Did Fonzie burn a bridge at WWE?

[Arnold HamNegger]

It seems like this would be the perfect time to bring Fonzie back, now that RVD is carrying around the MITB briefcase. I know on ONS, in RVD's promo he say's: "If they'd have listened to me Fonzie, you'd have had a job along time ago."

Does anyone know any info? It's possible that WWE just isn't interested, but I'd love to see him back.

Maybe it's because Fonzie's gimmick is fucking annoying

[The One]

And Boogeyman isn't annoying? Clearly that wouldn't stop WWE. Hell they hire normal guys and STICK them in annoying gimmicks.

He MIGHT have burned a bridge at WWE, I know he was a ref there for a while, infact he gets chokeslammed by Gonzalez at Mania IX.

Yes, because clearly WWE is and always has been against having manager's with annoying gimmicks. :roll:

Annoying? I agree with the others (though I kinda like Slick for some reason), but Heenan is the man.

Is it wierd that I thought about Arthur Fonzerelli when I read this thread title

[weather vane]

Fuji and Heenan aren't even remotely annoying. I can maybe see the others but these were all great managers, well besides Yamaguchi and Frenchy Martin. Frenchy wasn't bad though.

Umm, blowing into a whistle for an entire match is very fucking annoying, drowns out commentary, and takes away from the match, IMO.

The managers that HamNEgger posted were not annoying, actually most of them were good.

Also, I don't watch SmackDown!, The One, so I couldn't tell you if Boogeyman is annoying or not.

Simon Dean has been ripping off Fonzie's "blow a whistle real loud and bounce around" gimmick since escorting the Gymini as of late, and he's still got a job...

Well, that's your opinion, which is cool, but others could consider them annoying. For example, I like Heenan but if someone told me that they thought he was annoying, I could totallly see how that's possible. (That's why I included him.) Paul Bearer annoyed the pissfuck out of me, as did Jim Cornette and Capt. Lou...but they are well liked by alot of fans. It just boils down to personal taste. My whole point was that having an annoying gimmick is part of WWE and always has been. To me, Fonzie's whistle blowing is far less annoying than Jimmy Hart's non-stop blabbering in the megaphone IMO and to a certain extent, Melina's shrilled howling at ring-side. I'm not arguing that he's not annoying. Hell, that is the point I believe. The only problem I would see is that in most cases, annoying Manager = heel wrestler. I'm not gonna pull a Vermaat and speak for thousands of people I've never met, but in Fonzie's case, one could argue that anyone who's been a fan of RVD for a long time also is more than likely to like Fonzie too, therefore it would work.

:y:

I just miss RVD when he was with Fonzie. It allowed for an expanded move set/high spots, which is something that RVD has been lacking for quite a while.

MITB Briefcase + Fonzie = Van Terminator DADDY!




Basically, I'M JUST A MARK LOOKING FOR ANSWER'S....:)

Fonzie coming back would be great for RVD, so it will never happen. It is as simple as that.

That sound you just heard is Spilchuk hitting the nail on the head. :yes:

Amen! :lol:

But Fonzie should return, esp if it'll help push RVD more. RVD is a legit World Champion in my book, I just wish those cocks at WWE would give him a run with the strap...
