EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Reason Why WWE Pulled Goldberg's Jackhammer Another thing that didn't go right.... Goldberg recently spoke negatively about WWE for making him stop using his Jackhammer move at the end of his WWE stint. The reason that WWE made him stop using it was because many wrestlers complained that he was wreckless with the move. Credit: Torch Newsletter Details On WWE's New Mordecai Character Will likely be used as a jobber for the Undertaker.... As reported, WWE new Mordecai character will be played by OVW developmental wrestler Kevin Fertig. Many feel Fertig is very green in the ring but makes up for it in poise. Despite that, most feel he will just be used to job to the Undertaker. Credit: Torch Newsletter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook Report post Posted May 1, 2004 So they're giving an (arguably) interesting new character a multi-week buildup with many vignettes only to job him out to a guy who's already as over as he's going to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Picardo Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Mabey Mordecai will get the Ultimo Dragon treatment. A nice debut on Smackdown and then off to Velocity for the rest of his fricken life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Mordecai is a hoss, so he will not be getting the Dragon treatment. They will build him up by squashing crusierweights and smark-favorites until the Undertaker squashes him. The way that news item was worded was weird.....it gave the impression the green Fertig would be demoted down to OVW again once The Undertaker destroys him.

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted May 1, 2004 God knows they have to keep the Undertaker looking strong. I understand some people are still interested in the guy, but do the only thing they have for him is to squash other talent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 1, 2004 This makes no sense...Another Huge Hyped debut just to job him out to the Dead Man. Why don't they realize that 'Taker is at Foley level now...Losing doesn't hurt his overness...The character is over...the legancy is over...The fans will be able to accept that he lost...at least streach the thing out if just to keep 'Taker the fuck from the main event.

Tomko sometimes worked dark matches or house shows in the past and when he arrived backstage, he acted like he was something special.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Wreckless? The Jackhammer is nothing more than a body slam for crap sake. The spear, yeah I could see some complaints but a body slam? Sounds like guys were just complaining to complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 The Jackhammer is NOT a bodyslam. It's a VERY high angle Powerslam that can be extremely stiff if done wrong, and let's face it - Goldberg ain't the Excellence of Execution, now is he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So let's see here... Undertaker Vs Mordacai Christian with Tyson Tomko Hirohito set to debut Luther pushing around Angle Eugene the retard Anyone else? I can't remember...(you get the idea) Lets see......Eugene is actually getting over...everyone else can go to hell. Mordecai CAN be interesting, as long as by squash they mean "just job". Bane/Tomko sucks from what I've seen, and looks retarded. Hirohito, who will likely be Kenzo Suzuki, ALSO sucks and the gimmick looks terrible. Horshu/Luther? was never impressive from what I've seen. And Nick Dinsmore had to come up with a gimmick of a retard to get on WWE TV. IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ALL OF THIS~?!

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 So exactly how many matches did Goldberg not get to use the Jackhammer at the end of his run? As I recall, that was the move he beat Lesnar with, plus he didn't wrestle for the six weeks before that while he was shooting his movie. This whole thing sounds like bullshit to me.
