Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 6, 2006 why did they even bother then? Two reasons: 1.) Johnny Ace is his brother and has a position with some pull 2.) WWE wanted to release a Road Warriors DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Who's even left on the Smackdown roster that isn't injured or never used? As for the release, well good riddance, however this just means cost cutting for new unworkable divas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWE wanted to release a Road Warriors DVD. no my question was why they bothered with the gimmick tweaking and all that - he better as Animal with the shoulder pads and all, at least he had a nostalgia factor and not just a "who's that big butch dyke in the ring" factor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyperchord24 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 YESSSSS!!!!! I guess Johnny's losing power now too. I remember a while ago someone suggesting they should release Animal. I also remember someone saying since he's Johnny Ace's brother, he wouldn't. So, what's the deal? Why would Johnny be losing "power?" Presumably he hasn't been demoted, and Vince trusts him, right?

Downhome 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Now watch TNA run an angle where a new guy is set to debut in a huge match, and it ends up being him. Anyone remember that one from WCW? I believe it was in the match that Sid broke the shit out of his leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
