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

[JAS 39 Gripen]

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

Its the jist of it

 

[SeidoN]

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

Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi would like a word

 

[BrindamoursNose]

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.

Christian or Edge don't really do anything on camera (meaning promo or actual wrestling) anymore. Trish was likely there because she's Canadian AND they're doing an All-Womens PPV where she makes her big return -- get people used to her face again I suppose.

I can leave this thread satisfied.

You also need to drop this "wrestling is for hicks" rhetoric when WWE is a north-eastern based company that got big with its roots in the northeast. Also it's huge in Japan, India, and sections of Canada so.

 

[SeidoN]

Never thought I'd see the day when Elias worked the main board

Still a better heel than @Max Money

 

[John Price]

Love it!

Jericho is a Winnipeg boy

This is kind of Elias' thing everywhere he goes. From earlier this year:



No need to get in a twist TO fans

Well, someone here compared it to GoT, which is like comparing NASCAR to F1, so, its easy to make the assumption.

 

[John Price]

The best was Kevin Owens smack talking the Toronto crowd and speaking in French to loud boos

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Jericho is a Winnipeg boy

@irunthepeg

One of the great sort of real sort of fake moments

 

[New Jersey]

Jericho is a Winnipeg boy

@irunthepeg

Correct. Born in Manhasset, NY while his father Ted Irvine played for the Rangers, relocated to Winnipeg when his dad retired.

That's why he's been announced as being from both over his career.

 

[BonMorrison]

It wasn't comparing it to GoT in quality it was to counteract the dumbass comment that "wrestling is fake" to wrestling fans who already know this. All scripted fictional programming on TV and film is fake, GOT was just being used as an example. So thanks, tips.

 

[Drytoast]

Jericho is a Winnipeg boy

@irunthepeg

Maybe he grew up there but the Internets say born in New York...I just checked.

 

[John Price]

Didn't know his father was a NHL player. That's cool

Well, doh, you dont say...

 

[Conrad McBenis]

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.

It's literally the same thing LMAO

Hypocrite

 

[Lunatik]

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.

Not hitting as hard, isn't the the same as it being fake. Yeah, they don't try and hurt each other, but you see a guy tossed off a steel cage through a table, even with an airbag, that will hurt like a bitch. They are essentially professional stuntmen (and women) with their own tv show.

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

whats next, are you going to tell me The Godfather wasn't really a pimp?

Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi would like a word

well played

Exactly this, the NFL and professional North American football as a whole is much closer being for hicks than wrestling, as WWE is larger worldwide than the NFL

 

[Conrad McBenis]

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.

Game of Thrones is terrible.

 

[New Jersey]

lol yeah, go to a WWE event at any venue in the New York Metropolitan Area and then tell me only hicks like wrestling. Stupid generalization.

I myself tend to go to any WWE taping held in Newark.

 

[BonMorrison]

Well, doh, you dont say...

Correct, that was you saying it.

 

[The Mentalist]

It's all scripted and fake just like the WWE itself.

 

[SeidoN]

We have a late entry!
