NYU Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I never said he was going to be the next Brooklyn Brawler. You obviously didn't catch what I meant. Obviously not. But you'd have to insinuating him being a jobber to contemplate putting him at Announce. Because Lawler had a VASTLY successful career in WWE. You know....holding all those WWE titles and winning those huge blowoff feuds..... Meanwhile, Al Snow held his fair share of WWE titles with the Hardcore Title and Tag Team Titles Success is not a gauge on whether you can become an announcer or not. And iB, I would think you should show a little discretion next time before calling someone an idiot for having a suggestion. Those in glass houses....
Brett Favre Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I never said he was going to be the next Brooklyn Brawler. You obviously didn't catch what I meant. Obviously not. But you'd have to insinuating him being a jobber to contemplate putting him at Announce. I never said Jericho was a glorified jobber, what don't you get. But all he's been doing is staying in the midcard doing nothing of note, other than this Christian feud which brings him lower anyway. + He's already held every title. I rather have him announce than job to Randy Orton, thank you.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 telling every single detail of a wrestler's career instead of calling a match. And Cole doesn't do that now, does he?
Kahran Ramsus Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Three of them are fine. Lawler needs to go. Other than that, keep them as it is.
Vern Gagne Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Lawler isn't horrible if he's not acting like a dirty old man. Unfortunetly Vince wants him to act like that.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 As is the case with Rosey's latest gimmick, Vince likes to book what he finds funny - he doesn't give a shit what the viewers find funny.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 SHIT sucks, but Rosie fucking rules and works the gimmick well.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 U know...Ventura's show was canceled...he isn't busy... Give him the $1 million he wants...Put him with Mathews on Raw... Tazz and Ross on Smackdown Cole moves into the Front Office with Video Production. DeMott and Snow can do heat and Coach can be a one man Velocity host.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Yeah, Rosey does work the gimmick well, but the gimmick still sucks, as do Rosey's wrestling abilities. Wait... Ventura's probably too busy trying to convince people to vote for him before 2008.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 that's why RAW is PERFECT! He can make his political statements and we won't change the channel because Benoit is carrying another slouch to a *** match.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I didn't dispute Ventura as an announcer. I'm all for it. I should be interesting to see how they'd work him into it if it were to happen.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 telling every single detail of a wrestler's career instead of calling a match. And Cole doesn't do that now, does he? hmmm, I didn't realize Cole wasn't talking about Brock Lesnar for 90% of SD before WM XX, because he was. I know I heard it...
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Austin comes out Austin: I'm sick of you flapping your gums King... JR: Thank you Lawler: What? Austin: That's my catchphase damn it...YOUR FIRED! Lawler: You can't do that... Austin: Yes I can... Lawler: No you can't...No where does it say in your contract as Sheirff that you can fire people Austin: Bisch agrees with me Lawler: Damn it Austin: get outta here! Jr: Bye Bye King. Call me Lawler: PUPPIES! Austin: that's enough...go JR: What now Steve? Austin: Ladies and Gentleman...Your 2008 President Elect and NEW Co-Announcer of Raw...Jesse Ventura *Crowd Pops* Ventura sits down JR: Nice to see you Jesse! Ventura: Look, I tell you JR, I don't get kerry's plan at all JR: UM...We have a match... Ventura: The Fiscal plan is insane i should say JR, here's MY idea... JR: Benoit with the crossface! Ventura: No Jr, That's a Hammerlock.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 JR: Nice to see you Jesse! Ventura: Look, I tell you JR, I don't get kerry's plan at all JR: UM...We have a match... Ventura: The Fiscal plan is insane i should say JR, here's MY idea... JR: Benoit with the crossface! Ventura: No Jr, That's a Hammerlock. That's GOLD Jerry, Gold!!!
Vern Gagne Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I doubt Jesse pays close attention to the WWE anymore. An uninformed Ventura means 2 hours of JFK asssassination conspiracies, redneck jokes, quoting lines from Dirty Harry, and mentioning how Hulk Hogan wasn't a Navy Seal.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 and 2 Hours of Puppies, Viagra, and Recycled Stu Hart jokes are better?
deancoles Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Instead of Jesse moaning about Hogan's posing it would be about Austin and his beer drinking.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 even better... Ross/Ventura is greatly underappreciated. They still be a good combo.
Vern Gagne Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 and 2 Hours of Puppies, Viagra, and Recycled Stu Hart jokes are better? Not really. But, Lawler's dirty old man schict is because of Vince. Lawler still works for the company and does follow what's going on. If Ventura came in and was the same old Jesse the Body that would be great, but I don't think he follows the WWE. Besides it's been such a long time since Jesse worked for the WWE. Who knows if he's still any good.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 im more then willing to try him out again... Hell...Chavo Sr and Teddy Long need to Raw.
Vern Gagne Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Yes. Chavo SR for Raw and Smackdown. The one person everyone can agree on.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Yes, what with everything else that Jesse Ventura has been involved in, I doubt that he'd still follow WWE. Regliously, anyway. Still, as I said, it'd be interesting to see how WWE would introduce him, to and hear him call a match or two.
Guest JMA Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Lawler actually was a decent heel commentator before he became a complete "dirty old-man." Heck, even after that he was good. Now all he does is play the pervert and agree with JR.
Guest Choken One Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 yes we know that...but he isn't changing his character...so get rid of him. I'd put Heenan back in a heartbeat if i felt his voice could handle a full schedule...at that...I'd least sign him to be a part of Confidential with Okerlund and let him rip it up again.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Lawler actually was a decent heel commentator before he became a complete "dirty old-man." Heck, even after that he was good. Now all he does is play the pervert and agree with JR. On top of that, kayfabe or not, he doesn't know a thing about the actual wrestling in a match - J.R. takes care of that, while he cracks out the odd clever remark, while usually focusing on the Divas' assets and makes smart-ass cracks on whatever's happening at the time.
Guest BDC Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Just want to say I seriously miss Bobby Heenan.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 "I just wish... Monsoon was here." I'll admit to being teary.
Kizzo Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Posted March 22, 2004 "I just wish... Monsoon was here." I'll admit to being teary. That was an emotional moment.... Monsoon and Heenan.....the memories...
ChrisMWaters Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Trying to remember... What did Monsoon die of anyway?
