It was a tournament that had Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and Yokozuna in it so I was a bit confused to see some chubby little Beppe Di Marco lookalike being presented as a main eventer and reaching the finals. And against Mabel in a massive purple babygrow. I'm impressed you knew who Beppe Di Marco was in 1995 đ  What was The Savio Vega reveal? I remember him jumping the barrier as Razor Ramons mate. Another bad Rikishi reveal was when he was the lesbian in HLA. Knew it as soon as "she" came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Kat Von D Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 9 hours ago, iMPACt! said: D'Von being revealed as the masked mastermind behind Aces & Eights in TNA. Crowd goes incredibly quiet, although I'm sure you could hear a few laughs. Hulk Hogan overselling it with his best most shocked face ever. I was actually going to say Bully Ray being admitting he was behind the whole thing while in the cage shouting âI screwed youâ at Brooke in front of her Dad. The reveal itself was awesome and had great heat from what I remember. However for me, this signalled the beginning of a downward spiral that TNA could never pull itself out of. Great reveal, but the follow up was shit and killed the entire company for me. Since that moment they have only lost momentum, to points where itâs amazing the company still even exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkchopcash Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Tbf the savio reveal was not hyped up, it was a late sub for michaels that wasnt even announced before the show iirc.... still shit like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Culk Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Good thread! In terms of reveals of mystery match participants specifically, I read something once that forever ended my enjoyment of this type of angle. That being that the âmysteryâ gimmick is a booking tool to build excitement for an otherwise average or disappointing participant. If the wrestler to be revealed was genuinely exciting then the name would be announced in advance to garner as many buys / viewers for the show as possible. Since I read this Iâve never once since it contradicted. In WWE 9 times out of 10 the mystery participant turns out to be Kane and the announcers duly wet themselves with enthusiasm.

Tbf spend two and a half hours of the commentary team telling you "we don't know who it's going to be" and generally acting like DX have got an ace up their sleeve, building yourself up for "who could they have got in at the eleventh hour to replace Shawn fucking Michaels" and assume they might have pulled off something decent.... and then they wheel out a non entity like Vega???? Didn't need a six week Gabbo build to be the biggest letdown ever. Well, the biggest letdown until the field of the 2012 Rumble, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
