Talented guy, I'm not sure they ever knew how to get the best out of him.

People close to him are saying covid related heart attack, as in he had a condition and it exacerbated it.

Yeah I mean I didn't always think the stuff they had him doing worked, but you could see he had serious talent both as a wrestler and as a performer. Wouldn't have been surprised to see him shift to acting.

He was a big horror fan. He’s in the credits of that Tom Savini documentary that came out a few years ago (he might have been a crowdfunding backer too) and he personally commissioned some of the masks and props from the big man that he was using in more recent iterations of the gimmick.

All In live for me was about as perfect a stadium show as you'll get. I'd been to Wembley a few times before but hadn't appreciated how nice it was. No queues, edible food and a decent beer selection (at £7.95 a pint).

what's the story here - if they're all acting this good off-screen, why can't they be that convincing when the cameras are on them?

Supposedly Rollins was working it, but they didn’t show anyone at the ring when what’s his face did his walk-in so they were only playing to the crowd, whether they knew that or not.

I’ve got morbid curiosity about the whole thing, sure, but this was the first WWE show I’ve watched in ages and it did nothing to convince me to keep watching. Mind you I have my issues with AEW at the moment too, but it’s easier to watch.

i dunno - there's something about the body language of everyone involved that's very different to the normal shit they act out... things like michael cole holding him back in a very "i don't want to be seen to be holding him back" way, or in this clip the referee tearing across the ring after him, and the cameraman that's right there and could be getting great reaction shots just walking away, like they've been told to minimise it as much as possible.

Anyone good at lipreading to figure out what Graves and Cole were saying? I’m a sucker for good wrestling dirt.
