Never seen this guy in my life, he looks old with a receding hairline and we don't even know his name. Why are they treating him like a big deal when he's a nobody that never made it to big leagues until he was past his prime?

yeah it's half-baked and cheap. one of the only surprise debuts that still holds up is jericho's, but that's because he went toe-to-toe on the mic with a top star.

They were chanting Ricky Starks so he very well might get to keep his name. I really don't know how strict they are about that shit anymore.

In kayfabe the wrestling fan's role is supposed to have a sense of who the talent are in competing feds. The shock from having a talent jump ship is always given its pop and is always over.

But WCW and WWF were pretty equal at the time. This is like a baseball player from a single A team for Cleveland joining the Dodgers main club

He was written off television nearly a year ago and assuming you're not joking you must be a new fan.

That sort of thing makes the jump even bigger. Jericho was lost in the cruiserweight division and seen as a comedy act in WCW, and then here he is, interrupting The Rock, a main event player. Even in kayfabe you'd understand the power behind going from relative obscurity to walking out through the crowd, shades of Scott Hall, and cutting a promo whether we knew who you were or not. They're chanting his name, they're chanting the company's faith in the man, it's a whole thing.

Nah do it in the right way and it works. Think AJ or Taz. They were from smaller promotions but fans still knew to care.

If they kept his name "secret", at least have him go full
"You know who I am. What you don't know is why I'm here!"
I think the essence of that was supposed to be Scott Hall at WCW, but it fell completely flat.

The fact you have to hide behind saying "in kayfabe" when you really mean "I'm a mark fucking retard but how should non-mark retards feel about this?" basically says it all

If you're going to be a faggot about it, then just be a faggot. Say you don't care for the guy, say he sucks, say he's already washed. Don't additionally act like a retard on top of acting like a faggot, pick one or the other.

you seem upset for no real reason. i'm just saying from the perspective of boomers who watch nxt they're gonna have no idea who ricky starks. the show treated him like everyone watching knew who he was already which doesn't make sense at least to me it just feels too online for me

In kayfabe you don't post here, and you're just happy when others are happy.

irl I did not know who Enzo and Big Cass were the Monday night after Mania, so when the crowd was doing the SAWFT stuff all I could do was pantomime and enjoy. In kayfabe I 100% knew who they were because I followed their NXT careers closely.

So you knew it was Jericho?
I mean there were signs for Jericho in the crowd, Chris Jericho millennium man amongst others but I had no clue that was Jericho and I'm not a young fuck looking at the moment after the fact, with the benefit of having all of the answers some 20 plus years later. How did you know it was Jericho? Good one

Ricky Starks is not on the same level as AJ or Taz. He was a lower midcarder in AEW. I don’t even know what’s comparable in TNA/ECW.
