    This man belongs in a pro wrestling ring, it doesn't matter in front of how many people, just for the sheer amount of experience and kindness he has. Welcome back Mr. Hero! And thank you Bryan for the excellent work as always. 👏🏻

    A brilliant come back story doc, I have always felt you should be a million subs ahead of where you are. No one does wrestling online like this channel does and Brian, thanks for another absolute banger production. Chris clearly deserves the respect, this is a phenomenal way of showing it.

      It’s always been the best for me. Most digestible, comedic content about. Nothing long in the tooth and truly fan-centric. I completely forgot I liked wrestling until I happened to type classic PPV in YT search about 5 years ago and the Z-man relit a fire

    Now I can see why folks like Brian Keith are so good ! I always hoped for one last KOW vs Briscoes match . But that is impossible now . But KOW vs FTR isn't !!!! Regardless I hope Hero keeps kicking ass and teaching the new wave of wrestlers how to do it right . The more people that learn from him the better !

    I’m really glad that it’s finally explained to me that Chris Hero and Big Bill are not the same person. I’m not sure why I thought they were! Is W. Morrissey a different person altogether?

    Not that I expect it to happen anytime soon, but all I kept thinking was with 3 1/2 years away, Chris Hero hadn't wrestled in longer than Roman Reigns has been champion. What a clash that could be if those two paths converged, given that Hero was originally supposed to be part of The Shield before Reigns, plus Punk being back in WWE, the story practically writes itself.

      If you’ve got the means, go back and watch his work in ring of honor and CHIKARA from the first decade of the 2000s. He was tagged with Claudio Castagnoli as the Kings of Wrestling and did some solo stuff as a face and heel alike. Easily in the upper crust of the era’s indie workers, and he was a contemporary to folks like Eddie Kingston, the Briscoes, and CM Punk.

    Brian, how much do you think his weight gain hurt him being pushed in NXT? Not that I feel it should matter, but we know how Vince is all about aesthetics. Great work, as always, Chris is one of the great ones in and out of the ring.

    • @gabepollock1641
      @gabepollock1641 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not who you asked, but I always figured Hero never would’ve gotten much of a look even if it weren’t for the change in aesthetics. He worked such a specific style that I don’t think Vince or anyone in Stamford deemed marketable. His mind for the business is second to none, though, and I’d like to think WWE always meant for him to slide into that role. The trouble is that Chris could still go, and I don’t think WWE had ever dealt with that kind of personality in developmental.

    Honestly surprised there wasn't a take on Lex Luger's "I'll Be Your Hero" tribute song. Instead of "You are my hero" & "I will be your hero" it could have been "You are Chris Hero" & "I will be Chris Hero", and I mean that in an completely endearing way. Beyond that, though, cool to see Chris back in the ring, and to see so many regard him so reverently.
