HBK's voice.


Recommended Posts

I noticed on HBK's DVD that in the early promos featured he sounds a lot different than I'd always known him to sound like.

 

As far as I know, voices usually don't change much in your mid-20s. He had a voice more like what I'd have expected him to have, instead of the surprisingly deep voice he has now.

 

I think I'd heard some one (Yuna I think) mention that Richards' voice became more gravelly as a result of his neck surgery. Did something similar happen here, or maybe it just happened to deepen late, or what? Anyone know?

It could be just from yelling in promos, or he's been hit in the throat somewhere along the line.

RRR: Lemme guess, you wanted to make a gay innuendo? :P

 

And if it was from yelling in promos, I'd think it would have gone away. An injury to the throat would explain it, though I've never heard of it. I'd think with all the injuries he's faked he'd have used that one again.

... Or it could be from sucking McMahons cock all the time.

I've always thought that Shawn Michaels' voice has been kinda odd.

 

As for the Stevie situation, his voice got messed up when he was having neck surgery in 97. They had to operate on him a second time to fix his vocal chords because something went wrong, and that's why his voice is so different.

Shawn's voice has always sounded like that.

 

When he's a heel he tries to sound like a cocky bitch, which is why you may find his current voice different from his 1994-1998 run.

Steroid abuse can attribute to a change in your voice as well.

He probably jsut sounds deep for his promos or something....(off topic)If i was Brock i would make my voice seem deeper , he sounds like a 14 year old

It might be from lots of yelling, and perhaps smoking. Neck surgery as well.

that's my guess too

I don't notice any difference in his voice. Maybe his "Earlier" promos were laid back (as a Rocker), but other than that, I can't tell.

 

He's been sounding the same since like 1993.

I think he was talking about for the AWA Match.

 

Michaels sounds a LOT different then..

well its the same as Hennig's voice really. His also went graveller in that last year then his original stint in the WWF. So I guess you can say its age.

I agree, I was satisfied with Brock when they had him off the mic, but having this guy cut promos is hilarious...."I'm a big tough manly man with my little squeaky girly voice"

 

It's so fitting for a badass like him to sound like such a pansy!

 

YOU HEARD MY BROCK, WHATCHA GUNNA DO ABOUT IT?

He finally hit puberty.

Rico, we are you so jealous of him?

 

His wife > Any girl you'll ever get.

Yep. It's just a shame Michaels is gay. :P

Jealous? LOL That's a funny joke.

Please

Well, it seems HBK's changed in his 20's and Hennig's was when he was quite a bit older than that.

 

And his voice is still much deeper even in interviews for the DVD/Confidental.

Have you seen Rebecca before?

 

Yeah...You can pull that shit.

Even I, who hates HBK quite a lot (he's like HHH to me except he can work entertaining matches still), is disappointed in what this thread has degenerated into (no pun intended).

 

Can we get back on topic, please?

 

*Reads own post, reads own sig, laughs*

 

After seeing how this turned out, maybe I should rethink posting the topic "Why does Vince walk like a Bushwhacker?"

I'll say steroids. The same thing happened with HHH, Luger, Steiner to an extent. The odds of Pillmanesque throat trouble is limited, but then i've never especially cared for HBK, so i never look things up or whatever.

Guest T®ITEC

Pillmanesque? Didn't Brian Pillman always sound like that? I never thought that his voice got any deeper than what it was in, say, '92.

He meant the raspy voice he developed after the car accident.
