Can't stop thinking the Kinshasa Knee Strike looks like a weird Sweet Chin Music/Zack Attack hybrid...

It's like he has Xavier Woods' gimmick, just with a corporate lens on it. So, instead of being like Woods, or Asuka who are wrestlers who are into gaming, he looks like Vince was like "HEY, THIS IS WHAT THE KIDS ARE INTO, RIGHT? VIDEO GAMES? FINE! GO BE LIVING VIDEO GAMES!" It's about as goofy looking as early 90's corporations adding absurdly corny rap, sunglasses, skateboards, and the word "EXTREME/X-TREME" or "2000" to advertising. |

I love TJ Perkins' in ring work and he has an amazing theme. I just wish he would never tweet, cut a promo, or dab again.

I think it is "good"... makes him "relatable" to "the kids" and gives them a "signature pose" to "copy" when he comes out.........

Shinsuke does kinda stop selling, but selling during the length of a match anymore is becoming a lost art. More people don't than do anymore. More about writers telling the stories with words (promos and announcers squabbling) than the wrestlers doing so with actions and such.
And he does everything else so goddamn well. I even find his disjointed promos oddly appealing- it doesn't so much seem like he has trouble speaking English as it just looks like forming words is physically painful for him to do. I'm sure that this totally looks like I'm slagging off on him, and I'm not. Its... different. It's more like a unique character tic than a detriment. If Cena can get up from being dead on a bare floor for 9 seconds to beat a 10 count then rally and beat 3 men consecutively, nobody will honestly shed tears for Shinsuke's miraculous, Wolverine-like healing ability. |
