ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2002 I didn't get the DJ Batistia thing either....So I guess "DAVE" was a one time thing? Why don't they just use Lillian as National Anthem chick and Backstage interview and bring Fink back or use someone else... Don't say that. We might get Michael Buffer back for the whole show. Can you imagine a whole show of his long-winded introductions? Though...I always did think they should bring him in for WrestleMania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest notJames Report post Posted November 6, 2002 Yeah, and besides, Fink is the definitive voice of WrestleMania. No substitutions necessary. Buffer and his stupid catchphrase make me think of things like "Bret Clarke", Hogan's lame wCw main events, and those freakshow boxing matches Howard Stern promoted.

Guest Suicide King Report post Posted November 6, 2002 Truthfully, is it fair to say that they butchered the Batista push after his first Raw match? I don't recall Goldberg getting a standing ovation after his first match on WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WM 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10...all those had different people introducing the Main Event. Of course they were all celebrities... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall Goldberg getting a standing ovation after his first match on WCW. Well true...but they were trying to build Goldberg up as a heel, IIRC. Plus, Goldberg was fighting Hugh Morrus in his first WCW match, so interest was lost quickly right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall Goldberg getting a standing ovation after his first match on WCW. Good point. It's just frustrating knowing that they could be doing things better, yet don't seem to have a grasp on how. Mainly it was just me bitching and moaning. Guilty as charged And I just realized... Batista's teasers used the phrase "The Genetic Revolution". Didn't Steiner call himself the "Genetic Freak" or something along those lines? Sheesh, just what we need... another point of comparison to bury him further. As long as neither of them refers to themselves as a "Genetic Jackhamer"...

Guest Suicide King Report post Posted November 6, 2002 Maybe they'll form a tag team. They could be called Steiner and Batista, the "Test Tube Babies." So bad it just might not work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted November 6, 2002 They signed Steiner AFTER they started the whole Genetic rEVOULTION promos...so they could not restart again...Although, Any one remember Se7en? That's the gimmick I wish was used. Should have given it to Batistia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2002 As long as neither of them refers to themselves as a "Genetic Jackhamer"... Nah, that'll be Goldberg's new nickname if/when he ever goes to the WWE. Either that or that will be the new name of his finisher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
