Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 # As you may know, WWE is doing a racist gimmick with both Rodney Mack and Jazz and has aligned them both with Teddy Long. For the past few weeks, Mack and Long have been involved in a segment where Mack basically destroys jobbers, called the "five minute white boy challenge". Oddly enough, the current plan is for Tenacious Z, the newly signed one-legged wrestler, to put an end to the streak. I'll be sure to post more details as I receive them. 1wrestling.com So What does this tell ya... That despite beating white boys under five minutes Rodney Mack may get his ass whopped....in a contest...with a one legged man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 29, 2003 If this is what they had in store for D'Lo Brown, part of me is glad he's not there anymore. By the way, I've never seen Tenacious Z. Does he have a fake leg or does he hop around on one leg? And how obvious is his fake leg? Does he wear long tights/baggy pants or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted April 29, 2003 The clip I saw had him in a Big Show style thing, with two shoulder straps. His leg was exposed, and he hopped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 29, 2003 The clip I saw of him doing an Asai Moonsault was quite well done for only one legged. Although, I still have to see his actual in ring work. As I still only get WWE. Didn't we joke about Mack getting his streak killed by Z? Well, guess the jokes on us. As Big Brother WWE was listening and is giving us what we want.

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Well maybe they won't make it as obvious as it is. you know give him a bionic leg, like Raven's Bionic Boot. WWE is bad but it shouldn't be a circus like what TNA is like sometimes with Midgets and cage dancers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 YES!!!!!!!!!! Z rocks baby. I haven't seen him wrestle, but, hey, the ideas better than anything WWE has done for ages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 29, 2003 He is outstanding considering, I really like the guy. I can't wait for him to debut, it'll be great. I haven't talked to him in a few weeks though. Yeah, he doesn't (usually) wrestle with a "fake" leg, and he basicly hops. He performs better with one leg however, than many of WWE's current performers. Just wait untill you see his One-Legged Rana, seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 30, 2003 TZ! Thunderzone Wrestling's own. Michigan represent! Sorry...anyway he hobbles around real fast so an Irish whip actually works. Durring his short stint in ECW everybody stopped the mack, so send in some random ECW guy to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Well apparantly Canada can as well as TSN cut out the white boy challenge for the second straight week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Galactic Gigolo Report post Posted April 30, 2003 WWE is bad but it shouldn't be a circus like what TNA is like sometimes with Midgets and cage dancers. Have you read TNA results lately? Midgets haven't been used since like Week 10, and the cage dancers are the same thing as the Nitro Girls. They're there to provide something for the audience to look at when you're transitioning between a match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted April 30, 2003 The WWF should've had Jeff Hardy be the first victim of the white boy challenge before they fired him. That being said I can't wait to see TZ debut. I am pretty sure that he will get over pretty big. Hopefully they don't yank the rug out from under him when he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Well I guess his opponent doesn't need to worry about any enziguiris or anything. Honestly though I've never seen TZ work apart from the Asai Moonsault (which was excellently done, BTW) but I just hope they don't milk him as some sort of sideshow then drop him when "they don't have anything for him to do". With Gerwitz and StepHHHanie trying to write for him, I'm scared about where this might end up. Building up someone with a physical handicap but is also talented is one thing. Using him as a "look at the gimp!" attention getter is another. And no, I meant no offense to any handicapped people in the audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted April 30, 2003 I've never seen him wrestle, but how does a one legged man wrestle? I just can't see how that would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Does he ever wear a prothesis/fake leg and use it as a weapon? Cause that's what he'd probably be doing in WWE - running around whacking people in the head with a leg. And I am also very curious to see how he wrestles on one leg. WWE should get some dancers or cage girls or send Stacy out to shake her booty during the break or something. Anything is better than doing nothing and watching the crowd sit on their hands when they come back from commercial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 This kid is the real deal. He's the ultimate face in peril and he is maybe the best story in all of wrestling today. Oh...and Trivia...July 2002 called and it wants it's TNA moments back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Hmmm maybe to fight off Tenacious Z, Teddy Long can bring in Willis McGahee as a one-kneed wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted April 30, 2003 For those of you curious, if you go on Kazaa, search for video files, and type in "full match", "NWA", "Tenacious Z" or anything like that, you could come across a match between Z and BG James (I believe that's the name he uses. It's the Road Dogg, only fatter). Then you can see how a one-legged man wrestles. Personally, I say that I don't care WHAT they do so long as they debut him properly, and NEVER BREATH A WORD ABOUT HIS LEG. With this White Boy Challenge, I think it's the perfect thing. Z comes out with his fake leg on, in track pants. He gets laughed at because he's a small dude anyways, but he never reacts to it. Just gets in the ring, stares Mack dead in the eyes, then takes his track pants and fake leg off, without blinking. Think of the reaction that would get. After that, I hope someone beats him down in the locker room using his own fake leg, but whatever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Now it has no effect on me since I don't live in Canada but considering TSN has cut out the white boy challenge both weeks I wonder if they'll cut anything involving Tenacious Z? Just a thought and maybe anyone who lives in Canada could field that question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Even being a one legged wrestler, its not the most unheard thing in Wrestling... Z maybe the truly one legged wrestler... but hell Kerry Von Erick was the one Footed wrestler.. and Raven was the Irregularly sized Feet wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted April 30, 2003 Now it has no effect on me since I don't live in Canada but considering TSN has cut out the white boy challenge both weeks I wonder if they'll cut anything involving Tenacious Z? Just a thought and maybe anyone who lives in Canada could field that question. I am not 100% sure here, but I believe the reason they cut the Mack segment out of Raw was because it was the segment they have deemed to be the most pointless on Raw(not involving a main eventer or known star.) Because Raw runs like 5 minutes late, they feel the need to take out a segment to have it get closer to 2 hours. They do this on late replay during normal weeks and have done in the past when Raw was taken off for Leaf games here in Ontario. My guess is that as long as Raw is not yanked for hockey, they will probably show the segment. Of course, if the playoffs are still going on and they don't do a Maven/Rosie II or something equally pointless, then they probably won't. Of course, being a big fan of Mack, it's tough luck for me. Why can't they yank Raw the 49 other weeks of the year when I don't care about it at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
