Exactly. I mean how many "ordinary" people were even aware that Dolph Ziggler was part of the Spirit Squad?
-
Tensai could only have worked if he would have worn a mask all the time. As soon as he removed his cap and everbody new it was Albert any chances of him getting over were gone. Umaga had far less previous exposure and was not associated with "mediocrity" by large amounts of the fans as Tensai was (deserving or not).

Jason Hervey was much worse.
-
If I remember correctly Batista is even much bigger now than he was at Royal Rumble.
-
There are several "too big to be true" guys, most notably Big E and Ryback.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
Robert S replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
The last hour or so quite a lot of people had to know, otherwise the betting line would not have moved that much. -
It almost seems that the show is designed to make some of the talking heads look really bad, most notably (but not exclusively) Jericho, Punk, Bryan, the Miz and DeMott. Not that I ever had a good opinion of the last two, mind you. Some of the comments reg. Disco Inferno were more personal insults than just criticising the gimmick. They sell the whole thing as being voted by fans. Did they ever do such votings on the website or is this just plain bs?

Triple H just announced that the Ultimate Warrior passed away
Robert S replied to flyonthewall2983's topic in Pro Wrestling
The first thing I thought of after reading the news: -
There are several possibilities for putting Lesnar over Undertaker: - Taker has nothing left and he knows it, putting Lesnar over might be the only way to get rid of the streak without killing the other guy as Lesnar at least will get some heel heat for it, which probably wouldn't work for 95% WWE wrestlers. - According to Meltzer Lesnar went from being a 40-1 underdog to the actual favorite in the last hour before the match, so several people with backstage knowledge made a killing. - WWE just wanted to troll people and get the awesome crowdshots of astonished fans.

Wrestlemania Predictions (It's never too early)
Robert S replied to goodhelmet's topic in Pro Wrestling
They spent way too much time the last two weeks with Triple H with Batista and Rand Orton for Triple H not to be in the main event. On the other hand the crowd probably will riot if the main event is Triple H vs. Batista vs. Orton, so my prediction: *drum-roll* Triple H beats Bryan in a screwy fashion, some authority figure (Vince?) changes the main event to a four way where Bryan beats Triple H clean. -
That was epic and somehow Hervey did not get the insult there. After this match Ross is a bit of a hero to me, every other man would have punched Hervey in the face five minutes in.
-
Those guys looked pretty polished in the stuff they do considering it's two guys I have never heard of and that never got any real break wrestling in 1992 indy in late 90ies indies style, if that makes sense.
-
What was the name besides Hogan he mentioned? I rewinded three times and still could not make it out. Canek maybe?
-
There is no tournament scheme, just a long gauntlet match. For Valentine (or SD Jones) to have won the whole thing he would have needed to win 19 straight matches. WWE ran tag team turmoils quite a lot over the last 15 years, just not with that many participants.
-
All in all the thing was pretty funny but they should not have done the hit-piece like segments about Sid, Steiner and Adamle. And who the hell is the Sideshow Bob look-alike and what's his connection to wrestling?
-
I did not assume that someone would consider the results of a Countdown show as a spoiler.
-
It is Russo. What was pretty strange is that they mixed the Montreal screw job together with the normal wrestling angles.
-
Eddie is normally not a guy you would expect to fuck up left and right but that is what he is doing here. He failed twice to put up Samurai into a tombstone position.
-
That was one of the strangest submission holds I have ever seen. I did not even realize that this was supposed to be an offensive hold from Liger. When the bell rang I assumed that Liger submitted to the legscissors.

[1997-08-11-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels and Sgt. Slaughter
Robert S replied to Loss's topic in August 1997
I don't know how Slaughter managed to keep a straight face here, I would have started laughing sooner or later. -
I don't know what WWE sees in the Ascension, except them having a good look. Konnor is in developmental since 2005 (except a two year break) and Viktor is in the business for 15 years (and the last three in developmental), so it's not that they are young or young to the business and are expected to still improve much.
-
This segment makes it two segments that night where Mean Gene has to help a guy out, here he shows JJ where to look at, i.e. where the camera is located. It's also funny that Dillon has no way to get into contact with Sting while having sources that know Sting to be in the arena beforehand.
-
Holly had pretty decent matches from the start of his WWF career when he was put into position to do so (i.e. in the ring with the right guy, not being squashed etc.).
-
His German sounds so strange that back then I thought this was an American posing as a German but I guess it was just the steroids making him so pumped up. The guy was already 35 back, carrying that much muscle he was not long for this business even if he had any talent.

[1997-08-04-WWF-Raw] Hart Foundation and Steve Austin
Robert S replied to Loss's topic in August 1997
That was the Wrestlemania theme they used around this time (Wikipedia says from X to XIV) and the instrumental version of a song from the WWF album "WrestleMania: The Album" (1993):
