I think it's supposed to work the fans? It can work if it actually has a punchline but he literally just walked out and then cut a promo as himself

But that works if it's a thought out moment like when Shawn did it in Canada in like 04 or 05 or whatever, when there was a better chance of hell freezing over than Bret coming back. Or when Heyman did it in chicago for Punk. But coming out dressed as the guy himself and just doing a promo in cosplay of the guy is kinda lame tbqhwyf

Mimicry has long been used as mockery in every form of theatre, you shoot brainlet.
He's even openly denigrating his previous look with a comically tiny lantern.

But that only works if it's funny and not if you sit there watching it completely stone faced. This is like a comedy but without the laughing part.

It's not supposed to be funny. This shit has been done many, many times, it's simply mimicking the actions of someone you dislike as a spit in their face. Coming out to an opponent's music is also a big one.

it's not funny and it's not clever. it is lowest common denominator humour because it's simply a reference. which I guess is why you think it's good

The point I'm trying to make is the fact that they do it a lot doesn't make it a valid thing. Your explanation is they do it because they've done it. It doesn't make sense. The mimicry isn't achieving anything if he just comes out and does a promo in the costume then the real guy comes out.

>pulling a quote from a guy born in the middle 1800s when there is theatre and evidence of people applying mimicry as an insult that predates that
>not understanding that things can have different meanings depending on their execution or interpretation, like imitation or outright mimicry intended to insult
You better stick to watching tik toks and AEW.

>>8744349
Backhanded insults after using Oscar Wilde quotes don't really peel off, especially when you can't think in a gradient or grasp the idea that similar things can have different outcomes.

>>8744352
My explanation isn't it's valid because *they* have done it a lot, it's valid because it's a theatrical staple across many formats wherein people mimicking someone in a very overt, brash fashion is seen or construed as an insult or affront, and has been for centuries.

it's not supposed to be, this is knight reminding bray of who he was, since bray's back and the entire story is him trying to turn a new leaf, him coming out as a prior ego is a very clear insult
you don't have ground to call anyone else dumb if you can't grasp this incredibly simplistic story
PS: i don't even think it's done well, bray's a laborious fat midwit, but this wasn't a joke, it wasn't meant to get a laugh, it was just a shittalking character insulting his opponent, good lord some of you are dumb

ok maybe I missed something, I didn't watch wrestling when Bray was around last. is this some reference to a prior character?

fwiw I get the idea. I remember thinking Seth doing the shield's entrance last year when he faced Roman was really good. I thought this was lazy but maybe there's more to it and I'm wrong. feel free to educate me
