Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I can't remember if it was while he was the Big Shot but I remember him trying to get "How do ya like me now?" over as a catch phrase, bless his heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I can't remember if it was while he was the Big Shot but I remember him trying to get "How do ya like me now?" over as a catch phrase, bless his heart They even put him saying that at the beginning of his entrance music. It was great because I knew exactly when to change the channel, go to the bathroom, or get a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 My main take away from when they did that segment was how double-awful it made their current announce team seem Can't really argue with this. My question would be, who should replace them? I think out of their available personnel, the best combo would be Cole, Regal, and Renee Young. Sadly Regal doesn't appear to be interested (can't imagine why else they would've taken him out of the booth in NXT), and Renee is stuck on host duty. She showed some promise in her limited NXT work, and I can't imagine giving her a chance to sharpen her skills on SD is a worse use of an announcer spot than throwing Jimmy Uso out there every week. Graves would be fine if he wasn't over-directed. He was great on NXT Kids, but it's tough to imagine him not becoming JBL v.2 on the main shows.

Cristobal Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I think since his neck fusion surgery, Regal has not been in love with lots of talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Still better than naming his finisher the Hollycaust Okay, so I'm *NOT* insane when I remember them using that name for like 2 weeks for the Falcon Arrow It even got called that in at least one of the video games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Did everyone know that Dick Togo started a wrestling school in Vietnam? https://www.facebook.com/New-Vietnam-Prowrestling-647296858737368/timeline/ I read something about it a few months ago but I figured it was discussed at some point on this board so I never brought it up.

Curt McGirt Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 If Dick is as good a trainer as he is a wrestler, it'll be a treat to see who comes out of his camp and gets shipped overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever seen any Dreamers stuff, he helped train, most if not all, those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Still better than naming his finisher the Hollycaust Okay, so I'm *NOT* insane when I remember them using that name for like 2 weeks for the Falcon Arrow IIRC, Holly said in his book that he didn't get the holocaust reference until after later on, when someone explained it to him. Um... yeah. Supposedly, the name was Russo's idea. Holly hated using the falcon arrow regardless of what they called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um... yeah. Supposedly, the name was Russo's idea. Holly hated using the falcon arrow regardless of what they called it. He said he read a few books on the subject and that's why he thought it'd be offensive. But like you said, he hated the Falcon Arrow and thought of the Alabama Slam while watching a match where someone did the usual up and under corner spot. He thought it'd be cool to catch the person jumping over him and whip them to the mat and that's how the Alabama Slam was born. Vince wanted to call it the Alabama Slammer but Holly wanted the Alabama Slam. Holly said the announcers just called it the Alabama Slam so it worked out.

SirSmUgly Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 That was like a seventeen-minute-long live-action Homestar Runner skit, so of course I absolutely loved it. New Day is like black millennial DX at this point, so I'm sure for some people, that video will be too much, but I am in that exact cultural demo, so I welcome more super-long videos of these guys acting like jackasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Also the time Holly and Billy Gunn teamed for a few weeks and their finish was "the Gunn Holly Bomb." GHB for short. Charming. It's still better then when he teamed up with the other Gunn brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Two pages back now, but Crash's Styles Clash was called the Crash Landing. Also, WWE's 2015 is about to get worse because Cena is gone from Hell in a Cell until at earliest December 30 for personal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Vince coming out to "Obsession" was the absolute best, favorite part of that whole show. I was surprised they even used it, such a great little detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
