Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2014 Joey Styles was one of the worst things about the original ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Why do you think so? I wouldn't put him anywhere near the top of a "worst of ECW" list (Balls Mahoney would be top). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted August 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2014 Because he is terribly annoying. When Bisch makes a joke on Nitro about WWF, he came across as a cocky fucker, when Styles takes pot shots (which he does routinely) he sounds like a nerdy wanker getting his shit in. He looks very annoying, has awful phrases (TOTAL ELIMINNNUURRRRRHHHNATIONNNN) and sometimes tries wayyyyyyy to hard to sell something, to the point it loses all organic heat in his selling. An awful announcer, he was much better when he had someone telling him to shut up every few minutes, and by better he was less shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2014 I like his announcing on the whole, but hated that 'oh my goaaaad!' screech he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTXRussomark Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah I always hated Styles. Never understood the level of hype he always got back in the day. Always came across as completely fake and insincere in everything he said or did. I don't think I ever forgave him for almost ruining the Pillman ECW debut with his hammy acting. It was like watching William Shatner interacting with Walter White.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) It never occurred to me before, but Hulk Hogan without his moustache looks a bit like Russ Abbott     Which one is Abbott?  Haven't been to much live wrestling for years, for various reasons, but I'm going to watch Evolve in mid-september, partly because it's pretty close, and partly because I haven't seen Zack Sabre Jr. wrestle in years.

Paid Members gadge Posted August 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2014 I wasn't impressed with EVOLVE in New Orleans, but I'm sure you will appreciate seeing how far Zack has come on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Fucks sake! Night of Champions 2010 is on three times back to back on the network today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The live feed has been lazy as fuck lately. Yesterday was the Shield special, followed by Top 50 Finishers, followed by the Shield special, followed by Top 50 Finishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yeah I noticed that. Annoying for a bank holiday weekend over here. How hard is it to just pick some random shows and throw them on to fill the schedule with some sort of theme to tie them together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Putting the same PPV on three times in a row is a piss take and it's not like they are short on content so I can only assume that's it is just plain laziness on their part.

Undefeated Steak Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Might be wrong as I don't have the Network but is it not NOC's 2010, 11, 12 and the EPG is wrong? If it really is three NOC 2010's in a row then that's inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
