Guest Choken One Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 Kanyon will not be missed in WWE. He never got over within the company and despite working well on the B shows (vs Storm, that mini feud was a treat) he wasn't likely to. TNA won't get any extra buys if they have him appear. The guy simply isn't over. Didn't you watch the InVasion? He was one of only 3-5 guys that got ANY reaction from the fans...He was getting pretty over on the IC/US level before his injury...
Star Ocean 3 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Posted February 11, 2004 I've never seen TNA, but it Kanyon is there I would order.
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Wow, I was expecting more of a hoopla here about this, but things are relatively calm. Surprising - unlike this bit of news. This is exactly what many of us were predicting, and some of us, actually hoping for. Thus, we're calm about it, not like at some other board. Gee Spiff, how come you never inspire such temper tantrums over here?
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Smaller community over there? I was fine until the one guy told me he's sorry I ever watched wrestling. That board also seems a bit more "marky" than here.
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 "I weep for the lost innocence" made my day. I mean, come on, can we be an even bigger drama queen?
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Check out the thread about The Cat being cut. I get a tribute in there. Do you post over there, or just lurk/read?
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Lurk/read. I like it because it's so different than the typical message board, mostly because CRZ swiftly takes care of the AIM sp33k and other retards.
Spaceman Spiff Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, like I said it tends to be more markish compared to here. The ages skew older, I noticed. And if people think the mods here are overbearing, I can't imagine how they'd handle CRZ's style.
thuganomics Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Kanyon always did some innovative stuff in the ring. I'm proud to be able to say I saw the re-debut of Mortis in a dark match at St. Louis, and I'm still disappointed that they never took off with him. Here's hoping that Kanyon can make a name for himself in TNA or Japan. It might actually get me interested in TNA again if he appears.
Guest Loss Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Kanyon was never a great worker, but he had some interesting offense and unique charisma. I think he could have been a valuable midcarder in WWE, and I think a feud with RVD would have done wonders for both guys, but what's done is done, apparently. He'll probably experience a mini-Renaissance outside of WWE, or at least it will get heralded as one.
