Paid Members tom Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 The most obvious change I can think of right now was Lawler's god damn awful new music they rolled out about 2 weeks before WrestleMania but then thankfully ditched the following week. An older example I can think of is the way Orton's character after Evolution canned him went to absolute shit. I also miss Kane's towel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 10, 2011 When Christian first turned on Edge. The next night he came out with that awesome operatic entrance theme. I'm not sure if it was just the one week or a couple, but really soon they changed it for the worse, keeping the same opening bit, but adding on a generic tune afterwards. 1st one   Pissed me right off at the time.  Still, even the second is way better than the toss he comes out to now.  put me in the "prefer the second" camp.  they sounded rather distinctive, and with the operatic bits, sounded like Queen might have written them.  I can only assume you have never listened to a Queen LP in your life.   OH come one.. that first version is a blatant rip of Bohemian Rhapsody.  The second version is much better though; much cooler riff.   My shout for this is something that's happened a few times.. when people start cheering a heel, so they turn them but then they change what you liked about the character in the first place. So frustrating! Happened with Cena, happened with Kurt, and to an extent Eddie as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovanist Pig Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Rene Dupree's fantastique french tickler. They put the brakes on it once it started to get over. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digforvictory Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Don't know if it was the WWE's fault or Dolph went about it on his own but the new Dolph Ziggler haircut is shit and makes him look so generic. His long blonde hair was daft but it made him stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 10, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2011 Something really minor, but in 1995 Hitman seemed to ditch his usual choices of "pink top black bottoms" and "black top pink bottoms" in favour of the dull-as-fuck all black attire, only occasionally reverting to anything else. That disappointed me, I mean the "black and black attack" just doesn't have the same ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz2050 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The one that immediately springs to mind is The Original Nexus. When they first debuted and literally tore the ring up, they were looking to be unstoppable and in the making of what could have been one of the greatest angles in the last decade. Â And now they pretty much suck and haven't done anything of note for god knows how long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 they sounded rather distinctive, and with the operatic bits, sounded like Queen might have written them.  I can only assume you have never listened to a Queen LP in your life.  You assume wrong. Well, half-wrong - I've never listened to a Queen LP, because I'm not a decrepit old man  I can't quite explain it; I should've been clearer, but I suppose the best way to clarify is that, to me, they sound like tracks that would've been written by a heavy rock/metal group who had taken most of their inspiration from Queen, if that makes sense. The first one definitely sounds like it was inspired by the third section of BR, like Chest says. The second one not so much, but still there's something about the chord progression and the melody that just sounds very "Queenish" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast Pie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Every single time a wrestler gets his first name taken away. It's worked a grand total of twice, and that's because Goldberg and Batista are awesome names. But Snitsky? Lashley? And the worst one, Daniels. Ugh, hate it.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2011 Daniels was rubbish, true, and Snitsky - I actually thought the name "Gene" worked with it. Â "Lashley" was clearly their attempt to emulate Goldberg again. Always wondered why they didn't do it with Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mole Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 They probably have done it lately and I missed it but the old blue bars steel cage matches, it would make the elimination chamber and hell in a cell look even more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
