Is Rikishi an IWC legend?

[Tazz Dan]

Highly regarded TPWW poster Keith brought this up in another thread, and I thought I'd ask for people's thoughts on things.


Rikishi became a legend thanks to this angle.

Well, at least a IWC legend.

"I did it for The Rock" still resonates in our hearts.


In your mind as a proud member of the IWC, is Rikishi a legend in your mind, or do you find yourself using that quote (if any of you actually do) as more of a piss take than a homage. Discuss.

My vote is all the discussion I need......well, plus this.

[itsmeJD]

Also, fuck you Tazz Dan....ok, now I'm done.

[Ruien]

The statement is and that is what I believe the question was referring too.

[Tazz Dan]

Also, fuck you Tazz Dan....ok, now I'm done.

Go tweet HBK about it.

[KaosDarksol]

Not a legend merely a meme for us IWC people.

[Shisen Kopf]

No. He's a fat ass who got over b/c he danced. Might as well call Brodus Clay a legend too.

[Lock Jaw]

No. What is a legend is The Rock mocking Rikishi saying "I did it for The Rock."

[Lock Jaw]

In fact it is the first result on youtube when you search for "I did it for The Rock"

Best not to take Keith seriously.

[HTrain90]

No.

Well it's not like there are a ton of other things it could be.

[Lock Jaw]

Could be Rikishi saying it. Or this:

[Razzamajazz]

i barely remember the "i did it for the rock" thing. if not for teh intarwebz i don't think i would have ever been reminded of it

Rikishi's ass dimples are legendary.

[Fignuts]

He is an IWC legend in the same way that Gangrel and Val Venis are IWC legends.

[Fignuts]

By that I mean not at all.

[James Steele]

:'(

I liked Gangrel and Val Venis.

[owenbrown]

Noid would like a word with you about the latter wrestler :shifty:

Desmond would've been a much better outcome for the angle than Rikishi.

But nah, the "I did it for The Rock" thing is just a pisstake. I don't think anybody disliked Rikishi, but I also don't recall ever seeing anybody mention that he's a favourite of theirs. He's just kind of there.

[itsmeJD]

:'(

I liked Gangrel and Val Venis.

Gangrel had the greatest entrance in the history of sports entertainment. When that music hit, I knew he was getting his ass kicked, but damn if he wasn't cool as fuck coming up thru the fire and be-boppin to the beat while walking to the ring.

[JimmyMess]

he's a meme

[Shadrick]

I did it for Tazz Dan.

[Keith]

Best not to take Keith seriously.

In this case, exactly.

I mean, me saying Rikishi is a legend?

The phrase is legandary among those who witnessed it back then, though.

No, but the way he sold a clothesline was fucking legendary

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I loved Rikishi. He could've been a mega heel but they turned him into a bumbling idiot who still wore a thong even though he was supposed to be a scary bad guy.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think I say that every time Rikishi's name is brought up.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's true though.

[Tazz Dan]

It's too late to play the sarcasm card, you plenty of prior opportunity.

[Keith]

I did say an IWC legend, not a professional wrestling legend or future Hall of Famer.

So I stand by my statement.

[Tazz Dan]

Is my thread not about that?

[Keith]

Is my thread not about that?

The distinction between being an IWC legend and being a professional wrestling legend had to be reemphasized.

[Kane Knight]

He does have some of the hallmarks of an IWC legend.

Like nobody really caring about him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

HE'S A BAD MAN!

Not an IWC Legend.

[Rock Bottom]

Good wrestler. I wouldn't put him in the top 1000

[Bad News Gertner]

Much better wrestler than HHH.

[Kane Knight]

Much better wrestler than HHH.

And he outpopped D---Wrong meme.

[Tazz Dan]

Y2J outpopped The Rock at the Royal Rumble.

[Kane Knight]

Which IWC legend would do more damage to Raw as champion: CM Punk or Rikishi?

[Bad News Gertner]

The IWC loves Rikishi because he's one of the few who outweighs them.

[Keith]

He outweighs the IWC, but he's still more agile!

[Kane Knight]

The IWC loves Rikishi because he's one of the few who outweighs them.

And look better in a thong.

[Tazz Dan]

I'm willing to give evidence to prove that wrong ;)

[Kane Knight]

Well HULLO
