Guest Max Peter David Report post Posted November 2, 2003 I would push them, and have Spanky turn on London in around a year. Bring in Michaels (who by then would be retired), and have him manage London. Have the blowoff of the London vs. Spanky feud end when London pins Spanky in a falls count anywhere match by throwing Spanky through a glass window... of a barber shop.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Wouldnt it make more sense to have London turn, considering London has a better grasp of psychology than Spanky... and who the hell takes Spanky seriously as a heel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 That reminds me...isn't it ALMOST always the person you think will fail that succeeds when a tag team breaks up... Michaels, Mattitude, Billy Gunn... The only exception I think is Bret Hart. Remember it was ROADDOGG that got over as a singles wrestler while Billy had trouble getting heat even while having a fued with The Rock of all people.

I still maintain that Michaels's last moment on WWE television should be getting kicked through the window of a barber shop, but like a real one on a city street.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2003 Kendrick just went back to his indie gimmick, which is awesome because Spanky is probably one of the greatest indie gimimcks ever. Plus, the guy seems like a goofy comedy guy in real life by everything I've ever hard attributed to him. The CW division has so many babyfaces now though. Mysterio is pretty much always guaranteed to be a babyface because the crowd marks for the entrance and the mask, etc. Kidman's heel turn got fucked (I was hoping he'd go to the Flock look myself.) Jamie Noble somehow wound up being a face in one of the most ridiculous angles of the year with Billy Gunn. Add in Hardy's departure to Raw and this leaves Tajiri, his "Yakuza," and Shannon Moore as the CW heels. We need someone charismatic to turn heel FAST. I think Mysterio would be the most interesting heel turn though it could also wreck his babyface pop if it doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky is better on the mic than London, he could make the turn more believable. Spanky played a pretty good heel in Ring of Honor the first few shows, but turned tweener too soon.

Well, if it ever happens, I think-uh we-uh all know-uh who-uh will be-uh doing-uh it-uh. WHHHo else? I also think there should be some omnicogniscent character who comes into the scene to make smark comments. This would really add an interesting dynamic to Raw. Example: (cut to Michaels walking down a city street. Out of nowhere, Triple H kicks Michaels through the front window of a local barber shop. Triple H walks away as Michaels lies bleeding. Enter God, who walks in front of the scene.) "Wow. There's something ironic about this, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh well." (exit God. Cue RAW opening theme) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2003 To top that all off, Moore played a face on Velocity, didn't he? I didn't really consider what Moore was doing on Velocity face or heel. Yes, he teamed with Hurricane, but he didn't express any kind of character whatsoever (not that nodding your head and shrugging is doing him that much better.) The weird thing is that after Jeff Hardy sold so much merchandise, you would THINK THAT VINCE WOULD MAYBE GET IT. There's a bunch of dweeby girls out there with disposable income (and a lot of willingness to spend it on wrestling crap) that have a thing for girlyboys, and while that will never sell as much merch as someone with that starlike look like Rock these days or HBK and Bret in their younger years, they aren't looking for that either*. If you aren't going to push based on talent, at least push based on looks and stop putting A-Train in the main event. Nobody is going to figure out how to respond to a guy with more body piercings than pairs of socks unless he's involved in a DAMN good storyline. * Orton looks great in some shots but bad in so many others that I don't include him here. Lesnar definitely has a unique look but his Human Monster look requires him to be in his skivvies or else you get something like that infamous picture of him in a suit and glasses.
