Forrest Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 SpiritOfTheForest put up on Facebook today and needed to show it. Also, the Alliance's heart-felt tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin which I criminally forgot first-time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's a shame this angle got nixed the next week, but doesn't Austin look like he is going to genuinley fuck up Coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 24, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not the funniest thing ever, but look at Steve Austin at 0:58 on this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpEWyVMS26M...ature=endscreen  Thats just one example, but there are a million more. Look how he cracks the joke and continues on straight faced. He isn't stopping for laughs, he isn't laughing at his own shit or smirking. He's just naturally funny. The littles things like that he was great at. I dont think there was a more natural actor in segments and angles than Austin. He never came across as contrived. Everything he ever said seemed to be from his own head. Nobody is in his league today when it comes to carrying angles. He's a class above.

hallicks Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 One for the unintentional comedy moments section (IIRC) - when someone - Orton, Batista? May have been Batista, I can't remember - was in the process of leaving/being excommunicated from Evolution as he was becoming a face for the first time. He had some really impressive impact move done on him that made his trunks become displaced and unfortunately revealed his maroon underpants during the crucial moment, resulting in Trips, Flair et al genuinely pissing themselves during the all important heel-smugathon payoff moment afterwards. Damn, someone tell me this happened. It'd be one of my more shitty dream recalls if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Austin Alliance stuff really highlights why so many promos fall flat today, for both faces and heels. Austin just rattles off the one-liners and carries on, coming across as natural, unscripted and genuine. Today, it feels like every time a face or heel cracks a joke or an insult in a promo, they stop and look to the crowd or the interviewer, which makes faces look smug and the heels look desperate.
