A few friends and I went to a house show in Kentucky for TNA a while back. At the show, one of my friends went up to Borash and introduced himself saying "JB! Remember me?! It's me, James!" in his best redneck voice.

It was a few years ago but when one guy called him a loving idiot and dave got pissed off and said "you better be sure you're right before you call someone a loving idiot" was worth the monthly subscription.

I guess you're right, that was a pretty long time ago, but his look is just so douchey I can't help but want to punch him in the face. He's a natural heel. He'd have to get rid of the fauxhawk and learn how to work the mic much better than city-name sports-team type of heat to be able to work well as a face. None of his in-ring moves are particularly flashy or exciting except for that corner clothesline, which makes him more suited to working as a heel. Basically he would have to change everything about himself, including his in-ring style, to work as a face and I don't really see that happening.

Could you see him as a Randy Orton type of babyface, a totally dominating face who destroys his opponents?

Could you realistically see him as a CM Punk type babyface, the cool anti-hero who makes snarky comments but can totally back it up in the ring?

What would his character even be like as a face?

On the other hand, you were right, as a heel he was over as gently caress last year. All they have to do to make him credible is not book him like a complete joke and afterthought. Apparently though someone backstage doesn't want that to happen and we get him in his current form.

Say you were in a room and there was a brownie on the other side that you wanted to get to. There are three different doors. In one is CM Punk, in another is Alberto Del Rio, and in another is The Miz. Who do you fight to get to the brownie?

I watched quite a few Smoky Mountain episodes, and after reading the Retro Observer I got all :smith:

I was live at a couple of those. :smith:

Then, one story later, Big Dave gets all Big Davey. :allears:

quote:

The show opened with one of the weirdest interviews probably in wrestling history. Hulk Hogan, Sting and Savage came out. First Hogan dumped his black wrestling attire in a burning garbage can. He then went off on a tangent about "rag sheets" which is a term those in the business unfamiliar with how the real world operates refer to newsletters such as this (as if this newsletter should be put in a grouping with anything else). Hogan threw a tantrum about a report that said The Giant was going to win the Battle Royal (which couldn't have even come from here because the last thing we wrote on the subject was that Sting or Savage were the best bets to win) and how they were wrong, which pretty well tipped everyone off that the Giant wasn't going to win. He also said it was reported Savage wouldn't be in the show because of an arm injury (it had been known for weeks here that Savage was going to eschew surgery and work the Battle Royal). He then said that the Savage arm injury was a total swerve on everyone including the wrestlers in the dressing room and that Savage's arm was fine (Savage had legitimately torn his tricep and his left arm was barely half the size of the right). Even weirder was even if the injury wasn't real, the major storyline of the show is that Savage had an arm injury and the announcers never acknowledged Hogan's saying Savage's arm was fine. He then threw the "rag sheet" in the same burning garbage can saying "Observe this," and said that it was a dinosaur and that the internet is the real story. I suspect as his popularity and drawing power continues to drop he'll get even more bitter. Since it appeared to be directed at me, I took it as a tremendous compliment.

Wrestlemania Observer is up and I lost it at this point.

quote:

Devitt was tremendous as a heel immediately, and came off the top rope onto Taguchi with a double foot stomp. Fale then nailed Captain with either a clothesline punch or maybe the old Oriental tool punch. Devitt then unmasked Captain, and put Captain’s mask into his trunks and down his butt.

Devitt then said, “No More Apollo 55. No more Mr. Nice Guy.” He then said, “Say hello to my bouncer, Bad Luck Fale.” Fale then carried Devitt from the ring on his shoulders, while Devitt put Captain’s mask on while Captain laid in the ring trying to cover his face. If he was going to put the mask on his face, I don’t exactly see the upside to sticking it in his butt first, but to each his own.

10-Count question: Is there anything in an explicit "non-comedy" skit that was relatively minor that you've found just completely hilarious even when other people didn't? Good examples would be Edge calling the people of Spokane "big fat failure turtles" or Emma tripping over the set during an NXT interview segment two weeks ago. I was just thinking of Vince's ringtone and it made me laugh in public.
