Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 24, 2015 Moderators Posted January 24, 2015 I think he ended up working a few shows though, tagging with Bret against Owen and the Bulldog until Davey Boy signed with the WWF around Summerslam of that year. Bruce seconded Bret to the ring in singles matches against Owen on house shows in the weeks preceding SummerSlam, but he didn't get in the ring himself. With Jack Lanza addressing him as "the school teacher" when going over the match. Bruce had negative respect in the locker room. Guarantee if Bret didnt replace him, someone else would have. The idea of Bruce vs Bret Hart in a year long program just doesn't compute in my brain. Cant even get a good vision of it in my brain. Well, I don't care what anyone says. Bruce, and his shades, are my favourite Hart and I'd have loved to have seen him on TV hilariously putting himself over more.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 24, 2015 Paid Members Posted January 24, 2015 His book is amazing. His lack of self awareness is great. The Lanza story is meant to make Bruce look the bigger man, but you instead just laugh at Lanza giving him the business in front of everyone.
King Pitcos Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Well, I don't care what anyone says. Bruce, and his shades, are my favourite Hart and I'd have loved to have seen him on TV hilariously putting himself over more. Bret would've had his stroke years sooner. Bruce is the perfect foil for him. Bret there craving respect from everyone, desperate to be taken as seriously as he takes himself, and having to stave off competition from Lex Luger for the top babyface spot... And getting saddled with this clown for 1994. For anyone who enjoys Bret Hart's misery, Bruce would have been the best option ever. He'd have been in business for himself every single night and absolutely ruined Bret's plans. As Hart family glorious dickheads go, Bruce is miles better than his successor Teddy.

UK Kat Von D Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 It really annoys me when Cena holds up a tea towl when making his entrance. What is the point of it? If he wants to wave something around that says "never give up" then they should give him a massive flag
King Pitcos Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Same point as wearing the t-shirt and cap. Someone else in the last year or so (Daniel Bryan? Ziggler? Someone anyway) would come to the ring advertising their official tea towel all the time as well.
d-d-d-dAz Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Bryan had a towel to which my missus, on a brief walk through the living room, remarked as he threw it into the crowd; 'well, I guess he hasn't got much use for it. Dirty git.' Edited January 25, 2015 by d-d-d-dAz
UK Kat Von D Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Seems a bit of a random thing to be pushing though. Hats, tops and wrist bands I understand. But why a tea towl? I wouldn't have thought most of his audience were old enough to do the washing up yet. Unless it's supposed to be for the Moms?
WyattSheepMask Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 It says Never Give Up on a towel, usually used to signify submission. Some kind of inspirational piece maybe, or just something they can slap his likeness on and sell
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 25, 2015 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Isn't it a "you'll be throwing this towel in" type of thing. Like how Bob Backlund used to carry his towel everywhere with him. Maybe it'll play into a storyline eventually. Nikki Bella will throw in the towel when they want to beat Cena, but not have him do a clean job. Saying that, its just a shitty little tea towel isnt it? Like it should have a picture in tribute to the royal wedding on it. They should have had Flair bring a tea towel out. And a plate of stottie cakes. Edited January 25, 2015 by IANdrewDiceClay

Paid Members air_raid Posted January 25, 2015 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2015 Then he'll go spare and put Lou Gianfriddo in the STF. And the role of Arnold Skaaland to be played, I'm guessing, by B2.
The Dart Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I think John Cena nicked the towel idea from Ricky Ortiz.
Glass Smash Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 If this was 1995 there would've been some guy standing near the ring telling you how easy it is to purchase your very own Cena tea towel. The way they used to plug Shawn's merch while he was walking down to the ring on a couple of PPV's was pathetic. The HBK sunglasses and posters etc.
