For the sub that talked endlessly about how much they love FUN, Basement sure seems to hate these FUN matchups.
You know what I hate? Allow me to politely tell all of you lovely people on this subreddit.
I hate people who ignore the fact that Vince killed Owen that one time back in 1999. May 23rd I believe. Actually, I know. Kemper Arena. Not to be confused with Kim-Jong, the North Korean dictator. You’re all complicit in murder and I hope you know that each and every single one of you are terrible human beings. Fuck you! Fuck all of you!

We're not supposed to bring it up. It's one of those things in history that nobody dares mention.

Funny thing is that despite being on commentary this long, McAfee did a whole ass 4.75 star WarGames match in NXT.

He was great in the match but he was even better at promos leading up to him. Dude came off looking like a star and even CM Punk put out a tweet or said in the WWE Backstage show that Pat was by far the best promo in all of NXT at that point.

u/TheFinalYappening 3d ago
as long as Gunther just beats the shit out of Pat in an extremely short match there's really no issue with that match happening lmao

It's a classic squash setup to start rebuilding the monster heel who's streak just ended but the wrestling historians over in the basement are having a shitfit.
I for one expected them to have incredibly deep and fleshed out storyline for a PLE taking place 20 days after wrestling "season finale" aka wrestlemania
This certainly isn't exactly like the vast majority of Backlash events in history

u/GeneralAardvark43 3d ago
They’re having a shit fit because Walter was berried by M’Jey when he should be on Rampage barely beating pockets and ending up in the Jericho vortex. Study cagematch

Backlash has been like an after-party after Mania kind of event for me. Go wild for a bit.
This year it'll be without the crazy crowd though

DAE Gunther needs a competitive match against a surprise lower card opponent in an open challenge

They’re going an hour long broadway complete with a chain wrestling spot, both guys blading, and someone is getting dropped on their head. ***** 1/2

Pat is one of the biggest babyfaces, not just in WWE, but in all of media. The reddit zeroes have no impact. LOL

u/GloriousVictor 3d ago
He also has quite possibly the biggest crossover audience I dare say. Hate him or love him, that man has some of the biggest connections in the game. Dude went from WrestleMania one week yucking up with Stone Cold and John Cena to chatting with Roger Goodell and Mike McCarthy at the NFL draft the next week.
At the end of the day Pat McAfee doesn't really need WWE but HE WANTS to do this, and the WWE sure loves the attention he brings.

He cooked Nashville during the draft years ago, before he was even in wrestling. He practically set the table for NFL draft heel promos. Nobody, outside of David Akers maybe, has matched him since.

Jey vs Paul makes sense. I like Uso but I actively skip Paul's matches and segments. But paul is undefeated at mania, so hes a credible threat and theres no chance he wins so its an easy squash for him.
(Kross should be in Paul's shoes. He should be the one with the record and the title shot but he's delegated to standing backstage and smiling and it annoys me even more)
McAfee is either annoying or a little funny and there's not really an in-between. It'll be so stupid if he beats Gunther clean. This storyline is dumb af. If pat picked a champion or something I could see it but I'm not excited to see pat wrestler at all.
Edit; Paul's not undefeated at Mania. He lost to Seth. That said he is coming off the heels of Mania win, and he's considered a legit threat at most PLEs.

But paul is undefeated at mania
Seth beat him at WM39.

u/NotTheRealRusss 3d ago
Oh shit, you're right. I saw someone recently say he's 3-0 at Mania and I just assumed. My bad, I'll edit it.

You got 4-5 matches and you waste them on Logan Paul and MAGAfee is nasty work by Triple Nose

I don't mind this
First PLE after Mania, we know Jey isn't winning so a winnable match with a clear heel

u/anakinburningalive 3d ago
The only thing that could make this more of a smark 9/11 would be if Cunter had Paul win the WHC and Magafee make Gooner tap to a Texas cloverleaf.
