Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Anyway, What does everyone think of Heidenhoser? His gimmick is at least somewhat intriguing. Little Johnny will be a let down, but what can ya do. His mic work isn't so bad either. He comes across as a great big rambling slightly stupid doof, but that's his gimmick. Aside from slipping on the kick, his ring work was no worse than say, Test or Albert or someone like that. Generic big man stuff. And he has a, well, different finisher than most. He could work as long as he stays in the midcard for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 I'd say he had a less awkward debut than other hosses like Nathan Jones. I would say potential is there, but WWE creative will find a way to fuck this up like they've fucked up every other debut since 2001. I know, I know. DA sounds like a broken record. Well, WWE hasn't done anything to fix it, so there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Can't wait for Wedgie-slam T-shirts! You know their coming. And you know this means he's feuding with Jericho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 28, 2003 The thing is? I was kinda hoping they would prolong the whole stalker thing... Something oddly amusing about him walking around trying to get a job with all this turmoil going on...only to irritate Austin even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 He was decent enough. He was a little slow in the ring but that can easily be fixed. He has potential Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 He doesn't seem like anything special, but then again, the guy didn't even take a bump in the match or sell anything. Once he does, that'll be the true indication of whether or not the guy is a waste of time. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 I was not impressed with his debut. He was okay (minus that slip) but he really isn't anything special (and I wish Paul London's debut had come with HALF as much fanfare). Oh, and Test is worlds better than this guy. I will never understand why so many smarks have this hatred of Test. IMO, he has done nothing to deserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 28, 2003 The Sad thing was? Test was better with ONE foot then he is with two healthy feet. He might suck as a wrestler but he can sell pain like a motherfucker and I couldn't stop cracking up with his whole "C'MON KANE!" While he limped helplessly around the ring...

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2003 Well, I'll give WWE one thing...at least they seem to finally realize WWE fans don't give half a shit about Generic OVW Vanilla Hoss #725 and decided to give him a personality/gimmick. The one he's got sucks, but at least it's a start. Got to do something about that bland offense, "just another hoss" look, and horribly unmarketable name.

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Difference between Test & Tenta. Tenta's T.V matches were either squashes and the occasional versus real wrestler matches. Test wrestles EVERY week for the past 5 years and has only had TWO *** matches. (1 vs. his good pal Shane, so I'll only count the one v. Eddie at WM X-7) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 29, 2003 I remember a Test/Saturn hardcore title match in June 2001 (it was Moppy's debut), but that sure as hell wasn't ***.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2003 Again I ask; anyone see that documentary on TLC about UPW? This guy played for the Saints and about six months after he started training, landed a WWE Developmental deal. Nathan Jones was his tag partner. Christopher Daniels was working for UPW at the same time. He had a tryout with WCW right before it folded and has never been given another chance at the big time since, unless you count ROH or NWA, but most, including myself. don't. That's gotta say something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, the gimmick sounds intriguing, but too bad they gave it to a guy that sucks in the ring (see: Jones, Nathan). There's a reason Helms did 95% of the work in that match. And I'd put Test & A-Train as worlds better than Heidenreich. As for his finisher, it's just a slight variation on the Rock Bottom. Seriously, do you have the real AS tied up in the closet?
