Sami Zayn didn’t make this decision, it was made for him.

It was made by wrestling “fans” who decided to rally behind people like Trick Williams and Danhausen and every other waste of space wrestler that hides behind their presentation or some washed-up rapper or whatever else they use as a substitute for skill. To Sami, there is no substitute for skill - not heart, not charisma, not popularity, not a loud entrance, not face paint, not big stupid flashy moves, nothing.

Sami admits he’s an asshole now, but he doesn’t care. He’s a professional wrestler and, like it or not, he will drag Smackdown back to its former glory kicking and screaming - starting by redeeming Johnny Gargano.

In essence, Sami Zayn’s heel character isn’t an outright heel, just a complete dick who only cares about titles and accomplishments. He won’t ever cheat or hide behind a faction, it’s just him and Gargano - two jaded ass-kickers out to win gold, make money, and humiliate anyone they see as beneath them.

They start their run as a tag team by, immediately, crushing Damien Priest and R-Truth for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Sami and Gargano dissect them, singling out R-Truth and nailing him with every signature move the two have. I don’t think there’s a better way for instant heel heat than beating the dogshit out of R-Truth.

From there, I dunno. I think Sami vs Cody as a tag feud would be cool, but I don’t know who Cody’s partner would be

Fantastic Four: First Steps reveals Doctor Doom!…several months after he was publicly announced for the MCU.

The Fantastic Four arrive on Earth-199999 at the end of the Thunderbolts!… again, months after they were confirmed to be part of the next Avengers movie.

The Super Mario Brothers Movie ends with… Yoshi. Who goes on to have almost no significance to the plot of the sequel.

See what I’m getting at? Albiet, I haven’t exactly been watching every damn movie that’s come out, but I don’t think it’s been worth waiting for the end of the credits for years. Half the scenes are short jokes and the other half tease characters that don’t really excite me (or most other people, I’d imagine).

Like, Thor 4 ends with the reveal of the MCU’s Hercules? How’s he supposed to factor into anything going forward? Thor 5’s probably never happening and, even then, Hercules would be such a lame villain for it.

Just listing lame MCU post credits reveals:
- Wong breaking Abomination out of jail
- Everything concerning Venom
- “Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!”
- T’Challa’s son, also named T’Challa
- Who the fuck is Clea?
- Blade getting a tease that will never be followed up on
- Kang. Everything to do with Kang

The last good MCU tease, I’d say, was in Spider-Man: Far From Home - when Mysterio reveals Spider-Man is Peter Parker.

See the difference? The FFH reveal actually means something. It has immediate ramifications, it’s something no Spider-Man movie’s ever done before, it actually makes the audience wonder “what the hell happens next?!”

I assure you that Daisy, the Super Mario Galaxy post credits reveal, won’t mean shit in upcoming threequel. Yeah, she’ll be there, but what Daisy storylines would they adapt? What character traits is she gonna have? How does she expand the universe in a meaningful way? Let me answer:

She has no storylines, Peach already has all her character traits, and she won’t.

Post Credits scenes are honestly just embarrassing these days. It’s hard to top all-timer failed teases like Superman confronting Black Adam or a Madison Square Garden full of Kangs, but they keep fucking trying!

Like, what *if* Goldberg had hair?

Goldust wouldn’t have gave him a wig when they first met on Raw, so Goldberg’s entire WWE run changes in this alternate timeline.

Because of da hair, Goldberg replaces Triple H as Vince’s son-in-law, and without Triple H around to commit necrophilia, Kane beats Chief Morley at No Mercy ‘02 to become a triple-champ.

And then, instead of Triple H bullying the Tough Enough guys, Test does it and shows a video of him kicking Triple H’s ass
