Guest Anglesault Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 So, now that we have a pair of evil Frogs, how should Vince book them? I think you should book them to really BE the personification of France (At least in the American Eye.) A) Make them stupid as fuck. Backstage, make them be bumbling imbeciles who can't do anything right. Have them watch evil heels perpetrate evil acts, and claim to see nothing. Have them think that the heels do nothing wrong. (Not in the traditional heel sense) B) Make them cowards Have them "surrender" before a match even begins. Have them constantly run away from even a minor threat. (Terri, Spike) C) Asshole whiners They expect to be bailed out of everything but refuse to do anything worthwhile in return. D) Make them roadblocks Have them get in the way of ALL faces, but not as heels, but idiots. They can make this a nice comedy gimmick.
Guest Downhome Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Doing that, would be the most entertaining thing on WWE TV since the Austin/Angle deal.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I also want a German Inspector who can't find his hand in front of his face.
Guest Downhome Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I also want a German Inspector who can't find his hand in front of his face. We would also need a new faction, called The UN, your German Inspector could be their valiant leader.
Guest raptor Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Why can't they just book them as a dominating heel team? 3MW failed, and they may need unstoppable monsters to counter-act Kane/RVD.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Why can't they just book them as a dominating heel team? That defeats the purpose of a French Gimmick.
Guest raptor Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Why can't they just book them as a dominating heel team? That defeats the purpose of a French Gimmick. Good point.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Don't forget about always watching Jerry Lewis and hitting others with baguettes.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Why can't they just book them as a dominating heel team? That defeats the purpose of a French Gimmick. Not really. It draws heat. I'd like to just say that I really fucking hate Vince's USA cheerleading gimmicks, especially in this age of intentionally taking the routes that offend the most people. Even the best of the nationalism gimmicks, the Hart Foundation 97 angle, blows IMO. I'm tired of wrestling reflecting prejudice and world events that I actually watch to get away from. </vent> Anyway, although your idea is kinda humorous (but then again, so were the Ass Cream skits), I think burying a couple young guys like that is stupid and counterproductive to developing new stars. Thus, the WWE will probably start it next week.
Guest teke184 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I want them to go totally Fabulous Rougeaus... complete with little US flags and "All American Boys" as their theme music. Annoying Frenchies pretending to be patriotic Americans = HUGE HEAT!
Guest The Czech Republic Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Dupree and Grenier aren't from France.
Guest teke184 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Dupree and Grenier aren't from France. Neither were the Rougeaus... annoying f*cking French Canadians are right up there too.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 *Is shocked that at the end of the list AS didn't say "in other words, much like Kurt Angle has been booked for most of his run on SD."* Remember to have them bitch about American food all the time.
Guest RevEvil Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 The irony in having a cowardly French team is that one of the most successful and popular wrestlers of alltime was french.
Guest Goodear Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Uhm, Edward Carpentier? Who are you talking about there? Anyway, I like the idea of the guys always submitting to armbars and headlocks. And they should eat a lot of snails backstage.
Guest Goodear Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Ah, well hell. Andre could have run away from anyone if he wanted to... unless they had a snake.
Guest MARTYEWR Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 *misses the Quebecers with a passion... *
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Originally, I thought having Lance Storm have some type of association with the "French Connection" would be pretty good. However, Storm being "Anti-American" has been played to death and people don't give a rats ass about Storm. It would kill them right out of the gate.
cawthon777 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I want them to go totally Fabulous Rougeaus... complete with little US flags and "All American Boys" as their theme music. Annoying Frenchies pretending to be patriotic Americans = HUGE HEAT! I was thinking the same thing. We don't like heavy metal, we don't like rock 'n' roll, all we like to listen to is Barry Mannilow! They can say they're going to move to Memphis because they love the U.S. so much ... but never do.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 The irony in having a cowardly French team is that one of the most successful and popular wrestlers of alltime was french. I thoughhht you meant Paul Levesque at first... ....
Guest creativename Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 The irony in having a cowardly French team is that one of the most successful and popular wrestlers of alltime was french. I have always loathed that fact--Andre is one of my all-time favorites. I really idolized the guy as when I was young. However, I despise the French with passion. I've been to France, and I must say that unfortunately, all the "asshole French" stereotypes you've heard are 100% true. It's sounds terrible to make such generalizations, but the French are just scum. The same thing with Napolean--I was real obsessed with Napolean as a kid, but after I came back from France, I just couldn't stand that he was French. The fact that he was really Corsican helps out a lot though--the other, real French kids actually made fun of him for his accent and stuff in school, and he hated the French until he became the uber-nationalist later on. Being the emperor of a country would help you patriotism, I'm thinking. As for Andre, I justify my being a fan of his by him being regarded as a real nice guy by just about everyone. Also, he was from a rural town, and the assholishness seems to be centered more in the cities.
Guest teke184 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 True dat. I've been to Normandy and the people were nice there. Parisians, OTOH, are NOTORIOUS for being assholes to everyone.
Guest Anglesault Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Why can't they just book them as a dominating heel team? That defeats the purpose of a French Gimmick. Not really. It draws heat. At this point, the French strike fear in NO ONE's heart. Through years of idiocy, fucked up revolts, electing a president and getting and emperor, and surrendering all the damn time, they have turned themselves and their culture into the joke. You can't expect them to come in waving French flags and taking pride in French culture and get anything but laughed out of the building.
Guest AndrewTS Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 I agree with AS. Maybe they just make them like the Rougeau Bros. with a slice of Ludvig Borga.
Guest El Satanico Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 New York...France...Other then Subways and every using a French accent...what's the difference. New York is full of assholes, so where's the evil new yorka tag team at?

Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 They should have a team from a country no one is familiar with - like Nauru or Moldova or Vanuatu - if these countries don't currently exists; all the better.
