Well it sounds like Brock carried himself well, when he's not bashing wrestling and not ignoring signing people autographs because there wrestling memorabilia, he seems like a nice guy
Subtemperate
....And not causing trouble on a plane lol

For a guy trying to ESCAPE the limilight, maybe being a prefessional wrestler trying out for the NFL was the wrong way to go......

snuffypuffer
hmm, Hassan vs Benjamin... I like this idea. grin2.gif
Subtemperate
The biggest Minority vs Minority match in WWE history....lol

I said it first disgust.gif

but they could have an ethnic stereotype Battle Royal tongue.gif
Subtemperate
Tajiri vs Benjamin vs Hassan vs Sargent Slaughter...... lol

Three of those four wouldnt be bad actually...
AtticusBlueprint
Don't forget Kenzo, Funaki, William Regal, La Resistance, Rene Dupree, and maybe Eddie G
Subtemperate
True, I did forget about smackdown, and I purposely forget La Resistance..... WIlliam Regal was a shock omission from my thinking however..... As a once off we could add Nathan Jones.....

Conway isn't...that...bad hmm.gif

Yup, and remember Rodney Mac
Talon
God Vince would love that
AtticusBlueprint
Yeah, it would be somewhat entertaining yet offensive at the same time
Talon
Although if your a foreign worker there's a good chance your already wearing the sterotypical gimmic. laugh.gif
AtticusBlueprint
Actually what they should do is get a foreign stereotype, but do everything the exact opposite of the steryotype, I wonder if that will get over
Subtemperate
A russian who is always sober and hates alcohol? laugh.gif
AtticusBlueprint
laugh.gif

Or an east german woman with no beard
Subtemperate
"Tajiri is actually a good driver".....

lol...ok, thats probably just a stereotype here......

How about a japanese wrestler who has a thing against cameras? lol
snuffypuffer
Umm, Maven sucks. yes.gif
Subtemperate
....He couldnt suck more if he was a vaccuum cleaner salesman wink2.gif
snuffypuffer
He is not jazzy in any way, shape, or form.
Subtemperate
If he were a fruit, he would be a lemon.....lol
Subtemperate
I just read the Raw results, and I must say....I am interested in seeing where this announcement by Jericho does indeed lead......

I don't want to say spoilers..... so I won't....
The Book Man
thanks for not ruining it cuz i still have 7 more minutes untill it starts where i live
Subtemperate
I have over 24hrs myself....so I understand not wanting to discuss things beforehand....lol

I am going to make sure I see Raw this week.....

-- The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has issued a complaint regarding WWE's portrayal of Muhammad Hassan and Hassan Daivari. The allegations include:

*WWE is depicting two non-Arab Americans as Arab Americans. Additionally, WWE misleads fans into believing Daivari is speaking Arabic, when he is actually speaking Farsi.

*The USA chants prove WWE's angle has resulted in a negative image about the American loyalty of Arabs living in the country.

*WWE is undermining the seriousness of the anti-Arab American racism in the country, which has a negative impact on the younger fans.

*WWE's angle will ultimately spawn more racism.
snuffypuffer
Umm, since most people actually seem to like Hassan and Daivari, I don't think the angle is going to spawn more racism. And, if they're not Arab-Americans, what are they? Just Americans? Shouldn't that be what they are in the first place? What am I getting wrong?
Subtemperate
Snuffy, I agree....

The crowd chant USA whenever anyone says anything negative about the country, its not race specific....

Next the french people will complain about Renee Dupree, considering hes not actually french......
Seraphina
I do think, and still do think, that the gimmick does have the potential to inflame an already volatile situation mind...if it was over here, we'd already have muslim aslylum seekers protesting in the streets about it, just like they do when we try and celebrate christmas, and then have the government imposing a ban on the WWE until it changes the gimmick...

....

Sorry, bitter moment tongue.gif
Subtemperate
Whereas us over here on the other hand, had muslims have a council reverse its decision to stop serving ham at lunchs, because they wanted to be treated no different.....

Each to their own original.gif
Seraphina
You see, why can't we have that? Normal, rational, and fair people? sad.gif
Subtemperate
You should get up and come to australia...... I can vouch for it wink2.gif
lotus_spring
When can we see Batista vs Brock? They have similar tattos and physique. I bet they will fight one day.
Seraphina
Probably never - Brock's return to the WWE seems extremely unlikely at this point...besides, if Brock were to come back, I wouldn't want him stepping into the main event scene straight away anyway, after the way he treated the industry, and the fans, upon his departure.

I also don't think it would be a very good match...one of Brock's great strengths was the fact that he was so much larger than his opponent, and could do a lot of impressive moves...or, given an opponent that could really wrestle him, like Kurt or Eddie, he could put on a good wrestling match too...Batista, who's not a good wrestler, and is a little too big to be thrown around the ring like a pillow, would really limit the match's potential, beyond two big guys hitting each other.
Subtemperate
If Brock comes back Im sure these two would have a match......

I somewhat agree that the match would be different, quite like the Goldberg/Brock match at mania last year...... SO maybe not as entertaining as possible...
Seraphina
In fairness, the Goldberg Brock match was lame because of three reasons...

1 - Goldberg sucks, and unlike Chris Jericho, Brock isn't quite good enough to carry him to a good match.

2 - Brock was demorolised as it was thanks to the reception he got from the crowd, and really didn't put in any effort whatsoever.

3 - The way they went about it just didn't suit the fued...given the way it had been built, they should have just torn into each other, not go through that lame "test of strength" cliche. If Brock had been in a better mood, I imagine he would have done.
Subtemperate
Thankyou Miss McMahon wink2.gif

Your describing things I know, a year later...lol

But you are right, and that is cute in itself....lol
Seraphina

Thankyou Miss McMahon


Which one am I exactly....Stephanie, oh she of the voice that torments dogs, and with a chest that makes her look like she's getting ready for the national air balloon championships.....or Linda, the only McMahon that was apparantly born without a personality. Or, as I call her, Mrs Roboto huh.gif

Either way, I'm offended crying.gif
Subtemperate
....Maybe you married into the family....?

lol......anyhow, yes I rethink that and am deeply offended myself....I am ashamed.... crying.gif
Seraphina
On the plus side, I would be very rich, and have a hand in the WWE creative team huh.gif
Subtemperate
Yes, but you would be sleeping with HHH......

A triple bed, one bit for you, one for him, and one for his nose....
Seraphina
*thinks it's impossible to sleep with Triple H, as steriods will have reduced the size of manhood to the point of being microscopic*
Subtemperate
....So thats why he was with Chyna....

On a side note..... What in the world was Paul London wearing on smackdown this week?
Seraphina
I must be honest, I didn't watch it...although if it was anything like No Way Out, I'm assuming he was dressed something like the Ultimate Warrior, only with talent? huh.gif
Subtemperate
Hey, the ultimate warrier could....breathe....

He wore a fur, and weird leg things...... I didn't see NWO so I was a little bewildered....
Seraphina
Yes, the Ultimate Warrior could breath....if he was standing still, had just recieved several hours rest, and hadn't shot up in a while tongue.gif

Let's face it, he got tired running to the ring, let alone during his match dontgetit.gif
Subtemperate
I acnt say I could do much better.....I almost collapsed when I swam 50 metres once..... Note, I am not a strong swimmer....
Seraphina
*poses, as she got a 1000 meter badge ages ago...so long ago, in fact, that she can no longer swim worth a damn*

Swimming and running are different things though tongue.gif The distance from the entrance ramp to the ring in his day was...what? huh.gif Twenty feet? tongue.gif Ah...it's great to make fun of the Anabolic Warrior original.gif
Subtemperate
lol....I did like him....a long time ago....hell he and hogan put on one of the longest Wrestlemania matches I can remember..... and the crowd was very into it....How in the world they did it I'll never know....
Seraphina
Because they didn't know it was a work back then...or at least most fans didn't anyway. To them, Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior represented to two absolute best of all time facing off, to decide the best ever...

....yeah right tongue.gif
Subtemperate
Sera is very young...... next you'll tell me Santa isn't real, and Stone Cold didnt hurt him... crying.gif

I loved them both, I knew it was a work..... So there with your conclusion....
Seraphina
Oh, there were a lot of fans who did know, s'true. But that was back in the day when wrestlers were required to promote the idea that wrestling wasn't a work at all times. Keyfabe just didn't exist back then...so a lot of fans just didn't pick up on it.
