Test was the only one without a belt and they needed a bullshit reason to keep him.

Test was the most well-known, and the most talented.

So Test is more talented then:

 

Hurricane

Booker T

Kanyon

Raven

Rhyno

and all the other WCW/ECW members?

 

I don't think so..........

Page was already in due to him getting raped, killed and massacred in the Taker feud, he was really never mentioned as a true WCW guy at the time.

 

Barring Booker T (who was given a much better way of fighting back to get in WWF), and Hurricane... Test is the most talented of that bunch.

Rhyno was hurt at the time.

 

Test is not more talented than Kanyon or Raven, or Lance Storm.

Or Billy Gunn. Or John Cena. Or Mark Henry.

Lance Storm may be a better rich technician, but Test has far more charisma, and he has a much better look. Same with the horribly overrated, Kanyon. Scott Levy's best are, and were behind him, and it was time for him to pack it up.

Could someone please explain the charisma Test supposedly has? At least we had elaborate, well thought out explanations on Benoit's charisma.

 

At any rate, it's plain as day that this is your grade A flame baiting going on here.

Ugh, I said why about 150 posts back. First off, Test's physical appearance is his main source of charisma. There's very few others that can match his strong body, and height. I think Test's facial expressions in and out of the ring have fit the characters he has played very well... such as with the UnAmericans now, Test seriously looks pissed off and kill people during matches and interviews. That may not seem like much, but that's something Benoit can't do in the slightest.

 

I also think he gets unfairly ripped on about his wrestling talent. OK, so he's not Angle, Benoit, Eddy, blah blah blah... I know. I appreciate the things Test does. He does awesome power moves and slams that get me into his matches. I am a fan of his finisher kick, that shows great flexibility, and it seemingly always comes out of nowhere.

I have yet to see anything of Test's that can top the thumb across the throat.

So Benoit can't have a "Pissed Off" facial expression? Sure :rolleyes:

Yup, you get that type of physique from the pharmacist.

Test's charisma: He slaps his leg and makes a mean face. PUSH HIM, DAMNIT. And Test's evil facial expressions don't work on me. There is something about Mr. Ed gone bad that doesn't frighten me, I'm sorry.

After reading the Raw thread, where so-called "intelligent" posters such as bps, Anglesault came up with every excuse possible as to how Test didn't get heat tonight... I had to reply.

 

Test got heat when he replied to Taker, and it was real. Taker was the one exploiting the American bullshit... Test went out there, got booed, did his speech (which he did smoothly and confidently) and was booed throughout the whole segment. For those who say Test doesn't get heat, are totally full of shit now.

 

Then, the match to end the 1st hour... Test once again gets heat coming to the ring, and was in the ring for the majority of the 6-man tag. It was nothing special, but I rated it around **. Test did good work... and again, at the end of the match, the crowd was very much into Taker chasing Test.

 

Good performance by all tonight, and I think that Test-Taker will be a really heated match this Sunday.

 

If you're gonna reply, don't make up bullshit like Test wasn't over tonight... Keep that in the Raw post, with the negative fucks like bps who keep spewing filth.

How in the FLYING FUCK does a TEST thread have 230 fucking replies?

 

I don't get it. Since Test didn't job to the UT tonite, he is OBVIOUSLY gonna job at SS.

Testkick, it wasn't Test not getting a reaction, it was Lance and Chistian. I swear, I heard a pin drop at the end of that match. And I have a theory on why that was...

WWE has spent all of their time with the Unamericans by getting Test over, because he has a pretty high profile match with Taker. In doing this, they have more or less ignored the tag match, and just mushed it together with the taker vs. test feud. What this did is not let the tag match develop on its own. SO when Tker and Test left, there was nothing to care about. The crowd really only cared about the Taker vs. Test feud, not the tag team feud.

 

 

Of course thats just my opinion, I could be wrong (thanks Dennis Miller)

I disagree. But the heat wasn't becasue of Test. It was just cheap heat by making fun of Taker. Taker is pretty over, donchya know? B)

Test's heat was entirely because of Test's great work tonight. The crowd was dead for most of Taker's cheap ranting.

No, the crowd was behind Taker. Test got some cheap heat for his purple Kawasaki, and upside-down flag. Then he got punked out by UT and the crowd loved it.

 

Test is dead weight on the Un-Americans

Can we quit the squabbling and act like adults for once? All this "Test just sucks, and he's dead weight, and he's never over, and you're an idiot for liking Test..EWW!" style comments without substance to back them up need to go. Grow up, people.

 

I'm jumping in this. I'm not on anybody's side, so here goes.

 

Contrary to popular belief, Test has been over. During the entire wedding angle with Steph, and even until WM17. However, he's went through a number of face/heel turns. That, and the fact he's never been done anything with has killed the heat he had.

 

Test had possibilities.

 

Remember the Steph angle? Who was the guy that got stood up? Test. Seems like the feud that should have logically been done..Test/HHH..was forgotten, or buried. Whichever. A missed oppertunity. Test could have been very over, in my opinion. It's not exactly rocket science, and dosen't require much speaking ability. Typical "Guy gets his girl stolen, kicks the other guy's ass" kind of bit. But it got thrown to the side until Test was finally paired with Albert, and turned heel somewhere.

 

And to whoever brought up the "body by pharmacist" bit, Benoit was obviously on the juice, too. So don't be picking at other people while turning a blind eye to your heroes. Does it really matter HOW he got to look like he does? Not really. He's tall, and muscular. Two things Vince tends to look for. *shrugs*

 

So a guy like Test will never be as good as Benoit is, god forbid. I mean, the guy is so terrible that he shouldn't even be in the RING. Damn him.

:rolleyes:

 

As I've said before, he's an above average worker for a big guy. (And for those who haven't noticed, bigger guys tend to suck in the ring.) Even though he's no Benoit/Angle/Eddy, he's still better than Rikishi, Albert, Bull, Mark Henry, or Bradshaw. Face it. No big guy is ever going to have the 'technical wizardry' a smaller guy is capable of. It's almost stupid to grade them on the same scale. (Especially in the IWC, where a small guy will come out on top 99% of the time).

 

I don't really know what's up with this hate. There's not very much of a solid base to it.

 

"Well, he's friends with Shane. Friends with Shane means he gets a push. Push for Test is bad."

 

Do I see visual evidence that his friendship with Shane is granting him anything special to the other guys? No. If that was the case, he'd be somewhat like Regal..who seems to always have gold around his waist. Or Bubba, who Jim Ross always reminds us is "Bubba Tough". Or Triple H, who's booked in so many segments a night it's obvious his relationship with the head writer may be influencing the product. Sure, Test has had championships..but they've never been very long reigns, or very strong ones, either.

 

"Well, here's the monthly Test push..*groan*"

 

Perhaps we're not watching the same television here. A push is what Brock Lesnar is getting. A push is what Edge has been getting. A push is what Triple H has been getting. That said, Test hasn't really been getting a push. Periodic 'shoves', yes..but not a push. A push is generally noted by major wins..(Edge over Angle, soon Lesnar over Rock, Triple H over everybody..) All Test gets is beat around by Rikishi, or the Undertaker. So he got a win over the Taker. Whee. It was in an EIGHT MAN TAG. A win in a tag match wouldn't mean nearly as much as a win in a singles match. Particularly when you have three other guys to help beat the guy you're pinning.

 

"Test lacks heat."

 

This can be said for a lot of people. I'm not even going to get started on this. Simple fact is, heels don't usually get much heat..unless you're 2000 HHH, or Vince McMahon. Yeah, the crowd went silent when Test pinned Taker. I don't know..maybe because they got so fired up..and thought Taker would WIN? Oh, that can't be it.

 

For a group of people (smarks) that prides itself on liking guys not normally cared for in the mainstream (Benoit)..and somebody shows up here who likes Test, and gets ridiculed. That'd be called being hypocrites, wouldn't it? Nah. Liking Benoit is a totally righteous thing, while liking Test appears to be an act of the devil himself.

 

Sometimes I wonder about this board. I really do.

Wow...

 

Very well said, EPD. We don't always see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, but DAMN! What a rant.

 

One thing though, no matter how much logic you try to use, some people around here won't listen anyway(I don't think I have to name names here).

Diablo: Your logic is flawed.

 

1. The HHH/Test feud didn't happen for a reason. Namely, Test had no business in a main event feud like that. Period.

 

2. We don't think Testkick is an idiot for liking Test. However YOU have to be an idiot if you missed his blatent flame-baiting.

 

3. Test is constanly booked to be a badass (Corperation's Hired Gun, Can't be fired,Kan/Test feud), and it NEVER works. If you can't admit that then you are a liar, pure and simple. He has been given chance after chance to prove himself and been routinly met with crowd apathy.

 

4. About the Benoit juice thing. Benoit fans have never claimed that his physique was the reason he gets over, as Testkick does. Benoit's workout habits are irrelevent to this matter and bring them up is yet another cheap heat tactic.

 

Stick to the facts there, buddy.
