Loss Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Chris Champion was in the gimmick at this point. He does a ton of martial arts stuff in full Ninja Turtle garb. The narration makes this amazing. He's fighting for truth, justice and a bigger slice of pizza. Pro wrestling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Cowabunga the Karate Turtle. Fabulous. I'd love to know who was doing the Splinter voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Who the hell idea was this? The karate moves were actually fairly coordinated but between the music and narration this was too much to take in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 The character worked well at spot shows in SMW, I'm sure it could here as well. I thought the video was well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Ninja Turtle fan in me loved this. I would not have picked Chris Champion as the guy under the mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 In Memphis, this is harmless fun. In the WWF, Vince would have been destroyed for it. It just goes to show you what a reserve of credibility and goodwill can do for a wrestling promotion. I'm actually interested to see how this gimmick works in the ring, as Champion looked like he was moving pretty well in the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 This is the second time we've gotten a ninja turtle promo, and I can't remember, WA it for a different company. Like was there an ICW ninja turtle or was it always Memphis? I can't remember. Anyway, shockingly competent karate kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 For many years Cowabunga has lived in the shadows waiting for the right time to show his face upon the wrestling world, and now is that time! Cowabunga is a fighter of evil and a fighter for truth, justice and a bigger slice of pizza! Cowabunga has got a new costume and it’s a significant improvement on the one he wore previously. He does some karate kicks and punches, then chops a piece of wood in half. The gimmick is still horrible, but at least it looks like it will be interesting to watch with all those flashy kicks and punches. Not too sure about the faux Japanese accent that he talks in mind!

dawho5 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looked like a half-assed execution of a karate form. But for wrestling it will work. Don't know that I would condemn Vince for this. It would show a shocking grasp of contemporary pop culture for Vince. He always seems stuck at least 5 to 10 years behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
