Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted August 20, 2003 So Taker has lost 3 matches in a row. I wonder if he will go for 4 and put Albert over at the PPV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted August 20, 2003 The build up for Angle/Lesnar could be better, but building them up separately isn't an entirely bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted August 20, 2003 The "what?" chants during Angle's promo were a pain to listen to, since it meant fans weren't really listening to Angle's pretty emotional promo. Why is it that Angle, who is the best promo guy ever in WWF/E history according to his fans, is utterly unable to shed the "what?" chants? It's a TWO YEAR old chant, and he's the face champion!

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 In regards to Matt haters in Detroit - At the house show in February, some people a few rows in front of us started yelling "Go call your brother and learn how to wrestle". Hilarious! In regards to "What?" chants directed at Kurt Angle - It, unfortunatley, is his deal. Much like as a face, he gets lovingly positive "You Suck" chants with his music, getting positive, not hateful, What? chants followed him to facehood as well. Don't forget, after Austin and Angle's non-sensical but more or less necessary turns post Survivor Series 2001 (the guy who tried to put WWF out of business is the face now? The guy who saved the WWF is the heel? Eh?), Angle was the top target of the chant, as he was the only heel to tell the fans to yell it at him (ie, complain loudly about how much he hates it). In regards to the best sign at the show - "Affleck was the Bomb in Phantoms" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the WWE seemingly forgets that the virtuous babyface will always get out-popped by the badass heel who kills people. Oh and "WHAT?" means that crowd is completely apathetic to what's going on. Barring when it was done to Angle back in late 2001/early 2002, that's all it's ever meant when Austin isn't there. "WHAT?" chants are NOT a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barring when it was done to Angle back in late 2001/early 2002, that's all it's ever meant when Austin isn't there. This point is more or less accurate, but from my point of view, people were still interested in what Angle had to say. I can't speak for everyone in the arena, but the people around me were just having fun with an old chant. We all popped accordingly when he made an actual point as well.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted August 21, 2003 To me it just means that Angle hasn't bothered to change his promo style. Jericho learned to ignore the chants early on, and therefore the crowds knew that they weren't going to get anywhere trying to "what" him because Jericho wouldn't give them the chance. Angle always seems to take a longer-than-normal pause after every point or sentence, which just baits the chant. And there's no reason for him, as a face, to get the chant at all, in my view.
