As one guy posted its 1995 all over again.......

 

I'm really getting tired of these "racist" gimmicks...as an african american I sometimes find these ideas very offensive....perhaps I need to bring the NAACP's attention to this issue :D

Dupree wang is indeed greater than Martel wang.

 

 

 

Has anyone seen or heard of this Yasuda guy?

...Who?! I don't recall anyone with that name on the WWE or even OVW Roster.

"Ken Yasuda"...the guy talked about being Hirohito's bodyguard up top in the article

So are they doing this to Booker T because he looks at his hand before he does the spinaroonie? They'll say he's possessed or something? Or he'll actually get into voodoo and shit?

Well the voodoo woman's name was "Mama" something. Draw your own conclusions from that.

 

I'm glad to hear the "Hirohito" name is being dropped. Although, it does make WWE look bad for just dropping something like that. It reminds me of Booker's letter stalker and "Little Johnny."

They had to drop that. It was Goldust. Goldust left.

Obviously. It still looked stupid when they just dropped it, though.

 

You'd think they would've at least tried to place someone else in the angle instead of just forgetting about it.

Me. I was behind G-TV.

 

And with my track record of making such comments, it will turn out that Jacqueline was behind G-TV.

I too am glad Hirohito is being dropped.

 

Kensuke Sasaki won't be coming to San Jose on 5/10 for the debut as we talked about last week. Ultimately, he wasn't going to come full time to the U.S. for a bodyguard role. Instead, the bodyguard role is going to Ken Yasuda, who is an American of Japanese ancestry who is a 5-10, 265 pound bodybuilder who apparently can speak both Japanese and English. He had a very brief period of training with UPW as a wrestler. He's said to be a good looking guy who has some acting and stunt work backround. The woman character will be Suzuki's wife, Hiroko, 29, who moved to New York with him. She has a unique backround which includes working from 1998 to 2000 as an anchor woman on a local news station in Fukushima, Japan, and after that, did some television acting, before marrying Suzuki last year.

 

So much for it going to Chuck.

 

There are some wilder angles planned both for new characters and exisisting characters, including a more outlandish reprise of the old Papa Shango character in a new role for Booker T which is supposed to come out of his Undertaker program. It's interesting to see so many new characters based on previous stars like Mordecai (early Undertaker and clearly being groomed for him), Tyson Tomko (early Kevin "Diesel" Nash), Rene Dupree (Rick Martel), and Eugene of late at a time when so much emphasis had been placed on a more serious real great wrestlers with real names battling it out with ultimate quest of getting the belt. Between that, and putting the cruiserweight title on Jacqueline, much of the new ideas are eerily reminiscent of the Vince Russo WCW.

 

Seeing how Rene is just being a Ric Flair wannabe, he should just mix that with Rick Martel, and we could have an interesting combo.

Speaking of silly gimmicks, I got a question... Whose hand was that popping out of the unmarked grave? Was it suppose to be taker's? Cause he just had a match on Smackdown right before they aired that.

I figured it was meant to be mordecai's?

I haven't seen it though and why the fuck is he dead now?

 

Smackdown sounds like it's going to become so fucking awful it'll be entertaining again.

I thought it could have been mordeci's also, but wouldn't it have been white?

I think someone joked around that it was a fake (or the real depending on how you want to look at it) Undertaker.

 

Im rooting for it to be Stevie Ray being brough back from the dead (ie not been on TV in forever and never on WWE shows)

That too was Goldust, as the first week or two it was GDTV.

 

So with GTV, Booker Stalker, and Se7en, Goldust is the king of aborted gimmicks.

Here's a question: why does the Undertaker sleep in the ground? I understand he's a dead and all, but still. After zombies emerge from the ground they don't GO BACK in.

 

It kinda makes all those Buried Alive matches pointless if Taker stays in the ground just for kicks.

Great, all we need know is JR to go back to saying, "whipping him like a pet coon" and everything will be perfect.

 

Maybe they should give Orlando Jordan that helmet Ron Simmons wore when he first came to the WWE. You know, the outfit that made him look like the WWF version of Avalanche.

 

Of course, you know....this is all leading to the return of the greatest wrestler of our time.

 

KING MABEL!

Oh, never heard of him. I usually skim news on stuff I don't really care for.

Undertaker: Hey boss, that Booker T can't work the WWE Style.

 

Vince: You're right, Taker! Damn it, I'm gonna go to the vault and dig something out. (5 minutes later) Booker, I got a new gimmick for you. Here is a top hat, a skull and bone necklace, and some face paint. You remember Papa Shango? Cause now that's your gimmick.

 

Booker T: Tell me, you didn't just say that.

 

Vince: Are you back talking me?! Just for that, you're jobbing to Spike Dudley for the next five months. I GURAN-DAMN-TE IT!

Not funny.

And that's only the third-worst gimmick Booker T had (GI Bro and Cole?). Be glad, Booker. Be glad.

Eugene and Regal worked because both were so perfect for the role and put so much into making the character feel real. Ironically, Tyson Tomko may work as well because he's so much like Kevin Nash (no talent, big guy with "look"). The only thing not going for him is that he has no "friends" backstage.

 

No Hirohito name? That kinda makes me sad, because it lessens the chances of this guy winning the Gooker Award at Wrestlecrap. Oh well, he's still a crappy wrestler.

 

And call me crazy, but Booker T could actually pull off being Papa Shango. It's still a bad idea, but he could pull it off.

She was the hummer driver, too.

 

And she raised the briefcase.

She also turned out the lights at NWO 03, allowing Sylvain Grenier to pretend to be Knocked Out.

All I can imagine Booker looking like is Tommy Davidson's character from Ace Ventura 2: When Nature Calls.
