Video summary
The video addresses a common misconception within the wrestling community regarding the term "buried," arguing that its loose usage on social media often misrepresents a wrestler's actual status in WWE storylines. The host critiques how fans frequently label any wrestler who is not winning every match or facing immediate victory as being "buried," even when they are actively receiving significant attention and high-profile opportunities. This specific discussion centers on Oba Femi, whose recent matches against multiple opponents like Bronson Reed, Braun Strowman, and Austin Theory have led some to believe he is being written off. The creator contends that this interpretation is flawed because Oba has not officially lost a single match since his encounter with Brock Lesnar, having either won or been disqualified in every subsequent bout, which contradicts the definition of being buried.
The core argument presented is that the intense attacks Oba Femi is enduring are actually a sign of protection rather than abandonment, as WWE utilizes multiple high-caliber opponents to showcase his resilience and build momentum for a future championship run. The host points out that if Oba were truly being written off, he would be relegated to losing matches against lower-tier talent or performing in non-competitive scenarios, similar to how Johnny Gargano and Dean Ambrose were treated before their departures or exits from the company. Instead, Oba is facing a faction of formidable threats who are trying to take him down but failing to immobilize him permanently, a narrative strategy designed to elevate his status rather than diminish it. The video emphasizes that punishing a wrestler for receiving positive attention from Brock Lesnar makes no logical sense in professional wrestling logic, especially given Lesnar's history of putting over other stars like Cody Rhodes.
Ultimately, the transcript concludes that Oba Femi is far from being buried and is instead positioned as a major future champion, likely targeting the WWE World Heavyweight or Undisputed titles before potentially facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The host encourages viewers to stop blindly hating Triple H or assuming negative booking decisions without understanding the long-term storytelling plans involved in high-profile feuds. By analyzing the specific matches and storyline developments, the video asserts that Oba is being set up for a massive push rather than being discarded, inviting fans to appreciate the current narrative build-up while waiting for his eventual title shot. The creator ends by asking the audience for their opinions on whether they believe Oba is truly buried or if they recognize the setup for a championship run, reinforcing the idea that patience is required to see the full picture of WWE's booking strategy.

What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross
back at again with another video. So, we
got another episode of stupidity in the
IWC, the never ending saga. And I seen
something today that I wanted to talk to
you guys about cuz when I see these type
of posts, especially
these specific posts that overuse the
term buried,
it grinds my gears. I'm not going to lie
to you. especially when
the person that they're saying is buried
is far from it. In fact, they're using
the term so loosely nowadays, especially
on social media, where they feel like
any and everybody that's not getting
pushed a specific way is not winning
every single match and not coming out on
top in every single situation, they're
buried. And that's not the case. And
I've seen these posts so many times, but
this one was pretty egregious. Let me
show you what I'm talking about. So,
someone I don't know who this account
is, uh, they ended up posting this.
BroncSlam
Fei is the future. One month later,
Triple H. Well, uh, listen, man. Uh,
that wasn't the script. Uh, we just need
to we just needed you to have a strong
last opponent. Uh, so now we're going to
have to bury him. Uh, I tried to mimic
Triple H's voice. And this is what they
posted. They're really burying Oba Fami
all because Brock Lesnar went off script
and said Oba was the future. I hate it
here. So I ended up responding. He is
not getting buried. Y'all love to throw
this term around so loosely.
The idea
that because Brock Lesnar
said Obi Oh, I said Obie. Oba was the
future and he went off script and showed
uh some love to Oba.
That is why a month later they having
this guy get beat up. Not lose.
He's getting beat up by division and a
returning member in Bronson Reed who
they have tried and for the past few
years has made him this big threat and
they're trying to bring him back into
the fold as this big threat with a heel
faction team
that once again Oba has not officially
lost to because he got B um Braun
Breaker got disqualified. at Sunday
night's main event. He's getting beat up
by multiple men. He's buried.
That's why he's getting buried because
Brock went off script. Even though uh if
I'm not mistaken,
I think Triple H had talked about how
Brock and Oba had gotten close and Brock
was really taking Oba under his wing.
Triple H said that himself.
Why the [ __ ] would they just be burying
him to punish him for what Brock said
off script? We've seen Brock do this
before. He did it with Cody where he
went off script and showed him some
love. This is what Brock does. He
literally did it at WrestleMania
putting over Oba.
I'm confused.
Why would that even be punished? That
makes no sense to punish a guy
from somebody else putting him over in
his last match.
What?
That makes no sense. And once again,
he's not buried. He's getting beaten up.
And even further, if you've been paying
attention to what they've been doing
with Oba,
every time he's getting attacked by
Bronson Reed, Bronn Breaker, and Austin
Theory, whatever the case may be, any
three of them, because we know Logan
can't really do anything physical.
He's still getting up or still trying to
fight to get up. He took multiple
tsunamis at Saturday night's main event
and was still trying to get up. He took
multiple tsunamis and spears
tonight. Well, last night, Monday Night
Raw, and he was still trying to get up.
Even per storyline,
The Vision started off Monday Night Raw
as if they had gotten rid of Braun
Breaker. I mean, not Braun Breaker, they
gotten rid of Oba.
They thought, "Oh, we ain't going to
ever see Oba again." They said that and
then they were surprised when Oba was
looking for him. And then after the
attack on Monday Night Raw, they went to
go gloat talking about we got rid of Oba
and Paul Heyman's like if he's still is
he still breathing
and they all like well you know yeah
then Paul's like the job's not done.
Like what are we what are we talking
about?
It takes multiple finishes, multiple
moves, high impact moves, and he's still
not immobilized.
That's not being buried. That's being
protected.
It's a difference.
When they're sending multiple people
to pack up one person, that means
they're protecting you. That means
that's telling the audience it took
Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Braun
Breaker to put him down. Three guys
really Austin Theory is just cannon
father, but it's Bronson Reed and Braun
Breaker. Two formidable opponents to
take him down.
That's what that means. He's not buried,
guys, guys and girls. Anybody that
believes this rhetoric, you just want it
to be your way. Or you just wanting to
blindly hate Triple H cuz that's the
easy thing to do. And I'm not up here
trying to sit up here and be like, "Oh,
I'm I'm defending WWE and Triple H." No,
I'm defending Logic.
Triple H has his fair share of faults,
but this ain't one of them. He's not
buried. Stop it, guys. Let the story
play the [ __ ] out.
We know the end result. We know where
they want him to go. We know ultimately
Roman is probably the final destination
for Oba. So, this is something to hold
him over until we get to that point and
I'm okay with it and I'm enjoying it.
But to sit up here and think because a
guy got beat up, he's buried. Once
again, he hasn't even lost. The only
person that's beaten is [ __ ] Brock
Lesnar still. He didn't even lose that
match if you really want to break it
down even more. Braun Breaker really
doesn't even look any better than he did
before Sunday night's main event because
he had to have somebody assist him and
he still lost the match. So, it doesn't
make you really the future. You lost.
You got disqualified.
We know they were going to run it back
at some point. It does seem like Oba
will probably get his revenge at Money
in the Bank, which I can't [ __ ] wait.
And then they'll probably set up
something at Survivor Series. So, or
maybe uh I think they got Crown Jewel
before Survivor Series if I'm not
mistaken. Nevertheless, though, he's not
buried. Guys, can we stop this? I've
seen this so many times over the years
where people who do not like a certain
decision or is not going their way, they
automatically assume, "Oh, he's buried."
You want to know a wrestler that was
buried and just recently somewhat
somewhat just a little bit got out of
got out of the grave. Johnny Gargano, he
was buried because all they had him
doing is laying on [ __ ] production
crates majority of this year. He just
recently was resurrected in his hometown
to face CM Punk in a great main event
recently. And I hope he doesn't go back
into the grave. He was buried. That's
buried. When you're sitting there and
they give you [ __ ] and you're not
doing anything, we're not talking about
having a match. He wasn't even having a
match to lose. He was just sitting and
laying on crates while his wife sitting
there trying to get him to snap out of
it for months.
That was buried.
What they did to Dean Ambrose before he
left for AEW,
all the [ __ ] they had him doing and
having him lose to Nia Jax, that was
buried. Usually they'll bury you if they
don't plan on using you or you're about
to leave the company. You'll start
losing matches.
You'll start getting squashed
or you'll just be doing dumb [ __ ] to the
point where it's it's just utterly
embarrassing.
That's buried. Not a guy in a
highprofile situation soloing a whole
damn faction.
He's literally going against a whole
entire faction by himself and still
trying to fight them, but he's buried
even though he hasn't lost a match since
Brock Lesnar beat him.
We got to stop this, guys. We We got to
do better. Trust and believe Oba is far
from buried. In fact, he's heavily
protected. And you can tell he is the
guy that they're going to be pushing to
the moon. He's the guy as of right now
that even the fans want to see as
champion.
Just let it cook up, y'all. I can only
imagine how crazy things are going to
get once Oba does become WWE
World Heavyweight Champion or maybe he
goes for the WWE Undisputed
Championship. However plays out, I can
only imagine it's only going to be a
matter of time until fans start turning
on Oba, too.
They already saying he's buried now and
he's not even buried. Wait till he
becomes champion. It's GG's. But
nevertheless, comment down below. Let me
know
how do you guys feel about Oba right
now. Do you guys really genuinely
believe he's buried or do y'all feel
like they're just setting things up?
He's buying his time, having this feud,
building up, you know, his momentum to
uh until they have most likely face
Roman at next year's Wrestlemania
possibly. Let me know how y'all feeling
about Oba's booking so far. I appreciate
all love support. Road two 200K.
Appreciate you. Give me next one. Peace.
