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.

I'm fine with shooty inside stuff as long as it's done well. Shane did that so well.

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

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.

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.

"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 ...

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.

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.

I bet you try to parse meaning from Ultimate Warrior promos, too.

Will you provide sentence diagrams of famous pro wrestling catchphrases? I'd like to know the hidden meaning of "You either love it or you don't love it but it's the best thing going today."

If you beat me, you beat me because you could... but the reason you had the chance to beat me is because I let you survive.

 

Also, it's possible that you could beat me (say, 1% chance)...  but I decided not to let you survive.

1) He had a genie helping him, 2) He was only an Major, not an Admiral
