Hah, they want to make Kidman even more bland.

 

This news sucks.

Somebody, hold me back, do it, HOLD ME BACK!

Jesus, they're concerned about his weight NOW?!

So Spanky, London, Kidman will slowly devolve into Jeff Hardy?

I haven't been concerned with it untill he made his return last week. I'll admit that the man looked, and moved, like shit in that match on SD last week.

 

I can't believe that they allowed him to be on TV looking like that, he looked horrible. I mean, horrible for Rikishi is pretty fucked up. The moment I saw the guy last week, I knew something was up. I really hope he can overcome this though, I really do.

[Mecha Mummy 0]

That won't take Kidman long; he's already got fucking his own finisher up down.

*Some* extra weight? The dude could hardly move his arms, he was so bloated.

Uh-oh...

 

- Spanky, Paul London, and Kidman were told to "slow it down" in regard to their ring style at the house shows this weekend. WWE told them to use their "less is more" theory.

Yeah, why bother entertaining fans at a house show? It's not like any are involved in any current storylines, so might as well have them give the fans their money's worth, rather than kick-punch-chinlock.

 

- WWE has told the Hurricane to stop using the chokeslam move. They feel he is too small to pull off the move in a convincing manner.

Bah. When was the last time he even connected w/ it?

Yeah, who wants fast-paced action? More chinlocks! More I say!

 

- WWE has told the Hurricane to stop using the chokeslam move. They feel he is too small to pull off the move in a convincing manner.

 

Isn't that the point of him using the chokeslam? That he's too small for it to be taken seriously?

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

The chokeslam was a big part of the hurricane's gimmick. It showed that with his super-strength powers, he could fend off the largest of evils.

[haVoc 0]

It was suppose to be the reason for it. Hurricane choke slamming the Rock was the greatest chokeslam of all time.

[Guest Dids]

What's stupid- is that if the Hurricane thing is true- they're basically saying "we don't trust our fans to get even the most obvious of jokes"

- Spanky, Paul London, and Kidman were told to "slow it down" in regard to their ring style at the house shows this weekend. WWE told them to use their "less is more" theory.

See, this is exactly why Paul London shouldn't have signed with WWE, because everyone of us knew that his offense would get cut out from under him, along with his SSP just because Kidman (whose SSP isn't all that great) uses it too. I wonder when WWE's going to start telling Benoit, Angle, and Jericho to stop doing technical wrestling simply because WWE thinks it "bores the crowd" or some bullshit like that?

 

Damn it, this is why I think ROH needs to figure out a way to become WWE's newest competitor by getting a TV and PPV deal.

Ask WWE fans if they'd rather watch Angle/Benoit or Vince/Hogan...

Yeah no shit. His gimmick is he is a fat ass that dances and sticks his ass in people's faces.

Never seen him, but I can guess he's a HOSS~

2nd worst idea ever.

This makes Platypi sad.

Development? What development?

That sucks...

So..the ALREADY TONED DOWN acts of Spanky and London are to be toned down even more? Jesus Christ.

Correctamundo. Not only that, but if you go by Meltzer's appraisal of him, he's not even ready for OVW TV let alone Raw or Smackdown.

It's HIS DREAM to sign with the WWE. He could care less, if he's playing the role of Doink or jobbing on the B-shows. Anything more, is just great news for him.

 

along with his SSP just because Kidman (whose SSP isn't all that great) uses it too. 

 

He used his London Calling AS A JOBBER in a developmental match against Matt Hardy. They're not restricting any of his moveset as of yet. He and Spanky have been finishing off opponents with a double-team manuever, because they're trying to get them over as....GASP!!!...a credible TAG TEAM.

 

I wonder when WWE's going to start telling Benoit, Angle, and Jericho to stop doing technical wrestling simply because WWE thinks it "bores the crowd" or some bullshit like that?

 

Great for missing the point entirely. They're talking about slowing down their high-flying offense at the house shows, so that the the constant string of house-show injuries are cut off at the pass.

That's possible, but you could also take the phrase...

 

- Spanky, Paul London, and Kidman were told to "slow it down" in regard to their ring style at the house shows this weekend. WWE told them to use their "less is more" theory.

 

...to mean that at the house shows this weekend, they were told to "slow it down". Meaning not JUST at house shows, but overall. The statement isn't really clear.

Kidman hasn't used anything relatively "dangerous" on television since his return (save for the planchas he did back in July). He also moves like molasses (for a cruiserweight), considering he's put on 25-30 pounds since his injury.

Uhh...he's done stuff relatively dangerous on television since he broke off ties with Mysterio?

 

Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to his matches (granted, he's working Velocity exclusively now).

[Downhome 0]

No, I agree with you.

 

I just didn't see what that had to do with what I said, that's all.

[Fökai 0]

I just didn't see what that had to do with what I said, that's all.

Kidman hasn't been doing anything relatively dangerous on television.

 

My point was - why would the agents (or higher-ups) ask him to tone down his television style, as weak as it is, on top of his house show style?

Ok, now I follow.

 

I don't know, but I'd imagine that their saying that to the three guys was more so focused on Spanky and London.

I assume Spanky and London, as a team, goes "balls out" on the house show circuit to get the crowds pumped. Working in the ROH environment, they've learned to put out the best exhibition of wrestling that they can.

 

Thing is, their new company goes out four times a week (with weekly TV tapings), so they're still learning on how to "hold back" on the house show audience. Maybe it isn't the agent's position to say so, but they're just trying to prevent the younger guys from the risks of injuries.

 

Just my opinion.

[WWE FRONT OFFICE] You new guys need to "step up" if you want a major push and be a superstar.

 

But you can't have promo time, can't wrestle more than a 1:20 in squash mash to the Hoss of the Month, and if we do give you more time, then you need to slow down your in ring style.

 

Now, why the fuck aren't you new guys over? What's wrong with you?[/WWE FRONT OFFICE]
