Not really feeling his “I’m Jim Cornette but more boring” routine. Yeah, This is like the Librarians and Dark Order (in the beginning) it just needs tinkering and I'm not sure Men of the Year fits in with Lambert. Like others have said, it feels like Men of the Year needed something and this was it. His stuff was great with Impact, but here it's not quite hitting all cylinders.

I thought his promo was great and he just gets it. Why Tony in kayfabe would allow him to do this though is a mystery.

He's instant fast forward material. Which is a real shame as I barely skip anything in aew.
TBF it's not entirely his fault, I haven't given him a fair chance. I hate wrestling and particularly WWE's MMA obsession and aew already have enough guys that get too much mic time. Also hate anyone too shouty. I don't see any reason to tolerate him.
The worst part is Ethan Page was winning me over which in turn helped Sky, now Lambert has cut into his mic time. To me they were better off alone.
I still think Callis harmed the Bucks and has had some awful promos but at least he adds to things in general, especially on commentary where he shines. Maybe Lambert will settle too.

Scorpio Sky plays video games. Ethan Page has that cheesy sociopath ethic. Neither make sense for the type of guys that Lambert wishes to help. Well the whole point of a douchebag heel is to also be a hypocrite so I don't really see the issue. Ha! thanks for this post, it perfectly sums up what I love about Lambert. Lambert is full of shit. He always has been. That's his gimmick. He says things we're meant to disagree with, if not are provably false. It makes no sense, despite the MMA shit, for him to be with the Goons of the Week, but I honestly love it like I love dipping fries in a milkshake, sometimes shit is great because it makes no sense

Like I said in the other thread, Men of the Year feuding with Suzuki Gun now makes sense if they had Lambert bring up how fans are "nerds" for complaining about Suzuki theme song, turn Lambert Go Away heat into Real Heat.

The one silver lining is that Tony Schiavonne made me laugh so hard when he said "it's just an old man yelling at a cloud."

See this is tough.
I think Lambert is a hell of a talker usually, one of the best out there now but lately it seems like the promos are getting more man yells at cloud status. I also think Ethan Page is a superstar in the waiting, I don’t see that for Scorpio.
As a whole it is good but Lambert really needs to switch things up or it’ll become in one ear out the other with the millennial bashing

Or in Becky Lynch's case she complained about millennials in the lamest way possible despite being one. It's one of those phrases that just makes me think everything that follows is going to be a waste of time, like when somebody says "you're not a real wrestler" to someone who very clearly is a professional wrestler.

No idea who Dan Lambert is/was but I watched the entire episode of Dynamite for the first time this week and that was the only segment I was really averse too. He did nothing for me.

He's not a bad promo but instead of doing the He Who Shall Not Be Named parody TK would be better off backing up the Brink's truck to Louisville and bringing in the real thing for actual NUCLEAR heat.

I really don't get why people find Lambert's shtick so off-putting. Not that y'all aren't entitled to your opinion, it's just really well-done shtick by a very good talker who undermines everything he's saying as he's saying it so you know he doesn't mean it. Although I know WWE did hamfisted attempts at this which were written by someone who DID mean it, and of course political figures also factor into it, so that could be part of it.

I think Lambert is an excellent talker and a great heel magnet, I just don't like the toxic masculinity nonsense he's spewing. It doesn't get heel heat with me, it gets change the channel heat. With a few tweaks to his material, I think he could be an asset to AEW.
I just don't understand why he's with the Men of the Year when Ethan Page is a perfectly good talker in his own right. I'm not the biggest fan of Scorpio Sky, but I thought their act was starting to click on its own. Surely there's some other guys that could benefit from a talker like Lambert more than Page & Sky?

Well the whole thing was to attempt to heat up Scorpio and Ethan(man those What chants he got couple of months ago hurt him).
For the best of everyone Jericho and Hager should win next week, though at worst this angle ends at Full Gear.

Knew this thread would get bumped lol I mean it's clear to say this angle has its detractors and I can get why. Lambert's shtick just seems to hit the wrong nerve with certain fans. But I think this was the right move if they were gonna do it. Jericho's still insanely over with the general wrestling public. He got that crowd SUPER into the segment. And the match itself should be fine. Whether that's the end of it or not will have to be seen though. I also disagree hard with "Lambert is Cornette". I get Cornette is a default to wrestling... but Dan has been doing this act for YEARS and he actually likes modern wrestling himself unlike Jim. It's an act. And if Jim Cornette is the only old egotistical and hypocritical shitbag in wrestling then I definitely have been watching the wrong wrestling Same goes for Media. There are a lot of people Lambert could be feeding off of... even if peeps don't like the gimmick which is fair. Just don't think it's a Cornette clone. Not something that has a lot of fans on FAN or some other sections online I'm sure. But it's doing what it needs to do as a middle of the card feud and finally gives Lambert and Men of the Year a purpose. Hoping the match goes over well at Rampage. Also Lambert demanding Judas be shut off just for the crowd to acapella it was the highlight for me

To quote The Critic, It Stinks!
Maybe they can borrow the crate DX used to ship The Spirit Squad to OVW and stuff Lambert in it.

When you have like 80 people of the roster does this guy seriously have to be on the show every single week?

This whole thing seems like a rib on Corny to me. I may be wrong but it is Jericho he spews much of his venom at so I doubt it is a coincidence Jericho is now involved with Lambert's group.
And, yeah, Chrom I agree, it does stink! lol

What was the point of having Kayla Harrison there? Paige Vanzant? Austin Vanderford? Why are we seeing these people instead of Lambert putting Ethan Page & Sky over. I don't get it.
Jabroni Jack Swagger isn't beating Junior dos Santos or Andrei Arlovski, ever. So why are they there?
I'm a huge MMA fan, but if we aren't mixing the talent, why are they there?
