3 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (April 12 - Results & Review)

2. Leave The Comb At Home

Someone have a word with pro wrestlers.

Angelo Parker was scheduled for a vicious grudge match vs. Zak Knight on Rampage, but you wouldn't have known that during his entrance. The babyface came to the ring slicking back his hair like he normally does, and even flashed a smile at the camera before pulling out a comb. Hmm.

This is nitpicking to the extreme, but it's important that wrestlers pay attention to even the tiniest details and react accordingly. Parker knew he was probs going to be in for one hell of a fight against a brutal Brit, but he performed his usual 'handsome man' entrance routine anyway. It didn't suit the presentation here at all.

Bianca Belair has been guilty of this over on the WWE side too. Beaten up by Damage CTRL earlier in the night and eager for revenge, the 'EST' shows that by twirling her braid and dancing with a smile to the ring. Wrestlers need to stop it, and start paying attention.
