Not sure if this has been discussed here before, but I just got finished listening to Jim Cornette's AEW review and he went BALLISTIC on Marko Stunt again. Really entertaining to hear. So this raises the question, how do you feel about Marko Stunt? I have seen and understand both sides, but I see what they are doing with him and it doesn't completely turn me away from the product. He plays his role as a small little jumping character pretty well in my opinion. So what do you guys think?  |

There's been smallboi wrestlers for decades and I don't see how Marko specifically is pissing people off. It's getting ridiculous, honestly. People need to stop bitching and let people enjoy things.

I really like the dude. He is fun to watch, and if you listen to the CVV interview, puts the little guy vs big guy physics psychology in his matches. It did seem he got the crowd bummed he was being just so abused in the lucha bros match this week. He had them on his side...

he’s not gonna land in my top ten - but he’s different, he’s talented, and I haven’t seen a crowd not get behind him yet.
so far I think his handling has been excellent in aew.

It seriously looked like a 7th grader jumped into the ring and started hitting flying headscissors and 450 splashes on the Lucha Brothers. And then he started doing that stupid dance. Its just embarassing.

Though i dont have the passion and anger that Cornette had in his rant, this is one of few times i agreed with him 100%. And look, hes a nice kid, but he has no business going toe to toe with Pentagon. Then again, this is not the worst case of unrealistic Marko Stunt booking. MLW once booked Marko Stunt to go almost 9 mins with 450 lb Ace Romero, and got almost half the offense.

I’m a fan. Him being smaller allows for lots of cool and creative spots.

I don't like him with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. When they first got going I felt like they were gaining momentum and were a great double act, then this third guy suddenly pops up and the dynamic changes. Jungle Boy is supposed to be an uncivilised wildling and Luchasaurus is a civillised and educated dinosaur, there's a comedy and a natural connection in that relationship - What's Stunt's place in that little narrative? He's just a bloke.
I'd like to see him in a different role, really.

I have decided to play a kind of 6th degrees of Marko Stunt to make this narrative fit...I like the guy and in that tandem, so this is just a fun joke. I realized he looks a lot like the little girl in the og Jurassic Park (the one in the jeep...the faces are similar  ) soooo... theoretically she just stayed behind and made friends with the dinos (and as a human that could theoretically drive since she had exposure to automobiles, unlike Jungle Boy....ala the express), they fell through a loony tunes time warp into george of the jungle and made friends with jb. Ok, I know this is a horrriiibbbbllleee explanation, but it is still real to me guys. Lol VPV |

He's cool. Not anywhere near my top 25 favorite wrestlers, but I enjoy watching him.

Marko Stunt is part of the problem AEW has, where the majority of the people running it assume that the people already know who everyone is. They just put a 105 lb kid in the ring with Pentagon Jr and Rey Fenix, and expects the viewers to accept that a 105 lb kid could take on Pentagon. Why should the fans care about Marko Stunt? What has AEW done to build Marko up as a character? In fact, other than Britt Baker last week, who has AEW built up as a character that aren't involved with the Elite, as partners or enemies? And also, a guy like Marko should be getting his ass kicked 95% of the match, not getting almost equal offense with anyone except people his size.

I see him as spike Dudley with acrobatics. He definitely should be just the guy that follows jungle boy anf luchasaurus around rather than being in too many matches but imo he did orite replacing the injured big man this week. Wouldnt have been as happy if they'd won the match though.

I can't believe people listen to cornynette, guy is a complete joke. None of his opinions matter. What doesn't he hate? He's like a 4chan sh*tposter for the sake of attention.

He could easily be AEW's version of what ECW had with Mikey Whipwreck.
