Rate The Wrestler - Day 157 - "Primetime" Elix Skipper

[DaveWadding]

WOO! Your new host with the least here, Dave Wadding. This day marks a new era in RTW, the era where I run the show. I promised to not piss on the RTW legacy, so...we'll see how long it takes for me to actually piss on it.

AAAAAAnyways, I already have the next few days set up as I will be doing both members of the World's Greatest Tag Team and America's Most Wanted in subsequent days.

However, let's not get too caught up in the future...in fact, let's take a trip down Memory Lane...to yesterday, where Maven scored a respectable (for him anyways) 65.

For today, we have one half of one of MY favorite (former :'() tag teams and the person who pulled off probably the sickest spot in TNA history in the arguably the Match of the Year of 2004: "Primetime" Elix Skipper!

It's PRIME TIME, BABY!

[Mister Sinister]

Nice Introduction my friend...I really do wish you luck in the future, and you know that I, and proberly Funky have your backing....

Anyways...Primetime scores a 8.2

He's High on Ring Ability, decent star power and charisma

[KayfabeMan]

8

[Corkscrewed]

8

A solid worker, good charisma, excellent flyer.

[Dave Youell]

8, doesn't get any higher because his face looks like a newt.

Congrats to Mr. Wadding on becoming the successor to Rate The Wrestler. Like my man HS said, I do indeed have your back. Just PM me when something comes up.

And of course, I'll continue to do the stick/unstick as is necessary.

Anyway, on to Elix. 8.2

He's good, but not quite great yet. He's still a little rough around the edges, but if he ever gets picked up by WWE, they'll turn him into a star (provided they don't Tazz him first).

[SuperSlim]

9.5

I so badly want to give him a 10 but he doesn't warrent it.

sadly I do remember when WWE had him. He even got to do a match way back then. After they bought out WCW. I was hyped and excited to see it. Then WWE did one of the dumbest things. They dropped him.

Maybe, big maybe they'll look now and see what huge mistake they made and beg him to come.

[Innovator]

He gets a 9 alone for walking the cage :drool:

[mike627]

9.9 I have seen that spot several times and it still is awesome.

[John la Rock]

damn good in the ring

Just curious, why did you stop doing this helmpsphere?

I'm giving it up, because I don't have time, they are killing me, in terms of hours at work...Next Week, I work close to 70 Hours....

[Eunos]

No fair i wanted to take over :( .. Ah well thats life.

Anyway i give Skipper an 8... Havent seen an awful lot of him but from what i have seen it was all good stuff.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Been a fan of Elix since his WCW days. 8.7</font>

[Crashnburn]

8 for ring ability. His mic skills still need work.


I know his move is called the Play of the Day but I was reading the recap of the Against All Odds and the person said that Skipper hit the Sudden Death for the win and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what this move is.

[KayfabeMan]

THIS IS MY HOUSE. I BUILT THIS HOUSE. :mad:

[James Steele]

8.5

He is amazing, and the awesome thing is that he is only going to get better!

[DaveWadding]

THIS IS MY HOUSE. I BUILT THIS HOUSE. :mad:
I :love: joo mang :kiss:

[HardyBoyz612]

9.5 for the sick cage walk:) BTW, the Sudden Death looks exactly like an Emerald Fusion, if you know what that is. Very painful looking move, if you ask me

[Hired Hitman]

9 - I wasn't too much of a fan in wcw, but in nwa he is so god damn good, The Six Sided CAge match was awesome. so yeah, he gets a 9 :)

[MVP]

8 seems fair.

[The Answer]

8.5

[SammyG]

Y'all didnt know who built this house, prime time did, prime time did, show me the green and watch me go, primetime skills, primetime skills....

[Funky Fly]

That doesn't help as much as you'd think, considering there are like 3 versions of the Emerald Fusion.
