He was? Weird. I also realize I missed the R in Tyrus. Whoops. I'm sure if ol boy is almost 50 that that definitely does affect what he can do. Which would seem to be another point against making him your world champ. I mostly was proud of the stick figure line tbh Just riffing on a Thomas Henderson quote really, but it’s a hell of a quote. “(Terry) Bradshaw’s so dumb, he couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C and the A”.

Remember when he was the one person not brought back for season 2 of Netflix's 'GLOW' because he couldn't stop sending dick pics to his castmates?

Anytime you are booking someone as your world champion, you should try the Garrett Bischoff test.
Ask yourself, "Would Garrett Bischoff make a better world champion than who I've currently booked as my world champion?"
If the answer is YES, I'd say you've failed as a booker.

Garrett Bischoff could have been something worthwhile had he gotten proper training, Tyrus was in WWE's system for years, had endless amounts of training and experience and he still sucks. But he's on a certain tv channel so no wonder Billy the info warrior likes him.

I was as shocked as anyone when Trevor Murdoch was made champion, but he at least made some sense in the "he's indicative of an old school NWA style wrestler" and you could run with that.
Tyrus is just shit. Just...outside of his "connections" he has nothing. And even then...

I must be the only one happy with this news. I'm not a Stan by any means, but for a big guy, I've always liked watching him work, even in Impact, so this feels kinda cool.

Brodus Clay won me over against jobbers on the C shows. Before becoming Funkasaurus. Tyrus couldn't even win me over against Typhus.

He can barely move and it looks like he's about to keel over at any second. He has absolutely no business being in the ring.

He always sucked, even in WWE. The Funkasaurus gimmick and teaming with a real pro like Albert (an actual real good big man) covered up a lot of warts.

Somebody Call My Mama was an absolutely perfect theme for him because I see this dude wrestle and I wanna call his parents to come take him the f*** home He looks like if someone thought Akeem the American Dream was "too scary" so they sought a less intimidating presence. Sort of speaking of which I swear to god this dude somehow gets whiter every year I saw him on an OVW TV episode months ago and was like holy shit he looks like the most down bad Irish guy in America

If Billy Corgan has to have Tyrus in the ring, then at least give him an undead gimmick. That would at least explain why he moves, looks and sells like shit.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall With booking that stinks this much, there's probably plenty of flies on the wall as it is.

I remember hearing an interview with Billy Corgan where he was positioning the NWA as a feeder for WWE & AEW. Tyrus isn't that.

Hadn't even thought of that angle - he wants to be developmental, y'know, the place where you find and train up all the great young talents of the future, and he's brutally demonstrating that he couldn't spot a draw to save the promotion.
