View Full Version : Did I just hear myself say.... THREE MINUTES?
World Wrestling Entertainment recently signed Eddie "Ekmo" Fatu, who previously worked for the company as Jamal of Three Minute Warning to a new deal, bringing him back to the company for the first time in several years. Three Minute Warning had a run as Eric Bischoff's thug tag team in 2002 and 2003 before Jamal was released in the wake of a personal situation. TMW had a long run in the WWE developmental program using the team name "The Island Boys" prior to being brought up. Using the Ekmo name, he had worked for TNA, All Japan Pro Wrestling (where he challenged for the Triple Crown) and the now-defunct Major League Wrestling. Of late, Ekmo had been appearing for Nu-Wrestling in Italy, which is booked by Rikishi. Given that Rosey has been off WWE programming of late, it's possible there are creative plans to reunite TMW, but that has not been confirmed.
I could see them setting up something very subtly where he books Rosey in a match (tag or not) and Bischoff says that he goes on "in three minutes"...

Well these guys were apart of the first RAW/SmackDown feud. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens this time.

i could see this one working. this coming monday night, eric has a "closed door" meeting with rosey which is shown quickly on camera. vince and shane come out at the end to "take out the trash" and they call bischoff out to the ring. the 3 of them go back and forth for a bit and then eric comes out and says "if you two are going to fire me, you have THREE MINUTES to do it". out of the crowd runs rosey and jamal to kick the shit out of the mcmahon boys.
i like it.
Actually, that would be perfect.
Hey, do you think they'll get someone to be a Thug In Training?

If that is the plan, I don't think that even these writers could fuck it up.

I liked the 3 minute warning, plus they were part of one of my favourite angles of this decade.
Looks like the WWE really are trying to get the tag scene back in check, good!

Nah, they already used the T.I.T on the Terri Invitaional Tournament back in 99. Although we are not ment to remember that far back.

I was just thinking about bringing Jamal back and putting him back with Rosey just a couple of days ago.
It would be cool, if Rico was with them.
But I could see it now, Cena is unstoppable ( :roll: ) and Bischoff says that Cena has a match. So Cena is in the ring, and Bischoff comes out and he says this. "OK, Cena. Are you ready for your match? *Evil Smile* Well ladies and gentlemen, the following match is for one fall, and has a 3 minute time limit....
*The crowd can't believe that the time limit is that short*
Wait a minute!....Did I just hear myself say THREE minutes?"
(8) Three minutes and were outta here. The clock is ticking and we're in the clear.(8)
3 Minute Warning come out and kill Cena.:cool:

I was gonna say. Hardly strikes me as the time they'd choose to not repeat themselves.

I loved TMW. They were huge, strong, agile, and super quick. I really hope we get Rosey and Jamal as a tag team. They were awesome in the six man tag team table match at Survivor Series 2002.

As soon as I heard Jamal was coming back, I immediately thought of a very similiar scenario to this.
Shane McMahon calls out Eric Bischoff, and dresses him down. Eric Bischoff then gets on the mic and says he wants another chance to prove himself. Jus give him...3 minutes. Rosey & Jamal then lay a beating on Shane McMahon (one that only Shane McMahon can take), and they stand tall with Eric Bischoff. Eric announces a Handicap Match later on, with 3 Minute Warning facing John Cena.
This is probably a really unpopular idea, but you could even add the stipulation that the Island Boy who pins Cena becomes WWE Champion. Neither Rosey and Jamal are perfect technicians, but both are better than they are creditted for, and neither would be the worst WWE Champion of all time. It can highlight their presence as a tag team, and it could lead to possible feuds.
Can you imagine how Gregory Helms would feel after dumping Rosey only for him to pin John Cena and become WWE Champion?
I'm not saying give Rosey or Jamal a long reing with the belt, just have them beat John Cena with a two-on-one advantage, and then have tem hold the belt for a week before Eric Bischoff vacates it on the following RAW. He can then be about to present Kurt Angle with it, when Vince McMahon walks out and inform Bischoff that although he approves of Bischoff finally achieving his goal, he won't be awarding the title to anybody.
There's your set-up for the Elimination Chamber at New Year's Revolution. A vacant title is how they set-up the earlier this year, but originality is not the WWE's thing, and they don't exactly seem to be taking strides towards a Chamber at NYR at the present time. They seem to have two seperate programs going on between John Cena/Kurt Angle and Triple H/Big Show. A vacant title can bring these all together.
Hell, you could even give the 3 Minute Warning member that wins the title (I'd probably choose Rosey since he's been with the company longer, and is a former World Tag Team Champion) a place in the Chamber, and have them bump like crazy and get eliminated early on to give the other guys in the match main event credibility.

If they do, they should have him assault audience plants, just so we can hear the line:
"Oh my GOD! The S.H.I.T. just hit THE FAN!!!"

Favourite memory of TMW, Golddust had that midget (I forget his name, i didnt really care) and TMW almost killed the midget it was the funniest thing ever, because i think Rosey got on the turnbuckle and body splashed the tiny midget.
OR, Shane hires TMW and tell Bishoff that has three minutes to leave and then get killed by TMW....somewhere along the lines of that..
