Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Let's Be Honest. Was there ANYOTHER way to get Rosey over? No. It's a Funny angle that CLEARLY has a shelf life of about 6 weeks before the joke gets old. It's a Angle for Comic Boy Gerwtiz to cream for... Hurricane has been one of the *very* few consistent performers at least in the Promo/Comedy aspect. Although S.H.I.T is very well stupid...I like the chemistry Hurricane and Rosey share and Hurricane's Facial's REALLY sell the obsurdness of this angle... The Kevin Smith Inspired Outfit was a Nice touch... However it left me thinking...Why does it seem that we have already seen this angle? It's a funny angle while it will last but it'll soon fall on the shelf of aborted Comedy Angles. It should be noted that WWE is now working with TWO "ODD COUPLE" comedy pairings...The Superheros and DustStorm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted August 5, 2003 To me, the entire angle seems flat and unoriginal. I'm surprised it's Rosie's over as he is. Unfortunately, now we're going to have to deal with the fans chanting "Holy Shit" during his matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Another good point... WWE is QUITE preoccupied with forcing the crowd to chant what *they* want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted August 5, 2003 I'm just surprised the censors allowed them to put "S.H.I.T." on the screen. Or maybe Vince is prepared to shell out the penalty money in order to get a stupid comedy angle over. Which it won't. Stupid humans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MissMattitude Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Yeah, both angles seem fun but I would much rather have seen The Hurricane and Storm partnered up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 5, 2003 I don't mind it at the moment - I don't think it would work unless Rosey was a massive samoan. It think it would be better if Lance Storm, Goldust, Hurricane, and Rosey formed some sort of aliance and they were used for the comedy segments each week on RAW.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 5, 2003 It's not that offensive anymore... SHIT is a Basic Cable Regular now thanks to The Shield and even Network shows have put it on the air. censors will likely say "Keep it on after 10" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted August 5, 2003 They're not even saying "shit" anyways. They're spelling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2003 I just wish WWE would better remember their past, and have a former superhero with Helms have something to say about this. Not necessarilly get involved in it, just maybe a few words. And for those who don't know who I'm talking about...Just Look At The Sig, Baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Old Me Report post Posted August 5, 2003 It's not bad at the moment, but let me make a bold prediction: Rosey will be fired after this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 5, 2003 well...If he can't get over...then they HAVE to. Unless you bring in Cousin/Uncle/Brother/Father/Sister/Nephew/Grandfather Rikishi to raw for a Samoan Reunion but Rikishi will have to shed the Hip-Hop Dancing gimmick and they will have to old school.... Rosey will serve no use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violence 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Don't forget Mack / Nowinski maybe we shouldn't bitch about it..... three more fresh tag teams, with guys who were not being used, teams with gimmicks.... more competition to La Res, if they let these teams stay together for a long period of time we have an improved tag division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Rosey has something here. He hasn't bad in backstage skits the few weeks. However, the outfit he came out in last night was downright embarassing. I was watching and my fiancee had a bunch of her friends over. When that segment ended, I was embarassed to be a wrestling fan. They thought it was so stupid. And frankly, so did I.

Guest Deviant Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Saskatchewan Hardcore Invitational Title. I swear I don't know my Russo booking trivia, only Lance Storm... I pressume Hurricane will give Rosey the proper make-over. That was Rosey's creation, so it had to be stupid. If they do stick with anything remotely resembling the original, then may god have mercy on us all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Why can't they just take Rosey off tv until Rikishi is healthy so they can reform the Head Shrinkers and add a tag team to one of their two thin divisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Rosey is the MVP of Raw. There. I said it. This "SHIT" thing is just stupid though. Now, I think we all know where this is headed. *Lance Storm uses Goldust to get to the Hurricane and reveals himself to be... you guessed it, THE STORM MASTER!!* Then you can have Storm trying to find out Hurricanes secret identity (like all good villains do) but that fails, so he... Storm (before revealing himself): Hey Hurricane. Hurricane: Citizen Storm, what is happening? Storm: Nothin much, I was just talkin to Goldie and we were wondering.... Can we see your Hurricave? Rosie: Yeah Hurricane, I haven't seen your Hurricave either. I thought we were friends. *Hurricane ponders* Hurricane: Alright then, but I will have to blindfold both of you to make sure my Secret Hurricave stays a secret! Storm: Wow, thanks Hurricane! *Really cheesy driving scene with an obviously fake background leading up to the Hurricave* *In the Hurricave* Hurricane: You can take off your blindfolds now, we are in .... the Hurricave. Rosie: WWWOOOOOOOWWW!!! Goldust: This is aw-aw-aw-aw-aw-AWESOME! Storm: Excellent. *Hurricane leads them on a tour of the Hurricave pointing out the tiniest details. Storm wanders off* Hurricane: And this is the Hurrilamp, and this is the Hurribed where I have my Hurrisex with the Hurriladies. Oh yeah, I know what's up wit dat. If you know what I mean... Rosie: Where did Lance go? Hurricane: Good question, Lance? Lance? *Cloud of Smoke* *Thunder* *Storm is dressed up in an outlandish outfit with lightning bolts on the side of his head and a silver mask. * StormMaster: AHAHAHAHAHHA! You fools! You FOOLS! Rosie: Holy Storm Clouds Hurricane! Hurricane: Who are you and what have you done with Citizen Storm?! StormMaster: Oh don't worry about Lance Storm, because I am here to RAIN on your parade aahahahahaha! I am the STORMMASTER! And I am here to destory you, HURRICANE! Rosie: The StormMaster?! Hurricane whatdowedoooo?! *Narrator: What does the StormMaster want? What will happen to the dynamic duo?

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted August 5, 2003 Dude that would fucking RULE! With the Hurricane they have established a universe. This is a universe which the crowd has accepted. This is the universe of the SuperHero. With this, they can do ANYTHING as long as it stays true to that universe and the fans will accept it. It is a strictly midcard gimmick, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes of TV time a week, and it actually can lead up to a match. The Merch from it would be amazing (ok, I just want a StormMaster shirt). Plus the group dynamic is great. Storm: Straight man entering new world. Rosie: Former Straightman willing to learn from the Goofs. What Storm could be if he follows along. Hurricane: A goof. Goldust: The goofiest goof to ever goof.
