Bored 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Chris Kanyon’s new WWE gimmick will be that he just recently returned from Tibet training under “the master” from the tree of woe. This is a gimmick very similar to that of Kevin Sullivan, which spawned the Dungeon of Doom storyline in WCW in the mid 1990s. The twist this time will be that Kanyon will be doing it with his trademarked lisp, making the gimmick a comedy/joke gimmick. credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Taskmaster Kanyon? I wish i could say i was surprised. Kanyon is good, but this...too much, way too much. If he's a threat to anything other than Funaki, it might, MIGHT actually be worth something. The positive is the Kanyon-Benoit feud that is BEGGING to be done, via the past Benoit-Sullivan feud & all that. I wish they were making him a Raven-type nut instead of Sullivan '95, but what can ya do? Negative is probably the Informer thing about the DoD reunion thing someone posted. Times like this, i wish they could have Russo & Heyman locked in a room until the next year was totally booked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vyce Report post Posted May 9, 2003 *beats head savagely against a brick wall* I have nothing to add. Other than I want the WWE creative team assassinated. Anyone who can get that taken care of for me, give me a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Please tell me this is a joke.......I wonder who though of this wanna be Jim Carrey movie crap gimmick......on the bright side though at least they have Hugh Morrus, and The Giant from the Dungeon of Doom to join him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted May 9, 2003 This has to be a joke. The fans are going to shit all over this in .3 seconds after it all comes to be. My prediction: Kanyon obviously flouders in the midcard before being put down into Velocity..where he conitnues to fall, until he picks an injury that keeps him out for a few weeks, and due to that injury, he nevers see the lights of a WWE arena again and is released before the year is out.

Guest Kid Kablam Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Actually, I saw the promo he cut for this gimmick, and he's doing a good job of it. Of course that really just reflects well on Kanyon, and so the gimmick still sucks, but at least Kanyon is doing something with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 9, 2003 This will last as long as G-G-G-G-OLD-GOLD-GOLD-GOLD-GOLD-GOLDUST. Is that still going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted May 9, 2003 I'm not sure, he hasn't been on RAW for like two weeks. I don't watch Heat, so he might still be doing it for all I know. I know that it killed the crowd pop he got before the electrocution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Hmm, just thinking... ...Kanyon and Goldust would be a good tag team. Stylistically they are different, but not so much different that they would clash with each other (cough Storm cough Regal cough). They need a straight man (Lance Storm!) to play off of, and have a cool tag finisher... If they were to go through with this, that would probably be the best way to do it and they could be semi-successfull in the pitiful WWE tag division.

Honestly, who in the Hell thinks this could even be slightly entertaining or that anybody, anywhere would want to see this crap? I have now lost all hope for the WWE.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Dude, lets take this wrestler and dress him up just like Rhyno complete with a bad wig. Than he can wander around backstage and spear random people and call it the Kangore Ro! Sounds retarded doesn't it? It's all in the execution folks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tibet? Tree of woe? Poor Kanyon...he deserves better. But on the plus side, we know which WCW 1994 storyline we're getting next month...HOGAN VS THE DUNGEON OF DOOM! Piper will run it. O'Haire and Kanyon will be kinda like joint leaders. Then they'll bring up Morrus...oh, and of course we'll have to get Ed Leslie and John Tenta back. We can even have Luger back to help Hogan...and a fake Sting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2003 Mmmm fake Sting = ratings!! Even better they can have a fake Hogan and all the fans turn on him, so he goes and mopes in the rafters for a year without saying anything. Then he can repel down and beat people with baseball bats. It's Money baby!!! Money!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 9, 2003 This actually doesn't sound that bad to me. The WWE makes every gimmick a "comedy angle" so that didn't even need to be said. Perhaps it will lead to Kanyon "morphing" back into Mortis? I like Kanyon, and regardless of how bad the gimmick turns out to be, a new gimmick still means more T.V. time. Even if that T.V. time is against jobbers on Velocity, at least I'll get to see Kanyon wrestle. He's one of my favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2003 I saw him cut a promo for this when Kanyon vs. Rhyno headlined Velocity. It came off really odd and the fans didn't really seem to be buying it at all. To me it just seemed like a one-shot deal to get heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm writing this down so we can give you full credit when it happens, because I have no doubt it will. It's so sad when we can predict all the bad shit that's going to happen months in advance, even if we were just kind of kidding around. I mean, I predicted Nash would be next in line for the World Cliqueweight Title back in DECEMBER, for crying out loud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cerebus Report post Posted May 11, 2003 I'm seriously curious...now that Pual Heyman was demoted (to where I have no idea) and that Steph has taken over the team...WHO makes up the creative writing team?
