WWE superstar Elias chirps the city of Toronto and the Maple Leafs

[DrJustice]

Hey Leafs fans you got a problem with it?

Settle it in the ring.

 

[BonMorrison]

Sam Melvinson over there seems to be working himself into a shoot pretty good.

Sean Matheson is just keeping people in the know, don’t hate.

Sean Matheson is just keeping people in the know, don’t hate.

Word is that Melvinson guy can’t lift a puck off the ice even if he tried using his hands

And that’s why I’ll always skate with Elias.

 

[SUX2BU]

It's still real to them, damnit ......

 

[TarasenkosForearm]

The Rock saying the maple leafs suck and calling everyone mother canuckers is still the best heat garnering promo I've seen in awhile..look it up

 

[John Price]

FYI I was reading Elias did the same thing in Philly since he's from Pittsburgh and talked about Crosby and all that to boos. So yeah wrestlers do this all the time to provoke the crowd. It's hilarious.

 

[SUX2BU]

It clearly wasn't Happy Rusev Day in Toronto ......

Yaaaayy hurrayyy he said Toronto! That's where we live! We live in Toronto - yaaaaaay! SHUT UP.

 

[McGarnagle]

Nice.

My favorite sports-related cheap-heat moments are

1. The Rock's song in Sacramento - "I'll be sure to be back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May" got the best reaction
2. Right after the Seattle Sonics moved, they did a show in Seattle where Santino came out to talk about his new favorite sports team, "the Oklahoma Thunders!"
3. Kenzo Suzuki singing New York, New York in Boston during the 2004 baseball playoffs

Not heat but wholesome moment nonetheless:

Trish still looks good. Nice.

It might just be me, but she's f***ing haggard. Has she put that slap on with a trowel?

 

[Quarter]

So when they punch or kick each other in the face, it's with the same impact and force as UFC?

No?

Then it's fake.

You're telling me when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and then through the cell's roof into the ring below, that it was all CGI?

Wait - are you saying The Undertaker really isn't an undead mortician?

Why people (mainly people across the pond) watch WWE - a scripted soap opera on stage performed by jacked dudes on steroids, I’ll never figure out.
-””You slept with my sister!”
-”Nu-uh, it was your cousin and mother, your sister slept with ol Skeeter in the Ooh house!”
-”Oh youre gonna get it now!” (big guy #1 fake-slaps big guy #2 near his face)
-”You little sh*t, take this!” (Big guy #2 Fake-throws the other big guy onto some pillows)

-” Silence both of yall! You both slept with my brother last week! Im here to punish you!” (ol Skeeter the punisher enters, while the crowd screams ”Kick their asses ol skeeter for what they did to your brother!”)

Do you watch any tv shows?

 

[Hunter368]

Funny clip.......and Trish is still looking damn good.

 

[New Jersey]

I walk with Elias.

Both of them.

Monday night, wrestling's top stars were in Toronto for Raw and the one and only Elias fired some shots at the city of Toronto, but more specifically the Leafs and John Tavares.

John Tavares chirp at 1:00
Maple Leafs chirp at 2:40

It's sad this is news. Elias is a heel or "bad guy", his gimmick is to sing terribly and trash the city he's in. Since the WWE's 2nd biggest PPV SummerSlam is moving from Brooklyn (it's been there for 4 years and the move was announced Monday) to Toronto and Tavares just made the same move, it was just too perfect not to take the shot. Tuesday night a female heel tag-team The IInonics, took a shot at the Raptors. Corey Graves, the heel commentator always takes shots at the Leafs everytime they have a show in Toronto too. I don't think he said anything Monday other than laughing about the Leafs, but Tuesday when Big E came out with a small Stanley Cup filled with pancakes Graves brought up 1967. The last time they were in Cleveland they compared LaBron to The Miz because "he left Cleveland for Hollywood". Something of this nature is a common occurrence.

Doing fake wrestling dialogue is literally so easy to do funny and this is the best you could do.

I appreciate that

 

[Drytoast]

Love it!

They had to get Trish to defend Toronto's honor though? Couldn't they get Edge or Christian out there?

Isn't Jericho Toronto a Toronto native as well? I forget.

 

[Scott Malkinson]

Do you watch any tv shows?

Wrestling is not the equivalent to a TV show like Game of Thrones.

It's the equivalent to the Bachelor.

It's portrayed as real love but everyone knows it's not.

 

[BonMorrison]

No it's not, they literally have been telling us it's just scripted TV albeit live for decades.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Do you watch any tv shows?

Oh, I watch a bunch of em. But if I do, I watch a real show, not some staged fake fight with a script written by a five year old kid, and if I want to watch a fight, Id rather watch one that isnt staged and abrupted by one participants mad uncle.

 

[New Jersey]

I appreciate that

nice one

el-I-iss, or EL-i-ahzz?
