Damnit, Wrestlers are NOT Actors

[Guest Anglesault]

Here, crush my self esteem

[Guest MrRant]

Yes.. but you don't have the 1000th article on TSM.

 

That is mine. And where is my plug? And you ripped me off. I already covered Piper. Get with the times yo.

[Guest CanadianChick]

The most offensive case of this in recent memory, was, surprise surprise, Test. Let’s take the way-back machine all the way to January. The match is Test vs. Chris Jericho, which is occurring because Test took Chris out of the Rumble in a move that annoyed me in more ways than I have time to count. Anyway, Jericho, of course, nails Stacy with a chair, leaving her dead or something. So, how does ol’Adam react? Well, if you said “Comedy style over acting that is closer to a cowboy lamenting the death of his horse in a mock western than a man expressing worry and sorrow for his girlfriend,” well, DING DING DING DING DING! To paraphrase Nik Johnson, there is no reason to put even a shithead like Test in a position where he has to do that. If Test can’t act, THEN DON’T GIVE HIM AN ACTING ROLE!

 

Um, don't you mean Andrew? What does Edge have to do with the angle?

 

Other than that, it was fine.

[Guest Anglesault]

Your article says 1001 (1000) and mine, done hours later, is 998. (997)

That is some odd shit man.

[Guest AndrewTS]

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TEST'S REAL NAME IS!! It's Test? Who gives a fuck.

 

Excellent job otherwise. And Booker vs. Christian wasn't going to be a great match, I think anyone thinking otherwise was kidding themselves. Christian isn't a very good singles worker. For most of the guys his size in WWE, he's plain mediocre. Still, he's got a good character and can work the mic, so him getting a little bit of a push is good to see.

 

Sean O'Haire was the first one mentioned when we get to the "meat" of the article. Figures. He certainly earned it.

 

BTW, it helps your article if you cut down on the swearing. Sounds more professional. I know when describing the ability of Test it's difficult not to say "shit" or "fucking" but try.

[Guest Anglesault]

I actually started working on it Thursday night. That might be it.

 

You got your damn plug, BTW

[Guest CanadianChick]

Maybe so, but he put Adam in there. I don't want Edge's name to be disgraced like that.

[Guest MrRant]

Goddamnit we wrote the same damn article. Read my thoughts on O'Haire as well.

[Guest AndrewTS]

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT TEST'S REAL NAME IS!!  It's Test?  Who gives a fuck.

Maybe so, but he put Adam in there. I don't want Edge's name to be disgraced like that.

Oh yeah, that's right. Doh, and I put the wrong punctuation marks at the end there.

 

It's been fixed to "Andrew."

 

Damnit, why do I have to have the same first name as Test?

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Very nice AS.

With the uncreative team could one argue that "a writer's job is never started?"

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Billy Kidmans promo was so fucking bad. I mean, he could have said what he said in like 3 sentences.

 

Josh: Billy Kidman, what are you thinking about right now?

 

Billy: I hate being on the sidelines like this when I should be in the ring competing for the cruiserweight title. Seeing guys like Rey and Dragon in the ring like that, it gets me all worked up. I can't wait to get back in the ring and show to everyone that I am the best cruiserweight alive today.

 

Josh: There you have it, Billy Kidman a man with his sights on the cruiserweight title - a man looking to knock Rey Mysterio off the top of the mountain. Back to you Tazz and Cole.

 

NOT HARD. It also didn't help that it was clearly staged after the event occured and Josh Mathews is a horrible interviewer.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Very nice AS.

...until 6:30 PM the day of the show.

 

"Get more napkins and keep writing, assholes!"

[Guest Anglesault]

Did anyone else expect Doris Roberts to show up behind Kidman?

[Guest OnlyMe]

To paraphrase Nik Johnson, there is no reason to put even a shithead like Test in a position where he has to do that.

 

I got my mention. That's all I care about.

 

Good article, you are quite right about Test not being able to act, and how badly it reflects on him when he's forced to. But then there's the flipside - the guys that got over without doing the goofy sketches - the Hardyz, Benoit, Tajiri (although he was doing those stupid things with Regal), they just serve to prove the point that THEY DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING ACT.

I remember the time where the Hardyz actually had to act at Royal Rumble 2000. Man, that was painful.

 

Jeff: Terri, NO!

Is Vince wearing a Dark Helmet costume screaming about how he is surrounded by assholes?

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Jeff: Terri, NO!

 

Oh SHIT, that was a running gag between me and Curry for the longest fucking time.

 

Best...Acting... Ever.

[Guest Anglesault]

Terri was better that Matt and Jeff together that night.

 

Terri.

[Guest CanadianChick]

Come to think of it, that PPV (RR '00) was a goldmine for unintentional comedy.

He's slightly too levelheaded for the role, but since Heyman no longer is a writer he'd have to do.

 

Some one else used the Spaceballs reference with the writing team already though.

[Guest Anglesault]

edi: misread the last post

[Guest CanadianChick]

Alright guys, I just finished watching the Tazz/Angle match from RR '00. Now, it's time for the Hardyz interview with Terri. Wait for it........

 

YES!!!

 

"Terri, no!"

[Guest OnlyMe]

So what actually happens in that interview? I haven't seen the PPV since it first aired.

[Guest KingOfOldSchool]

Shawn vs. Ric : THIS was a fun match, and it was DAMN good up until that table spot. But I don’t think it suddenly hit the shitter after that spot as many people are claiming. It was a great beginning, that degenerated into and above average match. Such a shame. The true crime was the total lack of time.

 

Well, there would've been better use of the time given, if Shawn wasn't spending 5 minutes pulling a worthless table spot out of his ass.

 

Eh... I've said why I don't like the match, and yes, HBK's total disregard of everything done to him at that point, the table spot and the fallout afterwards is a big part of that. All of the above combined, basically pulled that match right down into average; and disappointing, considering what Flair (even at his age) and Michaels are capable of.

 

Anyway, good stuff, AS.

 

And oh lord, how Kidman needs a manager. No, not a valet who only knows how to show off her skin, but an actual manager who can talk for Kidman. But I'm not even sure he's really worth that much of an investment anymore.

[Guest CanadianChick]

So what actually happens in that interview? I haven't seen the PPV since it first aired.

Micheal Cole is asking Hardyz and Terri for their thoughts on the upcoming Table Match with the Dudleys. Terri says something to the extent that 'we are going to tear the roof off of MSG' and then Jeff interupts her with an emotion filled "Terri NO!" and says that she's not going out there because it's too dangerous. And then Matt babbles on about how they are lucky to be in the WWF (which really has nothing to do wiht anything) and how they are going to succeed or die trying. That is pretty much it.

[Guest Anglesault]

So what actually happens in that interview? I haven't seen the PPV since it first aired.

Terri starts rambling about how the three of them will put the Dudz though tables, and Jeff cuts her of with the classic line, tells her it's dangerous, and tells her to wait in the back
