Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) I was having audio problems tonight and I really tune out most of the commentary on Raw anyway, so maybe this has been addressed... but enough already with the fucking inside out jacket. The first time they did it, it was clever. But each successive week it has just gotten worse and worse. I don't care if the guy is supposed to be retarded, even mentally handicapped people get it right sometimes. Or at least wrong in a different way. Have him put two arms in the same sleeve for all I care, just ease off this inside out business Basically, what I'm trying to say is they've run the joke into the ground, and it's time to come up with another clever idea.

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 That's the thing you're going to harp on with Eugene, eh? Okay... (files this for later reference when AS continues to bitch about the jacket despite Eugene hitting on all cylinders, in addition to Orton not being able to hit a low blow, and Cena's constant use of "colored people talk") I have no problem with it. I'm glad they dumped the safety-pinned nametag. That was my only qualm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 How is the joke dead? It's a freakin character quirk. It's not meant to be the thing the fans harp on. This complaint is just silly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Maybe it's just me. I think, at some point over the last two months he would have worn it properly. I'd like to add that Kotz baiting of me has added nothing to this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Really, AS. A lot of us believed that this character would tank, but WWE has proven the doubters wrong and have actually gotten this guy majorly over, and you STILL have to bitch about some miniscule, insignificant part of it? I mean, come on. Although, I would have liked Eugene to start juggling those bowling pins like a pro (what the hell does the arena need to store bowling pins for, anyway?)

NYU 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Eh, like Parka said, it's just one of those particular character quirks that Eugene has. Sure, it might not be mind-blowingly hilarious, but it still adds a touch to the character. For as technically sound as he is in the ring, for as knowledgeable as he is about wrestling history and past superstars.....he still doesn't know how to properly put on his jacket. This certainly isn't the kind of topic that people should be fighting in. Seriously, someone needs to lighten up the mood. And hell, although he may be tired from saving the Raw thread, I'm sure he doesn't mind making a brief cameo..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingPK 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 The "Eugene" on the back is reversed. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE tries marketing shirts or jackets like that. I'm not sure if they would actually SELL, but they will try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted May 18, 2004 So the thing holding you back from properly enjoying a new character that WWE finally gets right and also happens to be proficient in the ring is an inside out jacket??? Mate, generally I agree with most of what you say, but in this instance you really need stop totally overanaylsing every minutiae and let yourself enjoy something. On a side note, Y2Jerk, I reckon that shirt in your sig is fuckin' awesome, that would have to be one of the only pieces of WWE Merch I would actually wear. Please tell me it doesn't have some ridiculous John Cena picture or anything on the back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 at least the interesting thing is that the jacket itself seems a design similar to the ones worn by Strike Force Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 I can just imagine what A.S. did when he saw that on tv...

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 For me it's not the jacket, it's the nametag. Tt was funny the first time, and made sense, too, since he was presumably left by himself waiting for someone to come for him. The idea that he wears it all week every week, though, is a little stupid. Dumber than Benoit always appearing in his tights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Dumber than Benoit always appearing in his tights. That's because he lives, eats and breathes wrestling or something. He has no other clothes. I always wondered why guys who weren't even scheduled to wrestle walked around wearing their gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 The nametag is part of his titantron video, so I guess that's here to stay. As for the jacket...maybe it's more confortable inside-out. You know what really bothers me though. Val Venis. What's with the towel...did he just come out of the shower or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 I always wondered why guys who weren't even scheduled to wrestle walked around wearing their gear. What's dumber is when those same guys are usually wearing a generic WWE t-shirt (PPV logo, "Get The F Out", whatever) when doing a run-in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
