Local mute heir destroys his arm.

[ayumidah]

FFS. I didn't watch the match because I'm over Ethan, but wow. Dude managed to outdo even his shitty NXT run all in one match

[Error]

Now I have been wrong before but I just watched the match on YouTube and i think some of ya missed that he was the face in peril for the match. He took the shoulder into the post bit, sold the hell out of it, but never stopped using the arm. Dean even put him in an armbar-type submission. The jackknife finish was him catching Dean off guard.

It was just a newcomer to WWE beating a former WWE World Champ in his WWE debut type thing.

I watched this a couple of times and I can’t work out what he actually did to his arm but it looks like it hurt. A lot. I mean I can see the moment he hurts it but I wonder what the actual injury is? Maybe a muscle tear?

Best part of that segment before the match...

Dean comes out and says, "Nia I know you have a crush on me"

Renee (on commentary): "Oh."

Mute?


Dress EC3 up as Snake Eyes.


....I mean, they'd have to acknowledge GI Joe, which WWE doesn't have a history of wanting to do.


But it'd explain the gimmick, right?

...did we just watch the death of EC3's career?

I mean, the injury is one thing, but his gimmick is that he didn't say anything? Huh?

God, everything is wrong with this company, and I'm ready to fight anyone who says differently.

That's what I was shocked by. Like, for literally his entire career, his bread and butter has been the fact that he can talk. He's an alright wrestler but it's clearly his presence and mic skills that got him over initially. So, you have him just stand there like a goof as everybody talks around him? ...What, lmao? 

It's almost impossible to not look like a goober in this situation but knowing the talent involved, wow. Between Alexa Bliss having ANOTHER shitty talk show segment and this, talk about highlighting your workers' weaknesses.

At first it seemed like EC3 was going to be an over the top self absorbed narcissist goofball which kinda seemed like a cool gimmick. Then he punches Dean and turns into a standard heel and hurts himself

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well after checking the match again. Even the spot where I initially thought he hurt himself happened after he started selling the arm.

Yeah, by no means is Ambrose suddenly a babyface. Especially when he said “I don’t want to be out here anymore than you do.”

[Venti]

Kinda sad that Dean had to put over this bland roid-head looking-ass guy.

[Deleted]

So, uh, did he actually injure his arm or was that just an especially over the top sell? Because I was expecting reports that he tore his bicep or something today, but nothings been reported.

[mrbananagrabber]

EC3 is utter buns. He sucked in NXT when he had a chance, on Raw? Woof, just awful.

Sell. He was still using the arm perfectly normally when he had to, and Ambrose kept working the arm over. If there was any hint that he had legitimately injured it they'd have avoided making him use it and end the match ASAP.

This reminds me of when Cesaro was getting the pops of the night every night for his swing and his super strength moves and then he became Paul Heyman's afterthought and stopped doing all the shit hat got him over and it absolutely destroyed him.

In related news, Alexa was SUPER horny in that segment.

What is it with them making her character almost Attitude era levels of sexual lately?

my theory is that they're turning her face but the only way they know how to do that for a blond is turn up the sexy quota
