Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted January 22, 2003 This angle sucks from the start. The only room it has to move is that he gets more people behind him, other then that he's just going to cut the exact same promo every week. And all it's going to take is some redneck fan on tv to do something stupid or put up a bad sign to really hurt matters. Sorry, but this angle has been done before and done better before.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted January 22, 2003 The ONLY reason I like this angle, is simply because Teddy Long is back on my TV in a role where he belongs, I LOVE seeing the old school type managers come back. He was one of my favorite managers years ago, if you remember that. The man won manager of the year damnit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He almost looks like he was sick, but he seemed to move around and talk ok so hopefully he just lost weight to get in shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Haha, I wasn't feeling this angle that much with just D-lo cause he just didn't seem to have that passion ya know? But when Teddy cut that promo on Raw, I stood up and put my fist straight in the air. Just as long as WWE don't try something stupid and let Booker get anywhere near it....it'll kill his heat completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DerangedHermit Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Frankie: Coach is THISCLOSE to being a white boy. That would be the only rational explanation for the way he acts. And as I said before, AH-med Johnson needs to join the group so they can call themselves Long Brown Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PEA-NUT-HEAD!! **hopes others join in** **runs away** Haha that makes me feel like I'm at an NWA event in 1990, watching Long manage Doom against the Rock N Roll Express I wonder if they will reunite Long and Ron Simmons.

Guest Ram Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Teddy's been a referee for the WWE for years now. He lost the weight a little after his release from WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nikowwf Report post Posted January 22, 2003 D-Lo's angle can't possibly draw, its boring as hell and it has potential to draw fire from some people for its racist undertones. not a good idea niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2003 It was all right until they had D'Lo come out in Fubu crap. At that point nobody could take it seriously anymore. I don't know if even Teddy Long can save it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2003 Anybody else get a feeling we're gonna see Faarooq, Mark Henry, Godfather, and Ahmed Johnson join D-Lo and Teddy and form the Nation of Dark Temptations with JR shilling like he never saw anything like it "Good Gawd almiiiiiighty.....This is the first time in my 25 plus years in the business i've ever seen anything like this" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted January 22, 2003 The angle is not going to fly, simply because the fans don't want to see it and D'Lo has been so stale since 99 anyway. The angle is just a Truth ripoff except D'Lo sucks and The Truth can at least work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Samurai_Goat Report post Posted January 23, 2003 I think I'd be more for this whole thing if they brought a bit of origonality into it. I mean, "Free at last, free at last, free to cane a white boys ass"? Jeez, that had the poets of America united as one to praise his pure poetic...stuff. Or not. But really, this needs some background work, and some origonality. Of course, if they had any origonality, they wouldn't have stuck him in that role at all.

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2003 D-Lo is staaaaaaale.....he's done this already! IS that all they could come up with him.....a racist gimmick just because he's black. Anybody notice that if you're black and in the WWE your quota is to be in a t least one racism or stereotypical gimmick. D-Lo, Godfather and Kama, Mark Henry, The Rock, Faarooq, Ahmed Johnson, D-Von Dudley, K-Kwik...the list goes on and on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
