WyattSheepMask Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Fucking hell, state of Hogan in his baggy Bernies, "whatcha gonna do, when Moshermania runs wild on you!"
Pinc Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Shine a light. That's one of my favourite wrestling pics ever. Can anyone produce one of him in the flannel shirt mentioned above? I can't picture it, and Google Image doesn't seem able to find it.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 19, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted June 19, 2015 Holy shit! Cheers dudes. Great pics.
Paid Members herbie747 Posted June 19, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I never understood people who thought Sting had a great gimmick - it was just Brandon Lee in the Crow. It's not Sting's gimmick - he stole it from a movie. All the material & mannerisms were already mapped out for him on film. It's the equivalent of praising a karaoke singer for originality.

Cannibal Man Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I can't believe Hogan's only in his 40's in that tacheless picture. He looks like he should be in tears telling a Reel King machine to fuck off.
HeavyT Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah the whole nWo thing really did seem like a bunch of old men tryin to be "gangsta" in the end, much as i loved it. Good point on Sting, I saw some of the early Crow stuff and it was insane they never recieved any sort of backlash from the Crow creator/filmmakers. I guess wrestling gets away with a lot of copyright infringement, though.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 19, 2015 Author Paid Members Posted June 19, 2015 Ripping something office easy. Doing it well and making it something you are remembered for is a whole other matter. Translating it to something as niche as Wrestling is on another level.

Translating it to something as niche as Wrestling is on another level. But it wasn't his character. He didn't even have to think about any aspect of it - it was already in a movie that he could copy it from: the movements, the mannerisms, the facepaint, the clothes, the personality, the mysterious aura. I just find it all very underwhelming when someone copies something and then gets credit for it. And this wasn't just an "influenced by" situation - it's a carbon copy. Like when Robocop came out. And Mr Frostie (the Mortal Combat guy) or whatever.
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 19, 2015 Paid Members Posted June 19, 2015 I don’t think any one’s ever lauded Sting for coming up for an original gimmick. But as above, it’s one he’s made memorable for almost two decades now.

How does that stop it being a great gimmick though? You've made the case for where the gimmick came from but not for how that detracts from how good it was?
