jayhawk_in_cny Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Cole would have made a great heel manager, but he was overexposed by being a constant presence on TV. I would have loved to have seen Cole as a Heenan-esque heel manager, who occasionally does commentary. I agree with those who said that having him on constantly as a heel announcer was a disaster.

Patrick B. Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If I had to choose between heel Cole and SCUM-era Steve Corino...I'd choose to gouge out my eardrums with rusty metal hooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJ Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It sounds like we have a Cole Miner in our ranks!! As horrible as heel Cole was, in retrospect it's pretty funny that it was in essence one long Vince tirade against vegetarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy Me a Burrito Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just watched Rusev on last night's Raw and dear lord he's incredible. I know Rikishi trained him, but has he trained anyone else? I just wonder how much of what Rusev does is because he gets it and is a natural and how much is just really good training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 So, I've been watching ROH TV the last couple weeks and am totally in awe of Dalton Castle's entrance, it's my favourite thing since the first time Adam Rose did his entrance (with the better music/timing) in NXT. Unfortunately, this week's appearance isn't up on Youtube, but there's a vid from February on a crappy cellphone cam. The whole segment from this past week was even better, he was a little more confident in the role. Then he got his two "boys" (that's what he calls them!) to kneel down in the ring and act as his chair, and he sat and made fun of Jay Lethal. In the ring, he's pretty raw (his punches need some work, as well as his timing), but he's got a style that's completely antithetical to his gimmick: amateur wrestling throws and holds, including a wonderful deadlift german suplex, that somehow totally works. I love this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, we've been singing his praises in the ROH thread. I need to see more of Dalton, that's for sure. As it is he might be my only reason for seeing his stuff in CHIKARA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Vince McMahon: GANGSTER, PIMP, GODFATHER. Except I'm pretty sure he didn't get Brock discounted. And NOW they got a bit of a quandry, because every decision leading to this point was defending against what would happen if he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It was probably excessive for Brock to sign his new deal over the bodies of the men he crushed, but you gotta get Brock any way you can 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I still think the match will suck and Reigns shouldn't be in the position he's in so Brock signing doesn't really budge me into anticipation for what will be a shitty match, however the winner must be up in the air completely now.

Vgmastr Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The problem with Heel Cole was he didn't know how to get the talent over while maintaining his character. Cole was getting himself over at the expense of the talent in the ring, which is the exact opposite of what should be happening. I remember one instance when the Hart Dynasty were the Tag Champs and sitting in on commentary and totally bombing. Instead of throwing them a rope like a talented commentator would have done Cole used it to get himself over and just went on and on about how terrible they were.

Ramsey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Brock has to win. If they really want Roman to someday be "the man," losing to the Beast Incarnate but looking strong in defeat does WAY more to help build him organically. But this is Vince we're talking about so Roman wins and he celebrates by lighting an ROH banner on fire, announcing Rock vs. Lesnar for Mania's 32, 33, and 34, and shaving Bryan's beard while forcing Cesaro to join the Kiss My Ass Club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
