I occassionally hear about Palumbo's "WCW World title chase" and shake my head. That was a blatant on-air joke by Russo, which lasted all of one Nitro. Chuck was never a serious World title challenger. I agree there, he never was a challenger, but in a marks eyes, he was chosen ahead of Kevin Nash in that match. We all know how Nash was made to look in WCW, he was getting god pushes constantly (god finger poke not withstanding) But once again, do you think Palumbo hs talent? OK, I felt pity for you and decided to lay off of you, but you asked me a question and I'll answer it and leave this thread be. First off, he was chosen as a joke, it lasted one night, and he was right back to tagging, while Nash DID get another God push and ended Booker's first reign just a couple weeks later. And to answer your question, Chuck has a good punch and belly-to-belly, and um... well... there's nothing else about him that really stands out to me. Once again, I understand it was only a one night deal from Russo concerning Palumbo.

*sighs* Fine. I'll see you in 2006 We'll hang around for a gimmick repackagement then, then we'll discuss his moveset/style/LOOK/potential. (only joking about the LOOK thing)

A John Cena/RVD/Chris Jericho/Booker T main eventer (where they rotate from main event to midcard), sure, but I don't see WWE making him a real main eventer. Would you class regularly main eventing in somewhere other than WWE (assuming nothing else starts up that can be classed as competition, we'll go with TNA right now) as a real main eventer? Suppose you'd have to call D-Lo Brown a ME'er though by that theory. Jericho WILL be a main eventer one day, it just depends on HHH staying on Raw/HHH marrying and retiring, yes, Jericho's career really DOES depend on HHH.

Rocky had charisma. Oh, and he certainly got heat. Just not the type he was supposed to get. There is no point speculating about the future. I mean Nathan Jones COULD be good at some stage so lets push him now, right? Maybe he could, the safe money is he won't be though. Yep. Same for O'Haire. I decree, O'haire's had a good match before, so there's always potential. Maybe i blinked during the good match that Jones had? Although AndrewTS won't want to hear the same drawn out argument, the fact of the matter is, he has the look, and that makes up a good percentage of how well a wrestler will fare.

Why the hell am i argueing with FIVE different people here? Those three mentioned wrestlers there, Hogan most probably will be there, but not dominating the ME scene for more than two months. HHH? No chance, unless the marriage doesn't work out. Taker? Who knows with him to be honest.

I never thought Rock had charisma in 1996, he seemed extremely bland in his SS debut.

You mean Matt Hardy AKA Marty Janetty 2002, back before he had the Mattitude gimmick. He didn't prove anybody wrong, because Matt Hardy is just like Marty Janetty, except without the drugs. After the Rockers split and after the Hardy Boyz split, both became midcarders. Don't you see Matt becoming ME one day? And we're all overlooking something here, minus the drugs, Marty Janetty was a talented guy, and although risking my Bret Hart bias and a lot of flaming here, i consider Janetty to be the better of the Rockers, back in the day.

I always considered Matt to be the more talented of the brothers and the one to make it through the long run - But that could always change, WWE seems to favour Jeff, giving him chance after chance, Matt was in all honesty given one 'big' shot and he took it and ran with it.

Well, it's quite common for a good gimmick change to lift a wrestler to greatness (best case here would be HHH) and i'll give you that, O'Haire won't do it like he is right now. However, the gimmick's basic role is good, that of the loner who shuns himself from everybody and does it on his own (Stone Cold anybody? Nah, probably not) and teaming him with Piper immediately killed off those good promos. This is making me sound like an O'Haire mark, which i'm really not. I'll admit defeat here due to the numbers game of everybody against me, and say... Chuck Palumbo was also a future main eventer, even challenging for the WCW title in his last year there, Wouldn't you say he had the same credentials AS O'Haire right now? Or would you say Chucky has 'talent?'

^^^ Describing Nathan Jones? Also, You could be describing The Rock seven years ago. Thing is, in most cases, you dont know when a kid will come good.

AKA Marty Janetty 2006. Go back two years. Sean Stasiak will team up with an awesome up and coming wrestler that will go on to the main event scene, while Stasiak stays in the midcard, running into milk carts.

Yeah, against Test on Heat. Actually, I could see O'haire and Test as a tag team. I could also see it. That's what you call a carry job. And let's not get into the 'carrying' discussion again. AndrewTS, I know what you meant, but i was genuinely stumped on a comeback so i just bought women up again

I didn't say he WOULD be, i mean, three years ago, who'd have predicted that Lesnar would headline WM19? You never CAN predict these things, i mean, Kurt Angle supposedly wont be here in three years, but i'll tell you right now, in one form or another, Kurt Angle will be on WWE television in 2006. On to O'Haire again, Does he not remind anyone of Kevin Nash in any way (beside his buid and long hair ) He also has the tall thing going for him, won't say hoss, but he's got the size thing that'll get him ahead of Spanky and even Mysterio in years to come. He'll be there or there abouts in a few years.

From FAR away.

Okay, we've established the guy has no ability at the moment (although i stress i dont agree) But how about three years from now? Main event?

Seconded. sorry CWM, that was for my 1000 thread

Andrew: Stacy Kiebler or Mae Young to open up Raw? Nobody cares about someone's look? Wanna bet?

What's your strength?? Pissing others off who can't be arsed to read sdrawkcab?

I dont know about that, but now you mention it... no, i still dont know about that. O'haire does have a unique look about him though, THAT's why he's not compared to other green workers like the aforementioned Conway and Grenier, but then again, i dont consider the man to be green.

I know that

.sofa my off get to taken time the waste wouldn't I

Venis sucks? Yes. I've never liked him tbth, but he can never be anything more than his current porn gimmick, (see: RTC, Sean Morley) Maybe i'm the only guy who didn't like the COS gimmick.

And when the hell is that two words?

No!!! Dont start talking like that crap outside of NHB!!!!!
