Lord of The Curry

I actually have hope for this. It's stupid, it's foolish, but regardless, it's there. The evolution of this character started after No Mercy. He won the match using a move he uses sometimes but rarely gets a win off of. The next week on Smackdown he and Angle get into and Benoit (for once) DOESNT come out of it looking like a chump and the WWE actually decides to let him keep his heat on this weeks' SD. If they're doing it, they need to do it right. I'm talking bringing in Dean, Eddy, Jericho and Arn Anderson for interviews. Have Flair talk about him, maybe even Heyman. Tell the man's story. Make the fans feel what Benoit feels when he's wrestling. I'm probably setting myself up for a letdown here, but whatever.......... Oh, and I call that Farooq drops out of Team Angle 'cause of the ankle injury that Morgan and Jones tagged him w/ on SD. His replacement? John Cena.

No Kobashi vs Hansen? I call shennanigans on this list.

Neither is Shane McMahon nearly murdering Kane with a truck, but the WWE seems to treat that like real life.

RIP Matt Hardy's Career.

People can relate to Brock Lesnar? Goldberg? HHH? The Rock? Kurt Angle? How do you figure? The only wrestler that the WWE every marketed as a "working man's" wrestler was Austin during the attitude era. Other then that, nobody has come along that the fans can truly relate to. I suppose you could use Benoit, but the WWE hasn't established it clearly. The only other one I could see you get some use out of is Zach Gowan, as he was marketed as a boy who's living his dream.

Are you sure you want to do this project, Laz? I tried a few years back to do a presentation about the pressure to use 'roids in wrestling and I almost put my class to sleep. Unless everybody in there is a wrestling fan, you're fucked. Then again, the teacher is the only one marking you and they have to pay attention (for the most part) so if you feel the need. On the subject of psychology, it's a touchy thing, mainly due to the fact that it means something different to every person. Try not to get into too much detail, ie. Puro Psych or you'll put everybody to sleep. Basic storylines or archtypes are a good and easy thing to explain. The best match you can probably use that would be easy to explain is Benoit vs Angle from WrestleMania 17, as it carries many paralells and uses solid storytelling. Canadian God vs American God Grizzled vet vs Hotshot Amateur Former World Champ vs The guy who should be champ The match itself would work well for you, as the storyline was "Benoit keeps one-upping Angle", which was shown in a lot of different ways. - Benoit beats Angle in the amateur showdown early in the match. Angle responds by snapping and throwing a cheap punch at Benoit. - Benoit succesfully locks on the crossface and gets a tapout, while Angles attempts at the anklelock fail. - Angle's moonsault misses, while Benoit hits the diving headbutt. - Finally, Angle goes to his trump card, the Angle Slam, which Benoit kicks out of. Angle then becomes a desperate man and cheats his way out of the match. Easy, right?

That raw sewage thing was a comedy angle? I thought it was an inside joke by management on Show.

"Lover I Don't Have To Love" by Bright Eyes is a great song to put on if you just want to get laid and not be hassled about it. Remember the three steps to romance. 1) Massage oil 2) Scented candles 3) Barry F'n White. Write that down.

Thanks to Dennis Haysbert I find myself saying "Because I'm the fucking President" when people ask me why I do what I do.

If they're going by the rules that WCW went by, it's whoever can knock their opponent out and lock them in an amublance wins.

RIP Roddy.

How the Fuck was he not made to look like a top guy in 2001. When Austin turned he was the one who went after him and beat him. When the WWE beat the Alliance he was the mole who helped turn the tide of battle. In 2001 Angle was made into a top talent. There is no way around it. Hell he has main evented a fucking WM. He is a top guy. People who are bitching that Angle isn't getting enough of a push are just looking for something to complain about. He even made the fucking Undertaker tap out. Not a top guy in the company??? give me a break. Yadda fuckin' yada. The guy is STILL a retard, he STILL acts like a retard in the ring, he STILL cuts dumbass promo's and he STILL gets himself into idiotic "comedy" segments. Yeah, he's a serious wrestler that Kurt Angle. Do people know that there's a difference between wrestling in the main event and being treated like a main event wrestler?

That's a boot.

Made to look like a top guy? Oh fuck, keep 'em comin' guys, this Angle stuff is comedy gold.

That 6 minute squash-fest at Fully Loaded vs Taker was ***? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Either/or, really. I just don't see the point of two threads, even though you (Chris) started yours first so I edited my original post.

Let the shit begin, folks. Ya think they mention the wedding tonight?

Maybe he was a new gal in his life, 'cause they probably would've said "Stone Cold Steve Austin and Debra" if she'd have gone w/ him.

*Backstage at a WWE live event in 2001* Steph: Hey, Andrew, come over here, I have something to give to you. *Test comes bounding over* Test: Hey Steph, what's up? Steph: Can you pass this note to HHH? *A forlorn look passes over Test's face* Test: Uh, yeah Steph, sure I will. Steph: Thanks Test, you're like another big brother to me. *Steph walks away. Jericho walks by Test and notices the note.* Jericho: Steph sending HHH love letters again, huh? Test: Yeah. Here, you go deliver it, I'm sick of it. Jericho: Ten-four, daddy-o. *Jericho walks over to HHH, who is sitting and watching tapes of his previous matches at the time and tosses him the note* HHH: What's this? Jericho: I dunno, Test gave it to me and said to give it to you. HHH: Guess-uh, who-uh, likes-uh, you-uh? *HHH gets ~INTENSE~!* *Shot of Test getting taken out of the arena on a stretcher* JR: BAH GAWD TESTS NOSE IS BROKEN AGAIN!

Watch Austin vs Hall at Mania 18 for his "perspective".

Test is the Milhouse to Steph's Lisa Simpson.

Triple H? Triple fucking H? You LIKED the love triangle?! Jesus Fuck. I worry sometimes. The love triangle was one of the worst angle's in recent memory. It should have gone as such: - Kurt kisses Steph - Steph promises to HHH that he's the only one for her - Steph turns on HHH at Unforgiven and sides with Angle, thus making HHH a huge face. - Build your angles from there. Instead we got nothing, including a shitty blowoff match and no face turn for HHH or big heel run for Angle. I'd like to see these numbers indicating that the female demo actually cared about an angle.

I can't wait for Jericho to make a cameo as one of HHH's helpless human victims.

*sighs* That's our HHH. Always watching tapes and learning more about the business. I can't wait until he talks about movies and refers to himself as a "student of the game" and how nobody "eats, sleeps or breathes this business more then me."
