>>17364476For a while now, yeah. He sounds like he's reading a script and waiting for adulation since he came out of retirement. He never had that problem before even when he announced what his character was in his promos (I'm cm punk! I'm the guy who has an attitude and complains!)
He's not what he was. He could make you believe him, and part of that was his clunky movements, but he lost that ability somewhere. I remember really noticing it during his samoa Joe match in aew. I was very excited for that. I was very dissapointed by it, too. Something about how he over played baby face and how great he was made it come off as such fake bull shit. The my life is a war promonwas better than the pipe bomb which itself is better than his last dozens of promos.
Maybe he's too comfy. Maybe he's just a manipulative douche that uses people and it's getting harder for him to keep up the bull shit.
Whatever
