Loss Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 JYD does a promo wearing a neckbrace about how embarrassed he is after being attacked by Zhukov, "or whatever you wanna call your name". Somehow, this was an attack on all of those kids at the Dothan Boys Club, which is a bit of a stretch. Quote
shoe Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 I thought this was a solid piece of business. Alabama might be one of the last places the Dog could pop a house in 93. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Poor JYD laid up with a damaged neck and they still make him hold this gigantic mic for his promo. Quote
PeteF3 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 JYD in a different kind of setting, cutting a serious low-key promo for maybe the first time since the blinding angle. Quote
WingedEagle Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 JYD delivers a promo about Zhukov while in a neckbrace. Quote
soup23 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 JYD gives a promo here but this feels old and dated and not in a refreshing way. I don't want to continually being a negative nancy on the USA footage but nothing has grabbed me from it and it seems like rehashes of the territory greatest hits. Quote
garretta Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Not a bad promo, but as I said in the last thread, JYD vs. Zhukov just won't get it done in 1993, even for a nostalgia-based federation like this. Boris was a midcard joke by the time he left the WWF in 1990, and he hasn't exactly done anything to reestablish himself since. His gimmick is irrelevant, he's a terrible promo, and he's not exactly Ric Flair in the ring either. The Dog should probably be in SMW as an attraction, helping guys like Lee and Horner get over with the crowds by being the wise old tag team partner who brings the charisma while their partner takes care of the wrestling to the best of their ability. I think Soup's missing the point a bit: USA Wrestling wasn't supposed to be fresh, new, and exciting; rehashing old angles with old wrestlers was precisely the reason for its existence. Even by those standards, however, they could have done better than this for a money feud. They didn't, of course, and that's probably why we don't see them again on this set to the best of my knowledge. Quote
