Katie Vick comes to mind, what have been some of the worst.....
Storylines only....
-
Mae Young birthing a hand.
WTF was that about? ???
-
I agree with that. How about Big Shows dad dying and Big Bossman hooking the casket up to his truck and big show jumping on top of it. Or when they were pulling stuff out of Jim Ross's ass after is colon surgery.

Ha!!
I honestly just thought of that the other day.
Although, I only vaguely remember the Ross vignet.
-
The big boss man casket was ok.
How about Raw GM, oh wait that never concluded.
How about David Arquette as Champ?
-
Marc Henry boinking Mae Young.
The Fingerpoke of Doom.
Numerous Dusty Rhodes storylines being betrayed by someone he had "taken under his wing"
Rick Steiner breaking out of "The Varsity Club"
-
The ventriloquist dummy assigned to the Road Warriors & Ellering in WWF.
Also, WCW had Rick Steiner engage in an actual on-air conversation with the Chucky doll from the Child's Play movies...
-
Shall we not forget Moppy?
-
Billy & Chuck being closet gays, Mae Young birthing a hand, Robocop & Sting, David Arquette being WHC, Heidenreich being in LOD, The Bodydonnas, Umaga's push as unbeatable (i absolutely hated it! HATED IT!)...........
This is actually quite distressing remembering all of these awful moments in history.

I almost posted the Billy & Chuck angle, but it actually drew some attention/publicity.
It still sucked, though.

Always hated when they had a very promising tag-team in Mid-Atlantic "The New Breed" get bogged down in fued with Valiant and had them ranting about being from the future and quoting transformers stuff. They didn't need that stupid angle. Then one of them was injured in a motorcycle accident and that was that. Sean Royal and Chris Champion were their names at that time.

I remember that. It was frustrating.

WCW with the Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan. Kevin had wrestlers following him like they were in a trance through the woods while dressed in there wrestling outfits eventually going to a cave
-
How about fake Diesel and Razor...
Interesting story, when Hall and Nash went to WCW their contracts had not been finalized. Someone in WCW saw the Jim Ross promos talking about Razor and DIesel coming back. So basically both Nash and Hall got an extra $400K sign on bonus becuase this WCW exec thought they were going back to WWF. And when the fakes aired, the WCW exec had egg all over his face...
-
WWE's necrophiliac storyline a few years back
-
Undertaker trying to possess Stephanie McMahon, or whatever...tying her up to that cross, snore.

Yeah, the whole satanic angle was pretty lame - too unrealistic.
I know that wrestling is "fake," but I think the idea is to blur the line.
Also, the fans just weren't into it.

Come on though, when Austin mde the save and took out the entire Ministry it was brilliant TV. I still get pumped thinking about it all these years later..........
Paul Bearer: "...you may kiss your bride"
JR: "oh for God sakes!"
(Glass breaks), Austin appears, crowd go ape shit and Austin whoops alot of ass. His comeback against the InvasionAlliance is a 1 off for TV though, perfect from start to finish.

JR's commentary is priceless lol.

I'm marking out here, but the sound of that glass shattering makes his entrance music my favorite in all of wrestling history.
Didn't they even have a T-shirt at one point that read: "When You Hear the Glass, It's Vince's Ass?"
I think a lot of other entrance themes generate a pop because of who they belong to, but Austin's was pure bad-assery all by itself.
-

Showstopper will disown me for posting this, but JR is the closest thing we have to a modern-day Gordon Solie.
Note: I'm not claiming Ross is the next Solie; just suggesting that he comes closer to Solie than anyone else in the industry in terms of what he adds to the broadcast.
Monsoon was also very good, but no one will ever top Gordon.

X2!
Not sure of the reasoning behind the JR hate, always thought he was a dynamic and intelligent speaker and sold great commentary. Most underrated to me has to be Mr. Schiavone, people can say what they want but he always stood out to me and had sort of a sportscaster feel to his commentary, and gave it a feeling of warmth and professionalism much like Ross. And no, Monsoon being as great as he was will never top Gordon.

Interesting. i actually think Schiavone is far better than he has been given credit. He was stooged by WCW during the wars, but his work before that was very solid. And unless someone knew his work in the late 80's and early 90's in NWA/WCW they wouldn't understand.
As for JR. Not going to argue that he might be the closest to Gordon that we have.....but who is his competition? Joey Styles....Coachman....La wler.....oh brother. ::) JR was very, very good in the old UWF and WCW, but I have never cared for his WWF work. Too many "Goooooooood laaaaaards !!!!!!" For my taste.....but as I have said before, what Gordon had to commentate on was a very different product. Gives me shivers to think of him lowering himself to cover some of the garbage that VKM has churned out.

Good points, and i'm with you on JRs current WWE style with the "gooood laaaaaaards!" and "myyyyy gaaawwwwwds!", sure hes just doing what hes told but it makes the product even harder to watch than it already is. Also dead on about Schiavone too, did very good work in the NWA days, and really didn't change much throughout his career. A top commentator IMO.
And as far as Coachman and Lawler...? Well I really think their styles are specially suited for the product they work with, if it were anywhere else they'd look completely foolish and sound out of place, especially Coachman who shouldn't even be mention here. Commentating then and now is like a day and night difference.

Dont forget the legenday BMF walk he had to the ring to go with it ;D

Yeah, they made Ross a gimmick of sorts, what with the cowboy hat and phrases.
As for Tony, I think he just got caught up in the cut-throat environment that WCW became.
Heenan bashes him a lot, and although Tony made some dick moves, I suspect he did what he felt he had to do to survive in a pack of wolves.
Does anybody know why Schiavonne didn't stay long in the Fed?
That's not a rhetorical question; I'm curious myself.

Heenan can be a pure asshat when he wants to. Met him a few times, as friends did and he thinks much higher of himself than he most likely should. I think he was just taking cheap shots at Schiavone who has no platform to defend himself and became the whipping boy of the "smarks" of the 90's internet. Thereby Lawler is trying to "get over" by putting Schiavone down imo.
I'm not sure why he didn't stay. Although his style of calling matches was much more similar to old-school and probably didn't match VKM's idea of announcing.

My only problem was that it was Stephanie, and it was just dumb. I mean, if they did something to her, I dunno, actually made her puke all over the place like Papa Shango or something, or maybe allow her to go Exorcist for a show or two, but the lame buildup, all that crap...boring.
Yes, JR is awesome, but I prefer Monsoon...Cole is pretty lame, but I'm ok with Lawler. Anything is better than that fucking Rhino guy a few years back!

hahaha, that is a FACT !!! ;D

Joey Styles gets my vote

Are you referring to a specific storyline, or the character itself?
I know we kind of shifted gears.
Littleguns must hate me, as this is about the fourth time in two weeks that I've derailed one of his threads.
But, at least I didn't turn it into a Shawn-bashing fest.
Although, if you give me enough time, I could easily get going once again on Dusty.
It's been a while since I've ranted about the "common man," but it would be quite appropo given the thread title.
Let's see...the Shockmaster...one of the worst characters...with one of the worst storylines...created by one of the worst bookers...

Monty you bottom barel trash feeder of a human being, all you do is think about yourself! We really do know your gay passion for Shawn Michaels and how you tried to save him in Albany years ago and all you got from Shawn was a peck on the cheek.You wanted him to be your boy toy!
Now stop hijacking my shit! ;D

You're lucky I don't pull a "Chaos" and modify your posts into some kind of embarassing admission before locking the thread so you can't change or delete them.
