Wrestling Separation Anxiety | Super Eyepatch Wolf

[@ryanredd4552]

Sadly, both Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper passed in recent years. Bray died a few months after this video was released.

[@Airier]

Well, that sucks. 😞

[@angrybrony]

@@Airier yeah, there's a 6 hour video on his whole story.

[@BreakerX42]

Yeah a documentary just dropped anout him ​@Airier

[@SuperBrewcrew8]

To expand, Luke Harper, aka Brodie Lee and real name Jon Huber, died December 26, 2020 after some kind of infection (apparently not Covid) destroyed his lungs and rendered essentially unusable. Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, died August 24, 2023 as a result of a heart attack brought on by a post Covid heart condition. Both were very tragic as they both went way too young and left behind wives and young children.

[@drollermapas7396]

Both died of natural causes@@Airier . Unfortunatly, people have died in the ring, but its rare

[@robokop4491]

Roman's issues in promos were also largely because Vince McMahon was a control freak about scripts and would insist on specific phrases and change things minutes before shows so while experienced wrestlers could adapt on the fly and make the best of it, Roman was hamstrung with 'Sufferin' Succotash' and having to try and memorise lines without any real background in doing it. When he went away for treatment he was minded to retire, but agreed to return on the basis that he got to have creative input into his character and would get to decide for himself what he would say.

[@KairiPrime]

Airier: “Just trust me, Vince McMahon should be in jail.” Every wrestling fan from anywhere ever: “Yeah. We know.”

[@GenericProtagonist118]

Old People and Young Children would both agree.

[@dexterwilliams2520]

The thing about "I guess EATING PEOPLE?!" at 10:26 … Ryback had no character hook beyond "Is big and muscular, wins a lot, his catchphrase after winning matches is 'FEED ME MORE'." So "eating people" metaphorically (or literally if you want, if WWE wouldn’t tell us then let the headcannons roll) is as good a guess as anyone else's. Also, this isn’t touched up on in the video, but after The Shield broke up, Dean Ambrose's character story became "it is my mission from God to kill Seth Rollins for betraying me and destroying everything we worked to build" while Seth Rollins was, obviously, the main antagonist of this story. Roman Reigns's character story was "I am a cool guy who wins a lot. I want the WWE Championship." Like, buddy, this was a whole year of your life! _WHY DON'T YOU CARE?!_ Sure, Roman and Seth feuded later, but that was after Seth and Dean finished their own feud and now Seth had entered the running for the WWE title. This, along with everything else, made Roman seem more like a corporate product than a human being.

[@Abridgimation]

I wish his gimmick was eating people, that'd be funny asf

[@GenericProtagonist118]

Ryback was more popular when he ate a bag a chips then he ever was wrestling in WWE. That tells you everything you need to know.

[@malmasterson3890]

The story of Roman Reigns is really the story of Vince's terrible booking in his later years. All of this untapped potential, all of fhis artificial BS & stop-start angles, all of this controversy. It could've easily been avoided if he just did what was obvious, what was simple. Ever since Vince left nearly two years ago WWE has been BOOMING, storylines are better, matches are more well put together, angles don't insult your intelligence and eyes to view anymore (mostly). The biggest complaint tho? Predictable. It's very predictable, though, because they're making decisions that make actual sense. Sacrificing a bit of those shock OMG moments for the quality of the product, and it's paid off heavily so far.

[@colt1903]

Yeah, WWE of the last couple years doesn't have any of that "IT WAS ME, AUSTIN" energy that was always created a mix of confusion, awe, and hilarity. Well, when it worked.

[@Nemesis_T-01]

6:52 you hear a fan in the background scream out "NOOOOOO" like Obi-Wan screamed out to Qui-on when Maul killed him, made this moment Oscar worthy

[@colt1903]

Genuinely one of the strongest crowd reactions in WWE, it feels like.

[@vanyadolly]

Perfect analogy 🤣

[@ImpactSona]

So The "suffering succotash" line was writen for him by Vince himself. And back then in WWE if Vince wrote something for you, you had no say in it.

[@jamescook5783]

It was really him all along, wasn’t it?

[@GenericProtagonist118]

Even Kurt Angle's infamous "Booker, I want to have s*x with your wife" promo. Some people will chalk it up to Crazy Perc Angle but in reality it was just Vince's sense of humor after finding out about Kurt's specific taste in women.

[@fatcoyote2]

People like the Muppets. People love the Muppets. People don't want to see the people manipulating the Muppets. Even people who still believe that wrestling was 100% real could see the WWE's management pulling Roman Reigns' strings, which sucked for him because they were doing him a disservice. People actually loved him at first. At first. From everything he said to every move he made, you could SEE the calculation behind it, and people hate that. There is no way you would see a movie or play if there were someone physically behind an actor telling them how to move, what to say, and then turning to the audience and telling them "Isn't that great! Why don't you cheer for him?"

[@cd7017]

Roman said in his documentary that he didn’t want the shield to break up

[@not_ian5543]

Love seeing people's first reactions to a Warrior promo, and it's magnitudinal levels of destrucity

22:13 Fun... Well, not really fun fact... That guy has a comic series. That's about as coherent as thet promo... And he does unspeakable things to Santa Claus in it... No, I'm not joking... I wish I was.

[@Ravensgale]

8:31 Congrats! You now know part of how a chair shot works!🤫 But yeah, as someone who spent time actually in a wrestling school long enough to be licensed, yeah that's one of the things you're taught about using foreign objects in the ring.

[@Lunacorva]

So... The "Sufferin Socatash" promo was written by Vince because Vince genuinely thought it was cool and hip. The "THAT WAS NOT EASY TO SAY" was a reference to that "Yes, I was really told to say something THAT STUPID."

[@Delvokian]

When wrestling is done right you wont know where fiction ends and reality begins. There are undoubtedly multiple events in wrestling that we think are "real" but were actually part of the act.

[@dylanracho3536]

I get that it’s a reaction channel and that verbal reactions are a huge part of that… but GODDAMN this dude YAPS

[@terrencenoran3233]

Tetsuya Naito from NJPW had this issue prior to his second excursion that lead to his gimmick change. When Reigns was rejected by the wrestling audience for the first time, he received deafening boos. When Naito got rejected, it was near total silence.

[@federicosamsa]

Yeah don't worry, if the video doesn't explicitly say they went out of the script, then everything's scripted

[@maxacorn]

fun fact about the shield: they are on of the few factions in wrestling where every member is a grandslam champion. a grandslam is where a wrestling wins every title available to them at the time. in their case, it was the tag team titles, the intercontinental title, the US title and the world title. very few wrestlers have ever acommplished such a feat. hogan never came close, due to never wrestling for mid-card belts. stone cold and the rock are triple crown champions but that was it. even john cena never did it.

[@colt1903]

The saddest part about Roman's Darkest Days that he's talking about in the video right now is that, as time passed, he really was slowly but surely getting better at acting over the years. Thing is... Nobody really cared. The WWE's senseless pampering had more or less ruined any chance he'd have at people being able to see him as anything but Vince's favorite little puppy dog. Well, favorite puppy dog not named Brock Lesnar, which is kinda funny given a clip you'll see later in the video.

@@Airier 🕊️ RIP Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt 🕊️

[@vanyadolly]

The fascinating thing about the Shield breakup is that behind the scenes, the conflict was supposed to be between Roman and Dean Ambrose. But Seth convinced the two of them that he should be the one to betray the group and they pushed the higher ups for that angle. Thus Seth ended up in the conflict story with Dean, while Roman was left without a story or direction. That doesn't mean Seth was the bad guy here -- it made sense at the time -- but you can see how this decision snowballed into Roman starting his big push without a story to support it. IE, bad booking and directionless character writing.

[@MrKangaroo123]

To be fair, Roman now is an amazing wrestler and is able to sell and do mic spots really well but that's only after being pushed by WWE before he was ready, the current bloodline story arch is absolutely amazing.

[@angrybrony]

I was 15 when Roman Reign Won the royal rumble. Back then I still though Wrestling was real so I was happy for him. I liked that he was unstopable. However , as I "became smart to the bussines" I realized why every one else did not like him. I never wnet as far as to wish him ill will, but after the 2017 I was just tired of him. I remmeber wishing that WWE would realize that they made a mistake and let someone else be top Face.

[@XxSircampsalotXx]

6:37 Brother... Things like this are ALWAYS BUSINESS. except the Montreal screw job that's a whole other can of worms. Seth Turning on the shield is a storyline but it bleeds into reality these men are actors but the costume isn't a mask or cgi its their bodies. Their livelihood. Their ability to stay relevant to be able to provide food and comfort for their families. That's the part thats real. As much as they were a team there comes a time like Eye patch wolf said that every faction must break up. They eventually lose their luster and go from having tag team mid card titles to fighting for world championships. So in the end they're all really competing with each other. Hope this makes sense.

Really wish you wouldn't go on such long, drawn out diatribes. It makes the minuscule amount of the thing you're reacting to seem paltry and very unsatasfying. I mean, how much footage did you actually react to here in total? 5 minutes? and the video is nearly 40 minutes long? I know a lot of people tend to answer "that's what a reaction video is" to this critisism, but really, honestly, bro, for actual real.... even for a reaction, you talk WAY too much.
