I wasn’t familiar with their stuff prior to AEW and this gimmick, coupled with the “Cutler as Meltzer” gimmick, is hitting all the right notes for me. I know it’s very early into things, but still, to long-time fans of Matthew and Nicholas: is this their best work? If not, what is?
And I just want to add that I think they’re going to channel Tony Khan and start awkwardly hugging people soon. Matthew did the finger gun on Rampage which I’m pretty sure is a Tony gesture. Next up: weird hugs.
It’s really just their “trolling the fans/working the marks” thing they’ve been doing off and on for years being brought front and center to TV with some “EVP flavor” mixed in.
It’s such a simple but effective gimmick.
What if we were what whiny ass twitter users said we are?
