Guest buffybeast Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Test has major heat It seems Test’s days in WWE may be numbered as officials have given up on him. Concerns firstly came when he expressed that he thought his future was as an actor and not a wrestler. Now many are doubting his commitment as he has refused to change his look despite the promise of a major push. He was first told to cut his hair which he refused and has now told WWE officials he won’t swap his leather pants to traditional trunks. This has gained him tremendous heat and is the reason he lost to Al Snow on Monday. Credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Guest Muzz Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I'm a fan of wrestlers speaking their minds and not conforming. About him being an actor though.... Ahahahahaha.
Guest Trivia247 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Not that Im a Big Test fan or nothing.. Nor am I really a Test basher.. but this is Kinda Silly... Fire someone who is no showing events... Doing some substances under the table. But because he won't cut his hair? He won't go the Albert Rout? Geez I don't know why Test is not being pushed. He is a decent, if somewhat sloppy wrestler, who was given a more extensive Moveset that some of us would care to give him. If he is completely disagreeable then fine maybe they should 86 him. But not because of Trunks and Haircut. When did WWE become a Facist society with HHH Spitting water on someone and he gets fired. I thought it was a Autocracy with Vince the only Head and Only he gets to approve angles. CZAR McMahon we Need ya stop your Daughter's Boyfriend before he destroys the WWE..AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Kinda went off track...But...you never know it could be HHH demanding Test to cut his Hair and wear tights just to make his former adversary look Stupid.
Guest franchise632 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I guess this Test has been failed. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA But seriously, would he really be missed. Other then being another gassed up big man what makes him so talented and unique that makes me want to watch. Of course he couldnt be fired until after Survivor Series as he won the Immunity Battle Royal. Of course since most people dont remember last month Im sure they wouldnt remember that from 11 months ago.
Guest phoenixrising Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 TEST thinks he's an actor? TEST???? Anyway this whole look thing is getting ridiculous. I mean, he had no heat and they gave him push after push, but now he won't cut his hair or swap his pants for trunks and NOW he's in danger of losing his job? Ridiculous. On the other hand, let's hope Mark Henry or the Big Show refuse to change their look and get fired too.
Guest beav Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 In a way, I don't blame him. 1) He knows he has been repeatedly given "big pushes" that the WWF/E give up on, then run the cycle again (how much of that can be blamed on him is a topic that has been beat to death though). How would this one be any differnet? 2) He also knows that no matter how big his promised push is, if it happens to run headfirst into the HHH express no amount of haircutting or trunk changing will reverse the inevitable depush. Why bother if you know the push will end in failure due to outside influences even if it does suprisingly start working this time around?
Guest DJ Jeff Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Maybe Test could sign with the NWA:TNA or something. Anyways, I wouldn't miss him that much. Though, I kinda wanted to see him win the World Title someday. By the looks of it, that won't be happening. Oh, and just for the record, I think it's stupid to fire a superstar just because he won't cut his hair and change to trunks.
Guest buffybeast Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Mick Foley mentioned in one of his books that Test was considered to be the worse actor on the roster. Does he think anyone in Hollywood is going to give a rat's ass about him with the WWF media machine behind him? Unless he plans on starring in gay porn. I'm sure he'd be a hit there.
Guest buffybeast Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Oh, and just for the record, I think it's stupid to fire a superstar just because he won't cut his hair and change to trunks. I don't think the hair and the trunks are the crux of the matter. The problem is that Test is not doing what he is told.
Guest DJ Jeff Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I don't think the hair and the trunks are the crux of the matter. The problem is that Test is not doing what he is told. I know, but the hair and trunks thing is part of the reason why he would be fired. I can understand firing a superstar because they aren't as commited to the WWE, but not because Test won't cut his hair and change to trunks.
Guest Leena Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Test has major heat He was first told to cut his hair which he refused and has now told WWE officials he won’t swap his leather pants to traditional trunks. He cant do SLAPS PANTS, TEST BIG BOOT~ then. It's his whole character, I can't blame him. My guess is Stacy dumped him, and now he's pouting. Oh well, bye bye Andy.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I'm not the biggest Test fan myself. But, I don't bash him like some on here. I'm glad he's standing up to Managment. Fuck them, their just trying to embarrass him more then he does on his own. It's one of those "Lets see how much we can make him do." The Sad part, that's was their frame of Mind with Owen.
Guest evenflowDDT Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Test has major heat He was first told to cut his hair which he refused and has now told WWE officials he won’t swap his leather pants to traditional trunks. He cant do SLAPS PANTS, TEST BIG BOOT~ then. It's his whole character, I can't blame him. That's exactly what I was going to say. I remember Anglesault posted once about a time when Test was wearing jeans or something and slapped and there was no noise so the move looked even lamer.
Guest Slapnuts00 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Anyone else find it hilarious that they have the perfect angle to fire him, as we approach the end of the year of immunity he won at last year's Survivor Series?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I don't think the hair and the trunks are the crux of the matter. The problem is that Test is not doing what he is told. I know, but the hair and trunks thing is part of the reason why he would be fired. I can understand firing a superstar because they aren't as commited to the WWE, but not because Test won't cut his hair and change to trunks. But that's part of the committment. You know, as a wrestler, appearance is a big part of the job. Management is going to want you to do certain things, like cut your hair, change up clothing, etc. based on the direction they want to take your persona. If you decline, you're only hurting yourself. Especially if you're going to get a push. If I was in the WWE, and Vince promised me a push if I cut my hair, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Look at it this way: you work in an office, and the dress code is casual. You wear a certain shirt style, because you like it. Management changes the dress code to business formal. If you refuse, you'll be fired.
Guest Incandenza Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Anyone else find it hilarious that they have the perfect angle to fire him, as we approach the end of the year of immunity he won at last year's Survivor Series? That, my friend, would be awesome. On the one year anniversary of Survivor Series, they can have a "Loser Leaves WWE" match and job him out to Spike or someone.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 It's things like this that make me seriously wonder about the state of mind of the WWE management these days. I'm almost shocked that Matt Hardy didn't get this treatment when he spoke up... but then again, PoochieTaker HAS been using him as a footrest for abouta month now, so maybe they ARE punishing him...
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Screw Survivor Series!!!!! Isn't RAW in Montreal next Monday?
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Matt spoke his mind? Huh? Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Matt had heat for speaking up a while ago. Which lead to him working Heat for about a month there. This was when Jeff Was getting his "WWE Undertaker Squash Push."
Guest HartFan86 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 And Test was actually trained by Bret Hart (whose probably punching himself in the face) Anyways, good bye Test, maybe Stacy will say that as well.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I said a while ago Test & Stacy were the next Chris & Tammy.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Normally, I would think it's ridiculous to fire a guy for something as retarded as his hair or outfit. But in this case, it's Test. Ha! Good riddance you tall worthless cretin! but, in his defense, doesn't WWE management know how the big boot works? Maybe tommorow they'll ask Tajiri to start wearing sweatpants or overalls.
Guest AndrewTS Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Anglesault shall be very happy. Well, he'll probably say, "let me know when he IS fired." Still, BS reasons except for the "rather act than wrestle" thing. How dare he unless he's a visible minority with charisma and mass crossover appeal want to become an actor! However, if he would and keeps working that WWE style he should be handed one of the WWE Titles in between movies.
Guest TheArchiteck Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Damn, I kind of liked the guy. But if he wants to act...more power to him.
Guest Harry Hood Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Yeh but even if Matt is being punnished, he still got away from HHH express and is more over than ever in my mind...
Guest AndrewTS Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I said a while ago Test & Stacy were the next Chris & Tammy. I wouldn't say that. Sunny and Candido were better in their respective fields than those two. Candido is much more talented than Test will ever be--too bad he was SHORT! Stacey is arguably as hot as Sunny, but she doesn't have the mic skills or knowledge of the biz she did, and we don't know anything about Sunny as a wrestler, but Stacey is hopeless as a wrestler. Although the thought of Stacey doing tricks and appearing on a nudie website with Sable to support her future crack habit makes me sad.
Guest Harry Hood Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I dont know dude, there's levels of hotness, and then on the very top tier is Sunny in her prime...it's pretty much unsurmountable.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I've only seen Tammy Wrestle once and it wasn't pretty. It was Storm/Dawn Marie Vs Chris/Tammy.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I wouldn't really miss Test, although I don't hate him like the average smark. Fact is since there is one major wrestling company in the US right now he'd be wise to keep his mouth shut and do whatever uncle Vince says. A good Hoss isn't hard to find.
