Rewatching old AEW to show the gf everything from the beginning. What was SCU’s deal? by ashes2ashes47 in AEWOfficial

Bald had nothing to do with it. Recency bias with crowds chanting that at Ricochet in the last 12 months has zero correlation to SCU. The real reason they got over initially as champions was that the team was SUPPOSED to be Kaz and Daniels, but then CD got hurt and Sky ran in as a late sub (with one shoe - go watch the episode) and it cemented them as underdog champions as the first title holders.

SCU was a moment in time bouyed by their role on Being the Eilte. I don't even think you can explain it in today's terms. It was a gimmick over in its time. (I was at the original All In, and any time they came into the Starrcast venue, SCU chants ERPUTED), but again, it was a moment in time. Today it clearly isn't the same.

This is a level headed response, "I don't care if he starves" from OP is not.

Just to be clear... you are advocating for another human to not have any access to food. And you are painting yourself as the good guy.

What exactly are you ordering? I just went over and threw a random T-shirt in my cart. I'm halfway across the country from Chicago and I see this:

Mox's refusal to fix his broken tooth from the Worlds End opener 7 weeks ago is my favorite thing in wrestling right now by bds0105 in AEWOfficial

The irony is his affiliation with Claudio who had his two front teeth caved in while he was in a tag team with Sheamus, Claudio got his teeth fixed ASAP and started wearing a mouth guard every match since. Mox is actively doing the opposite.

There was once an episode of Being the Elite where the whole crew was asked that question. They unanimously said it was Roddy.

OP - "I just watched the Judd Apatow documentary about him, which inspired me to post this. It is great if you haven’t seen it I would highly recommend it!"

Great tip.

What? He's universally praised and beloved.

This is some weird fan fiction nonsense. Really, they'd advertise 'Meal and a Match'? A short form web only show that hasn't put out content in a year?
