Guest tikayoh45 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Never eally though about it but isnt it kinda funny that Abyss is like a Mankind/Kane mix-up? Lashley does the spear now, is that to make his more like WWE's Monty Brown? Samoa Joe-Umaga? Is that not obvious? Greg Helms look is similar to AJ Styles as well? Are these jabs or lack of creative ideas or wut??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name was similar, even his finisher. Same with team 3d and the James Gang. They are really building Umaga off of Joes success tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the HiTman Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The only one I notice is Abyss to Mankind. Best ever is WCW's response to Stone Cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these jabs or lack of creative ideas or wut???[/quote'] Abyss' character does look Kane/Mankind inspired indeed. I don't think Monty Brown was copied as such by WWE with Lashley. They just both happen to be big black guys with a similar move they share. Samoa Joe and Umaga don't have much in common to be honest. Umaga's more gimmicky whereas Joe is just a straight-up ass-kicker. I don't see the similarities in Helms and Styles at all. They're the same size roughly, that's about it.

Thats about it really. the whole samoan submission machine/ samoan bulldozer seems kinda similar. but thats it. I just seems that way and would be funny if they were trying to compete that way to try and win over a character idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AustinAries Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Monty Brown wishes he could be half the Superstar Lashley is, and Lashley uses a Spear, Monty Brown uses a crappy Shoulder Block. its not a shoulder tackle...its a PPOOOOUUUNNNCCCEE-AAHHH..PERIOD. And some other guys: Siaki was TNA's answer to the Rock (but I dont think quite cut it) The obvious Lance Hoyt/Test similarity. And although this isnt about looking the same, anyone ever notice how some guys "borrow" signature moves off eachother...like the Carlito's backcracker looks an awful lot like Walters' Lung Blower...:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 you realise a spear is just a shoulder block to the mid-section yes??? a Spear is a running Tackle into a Mid-Section, which is a hell of alot better than the Pounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Twig Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Samoa Joe and Umaga don't have much in common to be honest. Umaga's more gimmicky whereas Joe is just a straight-up ass-kicker. Umaga is what Joe would be doing if he took WWE's offer. Umaga is WWE's veriosn of Joe... because it really doesn'tseem like the WWE would let anyone who isn't big muscular and white be a straight up ass-kicker.

Guest Sav Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 How much have you actually seen of Monty Brown? He EASILY has more personality and better promos than Lashley. If Lashley was in TNA and Brown was in WWE, you'd be licking Monty's balls and you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Have you HEARD Lashley talk? He sounds like Lizzie Maguire. "Soft Spoken, Hard Hittin", atleast WWE dont try to cover it up.

GENE Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Monty Brown has a hell of alot of Charisma Perfect your just talking from your usual TNA is shite perspective,Brown can cut an awesome promo he makes himself and can be funny in it and put across the match.What can Lashley do? **** up an already written promo and he makes Lesnar and Jay Lethal look good on the mic.

Ryan Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I've seen Monty Brown in both Matches & Promo's, and IMO, he has as much Charisma as a Fruit Cake with no Fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
