Yeah DDP as Sarah Callaway's stalker, and looking like a loser throughout, was done because Taker thought he couldn't work (which wasn't an unpopular opinion on DDP at the time because he liked to pre-plan his matches meticulously and took some bumps in an unorthodox manner) I'm positive the Red Rooster wasn't a rib or any attempt to sabotage Taylor's career, though. Vince is just crazy and thought it would get over -- WWF actually planted Rooster fans ("Rooster Boosters") in crowds in an attempt to raise support for the character.

The Rooster and The Dragon didn't seem like burials as much as they were just McMahon making cartoon characters as was his wont. Of course I could be wrong. Another question: With all this talk about Tater Tots, are there any prominent examples of a worker trying to get a chant over and failing? Because I swear fans will chant anything.

which chris jericho is generally looked back on with more fondness, WCW jericho or WWE jericho? if you had to introduce someone to his body of work, what would be the reference point? with that being said, what's the general consensus of him on this forum? I get mixed messages on him being good or bad

In-ring his cruiserweight WCW stuff is the best of his career but on the other hand his 2008 feud with Michaels was his best feud. Jericho is really solid in the ring and on the mic but he's a drunk dad in his forties who wants to pretend he's a rockstar.

Rookie here who's been watching Raw for the last month. Does Smackdown feature the same roster as well or is it a different cast of characters? I keep forgetting Smackdown exists and will be disappointed if I've deprived myself an end of week fix of The New Day.

There used to be a brand split that had different wrestlers on the two shows (sometimes with crossover) but they ended that a few years back.

He had some really good promos in his feud with Stephanie's boob job and his WWE debut was kind of amazing but everything in between was kind of bad. You really kind of have to start with WCW for the ring work, but his character / promo work was really good when he hit his stride in WWE in like 2002 or 2003.

Perry Saturn getting Moppy but that ended up putting him over... Wasn't the New Day created to punish Big E and Kofi for something, I swear I heard that on B&V or something way back.

R-Truth's replacing "What's Up" with "Get Krunk." They tried to get fans to chant "CREEPY LITTLE BASTARD!" at Christian to the point of having Austin lead the crowd and it didn't work. Edge's brief and disastrous face run where he tried to make "SPEAR... SPEAR... SPEAR..." a thing. When Chris Jericho came back from being gone several years, he did this thing where he tried to get the crowd chanting "Me want title match!" but screwed up the rhythm, so it didn't take.

His character/promo work was pretty good in WCW once he turned heel. His feud with Malenko was one of my favorite things happening on either show when it was going on.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat was made an actual dragon for a while, because Vince can't leave well enough alone. Didn't they basically tell him they had to fire him due to outside pressure (Mattel) and would rehire him after a couple months when everything died down? Then again I could see Vince saying that and *also* being annoyed that Bryan didn't care.

The way I've heard it told here was that Vince was actually pretty impressed that Bryan just rolled with it in saying the the WWE exposure would keep him pretty well paid in the indies.

rotinaj posted:Have the Bella Twins ever done anything good and cool in pro wrestling? I can't remember any times they were enjoyable, just bad matches and awful segments with worse acting. Brie had a shockingly good match with Stephanie McMahon at Summerslam 14. The Bella feud that followed was loving atrocious though.

I think it had mostly died down by the tie incident but there was also some issue with Bryan in NXT because of the "YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR FUCKIN' HEAD KICKED IN" chant that followed him from the indies.
