Guest Bruiser Chong Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 CJ just urged to me to flip over to RAW to see watch this and man, fucking gold. This is the sort of stuff WWE needs to be doing if they insist on acting Hollywood. Now I wanna see the old skits Booker did when he wanted to be Hollywood. And I think that promo convinced me to order WM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I thought it was very cool as well! Flair/HHH doing Braveheart and Benoit/Jericho/Christian/Stacy doing Basic Instinct is good stuff also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 It was probably the third-best on of the bunch. Booker's "Can you dig that..." at the end of Ezekiel 25:17 was the high point of the ad. I think they might've had more potential out of parodying one of the cafeteria scenes, or the blood-stained scenes near the end of the movie, with Nunzio playing Quentin Tarantino's character. The BraveHHHeart and Basic Instinct ones are tied on my list. Flair was superb in the first one, and Christian was the star in the second one. The Forrest Gump one is last, but I think it's because Eugene, in my book, is kinda becoming like Ralph Wiggum: a constant parody of himself. I'm saying that as a fan, of course.

goodhelmet Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I haven't seen the Pulp Fiction one yet but the only one that made me laugh out loud was when Eugene punched out the lady sitting on the bench. I was not expecting that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I completely forgot that I had seen the BraveHHHeart one and Eugene's Forrest Gump spoof. When I saw this most recent PULP FICTION one (after IMing Bruiser: "TURN TO RAW...TURN TO RAW NOW!") the first thing I thought was, "They should do more of these" completely forgetting that they already had done more. As much as I haven't watched RAW lately, it seems the only one I haven't seen is the Basic Instinct one. If Eddy and Booker are a sign of things to come, it might be worth watching RAW again just to catch these 'Mania promos. Does anyone have Booker's "Scorpion King" spot from a few years ago?

Marty Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 CJ, Here's a link to the Basic Instinct spoof: http://wmsvod.wwe.com/smackdown/200502/10b...instinct300.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Thanks, Marty. Not only are you the real Scorpion King, but you're a five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time, five-time WCW champion... AND NOW YOU GOT A SWORD, SUCKAAAAAAAA!

Marty Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hope I didn't confuse you. That's the Basic Instinct one, not the Scorpion King one (which I have no link to). I posted it because you mentioned that you haven't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 You didn't confuse me, I just wanted to reference the Scorpion King spot because it was so damn funny. Actually ALL of the 'Mania promos can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godthedog Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 jericho had some awesome facial expressions going in the 'basic instinct' promo. i didn't know he had it in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'm honestly shocked they haven't done one of Empire Strikes Back with Shane as Luke and Vince as Vader. "I *AM* YOUR FATHER" "NOOOOOO! ITS NOT TRUE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I want to see Kill Bill with Trish as the Bride and Taijiri and Funaki as the Crazy 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Christian and Jericho are great in the Basic Instinct promo. Even Benoit brings the goods there. Considering the utter crap we get in most of the skits on WWE, these are brilliant. I can't believe it's the same company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
