Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 I was watching Judgment Day 2002 today because I had never seen it, and watching the handicap match between austin and Flair/Show got me thinking. When was the last time Flair looked at the crowd and got them going with a WOO? Has he been completely neutered or am I just deaf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deebo Report post Posted February 23, 2004 I haven't really been playing close attention,so I'm sure he's done it since this, but he did it like twice in the promo he gave with Batista after the tables match at RR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Did he? I'm sure he has occasionally, but you don't even here the fans doing it or beckoning to do one of the things that he has been most known for throught his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Dan, you're weird. I think he whoos all the time still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Flair was told to cut down on the whoo-ing when they paired him with HHH because they didn't want the manager overshadowing the wrestler. I wish I was making that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Maybe I am weird, maybe I'm worng. That is why I posed the question. Hell, I don't even hear Angle doing it anymore. Did Triple H take it away from WWE TV while he perfects it himself or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Flair was told to cut down on the whoo-ing when they paired him with HHH because they didn't want the manager overshadowing the wrestler. I wish I was making that up. right, I heard that news a long time ago. thing was, flair kept on doing it, and, to me, it seems like only recently it has been completely stopped.

I wish I was making that up. Flair can't whoo but they allowed Jimmy Hart to run around with a Mega-phone? Man, how times have changed.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Well to be fair, Hart wasn't a sixteen time World champion who is one of the most constantly over superstars in wrestling history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted February 23, 2004 That's because most managers are there to do promos and get the wrestler over, but Flair is with HHH to make everyone think Flair endorses HHH as the 'new him'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted February 23, 2004 He definately did one after the Tables Match at RR when he was cutting a promo on Benoit. Something like "...the best damn wooo technical wrestler alive, but you're not in the league of..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Well to be fair, Hart wasn't a sixteen time World champion who is one of the most constantly over superstars in wrestling history. Factor In, Hart managed complete DUDS for the most part (save for the Foundation and Hogan)...He HAD to provide the promos for his "talent"... HHH doesn't need a manager to overshadow his faults...

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted February 23, 2004 Off the top of my head, I think it may have been at the Royal Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2004 I remember the one at the rumble that he rattled off with the champagne. That was funny. But seriously, have you also noticed Angle's decline of WOOing too? What the hell is going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mad the Swine Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Tonight. Backstage segment with the rest of Evolution. Pretty sure he 'woo'ed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Repo Man Reborn Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Whoo-ing is allowed if it is followed by praise for The Game. ex. "WHOOOOO! TRIPLE H IS THE GREATEST WRESTLER ALIVE TODAY!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 I knew that someone would associate this with HHH... Well, IMO, regardless of the past, "Wooing" is now associated with him being a face. The crowd mimics it, and if he's going to be a heel, he shouldn't really be playing to the crowd that way. I know it worked before, but today's wrestling audience is another beast. On the subject of Flair, am I the only one who thinks he should cut his hair short? I don't know if it's because he's getting older of if the bleach has just COMPLETELY fried his hair, but it looks horrible nowadays. I think that if it were shorter, that'd it look less like.. I dunno, straw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 The backstage segment with Evolution at the Rumble was incredible. He splashed champagne on Josh Matthews, turned it on himself, and the champagne shot about 6 feet in the air. I must've watched that at least 10 times.

I dunno, straw? I agree. I don't know what it is but Flair's hair looks terrible these days. Really it does. He used to have really thick hair but now it seems all thin and stringy. He should go back to the short and spikey look he had in WCW in 2001. It was much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si82 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 You guys are picking apart his hair? Isn't Will and Grace on somewhere? I don't know. I've never watched it. I've never wanted to. However, the subject of Flair's hair is something I have talked with other people about. In fact it was my girlfriend who noticed it and she agreed that the short spikey hair looks better.

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2004 I think it has to do with either him showering right before the show or him stealing someone's jerri curl juice. It always looks freshly wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Did you see Flair last night on RAW? He looked like he was on crack! Just look at him throughout the entire interview. It may be hard, since HHH's nose is taking up the whole screen. And I thought it was stupid when he did his strut, and said "Follow the Champ!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
