Guest JMA Report post Posted July 31, 2003 (edited) Is anyone else disillusioned with the feud between La Resistance and the Dudley Boyz? It just seems to me the Dudleys should have a better motivation to take the Canadian Frenchies down. Starting a feud because of someone's nationality is just... lame. It just makes the Dudleys the same as the team they're fighting with. It seems it would be better to base the feud on La Resistance's arrogancy, the tag titles they wear, and their anti-USA statements. But instead, you have Buh Buh saying the same thing about France. So, it's basically anti-France vs. anti-USA. It seems to me that the babyface shouldn't be against a democratic country. It would be more like a face to take the high-road and not hate anyone. In other words, this feud could be done better. Edited July 31, 2003 by JMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Well, they are the team that sports the Confederate Flag. Dudleys are supposed to be southern hicks who like to rassle. They don't need a complex issue to fight over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Well, they are the team that sports the Confederate Flag. Dudleys are supposed to be southern hicks who like to rassle. They don't need a complex issue to fight over. I think they lost the southern hick part of their personality. Especially since Buh Buh sounds incredibly northern.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 31, 2003 That aspect of the Dudz' character hasn't really been an issue in years. Although it sort of makes sense for them to be the tag team version of Jim Duggan when you think of it on that level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Yeah, that rubbed me the wrong way as well. I have already written up that match for The Booking Report, so I'm gonna retype that. Just wait a few days for a detailed analysis of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 31, 2003 I remember at either Raw X or some other time they were at WWF New York that Buh Buh said that they were close to home or something like that, so yeah. WWE Dudleys are different from ECW Dudleys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted July 31, 2003 I believe Chris Benoit is French Canadian. Triple H has some French in him as well. I think Chris moved from Montreal to Edmonton.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 31, 2003 La Res should catapult cows at their opponents and taunt them with really wise-ass scathing remarks. Yeah Bubba is from Jersey I think? No wonder he's a prick. ChrisMWaters isn't a prick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted July 31, 2003 Actually, I think La Resistance should be more like the ECW Dudleys. As in challenging fans to fights in the parking lot, spewing tasteless insults, and getting in the faces of fans. I had an idea for an angle involving La Resistance beating down Austin and then forcing him to eat French food. They would bring up his enjoyment of alchohol and force him to drink French wine. They would then pour it all over him. Next, they would force him to eat cheese and smear it over his face. After this, they force a croissant down his throat. Finally, they'd drape the French flag over him like a sheet over a corpse. That's how I'd book a heel French tag-team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2003 This whole angle is definitely the most boring thing on Raw. It's the equivalent of the Vince/Steph/Gowen storyline on Smackdown in that it makes me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan, and makes me want to change the channel immediately. The sooner they get La Resistance away from the tag titles and then off TV for good, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about this: They're French-Canadian and are carrying on the legacy of great French-Canadian wrestling. (Even though they're shitting all over the work of Patterson, Martel, and the Rougeaus.)
