Comments That Don't Require Their Own Thread 2007

[Dead Crow 370]

I've seen this done on other forums and in honesty, there have several times where I've wanted to say certain things on wrestling that don't really need me to make a thread on them. So I figured this'd work here. Basically, just use this thread to make idle comments as you think of them, or to reply to the thoughts of others.

 

I'll kick us off.

 

I'm watching Raw Is War from May 26th 1997 and it's sad to know how bad Jerry Lawler became. He used to be a great heel and cut a great promo on Goldust, saying that he kisses men like a "f*g" and that his daughter Dakota should have been called Target because "everyone had a shot".

 

He then takes on the babyface Goldust and gets lots of cheers from the pro-USWA and pro-Lawler crowd. Even through cheating, the heel gets cheered as he wins the match. Ah, good days.

 

It's just so sad to know that most people think of Lawler as an old guy who can't accept growing old. In reality, he was one of the greatest babyfaces in wrestling history, and a great heel too.

 

Your turn :)

just watched the HBK heel turn on Janetty and listening to Heenan's commentary reminded me how much of a great heel colour he was. 'janetty tried to escape by going through the window!' or something like that, bloody funny

You know what is genuinely turning me away from wrestling? Fans. I'm absolutely fed up of great atches being spoiled by morons who think they know what they are talking about. In particular, UK fans. I watched a fantastic tag match last night, between The Briscoes and Strong and Aries. Absolutely great match, but the fans almost ruined it totally. Every chop Strong did got a massive reaction and even chants of "Holy Sh*t!!". A butterfly suplex got one of the biggest pops in the match, and for no reason at all.

 

another problem with these UK fans is how they used American chants. In America, it obviously works, but when have you ever heard a British person say "Holy sh*t" in real life? Nobody really says "Awesome" either. The "Let's go ..." bit is usually chanted in an America accent too. It annoys me so much.

 

Then you get those who try to make a name out of themselves by being a kn*bhead. Those who chant stpid stuff all the time. What's the point? I remember seeing Super Dragon, who I can't stand, make one of these idiots almost sh*t himself, because Dragon reacted to his nonsense.

 

What happened to politely clapping at good sequences, popping for big moves, booing heels, cherring faces and reacting to the finish? The only good crowds in America at the moment are in the WWE. TNA, ROH and other indy fans are morons. There is o many matches getting spoilt by people it's incredible.

WWE fans arent so innocent. Standing up and waving every time they appear on the tron. Yes we know you bought front row tickets and we can see you, so could you please sit down and stop acting like a child.

Why can't people work a headlock for 15 minutes anymore? Why won't nobody believe an aerial finisher is if doesn't have at least half a flip or a twist in it? Why isn't every promo cut with the wrestler screaming at the top of their lungs with their face shaking and turning red? I call it progress.

It's also down to the size of a crowd. It's harder to get an innovative chant started in a big crowd, and what's wrong with wrestler's interacting with fans?

[Guest The Beltster]

Because modern fans are morons and 2007 wrestlers dont know how to work. IF they knew how to work, they would be able to slap on a headlock for 30 minutes and keep the crowd.

I'd say only the former is true. You throw in anyone... Rock, Austin, Hogan, who all know how to work, and they wouldn't last 10 minutes with a headlock without getting booed to Jesus and back.

I disagree. You put Hogan in there with Austin specifically with Hogan as a heel and he would work a headlock for 10 minutes and the people would be going crazy, I have no doubt. All you need to do are the little things. Let Austin get to the ropes while the ref is distracted and pull him back into the centre of the ring with the headlock still applied, hold it for a while while yelling at the fans telling them how much they suck. Let Austin work his way out and before he breaks it smack him in the bollocks and control the headlock back down to the mat while still working the fans.

 

It would work and it would show people that because its a boring hold doesnt mean it has to be boring to watch if done right by people who can work and people who the fans care about.

i feel the only way to survive a 'Spud' match is to chant 'Spud's on steroids'

 

and one of my favourites is when Christof and I started a 'Cena takes it up the arse chant' at the Earls Court RAW a few months ago, pure comedy

Ah yes, the gay joke....the last refuge of the humourless.

[Guest Slim Jim]

To be fair, it matches most of Cena's promos.

Heenan was class back in those days. I've said before, but in my opinion the Royal Rumble in 1992 was his defining moment. Including;

 

Flair goes to lowblow taker "Did you see that, he tried to lift the Undertaker!"

 

"I never thought I'd say this but thank you Roddy, it's not a skirt it's a kilt" (Roddy attacks Flair) "Why you no good creep, you skirt wearing freak - it's not a kilt it's a skirt!" :lol

Great idea for a Thread Draven. Be interesting to see what direction this thread goes in. Should be fun.

[Guest The Great Ahmar]

Hardcore Homecoming is so crap! Not a single good match on the show.

[Dead Crow 370]

If it makes anyone feel better, John Cena is apparently taking a leave of absense later on in the year. I'm fine with that - if anyone deserves it, it's him. The guy has worked far too hard over the last two years. He deserves a break.
