More stale than a 3 month old loaf of bread

Recommended Posts

I was thinking about someof the performers in the WWE who need a change badly right now and have basically run their course as their current character or role. I wanna know who you guys think is THE most stale act in WWE right now.....I'll nominate a few guys to start it off

 

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

The Dudley Boys

RVD

The Undertaker

No, UT is not stale now that he's experimenting with his in-ring style and doing a different style of promos.

Trish Stratus & The Dudley Boyz are the two big names that stick out to me. I think a heel turn could benefit both. Especially Trish. She could get crazy heat I'm sure.

Is that a good thing? Here's your typical Undertaker promo:

 

This is my yard. And I'm the big dog. When you're the big dog, you own the yard. And when the big dog says get outta my yard, you have to respect that. Go pay your dues. I'm not feelin' it. I make the rules. You wanna know why? Because this is my yard. And I'm the big dog. When you're the big dog, you own the yard. And when the big dog says get outta my yard, you have to respect that. Go pay your dues. I'm not feelin' it. I make the rules. You wanna know why? Because this is my yard. And I'm the big dog. When you're the big dog, you own the yard. And when the big dog says get outta my yard, you have to respect that. Go pay your dues. I'm not feelin' it. I make the rules. I'm Taker care of business. Big Evil. Don't mess my ride.

Hott!

 

I've like the Undertaker ever since his last WWE Undisputed Championship run however.

Taker is sickeningly stale. Every time he comes out I feel my urge to watch wrestling lower. His matches range from OK to shitacular, and his promos.....Christ.....they are the worst thing ever. Throwing in a few (badly executed) submission holds don't make this guy any more interesting either.

 

The Dudleys are the most obvious. They have been stale for 2 years.

After the Cena feud I think his promos have gotten more sedate, calm, and stoic. (Stoic badasses are ALWAYS COOL.)

He had a very good match with Angle, and he carried Cena to John's best match in over a year at Vengeance. He's getting better.

The Angle match was OK. The Cena match was pretty shit. Taker sold nothing for the first period of the match and he made a superman comeback with supposed broken ribs. In between was nothing different than their usual matches.

Well, a while back I fell alseep during a Taker promo on RAW and woke back up after he was finished. I think thats stale. Or boring.

 

Hurricane and Rosey. Neither are funny and the S.H.I.T. thing is something a 4 year old would giggle over, not a 16 year old.

I don't mind Taker. He's certainly better wrestling-wise than the slugs on RAW like HHH or Nash.

 

As for the question, Trish & Austin are so over that it is tough to say that they are stale. I know they are to me, but the average fan doesn't seem to think so. RVD's problem is in-ring (and bad booking) so there is not much you can do about him.

 

The Duds are super-stale, and are arguably the most stale performers in the entire promotion.

 

HHH is similar. He's been doing the same thing for so long, that nobody really cares anymore.

Booker T needs to change it up a little a feel.

 

Spinneroonis, Can you dig it?...It's all a bit old.

Booker T. hasn't even been on TV in a month. Besides, we don't even know if he's coming back for sure yet.

 

I would say that disqualifies him from being stale. He just needs to become a serious title contender instead of always getting thrown into backstage comedy skits.

Was there offense to sell in the first period? There was a punch and a big DDT that he sold well in both cases. But that's it as far as Cena's offense goes pre-Internal Bleeding. The comeback was very well done IMo and Taker's condition added a special feeling to the match and to John Cena as a challenger to Taker's dominance of SmackDown.

UT only won at Vengeance because of him being a veteran.

 

Cena does corner punches, UT finds the opp. to do the last ride because Cena is in perfect position.

Myself, and at least 5 of my friends just roll our eyes and hit the fridge when taker does his 'put them over before and after I kick out of the finisher and win' match. You can call them move for move. I consider that stale. I don't think he's the worst, but he has no reason to win. Ever.

 

The dudleys are most certainly the prime example. And really, I don't see how the hell they'll ever be of interest again, with an outdated gimmick, limited skills and absolutely NO good opponents whatsoever.

Taker isn't stale.

 

The Dudleyz have been for 9 months now.

I think your being generous...they've been stale for over two years and the break up didn't help. I don't know what you can do with them at this point but the Raw tag division is so incredibly thin your forced to keep them around. They are just flat out boring.

Having been injured, "getting hit in the ribs by a steel chain", getting FU'ed, and then kicking it out had me screaming bullshit.

 

The one time Taker is willing to job and Vince changes his mind...

I think Austin is stale. I hate seeing him bully the cast of Raw and them not really being able to get back at him because he can't wrestle a proper schedule.

I think they should have put RVD in evolution. That would be something unexpected to see RVD sophisticated and HHH would be happy because RVD would be under him.
