Cobra Commander Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Looking around HistoryOfWWE and I found a trio that worked Japan which would have produced some interesting vignettes if they tried these 3 in WCW: The Nasty Boys and Lord Steven Regal.

(BP) Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The Nasty Boys have a King Ralphesque ascendency to Dukedom, and Regal must give them etiquette and decorum lessons. Along the way Regal picks up Nastyisms the same way normies in Pauly Shore movies start talking about munching on grindage. Laughs abound. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'll have to watch the rest of the show later on demand because I forgot it was on. But I caught the main event. Aldis was a good enough third man for the match for his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 But seriously, Tim Storm would have been a legit great reveal in that spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of a Reverse My Fair Lady where Knobbs and Saggs take Regal in and attempt to turn him into the Nastiest Boy. Instead of "The Rain in Spain" the big setpiece is Regal singing: Edited November 28, 2022 by Sammo~! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 If the NFL doesn’t work out for this guy, there’s always room for people with no regard for their well-being in pro wrestling A 6’2/300lb guy who wouldn’t see the downside to using the diving headbutt as a finish. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I kinda wish he had did Psycho cause the dude is talking about owning a bus and a skeleton playing on a cello.

The actual answer is they should have flown in Tenzan. He's used to working meaningless multi-man tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just drew Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 20 hours ago, tbarrie said: Oh, he's absolutely that. Road Dogg sucked. But the Cody tweet you were referencing didn't talk about talent, it talked about drawing and being memorable. I'm quite confident that quite a few people left arenas remembering the New Age Outlaws' act, and as I said, I'd even go so far as to call them a second-tier draw. In other words, you or I may not have much respect for the way he got over, but one can't deny that he was in fact extremely over at one point. 1000% this. As someone who was square ass in the middle of WWE's target demographic during that time, Road Dogg was over as hell. It wasn't just the catchphrase. Dude could cut a promo. I'd dare say after Austin, Rock, and Foley, he might've been the most dynamic promo in the company for a time. I don't recall him being an overtly bad worker, either. He just didn't do a whole lot other than the "shake rattle & roll" punches, the pump-handle slam, and a few other generic things. Guy was a) pretty pilled up at that point and b) smart enough to know what got him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I don't read any of them, but my sense is Meltzer gets something wrong and then 1000 clickbait dirtsheets/Twitter accounts/FB pages post his mistake as <siren>BREAKING<siren> news because all they do is steal shit from him, and it spirals from there 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We could probably generate our own fresh anti-Meltzer takes rather than importing what 115-follower Donnie thinks. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
