Enigma 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Former WWF star Chris "Tatanka" Chavis is backstage at the Raw taping at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. Given that he isn't local to the area and word was going around over the weekend that WWE was trying to track him down, it's likely he's going to be involved in some fashion on Raw tonight.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 yeah, what CC said, why can't they push current talent and stop using has-beens? WWE Executive: Hey i got an idea, let's bring back a mildly over guy who's pushing 40 and totally forget about young guys with all the potential in the world who are way over like Shelton Benjamin! do you think the crowd will be all "who the hell is this guy?"

Silence 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 It might have something to do with the DivaSearch. Remember when they brought back Kamala for it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yippee! The Raw Diva Search contestants have an Indian dancing contest with Tatanka this week on Raw! Edit: Fuck, I forgot that this week is the Raw Diva Search jousting competition. Oh well, it'll still suck with or without Tatanka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spman 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 I've got tickets for tonights RAW and tomorrows Smackdown too. I'm dissapointed to hear Hogan won't be there, but I think I'll be entertained by this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 I bet he'll be used for the Eugene Invitational thing since the arena is on a reservation and it would just make sense as such. I dont see the big deal with having him back if he's just putting over a current talent for a week, much like Jake Roberts did in showing up one week and taking an RKO. It just better helps to put over the current talent anyway. Major announcement = Hardy v. Edge at SummerSlam and/or Hardy "reinstated" back into WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 I always thought they should have pushed Tatanka to the top. From what I hear, he's also a pretty great guy. *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted August 1, 2005 It would kind of be cool if Eugene had obscure wrestlers from the nineties (and even the eighties) compete in the Eugene Invitational. He's going to face Papa Shango next, isn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 It would kind of be cool if Eugene had obscure wrestlers from the nineties (and even the eighties) compete in the Eugene Invitational. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It sure as hell would be more of a point to watch than random jobbers, like Angle faced for so many months. Wonder if there is going to be any follow up with Matt Striker by the way?!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caliban 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Wow, that's fucking weird. I was watching the 1994 KOTR only yesterday, and was thinking how Tatanka's "get head smashed into turnbuckles, start Indian war dance" routine was similar to Eugene's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 My first thought was the diva search ... but they already used Sarge in the "Kamala" role from the 1st search. My second thought was the Eugene invitational ... but since Eugene is a face, shouldn't his challengers be heels? And wouldn't a returning "superstar" like Tatanka get a face reaction?

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 It's odd that they group Tatanka in nowdays with all the lame gimmick wrestlers of the early 90s...he was a lot more popular than that. Who wouldn't have been a mark for a 1992/93 match with Bulldog vs. Tatanka? Canadian Chick, you liked Tatanka in 1995, after he did the heel turn that basically killed his career?

Anyways, since RAW IS being held at an Indian Casino tonight, who wants to be that WWE just goes balls out and uses Tatanka in the most tasteless offensive way possible, and gets banned from the arena for life?

strummer 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Meltzer: --Chris "Tatanka" Chavis is backstage at the Raw show. The only speculation I have is that they are at the Mohegan Sun Casino, so perhaps they were looking for a Native American character, and when you think about it, there's nobody else who has any fame who isn't way too old.
