Fro 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I can't believe this?? Is it so important that Patterson's Sex Toy has someone to carry his no-talent dead weight ass around that they can't team Conway and Dinsmore? Better yet, why not get Conway/Dinsmore and the Bashams on the same show so they can have **** matches like they did in OVW? Oh, I forgot, WWE is overflowing with so many quality tag teams that they don't need any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted March 29, 2004 You have to spell it like "Retarted" or perhaps "Raderted" you spell it "TeRarded" Also if they mix this with the weird kid Mike Myers played on SNL it will be gold. Basically he wears a harness that's tied to a ringpost and anybody who touches his head gets beat down. They feed him chocolate and he drags the whole damn ring outside the arena.

Kardo 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Anglesault, you need to track down some OVW. Danny may not be a great great wrestler. But Doug is incredible unrestrained by WWE stupidity. Cuts a great promo too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 29, 2004 This really should be a gimmick for someone who's been around for awhile and has nothing else going for him - not for an up-and-comer as this is the type of gimmick that can haunt a wrestler years down the line. Think Thurman "Sparky" Plugg. Or the Red Rooster. Like John Bradshaw Layfield, good idea in theory, poor in execution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 29, 2004 It's bizarre really. For all the hoo-ha about how Vince only pushes "his" talent and likes to sink the "outsiders", it just seems strange that he'd fuck over someone he's brought from the ground up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clean rob 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I don't think it's a case of Vince 'fucking over' Dinsmore at all. Vince is the man who thought PUUUKE~! was a good gimmick idea. I guarantee you he loves this one. I dunno, I suppose it could be funny if the guy's got enough comic flair. Like has already been mentioned though, even in the unlikely event that a few funny segments come out of the gimmick, it isn't going to get anyone very far, and will have to be phased out sooner rather than later.

Fro 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Vince a lot of times books stuff for his own amusement instead of what's best for business. This may be another one if the vignettes are as bad as they could be. It sounds like it's going okay at the House Shows, but he's just doing a random zany guy there. I assume it will be much much worse on Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Well be that as it may, there's no way he could see this as a long-term idea, surely. I mean, hasn't he been carrying on about building new stars and such?? I just don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Duncan Eternia Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I think this gimmick could be interetsing. No insult it until we at least get a teste of it. I don't have as much faith as you, I'm afraid. It's Gerwitz. He STILL has Rosey going out there as the S.H.I.T...I wouldn't expect too many good things to come from this. Poor Nick Dinsmore...Wrestlecrap, here he comes... Good point about Gerwitz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 And now that I think about it, isn't this the same angle as Dave Sullivan from WCW? You guys remember him right? He ended up becoming a Hulkamaniac after he got tired of being slapped by Kevin Sullivan. Isn't this just Dave Sullivan without Kevin? Better yet, bring back Kevin! Him and Benoit can have one of those WCW brawls that ended up in the bathroom. Granted, it might now be an actual DEATH match but I bet it'll be fun to watch.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Anyone remember when Sid had a...well, I don't know if you'd call him a manager, but basically he'd bring a retarded dude out with him during his matches. I think it was in 2000 in WCW. That was a kid with Down's Syndrome named (I think) Seth from around the Memphis area that Sid had gotten to know, and got WCW to allow him to accompany him for a match to make the kids day. It wasn't part of an angle or anything, just a goodwill gesture on Sid's part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted March 29, 2004 If the gimmick goes horribly at house shows, would they still go through with it? Yes - they've done it with several gimmicks (Tomko, Fertig), matches (HHH v. Bubba) and angles (such as Lita's "injury" in MSG last December). Let's just hope the house show fans have a semblance of intelligence after seeing the first vignettes for the gimmick, and boo it out of the building. Tomko and Fertig is jump green OVW dropkickers getting tryout matches with the regular Superstars. They always run matches for the big angles before they do them on TV too, so they get used to working with each other (Bubba/HHH). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Wow, another mention of the Bashams not being the most hideously boring tag team on earth. I think Anglesault would agree with me by saying that the OVW 'scouts' are all a bunch of liars. OMG Leviathon is a beast and would be awesome in WWE! No. Doug Basham is the best wrestler ever! No. Great wrestlers can hit their damn moves correctly and can not be a cure for freaking insomnia. If Doug was as great as people make him out to be, he wouldn't be so freaking dull. DULL AS KIDMAN DULL. And as much as anyone would like to blame the bookers, I kind of doubt they send Doug out there and say... "Now be as boring as possible... MORE! MORE DULL WE SAY!" Screw that. The Bashams don't even have a spot that gets a reaction. Not a one. This is not a good pair of wrestlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) DULL AS KIDMAN DULL. That's not fair. Kidman at least puts the effort in to put in some cool spots into his match. Much more than I can say about the Bashams, who can't even be bothered to create a cool double team. Edited March 29, 2004 by Anglesault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bashams don't even have a spot that gets a reaction. Not a one. This is not a good pair of wrestlers. Actually, Levithan WOULD have been good but anyone who saw any OVW can tell you he needed to work on selling. He was decent in every other area but he needed to work on his selling a lot. The guy no sold the Big Show's chokeslam once. As for Doug Basham and DANNY, both were actually very good on the mic and had plenty of great matches. The problem is they had to not only adapt to the WWE style, the WWE actually made them second fiddle to a tough enough woman. Both Doug and Damaja (screw that Danny stuff) are actually extremely talented when allowed to work their match. The WWE seems intent on making them as vanilla as possible so they don't overshadow some of their "talented" hosses. It's actually extremely disappointing to their OVW fans to see THIS out of them.
