Talk about it here.

It's Arn, Eaton and Paul E. Arn does a great promo, talking about the recession and the things they're going to do to the Steiners at SuperBrawl.

[MikeCampbell]

This was an interesting promo. Paul E. reminds everyone that he used to sit in the booth and praise the Steiners as the best team in the world, and Anderson laments to "JR" that he thinks there's something wrong with the world when people with college degrees can't get jobs. In the story of his career, Bobby stays in the background and says nothing.

Paul E delivers a great promo on why Anderson & Eaton are better than the Steiners, with an assist from Anderson and his phenomenal glasses.

[PeteF3]

Arn with a sterling promo, what else is new.

[garretta]

This was a tremendous low-key promo from Paul and Arn. It puts the Steuners over like a million bucks, but says the DA is worth a million and one. I liked that Paul brought up his praise of the Steiners from the booth; too many times heel managers give their opponents either no credit or grudging credit, so this is a nice change of pace.

 

Arn does a masterful job tying this situation to real life; unlike most of the rest of America, Paul and the DA are willing to take chances on each other, and that's what makes them great. Could Arn spin a yarn or what? With that kind of verbal firepower behind him, Bobby could afford to be the strong, silent type, like he was with Corny and Stan.

 

This has to be one of the first recorded instances of Jim Ross being referred to as JR, although I think Flair did it once in a while before this. I don't think it ever caught on in WCW the way it did later in the WWF, though.

 

Paul's wrong about one thing: the Steiners do come off the top, though hardy with Bobby's athletic skill and grace.

 

I'm almost glad we don't have to hear the Steiners' answer to this; if they do their usual schtick, they'll come across as a couple of real meatheads compared to the cultured, educated gentlemen of the DA.

I loved Arn's promo here. He's just so good even when it is something as simple as this. Paul is pretty good here too. I'm 100% sure that Bobby not talking was the way to go with this.
