Matt D Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So in Chicago next week, I think Batista should come out to Cult of Personality, but he is interrupted by Randy Orton coming out to This Fire Burns. It was his music originally anyway. Maybe Stephanie can come out to that AFI song while we are at it. Vic, I know you think this is a terrible idea, and it probably is. I just want to see HHH's troll face. Corey. Graves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Watching Wrestlemania I right now and I'm now convinced Mr. T is the best celebrity wrestler ever. He by know means was great, but he seems more competent than most people give him credit for. I'm a little younger than most here, but I got turned on to watching old tapes as a kid because the video store near me had a HUGE wrestling section. So since the A-Team was on well before I was born, I really had no idea that Mr. T. was known for anything besides WM I and the handful of WCW appearances he made for the longest time. I figured he was just another WWF star in semi-retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He by know means was great, but he seems more competent than most people give him credit for. His matches with Piper and Kevin Sullivan say otherwise. The Sullivan match is not that bad. I would not say its good, but entertaining for Sullivan treating T like a TBS jobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So Mr. T or Lawrence Taylor are basically the top 2 piks unless you count Alex Karras I guess James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Floyd Mayweather was in the best celebrity match ever, so he probably deserves consideration for best celeb wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADCAP Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'd throw in Kevin Greene and Karl Malone as well. I forgot about the Sullivan match. I was really speaking on the Mania match. For a debut and with the whole world watching, he worked well. It helped that Orndorff kept him on the mat and Piper being Piper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonL21 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I always said that Kevin Federline and Floyd Mayweather are in a class of their own as far as celebrity wrestlers go. They went above and beyond and delivered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubbymark Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Watching Wrestlemania I right now and I'm now convinced Mr. T is the best celebrity wrestler ever. He by know means was great, but he seems more competent than most people give him credit for. His movements were very crisp and realistic. Him and Piper in the amateur takedown stuff seemed like legit struggles. Mr. T's bodyslams and hip tosses were very sound in that match as well. I'll have to rewatch Lawrence Taylor/Bam Bam to see how that comparison holds up, but Mr. T held his own. Had T/Piper been in Mid-South or NWA/Crockett, I can just imagine the hate-filled brawls they could have had. Just imagining them in a cage instead of the crappy boxing match from Mania 2 would be insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooks Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've always thought that if Kevin Greene had trained full time, he would have been a pretty solid wrestler with great babyface fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Would a lizard people gimmick work in the WWE? Needs a paranoid face (Eric Young would be perfect) start making accusations of collusion between random people backstage, and of an underworld uprising/conspiracy. Slowly it turns out that he's right, and the commentators start to hint at them being possibly of the lizard person persuasion. It'd be a nice rehash of the new world order rehash if nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valcourt Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Do we have any image ninjas in here that can take the background off this pic (the white area) so I can put it in another photo for a joke in my office?

jaedmc Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Alright. This is the last thing I'm going to post about March Madness here, before I do the brackets tomorrow. Should I even bother putting Davey in? There's a couple of super-indy guys that I don't think will even get a handfull of votes, and I'd rather just give it to a Lucha or Japanese guy, or hell even a midcard WWE guy that deserves it. ARe there any super-indy guys that have to be in? I know it's been tradition to have Davey get his ass beat in the first round, but with me including global guys as opposed to medium leveled filler from America, I feel kind of bad leaving some people out.

Dewar Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If you don't think he's one of the top 64, leave him out. Can't wait for the brackets to go up, so you asshats can cost me the March Madness pool again this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think Steen and Elgin could win matchups depending who they were against. Cole is probably deserving too. But I can't say I'd miss any of them if they weren't in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I still say yes, Davey vs. Miz (or Mr. Anderson) in the first round. It'll be martial law in that topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
