Guest Human Fly Report post Posted February 14, 2003 I'm going to be optimistic. Matt Hardy will win the CW title from Kidman. And then Tenacious Z will come in and feud with Matt Hardy. Z will have no problem getting over. What name will they give him, or will they let him use Tenacious Z? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted February 14, 2003 If they give him his real name, he'll be the Type A guy mentioned above. If they give him some silly stage name, freakshow here we come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 14, 2003 The first time we see him legless will be after DeMott attacks him. Cole: "omg he ripped that kid's leg off...what a damn bully" Taz: "Ha...i guess he's a one legged man in a ass kicking contest" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted February 14, 2003 So how long into his debut will he get beaten with his own leg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted February 14, 2003 He could also get a War Vetern gimmick. Or he could be a random spot guy in the crowd who gets to team up with (insert face here) against (insert heel tag team here) and gets a surprise win. And then Maven could turn heel because *he* was supposed to be the plucky young go-getter in the company and now that spot has been taken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Goodear Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Anything has to be better than Tenacious Z which sounds a lot like the horse that Homer and Bart trained to win races and fight the horrors of the jockeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 14, 2003 So how long into his debut will he get beaten with his own leg?

Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Anything has to be better than Tenacious Z which sounds a lot like the horse that Homer and Bart trained to win races and fight the horrors of the jockeys. Let him keep Tenacious Z as his name and bring in JB and KG as his managers. I think of the D every time I read his name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted February 14, 2003 if they did the demott deal they could two things they love push demott AND steal from theselves (sorta Shawn-Diesel with Mad Dog Vachon) Jack Black on WWE TV would replace Ben Stiller as my favorite surreal cameo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dames 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Check out Jago's thread for a clip of his Asai Moonsault. The kid is a high flyer believe it or not. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted February 14, 2003 I've never seen him wrestle. How mobile is he? He's just slightly slower than most "cruisers" in terms of getting around the ring. But his moves seem to be normal speed of anyone else. After you get past the initial "holy shit he's only got one leg" shock you tend to forget that he only has one leg.

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted February 14, 2003 I, for one, think this is great news, and if pulled off properly, might actually get me to watch WWE TV again. But first I gotta see that clip of the asai moonsault... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mikazuki Report post Posted February 14, 2003 http://ironhead06.home.mindspring.com/Z02.wmv There's the video. He moves as well as a 3 legged dog, which is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But his moves seem to be normal speed of anyone else. Slower? Aha, then he already works the CW version of WWE Main Event Style, what's the problem? Just slightly. I did't mean it in a bad way it's just that he'd have to be at least slightly slower with only one leg. Of course being a cruiserweight in WWE doesn't require "speed".

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Just wondering. What if he got into a feud with Triple H's faction. Normal Heel beatdown, and then Ric Flair goes for the Figure 4 leg lock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jessecartieri Report post Posted February 14, 2003 YOU SOLD OUT! YOU SOLD OUT! Hope you can learn the one legged kick, Z, that will be half your offense after HHH decides you can't work. He'd be better off in TNA, and don't say Russo would fuck him up too. Has Vinny Ru REALLY done anything really really bad like he did in WCW (which wasn't THAT bad, most of the people he pushed are getting fucked in WWE today) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Gowen signed with the WWE. Vince McMahon didn't put a gun to his head and force him to sign a contract. What happens to him once he gets their remains to be seen, but this was is choice and not anyone else's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Yes, he sold out. With the rich history and all the years that they put into developing with the NWA just to abandon them and leave them out to dry is absurd. Seriously, how many people don't grow up dreaming about wrestling for the WWF. He is getting that chance, getting a chance to make some decent money probably, and may be able to become a bigger star than NWA would ever be able to make him. By the way, I pray for the day I can sell out for anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted February 14, 2003 If they book him as a sympathy angle initially it could work "the underdog upsetting the odds" that would of course be kinda offensive to a lot of people but hey screw em! Then they could do the pirate gimmick as mentioned above, Jeff could be his cabin boy seeing as I'm sure he has scurvy anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
