Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Heh it was documented a large segment of the people watching Smackdown was Latino, hence the pushes of Rey before the forgot how to deal with cruiserweights and the Guerreros. Now they don't even hire a Luchador for a one time deal just For JBL to Squash and Humiliate, they settle for some White boy in a mask...

Eclipse 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 At first, the whole JBL dissing the Mexicans to get heat was ok. But now, it is getting tiring hearing him say he is on a mission to get them! Yes, it makes look more like a heelish hero, but man, what will happen to him after Judgment Day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it makes look more like a heelish hero, but man, what will happen to him after Judgment Day? It's never ok to do stuff like that, how about instead of Mexicans he was talking about blacks or jews, either way this whole angle is silly and a sad way to get cheap heat.Bradshaw was worthless before he became JBL and he will still be worthless after this.

You mean like Col Debeers and Terry Funk? Or Baron Von Raschke (who continued to goose step even after becoming a face)? It's been done before, it'll be done again. Doesn't make it right, but don't act like it's unheard of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted April 24, 2004 How does Bradshaw hating Mexicans help his chances of winning? It would be great if JBL went on and on to Eddie Guerrero about how he hates mexicans and he's gonna get rid of them, and then at the end Eddie just said, "Well, that doesn't really matter 'cuse you suck in the ring."

Batman can't work the WWE style he'll never make it in the fed. In a month he'll be on the B-shows jobbing to Billy Gunn. I just downloaded that match he had with Jesus a few years back. I think he's great, but he'd probably end up as a jobber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2004 I don't read spoilers, so I didn't know for sure. It looked like him, but he changed his dropkick up so not to be noticed. While we would have caught it, I doubt the average WWE fan would of with his limited wrestling tv time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2004 I thought London did a good job at hiding himself, as far as how he bumped and did what little offensive moves he did. I wasn't upset by it. It makes sense...they were going to pay him for being there anyway, so why not actually use him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
