Former jobbers currently looking like stars

[Rudy Gobert Fadeaway]

I thought this would be fun cause Impact is on rn and I can't believe how legit this dude Cody Deaner looks in the present day



Like that was literally the king of the bums that ODB hooked up with after he won a horrific game show on a PPV! How the f***

[jordo34]

Any jobber can look good if actually booked properly and not booked to look like a complete idiot

[Red Mage Riot]

I feel like "like a star" might be a bit overselling it, but imagine telling someone ten years ago that Johnny Swinger would be one of Impact's most entertaining acts.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Not a complete jobber but close enough but Matt Cardona has looked and done some cool work since leaving the WWE.

[Mozenrath]

Sort of going abstract with it here: WWE never really presented Ivory as one of the prettiest of their women. They didn't call her ugly or anything, but she was one of the older ones, and they treated her accordingly.

Nowadays, she looks fantastic, probably by virtue of looking almost exactly the same as she ever has.

He's still a goober I can't take seriously. He's gone from making goofy faces in an awful VBD faction to being leader in the just as bad The Design. This is the only part of Impact I think is awful.

Cody recently met Bob Backlund at a local library I think at his kids school. He doesn't indicate telling Bob he was a wrestler, but that doesn't mean he didn't. Seem like he was simply acting like a regular fan. He had a great experience with Bob and his wife and Bob gave him a signed copy of his book.

She looked tremendous in her Royal Rumble appearance last year.... even in the RTC clothes. LOL

Cody is cool as hell. Worked a local show last year. Was suprised then learned he was in the area visiting his wife's family.

Was a bit surprisedd to learn his hometown up in Canada is smaller than the town the show was in.

Also dude knows how to read the crowd. He came out and in 30 seconds,was in a three way with 2 locals,realized the only people that knew who he was were the ring crew,camera people and security.

So Deanerr heeled it up and had a fun match.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Ok might be my age. But have thought Ivory was stunning since she was in GLOW.

Wish she worked more indies.

[kingoftheindies]

to go with the Impact theme? Maclin. Went from the least known guy in the Forgotten Sons to being a legit main event talent that is likely the favorite to dethrone Josh Alexander as Impact champ

I said it last year and I'll say it again. Ivory was the highlight of a great 2022 women's Rumble. Also agree that she looked amazing. Like she hasn't aged in the near 20 years she's been gone from WWE.

[PKO]

Here was Ivory at WWE Evolution when she was a month away from 57 years old!

Maclin is my go to answer for why I couldn’t do McBooking anymore.  D’Amore brought him in cold and I gave a shit about him after not too long.  He didn’t even book anything special.  Just let him destroy jobbers for a while…gave him a winning streak and let him do some cool shit.  Built up his first loss well.  And now his storyline of getting passed over for title shots despite beating former champions and being on a roll is great.  They’re going to take him from zero to me anticipating a war with Alexander with just simple, effective storytelling.

He looked like he had nothing to offer in WWE

The Design is Dollar Tree version of the Schism.

[canceled4truth]

As someone who did not watch a single wrestling show from 2014 to 2021 I had to check multiple times if the original Drew McIntyre died and a different guy was playing him

[Cyno]

Maclin in Impact looks like a killer. He's been great since being let go by WWE.
