d-d-d-dAz Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I don't see any point in that.For the most part their audience aren't going to have a fucking clue what good or bad ballroom dancing is. They shouldn't muddy the 'dance' act, or the fact that he's a proud, world class dancer, by pointing out he or his partner are shite.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 Of course she can't dance. It's not deliberate, she's just no professional. All she needs to be able to do is a twirl and the splits and have a cracking set of pins on her. It seems pointless to hire a real dancer just to come along for that.
King Pitcos Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I like them using a real dancer for the girl. One of the great bits about Fandango for me is that he does barely any dancing himself and just looks like a right sleazy prick, winking and pulling faces while the girl dances. Him being a massive sinister charlatan paired up with a girl who knows her stuff works better for me.
Paid Members Statto Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Has he actually proven that, though? He says he is, but there's not been any dance performance of significant length to show it, just 10-second bursts of not a lot during entrances etc. My reading of it is that the whole "I'm a world class dancer" thing could be bullshit, and unless I'm totally mistaken Cole has questioned that a couple of times on commentary. I think the response was a belligerent "Of course he is what he says his is" from JBL, but that's classic heeling. As I said, just my reading of it. Could be wrong. Edit: My post was in response to Daz. Seems PITCOS has a similar opinion to me. Edited May 19, 2013 by Statto
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Totally agree with Pitcos here. I think the genuine dancer adds to Fandangos aura in a much better way than Summer Rae. It becomes too much of a joke or something with Summer and her being shit and as well. And the dancer carries herself awesomely for wrestling (I suppose you need great presence on the dance floor too), I think she interacts better and has greater chemistry with 'Dango. Also, the look she has when she stands at the end of the entrance way while Fandango does his bit and his opponent comes down and walks past is sexy as hell. Edited May 19, 2013 by ShortOrderCook
TheShowOff Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 We need country singer Double J to come back and sing With My Baby Tonight whilst Fandango dances to it.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 I agree that the pro dancer is really good (and fantastic to look at), but just from a logistical point of view, it makes sense to stick with someone that can be incorporated into the act a little more now that the gimmick has been established.
Ant Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 We need country singer Double J to come back and sing With My Baby Tonight whilst Fandango dances to it. We all know the D O Double G really sang it.
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Also, the look she has when she stands at the end of the entrance way while Fandango does his bit and his opponent comes down and walks past is sexy as hell. Absolutely, noticed that the first time Jericho twatted Fandango Regarding Summer Rae, Didn't think much of her when she first turned up but after last weeks Raw and looking at some pictures from when she was in that lingerie American football thing, I'm definitely a fan of hers now Edited May 19, 2013 by Dr.PeterVenkman
Paid Members Statto Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 Whilst I don't exactly mind Roman Reigns using the spear as a finish, it is a bit played out, and is already being used as a finish by Kaitlyn, and as a signature move by Big Show. Time to resurrect the Clothesline from Hell.
King Pitcos Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 One of Ryback's specials is a big clothesline, though. The Dominator hasn't been used since Lashley, has it? Reigns could have that in singles. I agree that the spear is overdone, but it has worked perfectly for the finishes they have done in their matches.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 He's one of the first guys in years to do a decent one, too. I don't mind it so much because at least he looks good, really commits to it. Would be cool if he used a big power move in singles though. Powerbomb would work, since it's just a variation of what The Shield use already.
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted May 19, 2013 Paid Members Posted May 19, 2013 The Dominator needs to be claimed by Big E. Be better than his current finish and he is black after all.
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Reigns has a successful football background, which probably contributes to his spear looking so good. Wasn't the reason Lashley dropped the Dominator because it wreaks havoc on the knees? A powerbomb is probably the best bet for a replacement, but I'd let him keep the Spear.
d-d-d-dAz Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Standing dominators look better, I think. Providing the person taking the bump commits to it, that is. Edited May 19, 2013 by d-d-d-dAz
