WWE signs some vanilla midget in a mask

[Bad News Gertner]

El Generico. He sucks. He weighs about as much as my cock. He has zero potential but smarks will blame it on the WWE's writing for why he doesn't get over.


This is your Gertner wrestling news of the day.

[Tazz Dan]

Dude. Your cock ways 196 lbs???? why are you not in the porn industry????

[Bad News Gertner]

I am. My name is Buck Naked

[KaraBoo]

Worst thread ever. Watch the hype video for final battle 10 then watch the steen generico match from that ppv.

[Tazz Dan]

You're new here aren't you?

[KaraBoo]

Kinda. :)

[Keith]

That being said, where's Sin Cara? Is he hurt again or something?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes. He had another surgery to his knee.

[Bad News Gertner]

He's exactly the opposite of the rasslers the company needs to be signing.

[KaraBoo]

6'6 300 lbs with tribal tattoos?

[MoFo]

Hes pretty funny IMO.

Havent seen anything of him in the last like, 3/4 years though b/c ROH is trash.

[Keith]

WWE is still trying to find "the next Rey Mysterio". That's all.

[KaraBoo]

lol no he will get repackaged all kinds! I hope not tho.

[Shisen Kopf]

WWE shoulda signed El Dandy. Never heard of this El Generico Taco Loco guy

[Tazz Dan]

WWE needs to re-sign Nathan Jones.

[KaraBoo]

WWE shoulda signed El Dandy. Never heard of this El Generico Taco Loco guy

he is a red headed pasty guy from canada. Who only speaks french

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Good for him. Not sure why WWE signed him though. I think he's going to end up adjusting a lot of his style.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

¡Ole!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Love El Generico

[Supreme Olajuwon]

BRAINBUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Bad News Gertner]

6'6 300 lbs with tribal tattoos?

Actually yes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If you don't like El Generico you are a huge fag.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm just sayin

[Supreme Olajuwon]

"I don't care for El Generico" is the exact phrase this one guy said before he had gay butt anal gay sex with another man.


Think about it.

[Tazz Dan]

"I don't care for El Generico" is the exact phrase this one guy said before he had gay butt anal gay sex with another man.


Think about it.

Which part are we thinking about? Your basis for your statement, or the gay butt anal gay sex?

[Tazz Dan]

I'M SO CONFUSED. YOU NEED TO CLARIFY!!!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Exactly.

[Shisen Kopf]

he is a red headed pasty guy from canada. Who only speaks french

No, that's the dude from Nickelback you're thinking of.

[Skippord]

WWE finally found their new Latin star

[mike adamle]

His character is made for children, really curious to see what they do with him. Does he keep his name? The gimmick too?

[Bad News Gertner]

They have to, because what else are you gonna do with a skinny white guy

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Never heard of him. His name seems pretty bad though.

[Rammsteinmad]

I like him, but he seems a lot more suited for the Indys.

[Rammsteinmad]

Either way, he's probably accomplished a lot more than any of us ever will, so good for him. :y:

[Skippord]

El Generico is the best

Fuck the H8ers

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Some people are worried that Generico will be "ruined" and he'll just be turned into another run of the mill guy. It seems like the worry is unfounded. WWE have been fantastic with barely altering an indy guys' schtick when they've brought them in recently.

At worst, they get watered down into a more one-dimensional form of their existing persona; there's really very little discernible difference between Kassius Ohno and Chris Hero, or Antonio Cesaro and Claudio Castagnoli, for example. It's not like we're going to see Kevin Steen, wrestling electrician any time soon.</font>

[Chavo Classic]

He'll last as long as 'Scotty Goldman' did.

I like Generico, but he just doesn't fit in to the WWE in any shape or form.

[mike adamle]

Why doesn't he fit in? What's wrong with him. If people the size of Daniel Bryan can find their place in WWE there is no reason why El Generico can't.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

A Canadian-Fake Mexican? How could that not fit in the WWE? I'm surprised they didn't try that already.

<img src="http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/ep_trending/public/video/thumb/2012/03/20090810_raw_calgarykid.jpg" id="il_fi" height="361" width="642" style="padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px;">

Close enough.

[mike adamle]

He's so kid friendly. Isn't that what WWE is about? How doesn't that fit in?

[Chavo Classic]

Daniel Bryan has been extremely lucky. Before he won the US Title I really didn't have any hope for him, but there was obviously someone backstage rooting for the guy who gave him that chance. As soon as he won and showed what he could do with guys like the Miz and Ziggler, people started to notice. He was lucky to have a decent feud with the Big Show, who was on top form as a monster face at the time. He was then lucky to be paired with the up-and-coming AJ. He was lucky his catchphrase caught on, and he's now lucky to be in this top spot with Kane.

I'm not degrading his abilities or character, he's worked hard and improved his mic skills and charisma to levels I didn't think were possible; but in terms of using him as a benchmark for what other indy guys can do, I don't think it's comparable. Bryan has had a tonne of breaks in his favour.

Generico doesn't have the look or the fanbase to the extent Punk or Bryan did. Let's not forget that those two were "the guys" in the independents along with Joe for years. Generico is a top guy, but he's not "the guy" - he doesn't have the same level of passionate support from the smark world or IWC. He's immensely talented and entertaining, but you won't get anywhere on those things alone.

[Shisen Kopf]

WWE will repackage him and he'll prob end up be a comedy character and then get future endeavored in a year. Best case scenario is that he ends up like the eternal buffoon Santino Marella and has a long run being a retard.

He does have quite the following actually. And maybe he won't be as big as someone like Punk or Bryan, but he's already got a bigger following than people like Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose had before coming into the WWE, and they seem to be doing fine and are being pushed. You're right, Generico's following isn't as big as Bryan or Punk, which means he might not have as much success as them, but to say he doesn't fit on or have a place in WWE is ridiculous, his character is made to entertain and have kids get behind him.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It's kinda weird to think that the WWE roster in 2013 could include CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Tyler Black, Jon Moxley, Brodie Lee, El Generico, Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, Matt Sydal, PAC, Mistico, and Paul Heyman.

That reads like one of those EWR games where you just raid the indies right away. Or Gertner's worst nightmare.</font>

[mike adamle]

And rumor has it they wanna sign Sami Callihan too.

[Chavo Classic]

It's not ridiculous, it's more likely than unlikely that he won't make the grade.

Comparing him to Rollins and Ambrose who have been called up as part of one of the biggest angles of last year, against the biggest rising name in the company and as part of the hottest stable is also a fallacy of logic. I guarantee Generico won't be given the same opportunity as those two.

I just don't think he'll make it. He might not even get out of FCW, and if he does, it won't be for long.

[Shisen Kopf]

And rumor has it they wanna sign Sami Callihan too.


Stop making up names. Oh wait I can too it too. Rumor is WWE is gonna sign German indy star Herr Hundhausen. Hopefully he doesn't mess up and end up in Vince's dog house.

And rartings are at an all time low. Coincidence? Nope, stop hiring these 6"2 215 guys with zero physique.

[Skippord]

I bet he'll be called El Normalo in WWE

[Shisen Kopf]

At least with all these new little Oompa Loompas getting signed, Hornswoggle will have some competition.

[Cool King]

I've not seen a whole lot from El Generico but I have came across some of his matches and promos in the past and I can see what mike adamle is talking about and I pretty much agree with him.

I can imagine Generico being heavily used on Saturday Morning Slam or being in a comedic tag team with Santino. That's only if the WWE keep the El Generico character, which I'm pretty sure they will.

Other than that, I can't really imagine him amounting to anything else in the WWE. If he was to be a champion, it would most likely be Tag Team Champion with Santino, but that's it.

[Flash Funk]

Don't know much about him, but no way the WWE lets him keep his current character. I believe CM Punk will be the last to do that.

[Skippord]

I wonder if he'll get to use the brainbuster

[mike adamle]

Don't know much about him, but no way the WWE lets him keep his current character. I believe CM Punk will be the last to do that.

I don't think it's about WWE letting him keep it. It's about Generico signing the name over to WWE. Which I don't think he's dumb enough not to do, this is as big as he could possibly get, this is the most he could get out of the character. And the character and how he plays the character is the reason WWE is signing him.

[Schlomey]

I have never seen a match so I'm kind of disappointed that nobody has posted any. Off to YouTube to form my own opinion.

[mike adamle]

It's not ridiculous, it's more likely than unlikely that he won't make the grade.

Comparing him to Rollins and Ambrose who have been called up as part of one of the biggest angles of last year, against the biggest rising name in the company and as part of the hottest stable is also a fallacy of logic. I guarantee Generico won't be given the same opportunity as those two.

I just don't think he'll make it. He might not even get out of FCW, and if he does, it won't be for long.

But like you said, you didn't think Daniel Bryan would get the opportunities they got. No one thought Ambrose or Rollins would be getting used but look where they are now. If Generico isn't gonna be given those same opportunities then why are they bothering signing him in the first place? He's gonna pay his dues in NXT and then probably find his way on Saturday Morning Slam to entertain the kids.

[mike adamle]

If they're gonna go with similarities to his indy character I see him being paired up with Brodus Clay similar to how he was with Kevin Steen in the indies. Then when they wanna turn Clay into the monster heel he can be you have it set up already by having him turn on the loveable small babyface.

[mike adamle]

Again, not main event scene stuff, but that most likely isn't why they're bringing him in.

[mike adamle]

Stop making up names. Oh wait I can too it too. Rumor is WWE is gonna sign German indy star Herr Hundhausen. Hopefully he doesn't mess up and end up in Vince's dog house.

Sami Callihan is some small emo faggot who has really good rasslin' matches. Him and Dean Ambrose are about the only 2 good things CZW has ever produced.

[steveweiser]

WWE could have saved money and just had Shaemus wear a mask a la Hulk Hogan/Captain America, can't wait to see these two side by side

[Schlomey]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mmK1i2JCIGI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


This guy sucks? While I haven't watched a full match yet I would say that I'm impressed with his move set.

He is using some old standards, modifying classic moves to fit his style and most importantly he has some pretty original and innovative stuff.

Moving on to watching a full match and will post it later with thoughts.

[Shisen Kopf]

Sami Callihan is some small emo faggot who has really good rasslin' matches. Him and Dean Ambrose are about the only 2 good things CZW has ever produced.

What about the technical legend The Necro Butcher?!

[mike adamle]

Necro is the most talented death match wrestler they've ever produced, but he had as much glory as he's gonna get. He was an alright brawler, but that's about all he could do when you didn't give him weapons.

[Schlomey]

He is a self admitted hack job (necro). No training and really no skill other than his ability to absorb pain.

[Kane Knight]

Worst thread ever. Watch the hype video for final battle 10 then watch the steen generico match from that ppv.

You ever notice wrestling fans seem to be fairly unique in the notion that they can someone convert anyone or everyone simply by listing matches like they will somehow change your world?

[Kane Knight]

I'm impressed with his move set.
lol move set. What is this, a video game?

[drave]

Best thing that happened to Bryan in WWE was losing in 18 seconds to Sheamus and the following RAW where everyone came out in support.

From there the "yes yes yes ---- oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh" stuff really exploded.

Generico on the other hand, can be a great asset. he seems to be in slow mo in the air which is great. He may not be "THE" guy, but not every single wrestler can be I guess. I am all for roster diversification, it keeps things fresh.

[Schlomey]

lol move set. What is this, a video game?

Don't be a dick. It's a fairly common term used when describing the moves a wrestler uses in the ring.

[drave]

Don't be a dick. It's a fairly common term used when describing the moves a wrestler uses in the ring.

Yes Scholmez.... the PC term is "Repertoire". C'MON MAN SRS BSNSS!

:rofl:

[mike adamle]

I kinda figured El Generico would be the one to take the ROH World title off of Kevin Steen, I wonder who's gonna do that. Jay Lethal maybe?

[Kane Knight]

Don't be a dick. It's a fairly common term used when describing the moves a wrestler uses in the ring.

And it's still ridiculous. Don't be a dick.

[mike adamle]

Maybe Michael Elgin. Other than that I really don't know.

[drave]

And it's still ridiculous. Don't be a dick.

Please do tell, oh omniscient one, what is the proper PREFERRED term to describe a set of moves used on a consistent basis from an individual performer.


BA*

:cool:

[Schlomey]

Yes please tell me what term you want me to use in the future to avoid contact with the 3 star troll of TPWW.

[Fignuts]

And it's still ridiculous. Don't be a dick.

Totally ridiculous to call a set of moves a wrestler performs, a moveset.

Kane Knight, bang on as always.

[mike adamle]

Really think they signed him to pair him up with Brodus Clay the more I think about it, Just fits him and Kevin Steen so perfectly.

[Fignuts]

He has the physique of Zach Gowen.

Dunno how well that's gonna work.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Kane Knight's entire moveset is stretching for the donuts.

[Rollermacka]

Necro is the most talented death match wrestler they've ever produced, but he had as much glory as he's gonna get. He was an alright brawler, but that's about all he could do when you didn't give him weapons.

Being the most talented yardie? Isn't that like being the smartest kid with Down Syndrome?

[Hanso Amore]

Kane Knight's entire moveset is stretching for the donuts.

Kane Knight is pioneering a very precise kata with the fake Katana he bought at a flee market, I will have you know.

[Hanso Amore]

OHHHHH GOOOOOOOD ONE! Never heard that before!

[Hanso Amore]

He has the physique of Zach Gowen.

Dunno how well that's gonna work.

Well he already "has a LEG UP on Zach Gowen"

/Rollermacka

[Hanso Amore]

But yeah, Probably the worst idea for a signing ever.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Necro Butcher had a speaking role in an Oscar nominated movie

what have you pussies done with your lives?

[Cuse8]

Necro Butcher had a speaking role in an Oscar nominated movie

is he the guy in "the wrestler" during the death match or whatever its called?

Necro Butcher was a very respectful young man during his time with Randy the Ram

[Cuse8]

that's him

i never knew that.. thank you for teaching me something new today

[Supreme Olajuwon]

you're welcome!

[Shadrick]

supreme always droppin balls of knowledge in your mouth

[Schlomey]

After watching a match a few quick notes on El Generico:

For a Lucha sytle wrestler he really isn't all that fluid.
If he does make it to the main roster in WWE he needs a full body suit similar to what MVP wore to cover up the fact that he has the body of a wet noodle.



on an unrelated note: Claudio and Hero's tag team The Kings of Wrestling HAS to show up in WWE someday....

[Bad News Gertner]

Kassisus Ohno might be the worst of the all. He's flabby, boring in the ring and boring on the mic. No thanks.

[Schlomey]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Hs7U4w1Bm2M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Honestly a fun 10 minutes

[Keith]

I think El Generico would fit nicely with "The Shield". He'd be a nice weapon for them to have.

[Schlomey]

Kassisus Ohno might be the worst of the all. He's flabby, boring in the ring and boring on the mic. No thanks.

I'll think he'll make a great tag team partner but as a WWE main event superstar I'll have to wait to pass any sort of judgement.

[Curd]

I think El Generico would fit nicely with "The Shield". He'd be a nice weapon for them to have.

I guess Mr. Non-Brand can be the human lawn dart they fling at opponents and otherwise bump around like a ragdoll to make the Shield's opponents look better until either of the other three tags in, much like Spike Dudley did with Bubba and D-Von.

[Keith]

[Curd]

He'd be what X-Pac was in DX.

That, too. Good call.

[The Rogerer]

What a dickhead Kane Knight is

[Bad News Gertner]

El Generico isn't in X Pac's league

[Curd]

El Generico isn't in X Pac's league

Generico = Poor jobber's <del>XPac</del> 1-2-3 Kid

[mike adamle]

Speaking of X-Pac, El Generico's match last year against the 1-2-3 Kid is a classic.

[Curd]

Speaking of X-Pac, El Generico's match last year against the 1-2-3 Kid is a classic.

The references are coming full circle! Synergy... maybe that'll be Generico's WWE name! :shifty:

[mike adamle]

Couldn't find it on youtube, it's from Chikara's King Of Trios 2011 Night 3. Real fun match.

[Kane Knight]

Yes please tell me what term you want me to use in the future to avoid contact with the 3 star troll of TPWW.

You could just discuss his ring ability without acting like his "move set" was at all relative.

This is the whole John Cena thing.

Flea market.

I'm happy for you.

[St. Jimmy]

They have to, because what else are you gonna do with a skinny white guy

Let him carry the company and the title for 400+ days. Also watch him take a shit on The Rock's chest.

http://oi46.tinypic.com/2m2zz9j.jpg

[Bad News Gertner]

Carrying the company to a 2.7 rating. Fantastic.

[Kane Knight]

http://oi46.tinypic.com/2m2zz9j.jpg

I really hope you're posting that "ironically" or something, because that's fucking hilarious.

Carrying the company to a 2.7 rating. Fantastic.

And dropping.

But smarks want WWE to be like an indie fed, don't they? So I guess it's headed in the right direction.

[Bad News Gertner]

Pretty soon they'll be only doing IPPV's like the REAL wrestling companies do.

[drave]

But are they headed toward the indie fed style because that is just the next generation of "stars" and they didn't bother to prepare? Or is there just not any other talent available?

I don't follow the indies too much anymore, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Everyone had their start somewhere, right? If some people have decent experience but are still green, they can be given the chance to change/evolve within the organization or even FCW.

It's not that they are from the indies. I LOVE Brodie Lee who is now Luke Harper in NXT. It's the constant hiring of undersized wrestlers who are boring as all hell but smarks drool over them because they have high workrate

[Shisen Kopf]

The real question that needs to be asked hasn't been asked. Kinda disappointed in all of you: Did he rassle Bobby Jaggers?

[Kane Knight]

Golly Gee Wizz I can't wait to be a cranky old man, too! Do you take 11 minutes to make a right hand turn as well?

You're a Jew. You'll beat me to that, man.
