Man, I still really don't get the vitriol people have for Sammy and Tay. Nothing they do bothers me in the slightest. Guess I've never been that person who gets annoyed at overly romantic antics. They just come across as cocky faces paying back heels. I do think though that they really need to distance Sammy from the TNT title. Wouldn't mind a Darby run, or anyone really. 6 championship reigns have been between two people so far. Not great. For me, and I know this is going to sound so woo and unscientific, I felt like their energies were just off-synch in a way that drew attention to the uncomfortable elements. Like, Britt Baker and Adam Cole going full PDA worked for me, because they seemed to embrace that they were a villain couple and that they were going to carry that vibe together. It sometimes felt like Sammy and Tay were being extra but in ways that were subtly off from one another, and when piled onto bad material, it just got grating.

I don't think they should outright let Lambert go as much as I think they should have him do something more similar to his belt collector "i know more about wrestling than all these young bastards" shtick from Impact. He was rly good in that role. The "is he or is he not Jim Cornette" thing is like pure distilled penis. Lambert: Ethan Page is holder of the CWA International Championship that was contested in the Memphis Territory! Randy Savage held that belt!!

The amount of people who said the TNT Title is now "Useless and dead" on Twitter under the AND NEW for Sammy and Tay is giving me a f***ing headache
So many people scream about shorter title reigns, and then they start getting some, and a belt is decreed dead and meaningless, it's really cool when you can never win no matter what you do.
In any case I feel like Cody's indecision kinda f***ed with things for a bit, but this is probably where things have gotten back on track the most, people have also wanted a feud surrounding the TNT Title and this is definitely that, with the right decisions being made for the crowd reaction
I also feel like Sammy's second reign is being overlooked a ton here, like those matches with Darby and Andrade alone were complete bangers, twitter hot takes are annoying sometimes lol

This is just a straight up heel promo: That was like…a million times better promo than he’s probably cut in a long time. Yeah, this is the way to go.

I'm calling them Taysam. Kinda like that quarterback on the New Orleans Saints.
I think we need an alignment shift for Page, Paige, and Scorpio "I can't wait for the new WoW Expansion Announcement" Sky, too. Ethan's a great promo, whether he's face or heel, and I think Sky can work off that energy. Ethan being face also increases the likelihood for Danhausen interactions.

Really I think Sammy Guevara just needs a ground up reinvention. I don't think any aspect of him really at all lives up to the hype surrounding him, especially of late, and I don't really think, "This thing people hate watching, lean into it instead of just ceasing with doing it," is ever a good idea. And really even if it was it wouldn't change how utterly brainless most of his matches are.
Like, there was a point in time when I was a big Sammy fan but the guy's been pretty shit for quite awhile now.
As for Tay... I kind of hate to dwell on one side of it but to be honest I have never had anything resembling an actual opinion on Tay Conti. She exists, that is my opinion of her as a performer.

Like I said in the other thread, Sammy saying that the TNT title isnt the only one that they will get, does that mean Tay will now go for the womens title, beat Rosa and become the Power couple?

Guevara's been involved with the TNT title and ATT for too long, going all the way back to Inner Circle's feud with them.

That was the first time I’ve been intrigued with Page after seeing that bomb promo he just cut.

I think the Page promo is pretty good but he overdoes it on the shouting. The more effective parts of it are when he goes a little lower, more seething, but he leans too much into RAWRANGRY.

Just a headache. I talk with my friends about it, and here, it's tedious to really mention shit on Twitter, I comment on it minimally because of this shit, everyone's always trying to get the next hot take And I do think Tony's onto something when the negative comments that call the TNT Title dead have over a hundred likes and are on the top of the section, it happens A LOT.

I think him as a face worked when you had him interacting with Marko and Fuego because, well, they are friends. It was easy to buy, and he worked as someone who was buddies with these guys that got taken for granted. So, naturally, Marko disappeared and Fuego hardly interacted with Sammy onscreen for ages. They also had him stay out of the Inner Circle breakdown which was fine, it made sense, but then they immediately thrust him into the Lambert feud. I feel kinda bad for Scorpio on this. He's pretty much by default the shittiest TNT champion of all time now. I cannot remember if he ever successfully defended the title or not, and him being like the 5th or 6th wheel in the Lambert/Sammy feud didn't do him any favors. I get that Scorpio is already more or less "made", and didn't strictly need to have a good reign, but it should have at least been something more than this.
