Fökai Posted March 29, 2004 Report 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.
Anakin Flair Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 On this topic though, could Vince not see how this is going to offend 70-75% of the population? "Let's see, we've got Guerrero for the hispanics, RVD for the potheads, Christian and Austin for the wifebeaters........You know what we need Gerwitz? We need a character for the retards to get behind!" "Right away Mr. McMahon!" What next, a gimmick for the Jews? don't bring back barry horowitz A wrestling Rabbi.. they can call his finisher the Mazel Tav or the circumcisor or something.
DerangedHermit Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 "Eugene" would not be the first retarded wrestler:
JoeDirt Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 From 1wrestling... "The second match of the night had Garrison Cade taking on the aforementioned Eugene. Eugene may be Ohio Valley Wrestling's Matt Weiss, who was on the original card listing. Eugene's gimmick reminds me of Hillbilly Jim... real friendly, shaking hands with everyone... and so simple-minded he's a few ants short of a picnic. A lady in front of me wondered out loud, "Where did they dig this guy up?" As the bell rang Eugene climbed up onto the top turnbuckle and prepared to leap off before being talked back down by the ref. As the match started Cade kept getting flustered by Eugene's antics before finally luring him in and hammering with a clothesline. Cade began the offensive on Eugene, stomping on him, throwing him outside and then bringing him in with a suplex for a two count. A body slam and two running elbows off the ropes by Cade got another two count on Eugene, who the crowd slowly got behind. Cade continued the attack, getting more flustered after a back body drop gets only two. Cade yells out, "What the hell?!!" Cade dragged Eugene over to the corner and smashed his head into the turnbuckle, only to see Eugene "hulk up". Cade went for a kick, which was caught and Eugene delivered two karate chops to Cade's forehead, before hitting an atomic drop, a reverse atomic drop and finally an airplane spin on Cade. As Cade hit the mat Eugene got up on the top turnbuckle and a double ax-handle to Cade got a 2 3/4. Eugene went for another airplane spin on Cade, who reversed into a DDT. Cade got up on the top turnbuckle and delivered a Macho Man worthy flying elbow for the three count. Eugene received some good cheers as he was helped to the back afterwards."
Guest Choken One Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 "Eugene" would not be the first retarded wrestler: and let's remember...STEINER WAS INSANELY OVER to the point he was going to go over Flair in 5 minutes for the title. They dropped the retard aspect when Scott arrived...he just kept the earguards.
Guest Choken One Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 I love how Eugene has the most BASIC moveset and already is better then 3/4 of the DROPKICK OVWers.
J. Hungerford Smith Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 I saw him today at the house show in St. Louis. It's fucking gold. You will all laugh your asses off.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 (edited) You will all laugh your asses off. Oh, yeah, the Rasslin' Retard sounds like it's right up my alley. Edited March 29, 2004 by Anglesault
DerangedHermit Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 You will all laugh your asses off. Oh, yeah, the Rasslin' Retard sounds like it's right up my alley. You're a Test fan, aren't you?
J. Hungerford Smith Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Sorry. Let me rephrase. It's funny if you have a sense of humor and not a stick in your ass.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 I have a sense of humor. I don't find 3rd grade humor funny.
AndrewTS Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 If the gimmick goes horribly at house shows, would they still go through with it? That didn't stop them from going through with HHH-Steiner and Nash-HHH, so I'd imagine not.
Tawren Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Sorry. Let me rephrase. It's funny if you have a sense of humor and not a stick in your ass. LOL HE'S A RETARD LOL2004~!
DangerousDamon Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 I have a sense of humor. I don't find 3rd grade humor funny. What DO you find funny? I've been meaning to ask you that.
Vyce Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Is this worth it? I mean, I know, fame and fortune, and "making it in the WWE!" means a lot to people in the wrestling industry, but really.....is shit like this worth it? If you have any self-respect for yourself, can you really look at yourself in the mirror each morning and do this sort of gimmick, which is both incredibly embarrassing and offensive at the same time? I don't care if he's got bills to pay, or mouths to feed.....at some point, enough's enough. Christ. Just put him in Doink makeup again. That gimmick, while old, is still 2949 times better than this.
DerangedHermit Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Honestly, if this gimmick lasts long enough, I'd bring this sign to a show: EUGENE IS RETARDED See, it's a double meaning.
Guest Anglesault Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 I have a sense of humor. I don't find 3rd grade humor funny. What DO you find funny? I've been meaning to ask you that. I like more dry humor, that isn't beating you over the top of the head screaming ISN'T THIS FUNNY? LOLOL!"
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 You have to spell it like "Retarted" or perhaps "Raderted"

No. That's not why it's funny. It was just funny. He runs around and acts like a buffoon for no apparent reason. The sheer randomness of it all makes it funny. LOL2004. Fag.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 ...so, Dinsmore is apparently stealing the gimmick that Tyson Dux had this past Velocity?

J. Hungerford Smith Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 LOL YOU REPEATED WHAT HE SAID LOL2004~! Some people just need to lighten up.

2GOLD Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 Has anyone BEEN to the OVW site lately?? Alexis Laree's picture looks like a damn mug shot of a woman who tried to rob a Walmart. And isn't Nick Dinsmore just...Nick Dinsmore? Matt Weiss is Horshu

Guest wrestlingbs Posted March 29, 2004 Report Posted March 29, 2004 JHS, you seem to be missing the point. Even if by some miracle this gimmick is actually funny when Dinsmore debuts, how long do you think it will last? They did the same thing with Rico. Great wrestler in OVW, but they saddled him up with a gay gimmick for cheap laughs and look where he is now. He's the valet for Jackie Gayda. I have a feeling the same kind of thing will happen to Dinsmore.
