Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted March 2, 2003 The fact that Batista is the only healthy one makes the comment about how "If you wake up in the hospital one day, battered and bruised, you'll realize Evolution just passed you by." even funnier. It's hard to get injured when you never leave your feet and 90% of your offense is the clothesline. I guess he can always tear a quad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted March 2, 2003 I think if they turn RVD heel, then being in Evolution would probably be a good move, actually, as that's probably one of the only ways for him to get legit heel heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MrRant Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Yeah but it will be cheap heel heat that will be gone the instant he is away from the group. If he develops a heel attitude then fine but I am so not a fan of that type of booking unless it is to develop someone as a heel with a little rub from being aligned with a heel group.

Guest teke184 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 The only time in recorded history when RVD had legit heel heat was when he was playing a WWF defector in ECW in early 1997. His style makes him a natural face so, unless they make him change everything he does in the ring (which they might do), he won't be an effective heel.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Putting RVD in Evolution would NOT get him heel heat because HHH isn't trying to get heel heat. He's still playing the tweener that loves to get a face pop and undermine his opponents. Now if he's out there trying to do that...and a guy the fans actually want to cheer is standing with him... Evolution would be full fledged faces within a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest teke184 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 More info on the Orton story- "The match was not scheduled and added to the card at the last minute due to William Regal no-showing for unknown reasons. " -411 Wrestling Methinks that Willy will be in trouble with his BUTT buddy Trips if he doesn't have a good explanation. While one thing has little to do with the other, Regal may get the blame for Orton re-entering the ring too early a la Kevin Nash in the ill-fated 10-man tag.

Guest jester Report post Posted March 2, 2003 I really hope they do a "leg at 95 percent" gimmick now. This gimmick can get him a lot of heet, especially if he uses it as an excuse to try to get out of wrestling. You know, I'll lay odds that Flair is the healthiest, most over, best worker, best talker and least injured out of all of the whhhores. and he's the semi-retired manager. How sad is that?

Guest MrRant Report post Posted March 2, 2003 I don't think there is anyone on RAW that would fit well in the group. Jericho is fine by himself, RVD would be interesting and if he did change his style it might work... there just is NOBODY that would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jester Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Same deal, and Rico is probably the best worker than OVW has produced, but they're doing jackshit with him. That's another thing I don't understand. Every time Rico is out there, the crowd chants "Rico sucks." They could probably make a good over heel out of him. But they seem to notice those chants about as much as they notice the RVD chants and the "boring" chants during Steiner matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted March 2, 2003 But is it because Rico is an effective heel or are they the typical "He's gay so he sucks" chants? I know his gimmick isn't gay but the whole hairdresser thing is what is in peoples minds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest teke184 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Rico's career is FUBAR because the booking committee was pissed that Jim Cornette and Jim Ross told them they HAD to take him. Cornette and Ross recognized Rico's talent and overruled the booking committee, who'd said that a guy as old as Rico (about 42) wasn't worth the investment in TV time. I personally feel it's an excuse to cover up how they're lazy motherfuckers and that they buy into Vince's big-man fetish. Kevin fucking Nash is nearly 50 and immobile but will get a huge push when he comes back. But Rico, who's only been in the business about two years despite being in his early 40s, isn't worth their time or effort. And as for the reason WHY Rico gets heat, it's because Cornette taught him how to play a crowd. When he was working the house show I went to, he was reacting to what the crowd did and yelling back at them, which kept generating more heat on him and Chuckabilly. It didn't have anything to do with the hairdresser gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know his gimmick isn't gay but the whole hairdresser thing is what is in peoples minds. Rico typically doesn't do much while 3MW wrestles. So if the crowd chants that while 3MW is in the ring, that tells me they're more interested in booing Rico. But that's all speculation. So...maybe they could chop 10 minutes of promos out of Raw, give him a match and find out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
