it freaking sucks that you all didn't vote for the monthly world champion and now the poll no longer happens ever again. that was probably the funnest thing of my life to look at every day and you didn't care about the creator or runner. you only cared about the wwe universe.

It's rough because Cheerleader Melissa in an Arab panic gimmick is probably more offensive than anything on that Raw but Christian vs AJ would be leaps and bounds the best match on either show

Cheerleader Melissa in an Arab panic gimmick and Sheik Abdul Bashir with the plane crashing sound which was the stinger for his theme.

I don’t think she ever appeared as Cheerleader Melissa but she wrestled as Alissa Flash a couple of times

at one point there was a Knockouts title tournament with both of her gimmicks included

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



I'll always remember the D'Lo one-off because it was my first full year of watching wrestling since starting in late 07 and it was the first time I had seen him. I couldn't even watch Raw at the time due to time zone differences so I'd read all the recaps of the show on TheWrestlingFan and watch whatever clips they'd post on WWE.com using their lovely video player. I remember they even made a new titantron for him with the stock text they loved to use for everyone at the time and uploaded it to the site and then just...never used him again. It was very strange. It did lead me down a rabbit hole to discover that D'Lo owned, though.

They re-signed Dlo, Henry Godwin and 2 Cold all around the same time but Dlo was the only one who made tv. I think the others were just signed for developmental territories.

the oppressed dictator run was one of about 3 separate working agreements he had with tna/impact, but was the only long-term one and that started about 5 years before the santino match in wwe

A guy I worked with got in trouble for saying D’Lo Brown was a ‘human bobblehead’ on the company IM because ‘bobblehead’ got picked up by some word filter as a racial slur

I think that’s the last time I thought about D’Lo Brown until today

It was around 2007 or so, so he would have had his flash funk run by then.

Actually she did have a single random match against Daizee Haze as Cheerleader Melissa in mid-2008. Might have been the episode where Cornette introduced the Deuces Wild Tournament and the Egotistical Eight.

that was my first thought too, he's so much better than that

oh well - apparently he had a gap in his schedule and it must have been decent pay

edit: then again for every band of brothers and justified it seems like he has two or three straight to dvd or streaming turds so get that money I guess

When you get Neal McDonough to play M. Bison for your awful Chun Li movie, who are you to tell him he can't play Bison as Irish. From what I've heard, the movie is chock-full with bizarre performances like that, like the director gave everybody a Macho Man Promo amount of cocaine and had them brainstorm their ideas for their characters.

For some reason Vega was acting like he's actually super ugly and that's why he wears the mask which is counter to his characterization in every other Street Fighter property.

Hirez posted:

The only roles Neal turns down are ones where he has to kiss another woman, because apparently simulating murder is fine buy simulating affection is an affront to his religion.

(I'm being slightly unfair, if an actor isn't comfortable doing something then they shouldn't have to, whether it's an old man kissing on screen or a young woman asked to get her breasts out on screen. But Neal did complain a out being blacklisted after 2010 because of it, and 1 year later he was in a Marvel movie which stretches credulity somewhat)
