Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Is there any more annoying character than a face authority figure? He fucks the heels just as much as as a heel will fuck the faces, but we're supposed to cheer him for it and boo the heel when they finally react. The Foley Commsioner character was the worst. The Hardyz get 18 tag title shots, finally win, and E and C get one, and we're supposed to boo them when they beat the shit out of Foley with Angle and McMahon?
theintensifier Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Agreed. They need to do a "tweener" authority figure. He hates everyone, and fucks everyone over, but is fair. Fit Finlay once he retires from the in-ring wars should do this.

Fit Finlay once he retires from the in-ring wars should do this. Wasn't that basically William Regal? He was a dick to everyone, even the occasional heel. Mike Sanders, I think was also a total tweener as well.
theintensifier Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 I didn't see much of Mike Sanders' run as commish in WCW, but I remember him fucking over the faces the majority of the time. And as for Regal, no. He was a heel commish the entire time in my opinion. He worked for McMahon most of the time. Remember when Benoit was going after Austin in '01 ? Regal was constantly putting Benoit and Jericho through handicap matches and stuff of that nature.
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Regal really only had that one promo on HHH that was AWESOME. Otherwise he was a heel or a face during the Invasion.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Theres nothing wrong with Long. He's not apart of any storylines, and his character is a fair GM.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 When Booker eventually snaps and beats the shit out of Teddy Long, are we supposed to boo him? Considering for all the weeks Booker screwed Benoit storyline wise, nope.
Guest Dam(o)nYankees Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 Theres nothing wrong with Long. He's not apart of any storylines, and his character is a fair GM. The character went out of his way to fuck with Bradshaw for months, and is doing the same with Booker. Forcing Sharmell into the Mania match, costing Booker T matches against jobbers, he's biased against the heels which makes for an annoying Foley lile character.

Forcing Sharmell into the Mania match, costing Booker T matches against jobbers, he's biased against the heels which makes for an annoying Foley lile character. At least Foley had good segments with Angle, E&C and Triple H. Long, doesn't even bother to be entertaining in the process.

In storyline mode, Booker T and Sharmell had it coming after months of screwing Benoit out of the US title. Judging from the spoilers, it seems like everything is back to normal. Teddy Long screwing Booker T, is certainly better then Eric Bischoff's predictable weekly, "You will be facing... KANE!!!!!!!!" segment.

And Long fucking Booker out of a match for no reason is a lot worse than anything Bischoff did because we're supposed to cheer Long for this
Hawk 34 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 What is worse, at least with Foley...you understood why Foley did it to Triple H or Angle or E&C. Why does Long hate Booker T so much? Is it because of what Booker T said when he was traded to the show? Just offer some explanation for this, is the least they could do.

I can't believe I'm having this kind of argument. I feel like I'm in Gr. 5 again, so markish. And Hawk, it's not hard to understand why Long is hard on Booker T, if you can't then you need special ed. Booker T cheated to win the US title, then he cheated the best of seven series and had Randy Orton win him the thing, then he had Finlay wrestle for him. It's not fucking rocket science. But than again, Hawk 34 is the same guy who wanted Batista to jobbed the world title at summerslam to Hassan, in Batista's hometown, just to regain it 1 month later.

Shooting Star Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Just the other day I was thinking.....that it would be cool for a 10 year anniversay of Austin 3:16 at the King of The Ring but that they didn't have the tournament anymore....awesome

Si82 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 They need to do a "tweener" authority figure. He hates everyone, and fucks everyone over, but is fair. I thought Bischoff did a good job of that gimmick back in late '04/early '05.
Guest JRE Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Summerslam= The King of the Ring vs. The King of Kings

I thought Bischoff did a good job of that gimmick back in late '04/early '05. Yeah I agree. If anything they should just bring back Bischoff. But without his weekly "You will be facing...KANE!!!!'. Have him as fair GM.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 How about just doing away with the GM concept?
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 How about just doing away with the GM concept? Nothing wrong with the GM concept, I just don't like the GM being a main role in main event storylines, or the "HEEL" GM who screws everyone over. Bischoff when he 1st came to RAW was great, and was not overly heel. Then they turned him into a full blown heel.
bob_barron Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 I'm 80% sure it was you, but whatever, I'm too lazy to try to find the thread. I looked it up, he didn't suggest that either. Try again.
