Just John 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 This is one of those topics that I'm just starting because I'm bored and I think this could provide some humor. So, what are you're favorite announcer shoot comments? A couple recent ones to get started: A couple weeks ago on Raw, JR and the King were discussing the WM triple threat: King: I guess Benoit and Michaels think that HHH is just gonna lay down and let one of them win, but that ain't gonna happen. JR: Yeah, HHH won't lay down for anybody. Then during the Lesnar/Goldberg debacle, JR had a couple more: "This match is about FINALITY!" "Austin just stunned Brock Lesnar right outta the WWE... ring.

DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Heyman: Why does RVD have to wrestle the Big Show? He's 300 lbs lighter than him! JR: What do you want me to do about it? Make him go on a diet? Heyman: Yeah, I read the Ross Report. And a shoot comment that wasn't meant to be one: Lawler: When a woman starts thinking for herself, you're gonna be in trouble. Nothing but trouble.

Placebo Effect 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 While not necessarily a shoot comment, I loved this one during a WWA PPV. It's Disco Inferno and Jeramy Borash on commentary, and Buff Bagwell hits a running neckbreaker, the same one that Disco always works into a match. Disco: "Here comes my patented move." Borash: "One of your three." Looking back on it, all I can think of is OHH TAG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For whatever reason, right before Russo came in someone in the WCW Production department suddenly began producing these badass Meng videos that would air before he came out. So Meng squashes the jobber and Nash says something to the extent of, "You know he had no chance because Meng had a video package." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cynicalprofit 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 From Rumble 92 I think, Jesse Ventura says some GREAT shoot commentary on Hulk Hogan. Stuff about how hogan would turn his back on you in a hurry. Which makes a lot of sense since Jesses says Hogan stooged him out to Vince about trying to unionize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some more stuff, from DDTdigest of the 10/14/99 Thunder: "It's Wesley Snipes! Oh wait, it's just Booker T." Nash says he has a video package for the fans. It's a replay of the Goldberg-Sid Vicious situation. Nash is doing a John Facenda-like NFL Films narration. I'm dyin' here. "Bill Goldberg - a bald-headed man with a tattoo - who only has one loss - to the great warrior - ..Kevin Nash - ..standing in the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field --- (Sid comes on) - ..Sid Vicious- .. 6 foot ten - ..290! - ..no - .315! -..no -.350! -.no FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN POUNDS!" Oh man, this is priceless. And it goes on. This is great. Beyond words. At the end Tenay says, "shades of Mystery Science Theater." That was good. Tenay states that a tag team matchup has been signed for later tonight. The Total Package-Rick Steiner vs. Buff Bagwell-La Parka. What??? Nash says half the guys didn't show up tonight, so we had to book it earlier today. Awesome. Tenay is smiling and says, "Welcome to the all shoot edition of Thunder." Nash says these guys should know no one gets beat after a sweet package (montage) like that before the match. All shoot-TV indeed.

thecitythesky 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 * one of my recent personal favorites was HHH during his "feud" w/ Goldberg... when the mic went out on Raw and he followed it up w/ something to the effect of: "i didn't know Goldberg made microphones, these things don't work either." ... it may not be verbatim, but it was super noticable; to the point that i was shocked he actually said it. * Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Referring to the Dudley Boys as "Bushwhackers 2000" and noting that it looks like there are heads and arms floating in the ring since they can't see them (due to the camoflage). Hilarity. of course when scott steiner ripped on wcw during a live nitro and said they sucked and were getting beat by the wwf . didn't he get in trouble for that?

They come across a homeless guy with a sign that says 'Will work for food'. HHH: "Hey, you can't work! Just like Jericho."

"And this is exactly what I was talking about last week. You two giant slugs have been out here for what, three, four minutes? And already you've forced these poor people to drift off into their own little worlds, completely oblivious to what you're saying, and completely oblivious to you. I mean you two morons couldn't string together two intelligent words and I was forced to come out here and save this segment! Personification of evil - ha! I say personification of BOREDOM! The only thing scary about you two is the amount of TV time you get which causes the people to pick up the remote and change the channel, looking for a hero. Well STOP changing the channel because your hero has ARRIVED! Chris Jericho has come to save the WWF...finally, there's a man who's entertaining enough and exciting enough to bring this company back to prominence and make some money for this beleagured promotion - and I'm here to say that 'RAW is SNORE' is now dead and buried and long live 'RAW is JERICHO!' And now that the Y2J problem is here, this company, from the front office employees to all the idiots in the dressing room, to the two biggest idiots of all, 3.3 7.3 will never, e-e-e-ever be the same, agayn!"

Actually, HHH owns himself there. By outright dissing Jericho with an uncalled cheapshot he only makes himself look like a moron. Many people think of Jericho as more talented than HHH so when HHH says that it just makes himself look like a desparate man trying ever so desparately to hold on to his spot.

Guest Astro Report post Posted March 28, 2004 Barry Windham at Survior Series 96, is supposed to be wearing his Stalker camoflauge, but is wearing a "WWF Logo" T- Shirt instead So Vince says "Barry Windham- the constimate professional" in a sarcastic way. This is explained here: Going to the WWF in 1996- When he came back, Vince sat him down and had a talk with him over his habit of leaving unexpectedly, and gave him the Stalker gimmick as a result. He says that Vince could have used him as Barry Windham, but decided to put him in camoflage instead. He went through with it, but slowly started doing a little less camoflage each time and slowly returning back to his own image. Vince called him on it one night, he didn't give a response to Vince's satisfaction, and got sent home and paid his downside until they made him and Bradshaw the New Blackjacks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
