Guest thebadguy76 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 This guy is really starting to scare me. He used to entertain me as Billy Gunn back in the WWE with his mannerisms etc but now he is starting to get downright weird for some reason. Calling yourself Mr. Ass is one thing but some of the things that he has been doing since he joined TNA is another. First he ties his referee shirt at the bottom like a woman at the last pay per view and now his trailer trash haircut with it shaved all the way around and braided on top which looks ridiculous. Then last but not least you have the lamest catchphrase in wrestling: "I'm Kip James, b*tch". I'm starting to wonder if the guy is back on drugs because something just isn't right.

The Buzz 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 He's been doin the shirt thing for awhile back in WWE. I think he's just trying to get heat by being the overly feminine while not being gay. Maybe he's just trying to have an original look and trying to get himself over before his career is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 I think he's trying to use HBK's borderline gay look thinking it'll get him over and not remembering that really only HBK can make that look work while Kip just looks foolish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest thebadguy76 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 uh oh, if he's trying to emulate the HBK it looks like he may have to look forward to him wearing leather chaps to the ring next. James has already worn biker shorts so he has that look covered. The whole Kip James name in general is just stupid having him share the same last name as BG James.

swan 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 I never got the whole "I'm Kip James bitch" catchphrase. Did he go for the name Kip James so he could rip off Dave Chappelle's "I'm Rick James Bitch". Why else for such a terrible ring name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest [censored] Report post Posted November 28, 2005 It seems like every persona he has had involves homosexuality on some level or another. It wouldn't suprise me if he's truly gay. The sad part is, if he is gay, and was open in a non stupid, demeaning fashion, it would actually make for an interesting character which he has never and will never be.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2005 The original New Age Outlaws were interesting...since they were just flat-out pricks who loved to offend and annoy. I actually LIKE the "I'm Kip James, BITCH!" catchphrase. It's a dumb name, true, but I like catchphrases or shirts or logo's for wrestlers that reference other aspects of pop culture.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 But that catchphrase isn't as big as it was when Chappelle's Show was on the air. He's a bit too late to the party here. Of course, I have no idea why bookers still think this guy will EVER get over as anything but Mr. Ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 One of the other reasons that "I'm Kip James, bitch!" really sucks is that Tenay sounds awkward when he says it on commentary. "He says he's 'Kip James, bitch!'" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
