Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thrones spoiler : your favourite character DEFINITELY dies before the end, whoever it is. Only Rickon and Yara are making it to the end. Â Â I fucking love you Raider. I did the same thing on Facebook and the shit storm that rained down on me was fantastic! Â On topic, Sheamus is tremendous! Fucking tremendous. Everyone loves to hate an obnoxious bully that can actually back it up, and he plays that role to absolute perfection.

WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Sheamus definitely doesn't belong in this thread, a very solid hand to have around and as a heel can easily slot into the top of the card when needed to go against your champion babyface for a month or two. And he actually looks like a fucking wrestler rather Joe Bloggs off the street. He'd have been fucking tremendous in the fed around 1993 with either look the look he has now or the previous one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2015 To add to the Sheamus love, he also had an enjoyable feud with the Big Show. Not many people can do that nowadays. Not to cast aspersions on Show, because he's solid enough, but he's been around so long, done pretty much everything and been rinsed as a character, it's difficult for both him and anyone he's feuding with to do anything that draws interest these days.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted June 16, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2015  "Roman Reigns hits a clothesline, Reigns took Rollins' head off with the clothesline". Because the word "He" is fucking banned.  FUCK PRONOUNS.  This is the first time I've heard this, I'll never be able to not notice it now. That's mad.  I'd never noticed this before. It drove me mad in Money in the Bank how glaringly obvious it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Chavo Guerrero  It's probably unfair to call him useless because he was ok in the ring but ultimately he was just Eddie's nephew. I also feel he sort of lived off the Guerrero name rather than add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 17, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2015 If it's unfair to call him useless, which it is, then why mention him in a useless wrestlers thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel he sort of lived off the Guerrero name rather than add to it.  I always felt his Kerwin White character would've gone on to be the most entertaining he ever was, and that it was a shame that circumstances ended it. He was definitely very watchable during that time - the character was quite sophisticated for wrestling, yet simple enough that everybody knew exactly what was behind it, and it was perfect for a heel in today's society, where racial identity and politics is a major topic in American life.  In this regard, he wasn't completely useless. Besides, he's had his moments as a heel, like when he was Vickie's/Edge's henchman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Minus shoot interviews and the crazy headline stories about him I always felt New Jack was a waste of a spot on the card. Â His shoot interviews have entertained me but working with him must be a nightmare, he seems the most unprofessional person in the business. Even if he kayfabes most and lives off past events theres still the stigma of mass transit, gypsy joe, the stabbing etc, that all people would want to see in a match with him is something nasty which would be awful to live up to as a performer working with him. Â He has also made it public that ecw wise he kept jumping off balconies as a way of staying on shows, in shoots he regularly mentions Paul saying you gotta jump off it tonight. Â I don't know whether he does count or not, but in my book he just seems someone who believes he is greater than he is, I think he lasted longer than he should of and has a rep for not even being easy going to work with.

I was over interpreting it to mean man who is hench.  henchman ˈhɛn(t)ʃmən/ nounderogatory  a faithful follower or political supporter, especially one prepared to engage in crime or violence by way of service.
