today's wrestlers that could have survived the attitude era

[SOCCER LEGS]

CM punk's character (heel version) would have carried over nicely, though i would imagine he would be buried a lot by Austin and others.

cena as the heel rapper would have been viable. his current shtick wouldn't have a chance in hell.

the miz would have gotten booed out of the building with x-pac heat.

orton wouldn't cut it.

kofi kingston would have done okay if they added a reefer smoking aspect to his character.

ted dibiase jr would have done fine since that gimmick never really goes stale.

daniel bryan would have been okay as long as they had the lightweight division.

not sure about batista, that one could go either i guess depending on his mic work.

john morrison could have gotten over if they gave him a gimmick where he's always tripping on acid or something, that would be great actually.




feel free to add more

[Xero]

Danielson would have been in ECW and probably been picked up by WCW around 97/98.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I disagree with several of your points.

[Juan]

How many guys did Austin bury?

[CSL]

Most of the stuff you said in the first post is brain-damage territory. And every guy under contract today would have been fine.

[SOCCER LEGS]

nope. not by a long shot.

[CSL]

Excellent.

I think that concludes the thread really.

[Aguakate]

"Booed out of the building with X-Pac heat".

Since when is X-Pac the measuring stick in terms of heat?

[SOCCER LEGS]

jesus christ you're one stupid dyke.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Since he started getting X-Pac heat. That's a real thing. Look it up.

He's wrong though. Miz would've been legendary.

[SOCCER LEGS]

I disagree with several of your points.

please elaborate.

Dude, did you even live through the attitude era? WWE did not have gimmicks with drugs, and why do you think Miz would have X-Pac heat? X-Pac heat is real dislike, and if you are playing a heel then it is fine. That term is so markish it makes me sick.

Orton wouldn't cut it? Hah, are you kidding me. He could have been the antithesis of Austin and a more toe to toe rival with The Rock.

Daniel Bryan would get over in any time period, light heavyweight title not needed.

And your Kofi Kingston comment is just racist.

This thread is kinda stupid.

[CSL]

'kinda stupid' is being kinda nice

[SOCCER LEGS]

Since he started getting X-Pac heat. That's a real thing. Look it up.

He's wrong though. Miz would've been legendary.

i don't think the audience back then would have had any sort of tolerance for a reality TV star turned pro wrestler.

also, miz is pretty small, and everyone was huge during the attitude era. look at Austin... he was relatively small compared to a lot of the roster, and he dwarfs the miz.

[VSG]

Soccer Legs got Jordan-X'ed.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think you're confusing the WWF Attitude Era with ECW.

[Aguakate]

Apparently, as I have learned tonight, Jerry "The King" Lawler could've survived in the Attitude Era...

...not only that, he would've been the hottest commodity...

...I mean, if TODAY he can be a CREDIBLE WWE Champion...uuufff...in the late 90's he would've been HOT FIRE!

Too bad he was doing PLAY BY PLAY all these 10+ years.

[CSL]

Yes, that is exactly what everybody that disagreed with you in the other thread was saying.

Glad you're still being objective.

I love all of you anyway...even if you're all wrong.

No, I'm being sarcastic now.

I'm a Chameleon.

x-pac heat is not fine if you're playing a heel

orton is boring as fuck and would have 0 chance at cutting a promo against austin or the rock and not coming off like shit.

daniel bryan is only over because of internet fans which didn't play nearly as big of a role back then.

the kingston gimmick isn't racist, it's stereotypical and the WWE did plenty of stereotypical shit back then.

okay you stupid nigger?

[Aguakate]

okay you stupid nigger?


...what the heck's wrong with u?

[SOCCER LEGS]

just demonstrating to this retard what a "racist comment" really is

[Lock Jaw]

SOCCER LEGS garnering some X-Pac heat in this thread.

[Aguakate]

..."X-Pac heat"...

...unbelievable.

[SOCCER LEGS]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Tazz Dan]

daniel bryan is only over because of internet fans which didn't play nearly as big of a role back then.

Um.... That's when most of us started coming here, so I'd say you're wrong there.

[Tazz Dan]

Ok, well maybe not most of us, but a few.

[SOCCER LEGS]

yes there were internet fans, just not nearly as many of them, and they represented a much smaller % of the total fanbase.

not sure why that is so hard to comprehend.

Good god. I don't suppose there's much chance of you just not posting anymore is there?

[SOCCER LEGS]

go drink a cup of bleach and i promise i'll stop posting here.

[CSL]

Brilliant.

[Tazz Dan]

Not as many, but still quite a few. It was internet fans that pushed the attitude era, WCW when it was hot and ECW. They were the guys in the area's chanting and making noise. And everyone else jumped on the bandwagon quick because of it.

not sure why that is so hard to comprehend

[Aguakate]

Some people here don't like me because my points of view are a little bit different than everyone else's, but Soccer Legs is just...obnoxius.

[SOCCER LEGS]

now you're just talking out your ass.

[Juan]

Wish I could ban both of you forever.

[SOCCER LEGS]

Wish I could ban both of you forever.

lol u mad?

[Tazz Dan]

Wish I could ban both of you forever.

I used to feel the same, but without dipshits like them this place would just get boring. :-\

[SOCCER LEGS]

no, people don't like you because you're a fucking moron.

people don't like me because i'm intellectually superior to them and they just can't hang so they gotta hate instead.

[Aguakate]

Too bad it's a Democracy...not a Dictatorship:

Nah it wouldn't. He's not entertaining, just really deluded and shit. I'd have no problems 'discussing' who may or may not have thrived in the Attitude era if the person that started the discussion wasn't so glaringly and hopelessly clueless.

[CSL]

And Aguakate is nowhere near as bad as SOCCERLEGS.

[SOCCER LEGS]

lol u mad

[Aguakate]

Thanks...

I wasn't meaning so much their personalities, more when they try and out-flame each other. It's rather sad yet amusing at the same time.

I'm not trying to "out flame" anyone.

I'm just giving ya'll the best that I got...

...that's all I can do...

If this, as in that ^^^^ is the best you have, I'd rather go without.

You've got some real good potential, kiddo...

...keep on going...I believe in you.

(Aguakate pats Tazz Dan on the back)

[SOCCER LEGS]

I"m a huge faggot.

[Rammsteinmad]

Anyone from today would have got through the Attitude Era, including John Cena.

A more interesting question would be who from the Attitude Era would survive today? Because as much as we all love Steve Austin, he'd never have become the uber-megastar he became if it wasn't for all the cursing, beer-drinking and middle-finger sticking he did.

IMO.

[Kane Knight]

Most of the stuff you said in the first post is brain-damage territory. And every guy under contract today would have been fine.

Especially when you consider the crowds were so hot they would have popped for the hot dog vendor if he wrestled a match.

sounds like a pretty sweet gimmick

[Supreme Olajuwon]

http://www.fortunecity.com/olympia/mcmahon/48/multimedia/fatu3.jpg

This was one of the most popular gimmicks in the attitude era.

fortune city?

That's awesome.

[SOCCER LEGS]

i don't remember that one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's Rikishi's big fat thong ass. The point being that literally anything could get over in the attitude era.

[blak23]

the attitude era is dead let it go

[Aguakate]

It's Rikishi's big fat thong ass. The point being that literally anything could get over in the attitude era.

That's for sure.

[SOCCER LEGS]

couldn't be any further from the truth.

[Mooияakeя™]

If Orton was on his current persona, he'd be fine.

Punk is pretty much a new Right To Sensor (or was) and he can work and work the mic, he'd be fine.

The Nexus idea would of really worked well back then. Gangs were everywhere. It was "in". DoA, Ministry, Brood, dX, NoD, LB. They were the shit back then.

[Jordan]

the attitude era is dead let it go

Hypothetical questions are what make a wrestling discussion forum fun. And SOCCER LEGS, you have your opinions and feel the way that you do, and I really don't care that you feel that way.

Your a smark, and that just means your in an even bigger group of loser than the rest of us.

[Shadrick]

x-pac heat is not fine if you're playing a heel

okay you stupid nigger?

cmon man...not necessary

[Supreme Olajuwon]

couldn't be any further from the truth.

so your position is that Rikishi and Too Cool were a better fit for the attitude era than Randy Orton who "wouldn't cut it"

tremendous
