Whoevers idea it was to turn Elias into a bland guy in white trunks should be fired immediately. If you look at the Ezekiel gimmick and think 'bland guy in white trunks' you are somehow operating at a lower level than WWE creative, which is really saying something. Whoever had the idea for this gimmick deserves their own show on Lucha Underground on Peacock. Give them exclusive creative power over 205 Live or something The thing is, I don't believe this story has a payoff. It's just gonna gradually result in "Generic Elias in white trunks" - That's it. If it results in Elias returning and smacking someone with a Guitar? The pop will be huge. But it's Vince. That won't happen. |

Did they ever explain how Elias died? Murded by a Mexican vagabond wearing a disguise. |

I'm talking about the ones he wore last night, was it some homage to the Ultimate Warrior? On a side note, WWE.com still has the Elias entry up. Actually just seen this. The late Elias could have passed for a modern day Randy Savage. Brother Ezekiel favoured Savage's rival the Ultimate Warrior. Makes sense. |

That was no vagabond..... that was El Generico on the run from faking the orphanage & orphans, he's been ending anyone who recognises him for a while now. Netflix are going to do a three part documentary on the whole thing, "Headlocks to Deadlocks: The El Generico story" his rise to fame, the outpouring of good will and donations for his orphanage he "founded" in retirement and his trail of victims across the world as he attempts to evade the authorities. |

Echoing a youtube comment I read - Ezekiel is bringing that 80s Golden Era energy.
I now think Zeke should dethrone Roman

Maybe if it were a Midnight Rider/Yellow Dog/Giant Machine/Mr. America situation where Elias got suspended and "twin brother" Ezekiel takes his place to skirt the ruling. Or maybe if Elias had, say, exhausted all his title shots, and "Ezekiel" was his way of sneaking back into contention. I'd even accept "Elias hit his head and got amnesia and now thinks he's his own twin brother." This is a lot of work and commitment just for "LOLZ, MIND GAMES ON OWENS," even if it does end up with Elias returning. |

Like at best I can see a one off gag like the end of Santina, where in Kayfabe Ezekial really is Elias's brother but even then like... that would require Elias to regrow his beard real quick <_< |
