The Nature Boy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 The time for the casino owner gimmick would've been after the heel turn at SummerSlam 1994. They squandered so much with that, it's ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 unfortunate that they never went with the "Native American Casino owner Tatanka" gimmick idea that was proposed once in 2005-ish A thousand times yes! I picture it like the Wamapoke chief from Parks and Rec, which would've been glorious Or a mobbed-up casino owner, like in Jason Aaron's Scalped book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've brought this idea up before here, probably on multiple occasions, but dammit, it's my crowning Fantasy Booking~! moment: A stable of Tatankas, all from different ethnic backgrounds: African-American Tatanka Italian-American Tatanka Asian-American Tatanka, etc. That's gold, Jerry! Gold! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Would that lead to "other" Tatanka? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Went to the CZW "Best of the Best 14" last night - really outstanding card, well booked and solid if a tad long (people love to talk on the mic). Many excellent workers including Andrew Everett, Buxx Belmar (my boy), Tommy End, Jonathan Gresham (this guy is amazing, why have I not heard of him before (practice that mist blowing, kid)?), "Speedball" Mike Bailey (great underdog babyface) and CJP[arker] (who played the crowd like a fine violin, really the MVP here). Well done. Nick Gage returned to CZW, never in my life have I heard such a stream of unending profanity and the marks loved it, Jeebus loves you New Jersey. Nothing exceeds like excess! - saddened but not shacked, RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Please tell me Nick Gage turned babyface because Bobby Heenan forgot about him and never visited while he was in prison. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I've brought this idea up before here, probably on multiple occasions, but dammit, it's my crowning Fantasy Booking~! moment: A stable of Tatankas, all from different ethnic backgrounds: African-American Tatanka Italian-American Tatanka Asian-American Tatanka, etc. That's gold, Jerry! Gold! Fantasy booking is a very necessary mental exercise. I always wanted V1 Matt Hardy to change his name to V8 Matt Vegetables. His theme song would remain unchanged except for the lyrics, which would begin instead with "I can eat a tomato / I like carrots and peas". He would be skinny and this would anger his brother, who would get really fat and change his name to Jeff Boy-Hardee. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The time for the casino owner gimmick would've been after the heel turn at SummerSlam 1994. They squandered so much with that, it's ridiculous. Yup, I'd have still had him managed by Dibiase but I would have changed his outfit to mimic Million Dollar Man's too to signify a complete change. Maybe had Dibiase bank roll the whole thing. But that's way too real-world for mid-nineties WWF... although saying that every other wrestler had 'real world' jobs too soooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonL21 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 This is interesting. As part of a lawsuit, the WWE included its schedule through March 2016. It's interesting that city grades, arena capacities, and attendance over the past year and a half are included. http://indeedwrestling.blogspot.com/2015/04/wwe-schedule-april-2015-march-2016.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a couple of years under his belt here, but dude is improving at a rapid pace and has charisma to spare. Look up Manny Garcia on youtube and check him out. Saw Uhaa in there, and dude in the middle is fucking massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
