Goodear Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Arguing about Johnny Valentine in the early 70's "burying" Paul Jones was worth a larf. Sometimes it seems like Pete and Parv want wrestling to be very much the same constantly where certain rules are sacred. In my opinion, it is okay for the loud mouth jerk not to put guys over since that is the reason you want to see them get their asses kicked. It is okay to call Jones a little shit if he's a little shit. Let us not ignore the blatantly obvious like ignoring the fact that Dusty is a husky gentleman or Rey Mysterio is the size of a 12-year old. No one wants a heel that talks like a NFL football coach who doesn't want to give out blackboard material. Â I now want a Spoiler character like today. He could wear a mask and carry signs with him to the ring. Â Â Kevin Spacey IS Kaiser Soze. Â Â Pete wants Wahoo's leg to go all Suzy Spirit and be sticking out of the meat?

shoe Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 A couple of things about the promo. Â 1. I said on the show I had no problem with Valentine's promo as long as Jones was going over. If you bury someone in a promo and then you beat them all you did was beat someone who's not worth your time and helps neither of you. Â 2. Is Johnny Valentine a loud mouth jerk? No he's a stone cold killer . So you're describing him completely wrong . Â Â Â It's interesting to hear other people's takes on the subject matter.

shoe Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also in regards of promos you can still talk smack without burying your opponent. We've seen Flair walk that line . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Enthusiast Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I am super-excited about this, though might wait til all three are released and power-listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Just remember, Parv once asked if the Piper's Pit with Frankie Williams was a "burial". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker8 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's for highlighting matches like Rip Hawk & Swede Hansen vs. Johnny Weaver and Art Neilsen that I love your show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 BTW, there is an actual DC superhero named The Spoiler! A member of Batman's supporting cast (well, really the Tim Drake Robin's supporting cast in Tim's solo book), she took her name because she was thwarting sinister plots, specifically done by her father, who was a costumed villain known as The Cluemaster, and in previous DC continuities she "graduated" to being a Robin (after Tim quit/fired for a brief time) and a Batgirl. But currently she is back to her original hero personae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
