A few clarifiers:

  • by Bad, I mean gimmicks the “IWC” were broadly negative towards
  • by liked, I don’t mean ironically
  • no one ever actually liked the Gobbledy Gooker

    I didn’t get Eddie at first - and I had very little exposure to him before AEW, literally one match - but when someone in the other place described him as “the only person left who absolutely believes wrestling is real” I’ve loved him.

    He brings so much sincerity to everything he does, you can’t help but see it as being real. His character work is incredible, or, he really is exactly how he seems.
