Magnum Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Daniels was rubbish, true, and Snitsky - I actually thought the name "Gene" worked with it. "Lashley" was clearly their attempt to emulate Goldberg again. Always wondered why they didn't do it with Lesnar.  Because you couldn't make up a better first name for a wrestler than 'Brock'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 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. Â Daniels is definately the worst for that, I didn't mind Lashley tbh, I really like ol' Gene Snitsky as a name, it was eh different at least...but that wasn't his fault. Â Even with his comeback Daniels is stil Daniels, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sounds badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 First thing that sprung to mind for me was the Angle/HHH/Stephanie [occassionally Trish] love triangle/quadrangle storyline. Â Having a heel Kurt and Stephanie would have been NUCLEAR heat at that time in my opinion. Fans were just BEGGING HHH to turn face, kick Kurts ass and Pedigree his wife. Â ....and then they went at fucked it all up. 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 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. Â Apparently they got rid of the blue-bar cages because they were simply too dangerous; there's no give in them, so anyone who goes flying into them is going get battered.

Â Indeed, I think in his shoot interview Michaels said he lobbied for a mesh cage, as the blue bar one was a bastard to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teleman Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Probably stupid picks but I hated Rikishi turning into a 'Bad Man' all of a sudden. Just didnt work for me. Â And Chavo ditching the Kerwin White gimmick. I can see why they did it but he never clicked with me as just Chavo. Esp when it got to his ECW title reign.

RJ Impact Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Big Show?! came in a Vince's bodyguard/ monster he looked the part, he was in decent-ish shape not as bad as he'd get and came with a main event rep from wcw.  But a month in he kinda lost direction and if I remember, he wrestled Austin (wasted big ppv match) pissed of the Rock and had a thrown together match with Mankind at mania.  Then he : Turned face joined The UNION (remember them), : Turned heel again with Taker a decent team I thot and good feud with Xpac & Kane. : Turned Face won WWF title then Bossman Feud, lost belt to HHH : Turned Heel on Rock, had 4way at Mania : Turned Face did comedy impressionist gimmick  All this in one year was enough to ruin his credability, of course they tried more turns and pushes but mostly it was too late, alot was his fault for being lazy etc over the years and he's had a good run and decent moments (with Lesnar was great imo) but maybe not as good as he should/couldve been.
