The Gaffer Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think Raven and The Flock are a good counterpoint example to the Headbangers of how to capture the zeitgeist of the time. They seemed genuinely cool and interesting and actually reflected that grungy nihlism 90s youth vibe. Meanwhile the Headbangers were such an obvious 'act' that would probably draw instant ire and suspicion from the scene their characters were supposedly representative of. Do girls tights. People draw big black triangles under their eyes at these things as well, right? White Zombie t-shirt. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I noticed Brodus Clay had more merch out than someone his standing should warrant. His gimmick had gotten old before the merch even hit the shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) I would imagine that Brodus Clay much a modern day R-Truth are good for the house shows and as warm up acts. On TV repetitive but would get a live crowd going or be part of the fun factor. I guess the merch would also be gimmicked and a good seller.

UK Kat Von D Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Couldn't have sold that well though because I'm sure I've seen some of his stuff in shops ages after his release from the company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So the Chicago allstate arena has announced on Facebook that Brock Lesnar will face Randy Orton in a rematch from SuMmerSlam at the live event on Saturday 24th of this month. The night before raws Clash Of Champions PPV. What a strange match to do at a house show - potentially a huge rematch based on what happened at SummerSlam being wasted here.

The Clint Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It wouldn't really hurt a rematch on a future PPV. As the old saying in wrestling goes 'if it didn't happen on TV, it never happened'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members mim731 Posted August 29, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 Piss off. Mark Henry's Hall of Pain is one of the greatest runs of the past 20 years. This. Between that run and the fake retirement promo, he deserves every dollar he's made over 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Kat Von D Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I've always found Henry to be tedious and fast forward material. I didn't watch wrestling much when he apparently got good, especially not Smackdown. When I got back into it, all I could see was the bloke who spent years being a useless turd.
