Guest Banders Kennany Report post Posted November 5, 2004 Twice now in the most recent firing thread, I've heard people mention Viscera as having a job now. I thought this was a one time thing? Anyone have any info on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 5, 2004 I'm 99.999999% sure that he is simply a one-time shot type deal (plus Christian said in his promo "For one night only") Kinda like how WWE used LOD for a week against RVD/Kane, or like how TNA use to bring in old losers for one shot deals to put people over (except they rarely did put people over). I don't know how Viscera putting over Benjamin looks good though. He's a big fat jobber that everyone hates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 Given the financial state of the company, I'd pay him per appearance; he's got a steady job working in Memphis anyway and I'd rather have him keep that (where he's *over*) than get stuck as a HeAt JTTS for the next year.

I was reffering to people who were seriously out of shape (Jim Duggan, Ricky Morton, the Moondog,...MABEL AGAIN, etc. etc.) I didn't get to see Eaton vs. Kash, but I heard it wasn't too good of a match.

jester 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 Seriously, when they bring back Mabel for any reason, can they sink lower? Can anybody think of a worse wrestler to bring back, one shot deal or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 5, 2004 Well he's big and fat, and big and fat people are INTIMIDATION CLASS 101 to Vince McMahon. Having him squashed by everyone and their mothers in a 4 minute match isn't too bad, as long as it's not an every day thing. I for one think Gangrel should be given another chance though. Fuck Mabel/Viscera/Barney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was out of shape (he was in "Arn Anderson shape" to begin with, if ya know what I mean), and it wasn't very "good," but it was still cool to see Bobby out there again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Beautiful Bobby has always been one of my "mark" favorites in WCW...pre Blue Bloods and JTTS Hell that is. Funny how they pimped him as a high flyer, yet he had to be at least 240 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Vis works when he's needed as 'generic big fat heel' for under 3:00 (singles match) or 7:00 (tag). After that, he's exposed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Week or two after Kane/RVD won tag titles from Morley/Storm. LOD were coming in for 2 dark matches at the RAW/SD taping, but ended up being part of an angle where Bischoff hired them to beat Kane/RVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k thx 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2004 Evidently not. IIRC it was a month or two before he passed away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 8, 2004 Hawk died at least 6 months after the match took place. He was one of the final "big names" to die in 2003, and I'm 100% sure it was around November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
