Gary Floyd Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 The chop heard round the world: It looks more like he did the televangelist "touch his head and he's healed" routine instead of a chop.
Guest Princess Leena Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I couldn't care less about how his matches are, as long as he doesn't injure people. He's a super big hoss, therefore I like this guy.

Guest Princess Leena Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 He can rip the turnbuckle apart, too. Which I thought was pretty cool.
CheesalaIsGood Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 He can rip the turnbuckle apart, too. Which I thought was pretty cool. I did think that was pretty cool. The ease with which he did it.
Downhome Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 You all seem to be forgetting about this truly devastating move: I almost feel sorry for Taker having to sell that Giant Baba chop and those headbuts.
Guest Princess Leena Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I don't see what's so bad about the chop. Yeah, it looks crappy, but it looks just as silly when other wrestlers crumble to Taker's non-stop punches.
CheesalaIsGood Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I think it boils down to the WWE always making size mean everything. Andre used to do headbutts very similar and guys would sell it like they got hit by a train. Thing is Taker has a long history of no selling moves by guys who are HIS size. You would think he wouldn't sell the headbutt like he was Funaki. Having just recently seen the Lesnar/Akebono match I am kinda put off of the "spectacle match". We can only hope that Singh will listen to guys like Arn and Steamboat if they are working with him and actually MAKE SOMETHING of the big man style more akin to Vader than Akeem.
Hawk 34 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Singh, won't work even be able to be a watered down TBS, much less in the vein of Vader.
tekcop Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 The chop looked bad, but I don't see anything wrong with the headbutt whatsoever.
CheesalaIsGood Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Singh, won't work even be able to be a watered down TBS, much less in the vein of Vader. Have you seen him before? I have heard he worked in Japan but have no idea how well or awful he did.

I have heard he worked in Japan but have no idea how well or awful he did. It's not hard to find stuff on Singh. I wouldn't normally advise this, but go find out for yourself how bad he is.
2GOLD Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Yeah, the headbutt was perfectly acceptable. Reminded me of the headbutts Meng used to dish out, so I like that. The chop was just, it felt like he should have yelled, "judo...CHOP" as he did it. As for the people saying he's going to injury someone badly, well maybe and maybe not. If they just keep him to a basic moveset with limited drop moves then he'll be fine. His matches are going to be incredibly boring no matter what but I don't think he'll injury anyone. Except Steven Richards.
Downhome Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 The chop looked bad, but I don't see anything wrong with the headbutt whatsoever. I don't see anything wrong with it as just a move in a match - but as a move, along with that chop, that takes Taker out? Come on now. Even with the exposed turnbuckle shot I thought it was silly.

I don't see anything wrong with it as just a move in a match - but as a move, along with that chop, that takes Taker out? Come on now. Might be more of a sell about the damage that the chop did. Maybe it was a way of saying the intial move left Taker so vulernable and in such a weakened state that any impact to his head would be devasting. Plus the other option was Singh has to hit some kind of drop move and I see no good coming out of that.
tekcop Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Meh, they're putting over his size and covering his limitations. It's kind of like watching a Kamala match. I see no problem with it. The Singh debut was the only thing I saw on SD last night, and it was way better than Gonzales's debut. Plus, I'm kind of with Leena here, he's a big assed super hoss, so I'm going to sit here and mark out no matter what.
Ravenbomb Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 well, didn't take long for one of the commentators to say "I don't think I've seen anyone manhandle the Undertaker like this"
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 They need less of Singh wrestling, and more of him ripping turnbuckle pads off. That was, like, the spot of the year. Tremendous.
The Niggardly King Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 For all of the times for Taker to sell a move like it was death, the CHOP was not one of them.
Guest jaderock Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Chop heard around the world - now that was funny!
Phoenix Fury Legdrop Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Am I the only one that doesn't think he's big ENOUGH? I mean, the dude's got a ridiculous barrel chest, but together with Taker, he just kind of looked like a large, regular-looking dude (other than that damn jaw...Jesus Christobal!)
UZI Suicide Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Dalip Singh might honestly be the worst wrestler on the planet right now. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's the worst wrestler to EVER step into the ring. And because of that, I'm going to have to order the next PPV to see him wrestle. He's so bad that you can't help but watch.
Enigma Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 There's something about this guy that makes him uneasy to look at from my view. He looks like he's ripped with the elevated veins and everything, but his skin looks like it's draped on him instead of tight like ripped people should be. It's very disturbing.
Cheech Tremendous Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Am I the only one that doesn't think he's big ENOUGH? I mean, the dude's got a ridiculous barrel chest, but together with Taker, he just kind of looked like a large, regular-looking dude (other than that damn jaw...Jesus Christobal!) Well's that WWE for ya. Sign a guy who's only thing going fof him is height and put him against the second biggest guy on the roster to make him look less impressive. And by the way, didn't Meltzer say this guy was the worst wrestler he had ever seen?
ChrisMWaters Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I'm calling it for Mania 23. Big Show vs. Dalip Singh.
Guest korndogg123 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I was havin flashbacks to '92-93 last night. Undertaker buries Kamala in a casket match and Harvey Whippleman promises Taker a big surprise cause of it. Two months later the Giant Gonzalez comes out and beats Taker's ass during the Rumble. Same thing happens last night. Daivari brings Singh out, Taker stops dead in his tracks and goes nose to chest and gets destroyed. Only this time it didn't take as long for Singh to come out and kill Taker. I was sayin to the TV, "yeah, you gonna chokeslam him now big man?"
buffybeast Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 What in God's name possessed WWE to even think about signing this guy? All I could think about last night was, "El Gigante! That's El Gigante!" Why?
Downhome Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 The chop heard round the world: It looks more like he did the televangelist "touch his head and he's healed" routine instead of a chop. Years ago I used to go around saying that I wanted somone with that gimmick. Someone like Brother Love, only an actual wrestler with the gimmick that you just mentioned.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 Is he the big guy from the Longest Yard?
