Worst reason for a feud to start?

[Guest gusmahler]

Back in Mid-Atlantic wrestling, the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant was talking with his partner "Pistol" Pez Whatley.  Valiant was talking about how great he and his partner were and he mentions that Pez is the best black wrestler around today.  Pez gets mad, knocks Valiant out and grabs a paid of scissors from his pocket and cuts off Valiant's beard.

 

Why was he carrying a pair of scissors?

 

Unfortunately, last night's Smackdown may signify the start to an even stupider reason for a feud: Edge got a Japanese shampoo commercial over Booker T.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Personally...I beleive the shampoo commercial will set a new low.

[Guest El Luchadore Magnifico]

Yeah, the shampoo thing was pretty bad...but there have been some idiotic feud-starters in the WWF that are almost as stupid.

 

Jericho vs. Kane-Spilled Coffee

 

I know, I know, Kane was all mad about Y2J being one of the beautiful people or something, but the whole thing wouldn't have started unless Jericho spilled that coffee on Kane. Hell, Y2J just could have come out for a few shows and insult Kane's ugliness to start things off, and it wouldn't be nearly as dumb.

 

Eh...time for class. I'll think of more later.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Anything Russo did in WCW.

[Guest dreamer420]

The coffee angle is about the worst one I can think of.  Jericho smart ass comments get him in trouble because he spilled coffee on Kane.  I wonder who thought up that one?

[Guest]

"William Regal, why did you attack Test?!"

Regal: "I don't know. There's just something about him. He's got one of those faces..."

 

Lol. Classic.

[Guest ratboy]

The cofee angle wasn't all bad, as it did yield a great line from Kane: "I was never picked last for kickball!!!!

 

I still find that pretty amusing. I'm so lame.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

Though, the Japanese shampoo contract feud is certainly up there.  I would have to go with the Tatanka-Rick Martel from the early 90, which started, if memory serves, because Rick Martel stole Tatanka's ceremonial feathers.  I would love to be in the booking session when they decided that this was a good idea.  

 

I am sure there are probably sillier ones out there from WWF's age of bad gimmicks during the early to mid 90s, but I have either forgotten them or permanently blocked from my memory.

[Guest Anglesault]

Shane forcing someone to pretend they care about Test (Backstage) resulting in a bland Test feud.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

well im not sure but wasnt the start of the mean gene-mark madden fued idiotic

[Guest Tony149]

I'll also say the Kane/Jericho coffee spill and the shampoo commerical.

[Guest Hmmm]

I'm going to forgive the Shampoo one because of Booker T's: "Just because you know Kung Fu doesn't mean you know Shampoo".

[Guest Redhawk]

Booker T and Edge is number one, but I can think of some other pretty stupid ones.

 

--Jericho vs. Kanne (Spilled coffee)

--Flair vs. Vince (You insulted me 15 years ago)

--Kurt Angle vs. Benoit (Hey, neither one of us has a match at Wrestlemania)

--William Regal vs. Big Show (you peed on my leg. thankfully it was aborted)

--Chyna vs. Lita (ummm, uhhhh, can I have a match, please?)

--Booker T vs. Harlem Heat 2000 (That "T" is mine, sucka!)

[Guest treble charged]

What about Val Venis/Mankind?  "You stole a sock out of the garbage can, you bastard!"

[Guest cabbageboy]

Tatanka/Martel was an ok feud, I didn't mind the matches it produced at least.  Hell, I thought in terms of "you stole_ from me" feuds the Bret/Lafitte feud over Bret's jacket was worse.  

 

I don't know what the bookers are thinking.  They try to be all cutesy and funny, but in doing so they forget that while wrestling is phony they are supposed to convince us otherwise.  How hard is it to know the basics of promoting matches?  There are two scenarios for compelling angles:  1.  A match over a title of some sort.  2.  Intense personal hatred.  See, the Austin/HHH feud was cool because it had intense hatred.  The absolute best feuds involve hatred and titles as well.  I wouldn't say HHH HATES Jericho right now, but it would be better if he did.  

 

It's sad that the WWF can't realize that simple booking policy.  Does RVD hate Regal?  I dunno, not really.  Rock might hate Hogan now, but since he isn't there we don't know.  Does Booker hate Edge for getting a shampoo commercial?  Bah.

 

Real feuds aren't about shampoo or coffee and that crap, they are about two guys who really really hate each other's guts getting in the ring to settle it.

[Guest goodhelmet]

any angle that results in viagra on a pole. that's just pathetic.

[Guest KTA]

Booker is going to fight Edge over an endorsement to advertise shampoo.

 

He's an african american W/DREADLOCKS.

 

None of you know about this shit?

 

Will Triple H get pissed at Harvey Whippleman because he's not carrying his jericurl activator?

 

What

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

how about the current Kane/Angle feud, talk about random pairings with nonsensiquil angles. also Kane is WAY better than angle and angle will just blow this match so bad with his no selling lumbering antics.

 

 

dude, it's like i'm begging for anglesault to flame me.

[Guest goodhelmet]

"dude, it's like i'm begging for anglesault to flame me."

 

lol

 

yeah, it's like even the NWOites realize that the WWF is screwing up their angle and now EVERYBODY realizes the product is stale.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

I'd say that the HHH/Taker feud for WM last year was pretty stupid. Does anybody even remember why the hell they were feuding? I can just remember Taker's messed up blade job and HHH chucking the bike off the ramp and that's it. Oh, and Kane threatening to throw "Stephanie" off of a balcony to get Taker his match at WM.... can't forget that, now can we?

they were feuding because HHH said he was the game and undertaker said that it was his yard. plus Taker hadn't no sold the pedigree yet and he wanted to cross it off his list.

[Guest KTA]

Didn't Tank Abott have an extremely gay match/feud with his biker buddy/rival in WCW?

 

This guy, his name was . . .  was . . .

 

He wanted to come into the fed out of the blue in order to fight Tank, who's just started in WCW. Tank's knocked La Parka hard onto his BUTT with a few punches, sucked at his promos, and generally kills the drunk marks' buzz - so Russo decides to bring in his equally retarded "rival" who no one even heard a' before, and get him to fight over their 'skins.'

 

Therefore they fight in a SHIT SUCKING match, where they have to climb the pole and retrieve something.

 

The 'skins.'

 

Well, that made for a horrible match; we saw Tank swing a few punches, and then drop his hated rival over his shoulder on live pay per view while he's climbing the turnbuckles on his way to some motherfucking pole. . .

 

His buddy falls, and Tank wins him some 'skins' which had enough dire importance THAT THIS HAD TO BE SETTLED IN A WRESTLING RING POLE MATCH BY SOME GUYS WHO DON'T WRESTLE. Hudson talked about respect/pork chops or whatever and thier fued was treated as an afterthought and even then was barely explained.

 

This had to be the worst I'd seen because the guy was unknown, no story, no real build up since we've never seen him before. Then, he's left on the backburner and never fights until the pay per view, where he falls from Flab Abbot's shoulder and loses.

 

That's all we'll ever see from their feud. Fuck Rob Black, Russo was almost as careless.

 

Tank loses to Goldberg then and becomes a gay biker who bullies the Three Count team - and yet he would'v became a WCW champion in Russo's world if no one had stopped him. Somedays it seems like a much brighter possiblilty than having skinny bitch David Arketttte win the title.

[Guest goodhelmet]

I think the guys name was Big Al. And yes the feud sucked donkey balls.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

don't forget that russo wanted to give tank the world tittle.

[Guest KTA]

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

BIG AL?

 

WHAT?

 

Hhhhuuuu hhu huuuhh HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

 

 

Big GAY Al?

 

In a POLE match . . .  against a gay biker?  

 

Russo For-Lif suckaz!

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

oh yeah russo was a fucking genuis who the internet fans screwed over! SHAME ON US!!SHAME!!!

 

(sarcasm sweet sarcasm what would i do without you?)

[Guest Tony149]

The Tank Abbot/Big Al feud WASN'T Russo's idea. It was Kevin Sullivan's. Russo was out by then.

[Guest Tony149]

As for the HHH/Taker feud last year. It started after HHH cut a promo on Smackdown saying he's beaten everybody in the WWF. Taker came out and said he never beat him. Which lead to HHH/Taker at WM X-7.

[Guest KTA]

Yes, Russo didn't give antone a Big Gay Al match, but he gave them David - Page vs Jeff - Bischff.

 

That is still very bad.

[Guest KTA]

Yes, Russo didn't give anyone a Big Gay Al match (good for him!), but he gave them David - Page vs Jeff - Bischff.

 

That is still very bad.
