mattdangerously Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah, New Jack might have been the best ECW promo outside of Austin and Foley. Let's face it, he really didn't have much else going for him besides that and his willingness to jump off of high places. Shane Douglas was a damn great promo, as long as don't mind the shooty inside stuff. Yeah, but Douglas's promos were 75% shooty inside stuff. I've been watching a lot of 96 ECW lately, and Douglas will not shut the fuck up about the damn Kliq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that it is simply more cost-effective to do a TV taping the day after the PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Glorious. --Iron Sheik was in Toronto for the premiere of his documentary and claimed mayor Rob Ford had scheduled a meeting with him. Ford denied there was any meeting scheduled and no-showed. Olivia Chow, who is running in the next mayoral election, ended up meeting Iron Sheik and got his all-important endorsement http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/04/28/matt-gurney-olivia-chow-meets-with-is-endorsed-by-ranting-homophobe-who-encourages-rape/ Olivia Chow meets with, is endorsed by, ranting homophobe who encourages rape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I meant. If you hate shooty inside stuff, then you won't like Shane's promo work, but he was doing it as well or better than anyone else ever.

odessasteps Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 One of my favorite lines ever in the observer was after Shane said he would franchise ric flair's ass, dave said "is shane going to open a chain of restaurants across the country called RIC FLAIRS ASS"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It's easy to shit on Shane's insider stuff, in hindsight. But back then, it was cutting edge stuff. The bulk of ECW's base were smarks, remember? I bet in 20 years some dood on a board will be lamenting how uncool and blah the Yes Movement was lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you" is the fucking best catch phrase.You know, for years, that phrase has never really sense to me. If I can beat you, then clearly I survived, so does that mean if I beat you, you'll be so pissed that you might not let me survive? Well, then, who's a sore loser?I used to think that, if it were actually TWO separate sentences, then maybe each independent declaration existed on its own. But nooo ...

Craig H Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You're thinking about it way too much. Also awesome: "I don't need no weapons...My hands are my weapons." What was great about Taz was that he was booked as a suplex throwing ass kicker and he did it extraordinarily well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you" is the fucking best catch phrase.Maybe my favorite promo ever is Taz after he took out Sabu for Douglas only to take the title shot. It was in NYC and the crowd went apeshit. Taz said beat me if you can and the crowd finished. Dropped the mic and walked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
