"Hey Jasmin - I got a great idea. Let Rhino give you this move"

And we talked about who would be crazy about letting Scott Steiner give them the Steiner Squaredriver...

 

Oh and "GORE! GORE! GORE!"

Eat The Soap Match???

 

 

EDIT - Yeah, when we eventually do the WWE ridiculous matches thread... this is going to go in it. No DQ only for Rhyno along with the soap thing

I'll never understand the ECW audience and attitude era pops for giant guys beating the shit out of tiny women. Besides that, I've generally found his act entertaining enough.

In defense of the Piledriver. Jasmin is a porn star who's been jizzed on, pissed on, shitted on, and twice had the Guinness world record of "Biggest gang bang ever". So it's not like she's ever done anything reckless before.

RHINO IS FUCKING AWESOME.

 

His matches with Harry Smith were great. His matches with Sandman were some of Sandy's best. I think what I loved about Rhino is that he had this mix of power and psychotics. Shit sometimes he'd actually try and out smart his opponent.

 

This is a fun one:

I think Rhino was in more danger having his face that close to Jasmine crotch. I hope he dipped his face in acid after the show.

I loved his ECW promos because he really seemed like a snarling maniac.

I thought Rhino was a good wrestler who was unfairly slagged in his later years. His stuff looked good and he timed it well. I finally figured out it was Rhino who Big E. Langston reminded me of.

I like guys with flash finishers so I had no problems with Rhino's moveset.

 

It did bother me how a guy with such awesomely curly long hair could be considered to be a badsass.

 

Samoa Joe also suffered from the Rhino Factor during the monster heel run.   You are an unstoppable bonecrusher but you have frosted ends and perfect hairline edges?  Really?

There are a handful of WCW matches he worked as a jobber where he looks and sells much more like a young Joseph Park than a young Rhino, it's pretty funny to see.

never cared for Rhyno, he failed everywhere he worked except ecw imo 

 

He was TNA champion, wasn't he?

 

 

Yes - though technically it was the NWA Title as it was in the period when the NWA and TNA had the working relationship.

 

He was champ for 2 days as he won it at Bound For Glory 2005 and lost it 2 days later at the TV Tapings (which aired about 10 days after BFG)

Rhyno was/is fucking awesome. Just an intense mother fucker whose moves look like they would hurt. I want him back on WWE television right now. I don't need 35 minute epics, or 10 minute promos, I want to see him break Tyson Kidd in half, then yell at the cameraman for about 45 seconds, then leave.

I was thinking that the other day actually. Give him a 6 month run, have guys like Ziggler eat the Gore and then build to a battle of awesome spears vs. Reigns. The two could both go for it at the same time, butt heads and the ring could collapse.

Big E Langston would probably be the better guy to pair him up with since the short squat guys wouldn't look as visually awkward as Reigns towering over Rhyno.

 

That being said - I would enjoy all sorts of matches

Rhino is the one "before he was famous" guy I got to see lots.  Saw him work dozens of indy matches here in suburban Detroit.  He was known as Rhino Richards then and once Chyna hit it big in the WWF he always got Chyna chants from the crowd.  They did have similar jawlines.  He once called my cousin a "fucking cocksucker" for chanting Chyna at him.  It was sweet as fuck.
