Sammy Guevara seems like a moron but surprised Kingston was so sensitive towards weight comments considering it’s pro wrestling. Maybe he just hates Guevara and that was the final straw
Pro wrestling is cosmetic, wrestlers get their height/weight/hair/tattoos and everything in between criticised from day one with wrestlers with best physiques normally getting a big push. So surely Kingston had to deal with that from the start.

Guevara also completely sucks. He’s the most generic boy band looking creep I’ve ever seen, he can’t talk, he can’t work, what’s the point? If Guevara is a pillar no wonder it’s starting to crumble. I never thought he should have been named a pillar in the first place. He got pushed hard and fast and has been nothing but a nuisance ever since. He's the definition of a spot monkey and while his matches are ok, there's far more talented people on the roster than him that can do all the same things. And the man was gifted with the most punchable face I've ever seen and they try to force him down our throats as a face for 6 months. The hell are they thinking? I'm starting a separate thread for the pillars discussion because I'd like to hear other opinions on it and can see that discussion taking off.

They're more like The Four Pillocks. One of them wants to rape everyone in sight (and is also awful). One of them pays addicts to put their face in filthy toilets (and is also awful). One of them seems to have completely vanished from existence (he's good though TBH). One of them is Jungle Boy. Sorry RT, you can fling this over to the pillar thread if you want!

Britt is playing mean girl high school drama with people. Sammy is being Sammy Jungle Boy is getting Whated by the crowd. MJF is MIA So that leaves Darby trying to hold everything up alone.
I really should have refreshed the page first. This isn't quiz bowl @aaron shouldn't beat me here too.

Yeah, he is getting so much fucking heat from this Eddie on twitter is asking people to leave him alone.
I think Sammy has a ton of talent but we seen a dozen plus guys just as talented as Sammy become flash in a pan hits because their ego takes them out of the game entirely.

Thunder Rosa has turned off her social media apparently. I guess this back injury has hindered her ability to post on twitter.
All that hardwork sandbagging, breaking noses and coup de gracing people's heads in has caught up with her.

I'm exaggerating but I do think he can take on some of the wrestlers/parkour wrestlers. Of course the Lesnar's, Hager's, Benjamin's, Lashley's.....no. Glenn Gilberti/Disco Inferno proving why he's such a badass. I know he's the court jester of the IWC but sometimes he brings some cold hard truths.....Eddie Kingston got butthurt on social media Trolls aren't bad-asses.
Still, he got Eddie to bite and Disco is far from alone in that assessment.
I don't think everybody needs to be in shape. Foley is one of my all-time favourites and he found other ways to get over. But even Foley recognised when he needed to put in a big performance that he had to take better care of himself and would point that out when guys like Hogan would attack him.
He has a different point of view but Disco isn't really a troll, he's just anti-smark and thus runs into a lot of clashes with the IWC because of it. I listen to him and Konnan's podcast sometimes, Disco does bring up some fair points it's just he was such a gimmick back in the 90's and was Vince Russo's right hand man that everyone just shits on him instantly when he starts to talk. Hence why he feels sorta like the court jester even though he does bring up some fair points. Disco is mainly saying if your fat & out of shape than don't be angry when people online point out that you are. And if you take offense to it, workout or take better care of yourself instead of getting defensive in the wrestling industry. There's been tons of big guys wrestlers who were never chiseled but very few really got up in their feelings when presented as to being big or round.

The guy has been 'working' the smarks for well over a decade at this point. He used to write for websites online and would revel in pissing off internet fans. It's clear he takes delight in being a provocoter and there's a name for people like that and it's troll. I listen to Keepin It 100 as well, I don't dislike the guy but just calling a spade a spade.
Again, Eddie would have been wise to let it go, but as IM pointed out, Eddie doesn't have that in him.

Jeez, everyone is kicking the guy when he's down. Freddie Prinz Jr. has come out saying, Punk " wasn't loved " backstage. And was essentially jealous of John Cena's position in the company. And implied Punk must have been bitching and moaning about how Cena " acted " and Triple H basically told Punk, he'd be acting the same way if he were on top, and this has haunted him since.
Road Dogg has come out, and said, despite little interaction he could see Punk was " hard to deal with " and this is history repeating itself.

That's because the Don Callis, Lance Storm's etc. would poke the bear because Disco isn't on board with every little thing. Even Cody Rhodes went unprovoked after him Disco knows certain things but again he is the court jester where his reputation isn't really built up as much as some others. He can throw a good punch, has a decent enough view for the business(He's Vince Russo but a little more controlled). He worked and sold for Luchadors in Mexico back when there was little to no real tape on them and was somewhat important for the WCW Cruiserweight division getting as far as it did. He was also a key cog in the early days of TNA backstage IIRC. Even Killer Kross said he's the practically Court Jester, which is what Inferno is.

It goes back further than KillingTheTown, Disco would write for smark sites and form contrarion opinions just to stir fans up.
You call it playing the fool.
I call it being a troll, which it is.
Also, I grew up on WCW - I know who Disco is and I know he's tight with Kross and pushes him everytime he can on Keepin It 100.

The only way he can stay relevant is by saying "controversial" stuff and then everyone on Twitter starts going on and on about him and then he loves the attention.
If he didn't do all the trolling stuff, no one would even remember him. He'd be in the same category as guys like Lash Leroux and Van Hammer.

I will not let this Disco Inferno hate stand. You jabronies really want me to turn Disco into the new BOBCORE? Let's go! If he didn't do all the trolling stuff, no one would even remember him. He'd be in the same category as guys like Lash Leroux and Van Hammer. A laughable take. Disco had a memorable gimmick and was all over tv during a 5 year WCW run which overlapped with the company's popularity peak. He was also a ratings draw... www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/75a0ut/wrestling_observer_rewind_oct_27_1997/Money Line: "For the last couple of months, Dave has been compiling all the quarter-hour ratings..... and just looking at the number, your top ratings draw is.....Disco Inferno." Then there's the time Disco disliker Kilgore had a conversation with an old school fan. As they were reminiscing this guy started rattling off names of all the MNW greats- Austin, Rock, Goldberg, Foley, Bret, HBK & DX, Taker, Kane, Sting, Hogan & the NWO, Flair & the Horsemen, Disco Inferno. lmao at jabroni Cody wanting some too. Only reason this Marty Jannetty of multiple teams didn't go the way of KC James is because he's Dusty's kid. Being over with the boys is actually good because it leads to a harmonious locker room (you hear that Punk?). And Cody the clown clearly never went to the 12/16/95 taping of Worldwide where Disco & Mr. Wonderful did more to get their characters over in under 5 minutes than Cody "Once Had A Mustache" Rhodes has done in his 15 years of mediocrity.

Scrub who could only ever get work in Chikara. Why he thinks so fondly of it.
Also if Disco has BOBCORE potential I would think you'd be okay with the idea you could be him. I mean I know when it comes to being a man I fail in every metric that is BOBCORE so I'd be flattered if someone thought I was.
Can I do a textbook dropkick? Nope, so it's not true.

It's not that being Disco is "bad." Just inauthentic. Like imagine @aaron sitting over there mistakenly thinking there aren't millions and MILLIONS of us Disco fans out there.

I think Disco does look to go against the grain but I do think he does believe in a lot of what he is saying because that's how he was raised in the wrestling industry. Same way Jim Cornette acts the way he does. Of course the exposure gives them money so they ham it up 10x but still I do think they believe in what they feel. Same with Eric Bischoff's detest for AEW. He was on their program before so it isn't like he was blackballed from the start, he just hates everything AEW is doing. I also think Khan saying Hulk Hogan is forever barred from AEW also didn't do any favor from Bischoff who is boys with Hogan.

If Foley is modest enough to say dozens and dozens I think Disco gotta be realtistic.
But like BOBCORE his interviews and SHOOTS do come across as cynical and anti-smark in nature. Maybe not "turn the channel" like Al Snow but also not entertaining like Nash.

It's weird because I'd go the occasional show, or get the occasional tape, of all the other 'cool' indies (ROH obviously, CZW, CHIKARA, IWA-MS, JAPW, ECWA) but I just never bothered with PWG. Maybe because I thought Super Dragon was a real life jerk?
