UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 Wrestlers not kicking out of FINISHING MOVES. Total bullshit.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I miss Doug Gilbert shoots... "You see Randy (Hales), if I say somethin' that I shouldn't about you ri-now SMOKIN' CRACK :::makes lighting crack pipe gesture::: "Oh! Doug! That's not true!" :::Tommy Rich stands there, arms crossed, hilarious::: "There are certain times we can cut to commercial, and I think now is one of them..." Doug: "Oh ok Dave, lemme say one more thing. You gave everybody else there chance, right?" Dave: Watch what you say. Doug: "Now I ain't gonna do "OH! JERRY LAWLER, IM GONNA STICK MY FIST IN YOUR MOUTH!" Now, c'mon, I ain't that corny. I'd say, "I'm Doug Gilbert! And Jerry Lawler, you RAPED A LITTLE 13 YEAR OLD GIRL!"
King Cucaracha Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Wrestlers actually having distinguishable characters. Say what you will the cartoony era. Or about a garbage man and a taxman working as wrestlers. But at least you knew WHY to like them or why to hate them and they at least stood out from other workers. Now, 90% of the roster are interchangeable. What exactly is the difference between The Con-Man and The Bash-Man? What is Dupree's gimmick now? Guy with funny moustache? What about Shelton? Carlito is Carribean and Masters is supposed to be a Masterpiece because of his muscles, but they act no differently from one another except some muscle flexing and apple spitting. Also, I miss the days when missing Raw was a big deal. The times when Raw was really unpredictable and by missing a show, you really could miss something big on any given week. Now, there's no such unpredictability or intrigue and no reason to turn in every week, no exceptions.
Rendclaw Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Not to mention that the WWF of old had the NWA to compete against day in and day out. If wrestling was to go back how it was back then to any extent, TNA needs to be a major competitor within three years.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 The Con-Man is a fan of Toy Story music, does things his own way, and likes showing off his body. The Bash-Man is a cocky southern-type paying Homage to UWF Bossman or something. Shelton's gimmick is token athletic guy. Carlito has facial hair, Masters doesn't. Masters, however, has a robe, which Carlito doesn't. These reasons are why you're supposed to be paying 34.95 a month (sometimes TWICE!) to see the characters you've grown attached to. Get with it!
Guest Masterlock Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 I miss the lack of boring midgets in the main event. I miss squash matches. I miss when the top guys jobbed like once a year if that. I miss no-selling big men.
nl5xsk1 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 ^ I miss not having to deal with gimmick posters on the internet
alfdogg Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 I miss when the top guys jobbed like once a year if that. You say that as if it's not still the case.
kirk angel Posted October 2, 2005 Report Posted October 2, 2005 I never saw Hogan on either show, and I only recall seeing Warrior on Challenge once. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Warrior was on all the time up until he beat Hogan
