EL DANDY~! Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 OK. It's in the title...so if you wanna be surprised...don't read this. Chances are that the "cousin" that Noble was talking about is gonna be Spanky. Great. It's gonna be SUCH a Holly Family wanna be...except cooler, becuz everyone can work that's involved.
EL DANDY~! Posted November 20, 2002 Author Report Posted November 20, 2002 He's an indy guy who gotta tryout in Las Vegas and did EXTREMELY well. He has this finisher called Sliced Bread #2, which is like Spike's Dudley Dawg, but instead of a Diamond Cutter, he flips backwards into a Diving Reverse DDT. He has been in ROH and did really good. He'll be a great addition to the cruisers.
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Wasnt Spanky trained by HBK too?
Guest RickyChosyu Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 I'm a fan of Spanky, but I hope this isn't true. I mean, I really hope this isn't true.
Guest MixxMaster Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Who's Spanky? He's that fat kid in the Lil' Rascals....
Guest Si82 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Wasnt Spanky trained by HBK too? Yeah, he was.
Guest NoCalMike Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Spanky would be a nice addition if he lasted past this angle. I still don't think Vince and Co. care about the cruisers, but maybe with Heyman on board there can be an attitude change. I wouldn't mind seeing Guido come in and transform Noble into the newest member of the FBI....hehehe Noble could play the role of JT Smith in the original FBI
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Spanky is more talented than anyone on RAW minus Booker possibly so that means he will be buried right away. Plus, he is a smaller guy, so he has nothing working for him, except a decent paycheck now. The the sign at the 11/9 ROH show said, "Spanky, your 15 minutes here will be 3 minutes over there." Tim
Guest ryankeast Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Never seen Spanky in action, but from what i've heard he is a great addition to the Crusierweight roster. Do you think he will be called Spanky though?? Also Noble and Spanky (if the cousin is him) would be a welcome addition to the WWE tag ranks. Smackdown really needs more faces with Dvon, Orton, Batista, Snow, Ivory, Maven (I'm sure there is others) going to RAW. Spanky, Guido even Buchanen will be welcome. Also a returning Demott, Kanyon and Rhyno HAVE to be on Smackdown.
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 " Tim, you forgot Jericho." Or did I?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 " Tim, you forgot Jericho." Or did I? And what about Helms? ::prepares to have heart broken::
Guest ryankeast Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Good workers on RAW (in no order) = Jericho, Booker, Helms, RVD, Storm, Morely (don't call me Venis, Snow, Richards and even Dreamer
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Yes, you are right. Helms is a good worker too. Too bad he hasn't been able to do jack shit since 3/26/01. Tim
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 What did he do on 3/26/01?
Guest Bricks Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 That's when WCW was bought out I believe.
EL DANDY~! Posted November 20, 2002 Author Report Posted November 20, 2002 Cooke loves talking in dates...it's hella funny.
Guest The Hamburglar Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Sorry, even when he's dogging it Jericho is still better than Booker. His overall work is better and he's much more engaging. And he doesn't use the same sidekick about a bajillion times.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Just throwing in my 2 cents...Spanky's just fuckin cool. His gimmick is just this goofy/cocky bastard. *Still waiting for Guido*
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Jericho's work has been so sub par since coming to the WWF/E that it isn't even funny. Not that he was a great worker to begin with but that is a moot point. Jericho's in ring work is sloppy, is very spot oriented, and gets lost very easily. Not to mention his punches and kicks are not the best. Meanwhile, Booker has developed a move set that can work with anyone, is not sloppy, is easily relatable to the fans, and is unique (but not in an Indy Innovation/RVD bad kind of way). Jericho has had PRIME oppurtunities to show something in the WWF. HIs series against Benoit was way below what Benoit has done with other "Good" workers. His match in May 2001 against Austin was miles below what Benoit did with Austin a week prior. Don't even get me started on the mess that was 5/21/01 Raw Tag Match. Tim
Guest Brian Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 What about the Rock matches. He's gotten the most out of him aside from Benoit and Austin.
Guest the pinjockey Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 What about the fact that he brought Hogan to his most watchable match in his last WWF tenure. And add in the fact I thought his No Mercy match with Rock was just as good as the Fully Loaded Benoit-Rock match. Austin and Jericho just seemed to never click so that is the only person I think he should have had good-great matches with that he didn't. And I think Booker is god awful boring in the ring all I see is punches, slaps, and about 50 sidekicks a match. He only uses the missile dropkick once in a blue moon.

Guest Goodear Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Ohhh, Booker vs. Jericho in serious debate! Something new = YAYYYYYYY! Anyway, Jericho has the worst moveset this side of Edge with a complete lack of focus to the moves. That is to say, they don't build towards anything in particular since they all seem to bounce around Jericho's opponent's body. The reason Jericho works well with larger guys is simply that he's a good bumper with intreging mannerisms that bridge the gaps as the larger guys go from move to move.. sort of like Shawn Michaels did for Diesel, Undertaker, and Sid. But Jericho doesn't bring the same athletic offense to the table that Shawn did, and suffers as a result. Booker on the other hand, has built his offense around floaty striking moves like the side, sissors, and leaping side kicks. And while this doesn't lend itself to a convincing finish, it does allow Booker to at least have his matches go in one direction. Booker is also a pretty good bumper, especially considering his size, but usually doesn't face people with good offense since he's been facing Lance Storm, Regal, Christian, and Jericho so often lately. Put him in with a power wrestler like Steiner and Booker will fly around like a pinball. I fall slightly on the side of Booker, I just find his matches more convincing and his offense is a lot more palatable. I can't really say that either guy is knocking my socks off with psychology lately... so that's why I really haven't mentioned it.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 What did he do on 3/26/01? That was his last WCW match with Chavo Jr. on the final Nitro. I agree with Tim and Goodear on Jericho. The guy just hasn't done anything worthwhile except for the Rock feud.
Guest dreamer420 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Spanky is more talented than anyone on RAW minus Booker possibly so that means he will be buried right away.

Tim You should try watching RAW again then.
Guest Tim Cooke Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Yea, because RVD, Jericho, Bangs, Boy Lance are all so scary good. Tim
Guest Brian Posted November 20, 2002 Report Posted November 20, 2002 Boy Lance. That's funny, because he swings like a little girl.
