The All Elite Wrestling executive VP seems pretty humble about his own personal critiques. “I sit there often and I’m pretty sure I’m not qualified to be judging some of the things I’m judging but I try my best," he told the Boston Herald in January 2022.

“There are acts that you want to turn away from, but you can’t. The Speed Eater absolutely fills that bowl up with less-than-appetizing dishes you may be familiar with," he said, clearly squeamish.

“Actually, there are a few others of the sideshow variety that also have a very grotesque approach — I think that’s how they balance against their competition. If it’s a really high-risk stunt, if it’s magic, if it’s a presentation, what’s the one thing that they can do?" he went on. "If that’s to gross-out the judges with their individual discipline or skill, maybe it’ll take them far. Maybe it won’t."

With shows like AGT and the Go-Big Show, it seems that almost every performance is a risk to some extent. There's hardly an act that will fully please every audience member and judge. But, we'll admit, we think some contestants prefer to shock than impress. Plain ol' shock value won't get contestants closer to being $100,000 richer, though.

Watch the Go-Big Show on Thursdays at 9 p.m. EST on TBS.
