Re: The Official WWE Thread - Part 8

Honestly, I look forward to seeing Summer Rae more than Fandango.

He cringes me out. His gimmick is pretty average and something which Santino Marella/Khali/Brodus Clay would be associated with.

Maybe WWE can re-package him. But As Tom said, WWE fans will ALWAYS be on his back with the fandango music from now on. Even if he comes as the next Undertaker.

by Onyx Thu Jan 16, 2014 5:19 pm

It doesn't matter what his gimmick is since he's in the midcard. Over the top gimmicks/comedy gimmicks are ok for the midcard.

Bryan had a silly gimmick with Kane when he was tag champion. Cena was a rapper.

If he does get over and gets a main event push, he'll probably tone down the dancing.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Jan 16, 2014 5:22 pm

Yeah the one positive here is we get to see Summer Rae in a skimpy dress flopping about the ring Proud

Fandango's gimmick makes me sick. That *bleep* dancing shite man. So bad.

MT. How can he 'tone down the dancing' when his GIMMICK revolves entirely around dancing.

You're under the impression that WWE pick names out of a hat and the winner gets a main event push. No, mostly they have to put in great performances and get a lot of popularity and THEN they may be given a push

His gimmick is lower mid-card at best. And that's not a success by any means.

I don't know what the hell Vince saw in Fandango. Hew as the one who pushed him. Utterly average.

by Onyx Thu Jan 16, 2014 5:26 pm

Most midcarders have an extreme version of their gimmick and if they main event, it gets toned down. Cena's gimmick was rapping and he rarely ever raps nowadays. In fact Fandango could entirely drop the dancing and just have it as some occasional taunt in ring. Although it depends on whether he gets over and if WWE decide to push him.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Ryback is not well liked at all these days within WWE, even among people who used to have nothing but nice things to say about him.

The New Age Outlaws vs. Cody Rhodes and Goldust for the WWE Tag Team Titles is expected to be added to WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

by RealGunner Thu Jan 16, 2014 8:41 pm

Are the New Age Outlaws back in WWE or what lol?

by Onyx Thu Jan 16, 2014 8:46 pm

Yeh back for one last run apparently.

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin was asked on his podcast earlier today if he would be appearing at this year's WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view from New Orleans.

Austin said he would like to be there to do stuff with the talent and Legends for his podcast but no official appearance for the company has been set yet.

Watching Smackdown now, just started it

Miz on commentary, saying tonight is 'gonnna be awesooooooome'

The half-hidden look of disgust on JBLs face rofl

JBL

legitimately hates Miz.

CM vs HHH is on. Main event of Smackdown was CM calling out HHH then getting 6 on 1'd by The Shield, New Age Outlaws and Kane.

by Onyx Sat Jan 18, 2014 1:18 pm

It was confirmed on SmackDown tonight that The Shield will be in the Royal Rumble match. The updated list of competitors looks like this: Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Bad News Barrett, Fandango, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Batista, Alberto Del Rio, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Big E Langston, Xavier Woods, R-Truth, Cody Rhodes and Goldust.

Despite WrestleMania XXX and the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony taking place in New Orleans, there is no plan to have a big Mid-South Wrestling influence at the Hall this year. The idea is to go with the theme of 30 years of WrestleMania.

It's interesting that before WWE announced The Ultimate Warrior for this year's class, he was not one of the most recent names being floated around the company. There is also no talk of Randy Savage going in this year but it looks like Paul Bearer will be inducted.

As noted before, WWE also plans to induct the WrestleMania I main event itself with Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff and possibly Mr. T involved.

Didn't it get banned?

by Onyx Sat Jan 18, 2014 5:07 pm

Why would it get banned. hmm

by RealGunner Sat Jan 18, 2014 5:19 pm

One of those risky moves. Can damage spine n shit. Like the last ride got banned and pile drive

by Onyx Sat Jan 18, 2014 5:35 pm

Don't think Last Ride was banned.

JBL: "The Shield have taken out the Undertaker, we haven't seen him since."

He doesn't appear on RAW weekly anyway. I know it's a way to give the Shield credibility, but still.
