I remember reading something years ago about Raven having a bisexual relationship with Stevie Richards at some point, and possibly with other male wrestlers. Does any of that have any backing in reality or was I just reading it off some Rajah-esque site?

All I can picture when I read that is Dixie Carter writing Raven-Richards gay fanfic

I imagine rumors got started because Raven was paying Stevie to run errands and stuff for him in ECW (because Raven was too drunk and high to get anything done), but I've never heard them from anyone who wasn't a terrible smark wrestling "journalist."

This is kind of an obscure example, but Phil Hickerson was repackaged in one of the territories as P.Y. Chu-Hi, an evil Viet Cong soldier, and it got over. Also one could argue that Col. DeBeers was sort of an ethnic gimmick.

Not saying any of the rumors are true, but they do seem to line up.

Has anyone used TEW2010? Is it any good? I like wrestling sims, but there always seemed to be enough broken in each TEW for me to stop bothering to play after a few months with each one.

TEW10 is awesome, and really the best wrestling sim ever made in that line of games. So yes.

How many foreigners have been in WWE that have not had a whole character built around their ethnicity (or a more recognisable ethnicity that they might pass for)? Because Drew McIntyre and Kofi (V2.0) are the only ones I can think of right now.

Did Shannon Moore fail a pot test or piss someone off in the locker room or something during his time on WWE's ECW brand? Because I can't imagine his time there was anything other than punishment.

DannoMack posted:Did Shannon Moore fail a pot test or piss someone off in the locker room or something during his time on WWE's ECW brand? Because I can't imagine his time there was anything other than punishment. He and Yang ended up getting over pretty good as a tag team primarily against Miz and Morrison (I forget if they were on Smackdown or ECW at this point). Then Yang failed a wellness test, reportedly for extacy of all things, and Moore ended up released soon after. Moore's initial ECW push fizzled when fans were riding him at an ECW house show and he got on the mic and said he wasn't wrestling for the internet. That immediately led to a bizarre promo on ECW where he said "I'm the prince of Punk, and I'm bringing sexy back." Then Punk called him a poser and slapped him, then beat him in matches repeatedly. Moore is in the Hardy fucktard stable, along with Helms and the Hardy brothers who wind up getting themselves in trouble by running their mouths or just acting like backwoods morons.

To be fair though Raven did have a threesome with Sandman. That'd probably be enough to turn anyone straight afterwards.

It didn't fizzle, Moore was outright punished for his fit at the house show. It convinced people that he was unprofessional and immature so the punished him by making him do a promo that killed any momentum and bumping him back to the bottom of the card. CombineThresher posted:This is kind of an obscure example, but Phil Hickerson was repackaged in one of the territories as P.Y. Chu-Hi, an evil Viet Cong soldier, and it got over. From what I've read, it wasn't a Viet Cong gimmick. It was an Akeem-style repackaging where they pretended Hickerson had learned martial arts. DeBeers is an ethnic gimmick that fits the question, he was a South African white supremacist portrayed by a schoolteacher from Minnesota. Endorph posted:Define "built around their ethnicity." Sheamus is borderline. Finlay, however, is a complete stereotype.

Considering they're a bunch of obnoxious cocks who ALWAYS cheer the heels, why do the ROH fans HATE Chris Hero so much? He draws the most heat in ROH at the moment.

The only time he really gets booed is on TV where the kids boo the heels.

But it seems now they're willing to not make people into racial stereotypes - the Sheamus/Finlay comparison being about the best example. Piper/Drew is another - Drew is still Scottish, but he's not the loving Highlanders (although I did quite like the Highlanders).

But to be more specific, I shouldn't say everyone give him face reactions, but at the average ROH show he gets 40% of the crowd chanting gently caress YOU HERO and 60% chanting LETS GO HERO or KINGS OF WRESTLING.

The crowd being 70-30 for Hero is basically the result of a million different solutions being attempted over the course of 4 years.
