Wasn’t he already there as Eli Drake?
Yeah, I more meant I don't see him being any other character for the rest of his career except maybe a desperate repackage towards the end of his deal. He's probably LA knight (or LA Nights when he hits the indies) now, for better or worse. Same thing happened with Kennedy/Anderson. Obviously the guy can cut a promo but he's a bit boring and cookie cutter in the ring and I feel like unless he fixes that he's gonna end up in that "go out and warm up the crowd" curtain jerking spot they used to put road dogg in rather than a major title picture. I really think changing his gear and style would help with the walmart Rock write-off too. When you do tiny graphic trunks and black boots and pads and start throwing finger wavey elbow drops you can't really get mad when people draw that parallel.
Marty ep was really good for me, but not so much as a wrestling story as just a bio of a troubled dude who might be too charming for his own good.
Al Snow seems like he would be a good dad...I hope hes involved as a guest in future seasons. Eloquent dude, his palpable paternal disappointment was a highlight for me as well shaqueefster.
Was stoked to see Pat Tanaka too since I've watched a lot of AWA this month. Funny that Beefcake ended up with a Missy Hyatt clone too. Nice to see he's pretty useless in interviews too... Dude just grabbed Hogan's coattails and coasted through life on them. Potentially to get a better grip if you believe what Linda Hogan says.
As for the dirt - I love that Marty's "hacker" managed to perfectly mirror his writing style and penchant for typos and strange punctuation use when making the post about wanting to bang his daughter. Totally wasn't you dude! With the murder thing I don't doubt that the police in his hillbilly town are incompetent enough to not find anything but on the other hand the guy is a compulsive liar and attention seeker so it's really difficult to wholeheartedly believe anything he says. I think most of his stories take a shred of truth and then tightly encapsulate it with bullshit but it's impossible to tell what's what. Good shit Busey.
