Alright, let me tell you how I ended up spending a chunk of my afternoon looking into this Angelo Dawkins guy. It wasn’t planned, not at all. It started, like many things these days, with just scrolling online, trying to kill some time between actual work stuff.
I landed on some random sports highlights page. Usually, I skip the wrestling stuff, not really my thing since I was a kid. But this clip popped up. It wasn’t even a full match, just some entrance thing. You had this dude, later found out it was Dawkins, just bursting with energy. Like, way over the top. Jumping around, wearing this distinctive headband, yelling something I couldn’t quite make out at first.
Digging In A Bit
So, I watched it again. Curiosity got the better of me. What was he yelling? Sounded like ‘We want the smoke!’ Okay, weird catchphrase, but memorable. The energy was kinda infectious, gotta admit. It reminded me of those guys who are just naturally hyped up all the time. So, I thought, ‘Okay, who is this?’
Did a quick search. Angelo Dawkins. Part of a tag team, The Street Profits. Makes sense, tag teams usually have these high-energy entrances. I started clicking around, watching a few more clips. Not entire matches, mind you, mostly entrances and highlight reels. It’s a whole performance.
Observations I noted down:
- The Headband: Almost always there. Part of the look.
- The Energy: Non-stop. Even just standing on the apron, he’s moving.
- ‘The Smoke’: That’s their main catchphrase, apparently. They even had these red cups sometimes.
- Athleticism: For a bigger guy, he moves surprisingly quick. Saw a few clips of him doing flips and stuff in the ring.
The Takeaway
So, yeah, that was my little dive into Angelo Dawkins. Started from a random clip, ended up watching maybe 20 minutes of entrances and highlights. Didn’t make me a huge wrestling fan overnight or anything, but I get the appeal now. It’s pure entertainment, pure energy. The whole ‘smoke’ thing is catchy marketing, gotta give them that. It’s all about the showmanship. Just kinda interesting to see how these performers build a whole persona. Anyway, that was the rabbit hole for today. Back to regular stuff now.
