Guest Angle-plex Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 RVD has mic skills? You've obviously never seen ECW.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I love smark bias. I do, I do, I do. So Benoit, Angle, Eddy, and Edge deserve the title more than RVD does. Angle: I have no problem with. The guy is a "total package" to rip a line off. Benoit: Lacks the charisma and character development skills to be anything except a "killer". Eddy: Hate to say it, but he'd probably have the "Jericho Problem". (Too short) Edge: No real character ability except for being "goofy". Spear-happy moveset. RVD: The most over of the bunch. While his offense may not be "technically sound" but he gets the crowd excited. That should be the KEY requirement for a person to hold the belt. His promos aren't overdone like The Rock's, or monotone like Benoit's. He just sounds like a normal guy. That makes him easy to identify with..and cheer for. Good matches aren't necessarily a requirement for being a main eventer. God knows Hogan, Rock, and Austin aren't the most technical guys. However, they have the charisma about them that make them seem larger than life. Angle has it, and so does RVD. I hate to say it, but none of the other guys do. Wouldn't it make sense to put the belt on a guy people react to? (Angle/RVD). This may sound off, but Benoit isn't as over to the average fan as he is here. Want to bet? Austin was actually a 4 star ring general before he realized he didn't have to work anymore. RVD not only sounds like an everyman. He has this great "Whatever" attitude that is so cool.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 They way you said it suggests that Eddy has always had a drug problem, which isn't strictly true now is it?
Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Eddie has more pure, raw talent in his stool than RVD does. Same applies with Benoit. RVD is pretty good, but the only reason people pop for him is because of his spotty moves. I have a real problem with the fact when he does these moves, he sometimes noticeably misses. I'd say Benoit has better mic skills than RVD. C'mon did you see when brock took him out and recommended he didn't wrestle, and RVD retorts, "No way doc, I'm going out there" It sounded and looked so incredibly bad, I felt bad for him. There is a reason why is catch phrase is R-V-D because he isn't articluate enought o say much else. But WHATEVER
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 RVD has mic skills? You've obviously never seen ECW. Does bps have to type that promo from Barely Legal AGAIN?

Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I love smark bias. I do, I do, I do. So Benoit, Angle, Eddy, and Edge deserve the title more than RVD does. Yeah, because Smarks like Edge Good matches aren't necessarily a requirement for being a main eventer. God knows Hogan, Rock, and Austin aren't the most technical guys. Austin didn't have good matches? rriiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 They way you said it suggests that Eddy has always had a drug problem, which isn't strictly true now is it? Yeah well he's had too many problems to be a champ. Not to mention his age and the fact that he really isn't over enough for a run at the gold.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I'd say Benoit has better mic skills than RVD.

What was he suppose to do? Cut a promo on the trainer explaining why he was going out there? That was the Undertaker... not Brock. Benoit's promos/mic skills bore me. So, you KNOW they bore the casual marks. Plus, when the guy makes references to being stiff... well, then... *bows*

Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Well Steamboat deserved it, I am talking about deserving it, son. You are all crying foul that RVD deserves it, I am saying he doesn't - simple as that. Besides, Steamboat has a huge cult following as being one of the best. A following, that in the end, would be a lot more satisfying than one of a talentless hack who had politic to keep his spot. Exhibit A Randy Savage is a joke now because of his attitude Ricky Steamboat is respected by EVERYONE They started out on the same plain as a strong worker
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Eddy is a far better all-round talent than RVD. But, RVD is much more over, and marketable. So who are they gonna make champ?...Cmon its not rocket science. It does always make me laugh how silly some "Smarts" can be
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 The only time Benoit has shown me character is in the ring with the finger-over-the-neck. Other than that... nuttin
Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Eddie is 33, and had one stint in rehab. Boy, his career should be cut at the knees. You guys never cease to amaze me. If anything he won't win because of his size, nothing else.

I still love the guy.
Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 This is a discussion about deserving a title shot, Eddie deserves it more but won't get it. Why don't you read all the posts before psoting yourself, I mentioned this about 3 posts up
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Showing "character" in the ring isn't always about pointing to yourself, or raising an eyebrow. Benoit was massively over in Japan, and the US several times, he has enough ring charisma and character to be an upper mid-card definately.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 If anything he won't win because of his size, nothing else. I also think it has something to do with his race... but that's just me. Angle deserves the title more than Eddie, if you ask me.

I bet that has *nothing* to do with that.

Exhibit A Randy Savage is a joke now because of his attitude Ricky Steamboat is respected by EVERYONE They started out on the same plain as a strong worker Ok, I agree, Benoit does deserve to win the title more than RVD. But would that be the right move for the company? No way. People want to see RVD. He is a main attraction. He out pops Triple H and sometimes the Rock. Eddie deserves the title more than RVD? Fine. Would that be the right move for the company? No. Eddie isn't even close to being over enough. Edge deserves the title more than RVD? Why? What has he done that makes him deserve it so much? Hell, around this time last year, he was only a tag wrestler. Give him time. It would be much better for the company to put the title on RVD than any of the other 3. He produces exciting matches and is over enought to become champ.
Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I agree 100% Angle deserves it ahead of Eddie. Angle deserves it before anyone else, but thats a whole different story. He is a credible wrestler, with a greta look, personality, and charisma. The WWE should be basing their company around the guy
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I'm not just saying that RVD deserves a run with the title. I'm saying it would be good for business if the WWE to put the belt on him. Can't say that about Benoit or Eddy
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I don't understand what you guys mean by "Deserving" the title. based on workrate? or what? me confused
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 You guys sitting around saying RVD will never win forget how much business can be gathered in the old chase routine. Give it to him right now and it's almost meaningless. Make people really want to see the guy with the belt (and I'm not talking about smarks and I'm also not talking about people who simply pop when he does something crazy) and hopefully it will attract business again.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I don't understand what you guys mean by "Deserving" the title. based on workrate? or what? me confused There's a system I guess. Based on workrate, time in the business and how much Tripe H hates the guy.
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I haven't even been here a week and this is at least the third time I've seen this argument. Just saying...
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I haven't even been here a week and this is at least the third time I've seen this argument. Just saying... This should say something to you, and to the WWE. We want RVD as champ. Make it happen.
Guest TheHulkster Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 If you know anything about WWF/E, then you know that in ring skill isn't what puts guys on top, charisma isn't what puts guys on top, and promo skills aren't what put people on top. It's all about who they think will make the most money. If enough people are willing to pay to see someone, then they will be on the top of the card. The whole crowd could be chanting RVD untill their voices are gone, but if he can't raise that quarter hour number so Sega or Columbia Pictures say "Hey, a lot of people tune in to see that RVD guy. I'll pay you whatever you want Vince, as long as I can get my commercial spot either before or after his match!" then he isn't going to be on top. It isn't as black and white as many of you think.
Guest Xstasy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Bleh, I don't like RVDs mic skills.
