I still don't understand the logic in reminding WWF fans that two of their biggest stars jumped ship, and outraging them by doing this stuff. Just really, really dumb. Once again, my thoughts exactly. "Guess what fans, we own these trademarks!" And the response is "okay, but that doesn't mean I want to watch someone else doing it". Impossible to see the upside, and unlike 'The Real JJ', this one has a stark downside. Quote
El-P Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 This is WWF getting desperate while WCW was just kicking their asses with the angle of the decade. How could they thought it would get over ? I did like Ross pseudo heel turn though. Heel Ross would have been a blast. I'm very critical of what Ross became later, but I really loved his work during this time preceding the Attitude Era. Quote
Victator Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Ross is a natural heel. With A heel announcer he is unbearable he gets so antagonistic. Quote
goodhelmet Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Ditch, I may be wrong but my gut feeling is that the fake razor and diesel guys were really just there to reinforce their argument in the lawsuit ie Nash and Hall and therefore WcW are infringing on our gimmicks. EDIT: Sorry but this was already discussed in the Jim ross interview thread Quote
Ditch Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 That could well be it. Not as though they flogged the angle to death in reality. It was just so actively bad that every segment was interminable. Quote
El-P Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Odd that Rick Bogner never did anything of note in the US. He was a decent power wrestler. Better than Jacobs anyway. Quote
PeteF3 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 Man oh man, as unpleasant as Ross is, '90s Monsoon is even moreso, so it did my heart good to see Ross completely light into Gorilla, who finally had to deal with someone who could give it right back to him. Shades of JR having to deal with Jesse in 1992. Oh, yeah, and this is stupid, of course. I guess it was effective in a court of law, and in the long run it would pay off, but that doesn't make for entertaining television. Quote
soup23 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Two awful WWF ideas behind each other. They were gaining some momentum but still had some turd stuff on their programming. This gets worse and worse by the week and the Diesel debut was ridiculous. Quote
Exposer Posted May 13, 2017 Report Posted May 13, 2017 This went on & on. Gorilla & JR arguing on commentary is fun at first but gets more annoying as the match seems to never end. The snorefest ends when Fake Diesel interferes & he & Fake Razor hit their finishing moves. This is very bad. Quote
tim Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 This story does come with some morbid curiosity but makes WWF look so, so bush league. Both Razor and Diesel just look ridiculous. Quote
dawho5 Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 They did this for the lawsuit? You'd think Vince might have some other priorities right about now. Quote
