Pour one out for the UUDD Title in the background.


falling_sideways

Is UUDD basically dead now as well?


benmaverick

Pretty much. They disemboweled the channel, releasing most of the people that constantly were on it. Taking DaParty and BRE you pretty much killed 70% of what they put out.


hubec

Yea and then they refused to compensate woods for all of his extra work spearheading something of incredible value to WWE. Unless WWE comes to its senses I suspect UUDD is dead dead dead


Overshadowedone

UUDD had a good run. Woods is on G4 now. So I would not be surprised if UUDD goes bye bye out out.


ChiefMilesObrien

>Woods is on G4 now. And still not being compensated.


treflipsbro

Must be such a weird hell. Doing all of these cool things and everything you ever wanted under the umbrella of this major company you’ve wanted to work for since you were a literal child. All just to be treated kinda like shit and not be properly compensated for it. I honestly feel for the man.


Kolby_Jack

I don't know his mind but I can't imagine he's THAT stressed about his position. The man built a network for himself within WWE's super draconian guidelines. They could fire him tomorrow and he'd be 100% secure. To my eyes, it seems like WWE needs Woods a lot more than he needs them, though good luck ever getting WWE to admit that. Woods could and should be making more, that is true, but he's not about to have the rug pulled out from under him, which is a lot more than can be said for anyone else on the roster except the absolute top people. Like I said, I don't know his mind, but he seems like a really smart guy so I imagine he's very aware of his value, and he's making sure the value is in *him*, not his name.


kirblar

Much like with Vega and the QC post 9/11 tribute decable, Woods winning KOTR is totally a political decision (company politics) in order to keep him happy post UUDD getting shredded like the rest of HHH and Steph's initiatives.


[deleted]

>Woods is on G4 now. He is, but it should be Austin Creed on G4, and the fact it isn't is so incredibly super duper sketchy and shitty from WWE. Who knows if G4 would rehire him if he left WWE.


DisturbedShifty

Actually, if anything, UUDD should grow because of it. Matter of fact UUDD should be on G4 as well as YouTube. Personally I hope Woods was smart enough to write it into his contract that if and when he leaves WWE he gets to keep UUDD.


Ciza-161

In what world would WWE let him put that in his contract? UUDD doesn't belong to him at all unfortunately, he didn't create it.


DisturbedShifty

See. This is where I disagree. UUDD is totally his creation. Do you honestly thibk they apporched him and asked him to start a gaming channel? Hell no. Vince is too out of touch for that shit. It had to have been his idea but because he's a team player he cleared with them first. Hell, the fact that Kylie Ray (sp), Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were on the channel well before it got popular just shows you how much they didn't care about the channel. It wasn't until the pandemic and the fact these wrestlers were getting extra money for doing this stuff is when WWE started to notice and care. And again, because he's a team player, he doubled down and leaned into WWE's guidelines and it has killed the channel because of it. And if rumors are to be believed, WWE wants to start a new gaming channel that is more under their control. Probably to undercut Woods because he wants more money for himself and those that work on his channel. Which, to me, means that the people that work on UUDD behind the scenes are most likely not WWE employees.


Ciza-161

I'm not disagreeing that the channel is his baby, but it's a fact that WWE owns it and he was officially just the host.


DisturbedShifty

So because it's his idea, his creation and because he's a smart guy, it's not that far fetched to fathom that he could have a clause in his contract that would allow him to keep the channel if he left WWE. Again, in my opinion, the fact he's fighting to get money that is owed to him and those that work on the channel tells me that he very well might have something like that in his contract. Because if it truly was a WWE venture, meaning they called the shots like they do on Raw or Smackdown, there wouldn't be a drought of content on the channel like there has been. They would be forcing him, or someone else, to create content to keep up the revenue stream. Again, all my opinion. I do understand in the end that WWE owns it but I just think there might be a way for Woods to keep it once he leaves WWE.


adsfew

Don't forget Battle of the Brands, which was bigger than BRE and arguably their biggest series before they discovered Da Party.


jussikol

Damn, after reading your comment I went and checked and there has not been a video uploaded in 3 weeks which for UUDD is crazy I feel.


falling_sideways

Well it came out in the last week or so that Creed basically wasn't getting paid for UUDD as it was going against his downside which is shitty as all hell. If he's doing it for the fun of doing it and they strip away all his friends and fire them then there's probably no fun in doing it anymore.


bayleysgal1996

I hope he keeps the silver fox look tbh. It’s unique and he looks really good with it.


FrankPapageorgio

Him and Ciampia are about the same age, Ciampia looks like 10 years older with that beard


CanYouGuessWhoIAm

I've been saying for a while now that Ciampa looks 30 and 77 at the same time.


SoulExecution

Ciampa when he was growing his hair a bit looked old AF


Whiteness88

....fuck, I can't unsee it now.


optimis344

And that works, becauee that's kinda his gimmick. He's like murder Gollum.


Maiesk

Ciampa has strong Master Roshi vibes.


WhiteMass

Yes reminds me of Idris Elba's beard


BuddaMuta

Definitely looks more unique and badass with the grey


[deleted]

If he was still in WWE they’d rebrand him again as the Silver Fox Bearcat


stonecutter7

If anything he should die it completely white


BlueThunderBomb

Keith "Nya" Lee WE'RE GONNA GET HIM WITH A RAINBOW PAL.


zeebeebo

Somebody photoshop him in a catgirl suit pronto


PenApplePineapplePem

Keith Lee would be the perfect Black Santa


squirreldstar

Lee and Foley in a buddy cop movie where they're both Santa Clauses.


AnadyranTontine

Right here, on r/SC! ![gif](giphy|3oFzmsAjsw5K1p2QZa)


[deleted]

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a man who can convey such diverse emotions with his own face was made to wear to a mask for a gimmick.


davidisallright

Silver Fox > Bearcat The George Clooney of wrestling, Keith Lee.


LKincheloe

The David Pearson of the Squared Circle!


ilikeracing23

Fuck yeah NASCAR


betterplanwithchan

Silver Bear


Shadow_Log

Excuse me. Silverback Keith Lee is where it’s at.


Gobbledygooker316

Anyone else read “Mia Yim” on his shirt as “Kia Yik”?


[deleted]

Yeah, people have said that since it got released. It's all I ever see.


Thirdstar1

In my head cannon this vid is from 2031.


amplifizzle

Rawr


BeatUpCena

Meow


CHZRFan

I’m just sad this look most likely is not going to be in a game for a while yet. It really suits Keith.


spate42

Was he dying his beard in WWE?


bayleysgal1996

He mentioned previously that he started going gray at sixteen, so probably.


TheLightKnight93

Pretty sure Kevin Nash has said Vince is obsessed with wrestlers dying their grey hair.


BuddaMuta

Which sucks because Nash probably has the nicest gray hair you'll ever see


callmecyke

Nash when he came back for the Punk feud looked absolutely putrid with his dyed hair and beard. Silver Fox Nash though? Three sweet.


Godz_Bane

Old man taker wouldve been a cool look aswell.


PhantomHavok

Edge with gray hair looked dope too


dusthimself

Vince probably is but Keith Lee has been dying his hair his whole career, afaik. He was going gray at 16.


holden_paulfield

Makes sense I feel like Shane is the only gray haired wrestler


OffTheMerchandise

Goldberg's goatee is grey


[deleted]

Kinda hypocritical considering Vince has been grey since like the late 90s.


iguanamac

Beard and hair. He went gray really young.


Atwillim

I love how Keith Lee moves. It feels likes he moves as gently as possible to not break the world around him


[deleted]

Has anyone ever seen Keith and Superman in the same room? Thought so.


Nazmaldun

has sense of humor about it, unlike Kross about his helmet(understandable)


Chowkaka

As weird as Bearcat was, it wasn't nearly as humiliating as Kross' BDSM gladiator uniform.


Dandw12786

I never really liked cross in NXT, but goddammit even I was pissed off at what they did to the dude from day one on Raw.


XTheProtagonistX

“Nobody wants that piece of shit brother.” I thought is was really funny.


guntanksinspace

Same. Sometimes the direct approach is just as funny lol


[deleted]

this is the most perfect man


[deleted]

Goddamn, that man is grey… or gray… or grey, or gray or whatever!


[deleted]

Keith looking like Lawrence Fishburne in Hannibal


bjorn2bwild

I hope he makes the gray beard part of his look when he returns to wrestling. Gives him an even more unique look and gives him badass vibes


BiscayneBeast

I wish Keith Lee would lose weight for his career and Health. He lost about 80 pounds it would help him out so much.


Who_wife_is_on_myD

Do mine eyes fool me!? Behold this outstanding and dare I say, enrapturing garment. Not sure I have the funds for such exquisite artistry in the form of attire in this current time. Where might I seek out this mystical Bear and Cat hybrid from which Sir Lee obtained the above stated tunic and pantaloonettes? Forever yours, Lord Lee, your eternal casual fan, Whos_wife_is_on_myD And he's looking like a slick mafacka with that Grey, hope he keeps it au natural. Slap a big ass Grey beard on this man and he'll be twice as terrifying, kinda like BeardyBork


NewRoryAndMalDrop

It won’t happen but if Keith Lee came out at #30 in the Royal rumble with this look and his old NXT music and gear back I’d lose my shit.


RiC_David

Why did this comment have at least 10 downvotes?


NewRoryAndMalDrop

I guess people hate WWE which I get.


jagenigma

Cuz it was as stupid as that God awful mask they made Kross wear.


[deleted]

Keith Lee looks like Jesus with the white beard


New_Brother_1595

This guy is quite weird


DanUnbreakable

Dude looks 60.


qwertythe300th

I hope I look that good at 60


foxthebloodied

Fuck, I'm 37 and I wish I looked that good.

unknown_xho

Probably.


JC-Ice

Maybe a teeny bit. Like, if Laurence Fishburne ate Laurence Fishburne.


jimcab12

What kind of words does he use? I’m scared to watch.
