Guest LesnarLunatic Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 I've been thinking and I realized that the Island Boy beatdown on Mae and Moolah wasn't needed. In fact, it does NOTHING for the Island Boys. It shows they can beat up 80 year old ladies. It doesn't make them into credible badasses or anything. Plus, who can say it didn't kill the crowd? wouldn't seeing old women getting attacked and stretchered out kill your enthusiasm? Hell, on TV, it looked frightening for them to do that, probably much worse at the Arena. The Island Boys could have done something else, the beating last night did nothing to get them any heel heat. I dare to say that the Island Boys, at this pace, will flop big time in the WWE. They are just being misused. The little "guys who beat up others because of Bischoff" gimmick they have will get stale by September. the only good part of all that was Moolah calling Cyndi Lauper a bitch. But that wasn't enough to save the segment.
Guest bob_barron Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 They beat up Mae Young. She's a HOSS
Guest Retro Rob Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 Yeah, the moves did look like they actually made contact, so the segment wasn't a complete waste.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 Maybe they'll just be Bischoff's hitmen against people who don't entertain him
Guest CED Ordonez Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 The Island Boys showed up? I switched channels the instant Mae Young's music hit and by the time I flipped back, Mae Young was doing a stretcher job. The WWE has trained me to tune out promos.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 But it would completely defeat their purpose as heels if they beat test down two hours straight every week!
Guest Shaved Bear Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 they beat up oldladies, thats evil
Guest DJ Jeff Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 I don't really see how beating up Moolah and Mae will actually help the Island Boyz become a big threat. Seriously, they need a new gimmick instead of being Bischoff's bitches.
Guest thebigjig Posted July 30, 2002 Report Posted July 30, 2002 Actually, the segment disturbed me somewhat after Moolah took that really really nasty move where the guy charged at her full speed and slammed his ass into her face. It not only looked like it made contact... but I'm pretty sure it did
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 I like the Island Boyz being used as Quality Control for Bischoff's RAW. Everyone knew that Moolah and Mae was just SCREAMING kill them. My friend who doesn't watch wrestling normally was over and when he saw Moolah and Mae Young come out, he was all "Heh, that would be so funny if some guys ran out and kicked their ass." and I was sitting there grinning like a bastard throughout all of Bischoff's tirade and slimy heelishness then when the Boyz came out and whipped their ass I marked out and he was laughing like crazy. So they've got at least TWO fans here because of that segment! Yeah!
Guest Anglesault Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 It not only looked like it made contact... but I'm pretty sure it did It did. Her head snapped back. X-Pac wouldn't take a bump like that.
Guest Downhome Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Makes the boys look like totaly bastards for doing such a thing... ...and does the same for Bishoff, for making it happen. I don't see why people see it as a waste, because it made the above look more like heels for going THAT far, and it gave them a reason to have the two ladies on tv to promote the book, but not in a perverted way as it usually is with them. I see quite a few things that segment did.
Guest Downhome Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Oh yeah, it also made the fans know that when Bishoff says you have "three minutes", that the sh*ts about to hit the fan.
Guest danielisthor Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 all though it was disturbing, it was just as disturbing to bring those two old bags and let them stand in the ring. Its a shame that our friends in the Great White North of Canada probably had the whole segment cut out. When i saw the replay, moolah's face was on the bottom turnbuckle. The Somoians ass hit the second turnbuckle. So her "face" was relatively safe. What would you rather look at, Moolah and Young's face or Rikishi's ass? To me, there really isn't much difference, they about look the same.
Guest danielisthor Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 It not only looked like it made contact... but I'm pretty sure it did It did. Her head snapped back. X-Pac wouldn't take a bump like that. obviously Moolah has more balls than X-Pac. Then again he's had what 3 major neck surgeries. Probably a wise move on his part.
Guest Downhome Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 What would you rather look at, Moolah and Young's face or Rikishi's ass? To me, there really isn't much difference, they about look the same. Ummm, her face obviously. I don't know about you, but there is something about samoan fat-ass that I just can't stand looking at it. Maybe it the ass, or the, ass, but I can't stand it.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Eh it's just a easy way to introduce the Island Boys. I don't see anything that bad about it. Yeah eventhough it's a great segment they can't just be Bischoff's "you don't entertain me" goons for too long but i don't think they will. They will get a fued or story soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see someone fight back after their 3 minutes are over thus introducing or reintroducing a wrestler or introducing a new tag team. Introducing a new tag team would be best as it would set up a fued for the Island Boys.
Guest TheArchiteck Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 I think it did a hell of a lot for the Island Boys and Eric. It damn near made me sick to my stomach. I'm figuring people will literally HATE them even worst. Only problem I have is that Bischoff have yet to tell the crowd, who they are.
Guest jester Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Good way for a new face to get over: After they've done this three minute thing for awhile, have a face get Bishoff's face and say "Give me three minutes." Then stand in the ring and wait.
Guest phoenixrising Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 It gets across the total ruthlessness of Bischoff and the Island Boys. It doesn't matter who you are, when your three minutes are up, they are UP. I think Mae (or was it Moolah? can't tell) has an ass imprint on her face from that smash. That frog splash on the other old bag looked vicious too, but mostly cause an octogenarian had the guts to take one from a dude that's gotta be in the neighborhood of 300 pounds.
Guest the pinjockey Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 I thought the segment was great. "You have three minutes" is quickly becoming one of my favorite weekly segments. Watching Bischoff play the smarmy asshole why acting like he is giving people a chance is funny as hell.
Guest deadbeater Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Brock Lesnar dropped Molly with the F5 as she was making up with the Hurricane. That sure worked, worked to permantly put him in my and many other people's shit list. They did the exact same thing to the Island Boyz.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 :coughspoileralertforlastpostcough: ...I think...
Guest the pinjockey Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 I think that is from when Brock first came in squashing all the lower card people.
Guest Nevermortal Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Only problem I have is that Bischoff have yet to tell the crowd, who they are. He did, he called them Jamal & Rosie. Anyway, my take on the segment... After all Moolah & Mae have put us through, nudity, hand births, edible panties, breast pumps with Mark Henry; they deserved it. It was a much better beatdown then the one the Dudleys gave to them long ago (The Superbomb on Mae off the Stage, through the table stack). I just wish they would've hit the Gorilla Press Samoan Drop.
Guest mickberna Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 As I recall, didn't the Dudleyz get over big as heels doing exactly the same thing? They both stretchered Mae Young, but of course the Duds destroyed BB the paramedic rather than D-Lo and Stasiak. Same shit, but it works for me. Take THAT, elderly women!
Guest Vern Gagne Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 I thought the Dudleyz quickly became faces after Mae Young went through a table. Oh thebigjig, the Frank Stallone sig is great.He truly is a god amongst man.
Guest Anglesault Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 Brock Lesnar dropped Molly with the F5 as she was making up with the Hurricane. That sure worked, worked to permantly put him in my and many other people's shit list. But wouldn't Brock be over now?
Guest Shaved Bear Posted July 31, 2002 Report Posted July 31, 2002 oh God, I was actually marking out like crazy to see the old bitches get knocked around, I mean I just hate Mae Young on so many levels
