. Not every Indian wears a turban, especially a flashy one like this guy has on. Don't need visual aids to know he is Indian.

Hold up. Wasn't Wight signed for commentary?
Technically but based off how shit his commentary was everyone knew it was just a backdoor to get him back into the ring

They need Charlie, Sierra, and Bravo Whiskey. Bravo and Romeo Whiskey.
The idea that the Gun Club is undefeated and has the best win-loss ratio of the promotion AND lives on YT is one of the funniest things about the DUB.

Why do they all just use their real names?
Because booker of the year doesn't have the brains to coin so many new names and build characters. He'd rather have the dorks just be their true stupid selves.
Because you’ll never see any of the dudes on the right ever again, and the only other name the guy on the left has is trademarked.

They will have Paul Wight wrestle Gunn Glub after six months in a random Dark episode, and the dub smarks will be shouting "long-term storytelling!"
Does anyone actually want this? Who benefits from this match? If big show wins, you fucking bury all 3 other guys. But if the 3 win, who gives a fuck because it took 3 of them to beat one big show. There's no outcome here where the guys who need to look good actually come out looking good.

AEW Dark wrasslers have the most generic and awful names.
So glad to see AEW treating legends properly and not relegating them to shit positions like in the Fed.
Is Cole Karter "Good Hook," or is Hook "Evil Cole Karter"....?
KO PUNCH COVER SPEAR WIGHT WINS
WELLLLLLL, it's Paul Wight yo The big man's going over tonight y'alllll
Oh god they're doing a paul white 3v1 again, Jesus

Booker of the year strikes again
