uk_wrestle_fan_1981 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Listen Bud your work starts the minute you pull up in your car until the time you leave in your car its not just about 15-20 minute ring time, just a little tip from an old pro. Too many nowadays want to do there match go to the bar break character, mix with fans, watch the rest of the show it kills job imo but i am old school so maybe i have to modern up. Â No not at all, I completely agree with you, there is not enough kayfabe kept up at shows these days anywhere in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate all this "Hi, i'm a wrestler, come say hello to me and fuel my ego" type bullshit that goes on. Same for all these wrestlers who ask people to "Film my match so I can put it on youtube to prove i'm a wrestler" types. It really angers me, maybe it shouldn't, but it does! I remember Orig Williams telling me once that even though we know its a work, and the general population knows its a work...the little six year old nagging his parents for a ticket, he thinks its real! So don't show him he's wrong. Â Back on topic, i'm looking forward to watching this, I've never met the Knights but they've always intrigued me. Old school is cool!

Â I know Orig was your mentor and a great man too. When we first walked into his company as the superflys, we had the same haircuts same clothes same trainees, Orig buzzed his first words were, thats how a tag team should look we got many bookings and the best advice from the great man.

Keith Houchen Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Won't quote it but that exactly right, Ricky. One of the myriad reasons Ronin came second in the SHITARSE FIFTY was how he would only stay in character for his match. That character being a masked SHITARSE os opposed to a SHITARSE walking round without a mask on but a Ronin t shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have at least drawn on some comedy eyes like Tensai, worn false goofy teeth with coke bottle glasses, and talked like Pigsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That was another pet hate of the late promoter Orig Williams, who used to say guys would do a foreign gimmick and go up the bar and order a beer with a cockney accent, needless to say they only done it once, guys are too scared of being un noticed nowadays, they have to let the world now they are that wrestler.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, I really hate that myself. I was watching a "Guv'nor" show a few years back, and this chap in camoflage is described as coming from Washington DC or somewhere, comes out to Springsteen's Born in the USA, but was shouting in the same accent as Geoffrey Boycott.

knightmare Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Thats why when i have foreigners on my shows i make them stick to their own language because people just dont believe it anymore, A viking from Oslo dont sound right saying shut it you ol' Tart.

Ravenhill Promotions Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have a Masked Mexican on my show who is a fan favourite. So as not to spoil the illusion, during the backstage pass session, the referee will tend to stand by him an act as a 'translator' so as not to seem ignorant to the kids by not speaking to them.

moofasa Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I was at the match was exciting all over the hall brawl. The Knights wrestled like Hooligans. The Bastards. Props to Roy for his Bushwhacker stomp. Â Would Orig Williams have carried on the kayfabe promoting the resentment between the two teams for the rematch. Or would he have gone on a fan forum and told the fans they are all good mates on facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Good luck with the show. I want spin-offs on Dixon, Bagga and Ravenhill. Or possibly a sitcom with them sharing a flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
