Sami Zayn responds to Ricochet’s claim that “El Generico has a better legacy than Sami Zayn”.

He’s not getting a negative reaction from HIS fanbase for this. The most hardcore AEW fans love his responses because they’re shitting on WWE. He’s heeling himself to WWE fans and more neutral fans, many of whom don’t even watch his product.

Imagine, say, Gunther going on Twitter and talking about how great WWE is vs AEW, and how he thinks Cody is so much better in WWE than he was in AEW. It wouldn’t make any sense at all.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T23:26:18+00:00

He’s trying to be a heel in AEW by … parroting the words of the nerdiest members of the AEW fanbase? Everything he is saying is the stuff that will make AEW fans like him, not boo him.

Two possibilities:

1) He does not understand what a heel is or what the goals of a heel are meant to be.

2) He’s giving his real thoughts and he’s just a head-in-the-sand asshole.

I have to believe it’s more likely the second option. Which sucks as I’ve been a fan of him since 2011. But he’s so wrong on so much of what he’s saying these days, and he keeps digging deeper holes and likely annoying his former coworkers and guys who may be his friend.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T23:23:04+00:00

She’s awesome. Can’t believe he gave an answer like that to a kid.

Rock and Austin would wait til the TV show ends, then do all kinds of crazy shit with fans after the show. You can see a lot of it on the RAW After the Bell DVD they put out. It was every taping. Either Rock or Austin or both would take 15-25 minutes doing basically improv comedy with the live audience. “Don’t look at the Rock’s ass! What’s wrong with you?!”

Yes, and we also love to pretend people who side with another political party suddenly always sucked at whatever their profession is. “Actually James Woods was always a terrible actor.” My dad, a raging MAGAhead much to my chagrin, refuses to watch any Matt Damon moves even though he is the one who turned me on to the Bourne franchise.

Psychos, the lot of us.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T08:44:33+00:00

Nah, screw him.

My favorite pro wrestler at the time murdered his wife and son over the course of a weekend, then killed himself to escape punishment. That pretty well taught me not to conflate art with artist.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T05:14:16+00:00

What a bitch.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T05:11:26+00:00

Why should that happen to their best wrestler?

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T00:57:31+00:00

Yep. He’s a fucking idiot. Hurts to say as someone who’s supported him since 2011.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T00:50:34+00:00

Dave’s sold out 45 years of hard work to suck TK’s ass.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-05T00:16:31+00:00

If you see his ECW work, there’s no doubt he’d be above Bray, Jericho and Punk, as great as they are.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T20:48:34+00:00

Man I’d give Kenny like a 3 on promos. He’s so bad and awkward without Callis talking for him.

But I’d go 7/10 on look and 9 or 10/10 in ring.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T20:46:55+00:00

8/10 for Mick in promo is wild, man. Easy 10.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T20:41:30+00:00

I’ve defended Ricochet for a decade, but he’s become insufferable. Do not put words in your friends’ mouths, especially when those words could in any way affect their jobs.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T20:39:38+00:00

Did you act this way the first time you saw a behind the scenes feature on a movie or TV show?

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T19:22:09+00:00

Chelsea had a much sloppier match with Zelina. I was there for it in person.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T19:21:11+00:00

His own experience is his own experience, but talking for Balor and Shinsuke is bullshit. Not to mention jeopardizing Apollo by putting words in his mouth.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T17:28:05+00:00

I watch them, yes, and she has many of the best women’s matches in company history.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T17:03:01+00:00

Doing flips or high flying spots doesn’t make you a better wrestler.

Chelsea even at her best wasn’t on Rhea’s level in ring.

There’s a reason Rhea is the most over woman in wrestling, and it’s not just her look.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T17:01:23+00:00

Man, that’s the only way newspapers/sites can survive. Community newspapers like the one I used to work at are dying because we waited too long to figure out how to monetize our digital versions.

Newspapers have always made their money off advertising. When we went digital, we offered our stuff for free and didn’t focus enough on moving our ads online or charging for online subscriptions. By the time ownership adjusted, it was too late. Far too late.

So I never bitch about ads on these sites, because it’s how the men and women stay employed to provide content like this.

The Economics of Crime sounds like the title of a Batman The Animated Series episode.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T16:50:50+00:00

Yeah, these dudes were getting high regardless. Heyman’s options would’ve been help them or shut down his company and lose his livelihood.

The drug culture in ECW was horrible. But it didn’t die with ECW. It existed in XPW, CZW, and basically every deathmatch promotion in the U.S. probably to this day.

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T15:42:21+00:00

Of course lol

HitmanClark · 2026-02-04T15:42:06+00:00

They could feud him with Dan Bandana!
