I always felt like Alex Marvez was supposed to be a huge dork character…and then I realized that wasn’t intentional. And they must have realized how it was coming off. I forget his name, but it reminded me of WCW when they would have this dorky guy call in from random cities hosting Nitro parties. You’d never see video of him. Just a still image of his face, and audio quality that you could tell was artificially made to sound like a phone line.
So they stopped using Alex Marvez. Not sure why they didn’t lean into the dorky character…but they didn’t.
As for Lexy, I don’t know who that is. Probably because ROH has like 3 viewers.
I mean, they kinda did. There was that one time he interviewed Joey Janela during the breakup/feud with Sonny Kiss. You know, the infamous “Nip Factory” promo.
I’ll have to google that later. I don’t know what the “nip factory” is.
Also, unrelated to the topic, but related to your comment…
Why did Joey Janella not last longer in AEW??? ESPECIALLY at a time when they only had Jericho as a big name? Their roster wasn’t bloated back then. Granted they only had 1 show instead of 3, but still.
Joey was never exclusive to AEW, so he may have only wanted to work so many dates as he was still doing GCW and every-other-indie-on-the-continent at the time which usually leads to you being ‘the occasional booking’. Same as a normal job, if you’re available only in the mornings, only on weekdays, you aren’t getting shifts.
Based on interviews he did after he left he prefers working the indies as he is since he gets to be his own boss and has already been booking his own shows for years, instead of dealing with backstage politics/having a boss/etc.
It’s a factory… FULL OF NIPS!
