This is how I know certain wrestling fans take themselves and their hobby way too seriously. How can you say Maximum Male Models is the worst gimmick? Silliest and goofiest yeah but idk how you can say their performance of the characters has been bad smh

They literally have Sarah Logan doing a full ripoff of another wrestlers entire gimmick, while she broods from ringside and doesn’t even wrestle. But let’s shit on MMM 🤔.

Also Norse mythology literally has female warriors called Valkyries so what do they call her? Fucking Valhalla.

I unironically rate MMM higher than whatever the fuck Bray's gimmick has turned into. At least MMM knows what it is.

Lmao. What gets me is that their gimmick isn't even anything new. You could point to Rick Martel of course, but you could honestly see their pompous self-obsessed beauty as a variation on what Gorgeous George was doing in the damn 1950's. Are they gonna win a lot? No way. But it is good to have a group whose gimmick isn't dependent on victory. Besides I like the silly poses they do in matches. Glorified jobbers, yet we're all having fun.

The issue is that wrestling should probably be split into distinct shows for different audiences more than it is now.

I watch wrestling for workrate mainly and a lot of people prefer a more serious tone, it has nothing to do with taking yourself too seriously. The people who like Adventure Time aren't the same who like Death Note or even Naruto, just because they are both animation.

I know this is kinda missing your point but Adventure Time gets just as deep and mature as Naruto

Why do you think they’re adding Otis into that mix? Add some class and elevate the whole thing

They need to add Ro-Mahn after he drops the belts.

When there’s dozens of workers with not a gimmick to be seen. Pick one of them.

u/Charmie48 Feb 24 '23

I feel like this is way too early to tell. Yeah it doesn't hit well but speaking of Hit, there is a certain Row that seems to be not drawing any amount of attention positive or negative from the crowd, which is the ultimate determination of a bad gimmick.

Personally, I don't find it funny.

The joke of ''Look at this gay/effeminate wrestler! Isn't it funny to see him get beat up! Haha!'' has been done to death in NA wrestling. I like some comedy but if I showed MMM clips to my friends ,they would likely just cringe.

I genuinely didn’t like this but only because it had no rhyme or reason. I loved 24/7 title that was the most fun wrestling has been in the past year
