cool arrow Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Did any of the Legion of Demolition tag matches (Animal and Crush) ever get televised, or were they just European house shows when Hawk went AWOL? The latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I loved Kronik in WCW. Both Adams and Clark had great looks and they had some beastly moves. And the 'mercenary' gimmick was fun too. You mean "the APA's gimmick, only not as fun?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Although credit to Bryan, at least he can develop his character and doesn't still act like its summer 2011 when non-stop shooting was "so kewl!" Bryan's character? I'm not about go all March Madness in here, but saying YES a bunch seems a little simpler than what Punk is asked to do. Could you get 4 months out of Bryan vs Heyman and Axel? I don't think so. Did you get four months of fresh TV out of Heyman/Punk? I thought it was mostly just two guys going around in circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Right, which is sort of my point. There was literally nothing to it besides Punk promo one week, Heyman the next. They threw Punk and Heyman out there with a broomstick and asked them for 4 months. They wouldn't even try that with Bryan... or anyone other than Punk or Cena. They use those two as a crutch to prop up shitty stories. They use Bryan to fill 20 minutes in the ring. Different responsibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelemania Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The craziest part about the Luger Change or as I call it The Lugering, is that Luger was shown on TV LITERALLY THE DAY BEFORE as the Narcissist. While the show was taped way in advance, for the audience the Lugering happened literally over night. Kona Crush was clearly an experiment to create a kid friendly Hulk Clone, but it wasn't clicking nationally like I mentioned. Only in different territories brother. So of course after they turned Luger they took Crush and put him against Yoko on RAW, and had Crush get stretchered out - and then put all the heat on Luger to avenge him. This might be the greatest paragraph these eyes have ever seen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think WWE would have been better off if they never signed Luger and instead had Krush bodyslam Yokozuna on the aircraft carrier. Supposedly Krush had been talking backstage about how he was going to shoot slam Yokozuna but the powers that be had been very strict that if anyone who participated in it tried something like that they'd be fired.

A Guy Named Tracy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 My soccer gimmick is based on him taking dives and asking for yellow cards. And of course, not using his hands. No way. He needs to steal the Great Power Uti's gimmick and pull out the red card. "You're going DOWN!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Soccer refs are just as blind as WWE refs, so the transition should be seemless. The WWE authority isn't quite as effectively corrupt as FIFA though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorceressKnight Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 You need to stop projecting yoru own feelings about Punk onto other people, as it is clear that he's one of the most popular guys in wrestling, and has been for the last half decade or so. You might think that he is a whiny asshole who relies too much on shooty comments, and you might be right about that, but the perception a whole bunch of people have of him is obviously very different. People can obviously relate to him in a very real, non-manufactured way, and it's pretty clear why that is. But the problem is- even if he is popular, the fact that Punk is too shooty is his fatal flaw to keep him from being THE MAN in WWE. I am a Punk fan- but CM Punk is the type of babyface who makes his name by preaching to the choir, not converting the masses who aren't watching. During the time when he became "Voice of the Smarks, er, Voiceless", it's the type of gimmick where a person who's already a WWE fan would love it [especially if they're already IWC]...but could you imagine having this conversation with a non-fan about Punk right after the pipebomb: Fan: "I know, I know, but trust me. You HAVE to turn on Raw!" Non-Fan: "But Raw's sucked- why should I?" Fan: "It's different now, I swear! They have this guy CM Punk that you have to see in action! You'll be a fan again in no time!" Non-Fan: "What makes him so good?" Fan: "Well, get this- you thought the show sucked? Well, Monday CM Punk talked about how much WWE television sucks! It's awesome!" Non-Fan: "Well, if he's good...uh...okay..." Fan: "But that's the best part. See- in a few weeks his contract's going to expire! He's going to leave the WWE for good as its champion!" Non-Fan: "...so, let me get this straight. You're telling me to watch Raw now...because WWE TV sucks...and this one guy is telling us how and why it sucks so bad...and in a few weeks he'll be off WWE programming as WWE Champion, so now the show will still suck, and it's going to lose its most entertaining character, who is also taking away the thing everyone's fighting for- so on and offscreen WWE loses their best guy, and is left with a show we're told sucks?" Fan: "Yeah! It's awesome, right?" Non-Fan: "...yeah, no..." , 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
