The CMV forums are teeming with posts as Ascendance is right around the corner, we take a look at the top post today...

Rhys Matthews’ gimmick has been doing his 'former undisputed champion' gimmick for 2 years now and it's completely stale, anyone else agree? - submitted 3 hours ago by Dante_Tater_Tot

Basically the title, what are your guys’ thoughts on this?

100% agree, it’s got to the point where if I hear his theme I just instantly mute or change channels, it’s gotten so tedious and he’s basically a comedy jobber now. Thank god they don’t give him any more screen time than they already do.

He’s been getting no reaction from the crowd for weeks now, you think CMV would have realised the problem but they obviously haven’t. He desperately needs a gimmick change, maybe the crowd just need to boo the fuck out of him for them to get it, just boring at this point.

Yeah, I really think he’s past the point of redemption, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in the next batch of releases from the company.

It all went downhill after his loss to Ricky Spanish at Ascendance, obviously creative had a plan but then scrapped it, leaving Rhys in limbo with his character, feel bad for the guy, but he does need to try something else soon.

Oh, is Rhys the wrestler we hate now? It’s hard to keep up because we change it every month.

I actually still enjoy his ‘former undisputed champion’ gimmick, he just needs a few things to freshen it up.
