>>8300271Average promos are shit promos
Most promos are shit, especially in AEW. Matt Menard for example, only seems like a good promo because he’s a le wacky coke head. The reality is that it’s not the coke (prescription drugs in his case) that make the man, it’s the promo that does. His promos have no substance to them, just “IM CRAZY YOU WANNA TASTE XDDDDDD” shit that your girlfriend or best friend or dad wouldn’t give two shits about. Meanwhile you show them a Macho Man promo, and they might comment on the coked out nature, but they would really be observing the words Macho Man uses and word play and such. The coke is just a tool that they use to get riled up. That’s why I hate Matt Menard, he’s both A. a shadow of the coked up wrestlers from the 80s and B. a cringe prescription drug user.
But yeah, Wardlow being an average promo isn’t good. The best promo in AEW is a tie between Moxley, Kingston, and MJF, Moxley uses a lot of the same schtick in his promos, MJF is always the same promo except for like once, Kingston is the same, all of their promos usually involve shitting on THE OTHER COMPANY, there isn’t such thing as a good promo in wrestling anymore. People say “oh, this old guy is a WAY better promo than the modern roster, wow, so cool, boomers are actually cool!”, it’s because unless your brain didn’t turn into mush, you still have that promo ability with you always.
