Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 People were digging his vignettes back in the winter last year until he just seemed to have vanished again. You completely left out the part where every single one of his Smackdown matches stank. Can't it be considered that maybe that's part of the reason why he's not on TV? Counter-argument - Matt Morgan has had several matches on SD, as did Nathan Jones. I think most people who dislike O'Haire would at least admit O'Haire is better than those guys.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Counter-counter-argument: Morgan had just as much, or even fewer matches before being rightly shunted off to O'Haire-land, also called Velocity. Jones quit before the 'Team Lesnar' angle quieted down so who knows what would have happened. And how the hell is admitting that someone is better than the very bottom of the crop going to justify anything? At least throw me the cheap, overused, BS, pathetic, lazy argument of "he can work with Benoit and Eddy to get better" that gets whored whenever a wrestler that strikes someone's fancy for whatever reason gets criticized. Oh yeah, that already happened, and it SUCKED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Okay I HATE Sean O'Haire... yes, he is better than Matt Morgan. Not A-Train though... not even close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DR PHIL Report post Posted January 15, 2004 I walked away, then came back and told him never to like Triple-H. I told him he was really married to Steph, and the kid was all suprised. But he said: "I don't like him, he sucks. He does steroids and isn't good in the ring." Ah...the smark is strong in that young one! And to settle the argument, sean o'haire owns your souls, accept it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) I happened to like Benoit/O'Haire more than Benoit/Jones. And how the hell is admitting that someone is better than the very bottom of the crop going to justify anything? I'm just saying you can't use the "bad matches = no TV time" justification since guys who have as bad (or worse) matches than O'Haire get TV time (i.e. Mark Henry, Morgan [even Velocity time is more than O'Haire gets]).

Vyce 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 God, it's degenerated into another "SOH SUX!" thread. Well, guess I must defend my guy. SOH is greatly underappreciated, and is a perfectly acceptable midcard wrestler. He's better than tons of guys who get more airtime than him - Henry, Morgan, Holly, Orton, A-Train. YES, Orton & A-Train. He's no worse in the ring than any of them, and outside of possibly Orton, he has a great deal more charisma, has a better look, and can actually talk. Coherently.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted January 15, 2004 I happened to like Benoit/O'Haire more than Benoit/Jones. Benoit/Jones > Benoit/Morgan > Benoit/O'Haire So if you want to use the "Benoit match" scale to assess skill, which is only fair if Jones/Morgan/O'Haire supporters are going to use the 'throw them at Benoit so they can get good' argument, it's not looking good for Sean. And how the hell is admitting that someone is better than the very bottom of the crop going to justify anything? I'm just saying you can't use the "bad matches = no TV time" justification since guys who have as bad (or worse) matches than O'Haire get TV time (i.e. Mark Henry, Morgan [even Velocity time is more than O'Haire gets]). And what I'm saying is that his bad matches are an easy justification for a depush. He IS after all a WCW buyout guy and you complain about their treatment every week, usually in reference to Kanyon. SOH is greatly underappreciated, and is a perfectly acceptable midcard wrestler. He's better than tons of guys who get more airtime than him - Henry, Morgan, Holly, Orton, A-Train. YES, Orton & A-Train. Benoit/A-Train > all 3 of the matches I mentioned above. Orton's matches with RVD, while not exceptional, have both been better than any of O'Haire's offerings. But it's not like O'Haire is going anywhere so really all of this is moot. God, it's degenerated into another "SOH SUX!" thread. Well, guess I must defend my guy. Maybe if he didn't suck.... oh well. I await the wrath of the..... *smirks*... "triad". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
