Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted February 9, 2003 Mattiude is great but has Shannon Moore won a match yet?? And is he gonna use his Showstopper? That jumping Famasser thing was pretty cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted February 9, 2003 There were rumors that he was going to be released a few months ago. Then J.R. came out with the whole internet rumor crap. They found something for him to do after that, but he's getting squashed in under a minute and I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone before the summer.

EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2003 Truly a shame. That guy can be a great worker if they work to his strengths, which is innovation and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the 1inch punch Report post Posted February 9, 2003 Besides, Billy Gass still exists, so we aint gonna see no Showstoppa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted February 9, 2003 Yeah but Billy Gunn is most likely gonna retire since he messed his shoulder up again. At least he got a gay mariage in before he got hurt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted February 9, 2003 Moore is pretty terrible and small as well so he will never amount to much. However, he has a good role here putting Matt over without actually having any credibility himself. I would hold off the breakup. When Dibiase broke up with Virgil, both guys were worse off. Dibiase was enough of a name to have success in the tag division, but Virgil was finished after he jobbed the Million Dollar Belt back to Dibiase on Survivor Series Showdown (or whatever the hell they were calling it in 1991).

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted February 10, 2003 The guy is like, REALLY young. I think he's probably the youngest guy in the company. 23yo or something. Put it in perspective: He's not good, but he's as old as the new Tough Enoughers, and he's he's a lot more experienced than they are. Need to see how much better he gets over the next five years to really judge him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Showstoppa? Isn't Moore's rocker dropper called the Bottoms Up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Orton is like 22 years old. I hope Shannon Moore gets released so he can go to TNA. He would be alot better there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Moore's always been a good flyer and bumper who's never really been put in a position to get better at the rest of his game. He's carryable in that he'll work a story if it's in the match but in a spotfest he'll just break out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted February 10, 2003 I say let him put over Mattitude as much as possible, then release him after Backlash so he can go all Spotty 2 Hotty over at TNA. It's not like he's gonna put any asses in the seats for a WW_ event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest raptor Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Showstoppa? Isn't Moore's rocker dropper called the Bottoms Up? It's been called both. When Madden decided to call Shannon HB2K, he used the Showstoppa, but I believe the proper name has always been Bottom's Up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted February 10, 2003 NotJames said: It's not like he's gonna put any asses in the seats for a WW_ event But neither are the Tough Enoughers, that's my thing. And yeah, I forgot about Orton. If Hardy ends up putting his younger guy over better than HHH, I'll laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Why is everybody up in arms over Shannon Moore losing his matches? With the exception of his minute-long squash against Albert last week (which I don't think anyone will even remember due to Spanky's involvement), hasn't Shannon been getting more TV time and storyline focus than most? All his losses are meant to get HIM over, not the victors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Yeah, you can't just throw a WCW guy that most don't about onto SmackDown and have him win matches against hosses. Besides, his losses are there to contribute to a storyline, they are not in vain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted February 10, 2003 I kind of wish Shannon/Matt would tag team to give Los Guererros and Team Angle something to work with, but I realize the inherant danger of accidentally creating Hardy Boys Mark Two and once again pingeonholing Matt as a tag wrestler. I guess if a smaller spotlight singles run is the way things go, so be it. Moore only has so many single matches left before people realize he's not a great worker right now and the heat dies. And he's going to have to inevitably turn on Matt anyway, which gives Matt the oppertunity to find a new MFer and stick someone else into this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Aecas Report post Posted February 10, 2003 Was there actually any point in Moore getting splatted by Albert? Apart from the obvious repetition that Albert has very little talent and looks about as appealing as a roadkill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted February 10, 2003 That match was just background noise for the Spanky StreakFest -- brought to you by Nike Shox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted February 11, 2003 Also, Shannon went over DeMott once in his secend match in the fed and then got squashed several times once DeMott was imbued with HOSS POWER~! I don't get how that works... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
