Loss Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Shawn does an awesome promo that really gets the Manhattan crowd very upset and chanting obscenities at him. 1993 may have been his best year, because he wrestled more as a traditional heel and was focused on getting heat and having good matches without most of the distractions he'd later have. Shawn has words for Mr. Perfect, who comes out while Shawn taunts him while he's being held back by everyone. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 This was great and Shawn is such a swarmy heel that you want to kick his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Was that Green Lantern fan and girlfriend in that heart shaped screen?!!!! That has to be him right?!!! Crowd has bad things to say about Shawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Was that Green Lantern fan and girlfriend in that heart shaped screen?!!!! That has to be him right?!!! Yes, that was him. Shawn goes for the ultra-cheap heat right off the bat, referring to NYC as the armpit of the nation and making a March on Washington crack about two fans. That gets the crowd on his case big-time. Heenan: "They're chanting SHAWN IS GREAT!" God, nobody can make a save like the Brain. We get footage from WM9 of Shawn jumping Mr. Perfect in the back as Perfect was attempting to confront Lex Luger. Shawn mixes up Grover and Oscar in regards to which one lives in a trash can, and Mr. Perfect comes out to correct him. Good enough segment--Shawn is now officially a natural douche, a role that would stick with him the rest of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 HBK defending IC title against Duggan next week. Cheap heat on NYC. No Sherri. Clips of HBK attacking Perfect after Mania. Officials hold Perfect back allowing HBK to get in a cheapshot kick, and Perfect chases him off. Fun promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Green Laterrn Fan prepares to ask his girlfriend to marry him. Shawn's promo was well done here. I don't think Shawn in 93 will match the highs of him in the second half of 97 and I have actually liked his babyface run in 96 more than I had imagined. Surprisingly, I think Shawn has taken a boost overall in my eyes thanks to the yearbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I didn't this much, mainly because Savage and Heenan insisted on bantering over top of most of it. I couldn;t tell what they were saying either, so the whole segment ended up a mishmash except for a few good lines ("Shawn is great!", the Grover/Oscar mixup, and one or two others). Shawn's still too self-absorbed to do truly heated, hate-filled mic work; he gives the impression of being above both the fans and the sport itself. He'll ground himself a little more as time goes on. When Bobby called Shawn the greatest IC champ of all time, I thought Randy would stick up for himself as well as for Curt, but he didn't. Shawn and Luger would have made a pretty good regular tag team, and in a world where Kevin Nash didn't exist, Luger would have also been a good muscleman for Shawn while maintaining his own career. I liked Vince telling Shawn that he acts the way he does because he feels that he's not worthy of the fans' love and respect. That's the kind of question/statement that Vince would pose when he hosted TNT and actually cared about getting characters and storylines over instead of the company and its ability to make a spectacle, and I was glad to see it return. Too bad the return wasn't permanent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 There was a major Gay Pride parade in New York the day before this show. This is what Shawn was referencing which caused the "Shawn is Gay" chants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
