RIKISHI TO GET A PUSH?!?

[mikenegrin]

inside sources said vince was focusing on rikishi, seeing that he has been in 16 royal rumbles and has never been in a main event, vince said he would try to get rikishi more attention

[MVP]

Bad idea, Rikishi's push back in 1999 was awful because he can't carry good main event matches.

P.S. Cite your inside source

P.S.S. Only one question mark is appropriate, not "?!?"

[Krow]

"Inside" the break room at Circuit City.

[loopydate]

Rikishi has NOT been in 16 Royal Rumbles. This year was the 17th Rumble, and there have been several years without the 'Kish.

By my count, he was only in 10 (1993-1997, 2000-2004).

Damn though, that was a lot. Has anyone else been in that many or more?

[Ricky]

He's got the biggest ass in the world and walks around wearing a thong now if that doesn't get him attention then nothing will.

[wrestling_god]

If Rikishi does get a push it better be a heel push....not another i did it for the rock angle either i mean a true badass heel

[Innovator]

He wants a push? I'll give him one........off a cliff ahahahahahaha hohohoho hehehe (Foley was right, the fake laugh works)

Seriously Rikishi needs to get a new wardrobe, it was funny back in '99, I'm tired of seeing his ass on my tv every week

Also the "!" goes first.

Just working through the numbers. Not quite there yet, but I thought it was sort of interesting that Tito Santana was in each of the first six Royal Rumbles. He was the only one that was in every Rumble from 1988-'93.

[33% God]

Seeing Haku and Rikishi fueding with Taker and Kane wasnt bad because they actually were pretty badass as a tag team when they would **** up people with that claw on the face and then the banzi drop.

Remember the first blood match between taker/kane and rikishi/haku? That was pretty sweet.

[Kristanna Vola]

"Inside" the break room at Circuit City.

Yeah they always have the best sources :D

[Kane Knight]

Good God, no.

Fortunately, I don't put much stock in this, but I wouldn't doubt it either. Let's see...A big fat hoss with some major shock value...That equals facils for everyone within 30 feet of McMahonwhich.

[loopydate]

Okay, here's the numbers on who's been in the most:

Rikishi has been in 10 Rumbles, most out of anyone. This is including entries as Fatu and The Sultan.

Billy Gunn and Kane/Isaac Yankem/New Diesel are tied for second with 8 appearances each.

Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Owen Hart, Jake Roberts, Rick Martel, and Godfather/Goodfather/Papa Shango/Kama Mustafa each have 7.

Steve Austin, Randy Savage, the British Bulldog, and Tito Santana have each been in 6.

And there's a big tie with five each between Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Bob Backlund, Goldust, both members of the APA (including "Blackjack" Bradshaw and NOD Faarooq), Big Boss Man, Test, A-Train/Albert, Barry "Smash/Repo Man" Darsow, Savio "Kwang" Vega, and the greatest technical wrestler of all-time...Mabel/Viscera.

In all, 209 different people have competed in the Royal Rumble.

^ You have way too much time on your hands. :D

[Nowhere Man]

Benoit's off of Smackdown so Triple H can bury him. Goldberg's coming over as his big replacement. Rikishi's getting another doomed push. It just keeps getting better and better.

[Corkscrewed]

Isn't it? Now, if only they can kill of that Eddie Guerrero guy and that John Cena guy whilst merging the Cruiserweight Title to Triple H's World Title at a house show, I'll be set!

[John la Rock]

As long as Crapcore Holly doesn't get another push anytime soon, then I'm fine with Rikishi

[loopydate]

^ You have way too much time on your hands. :D

I gotta do SOMETHING during Simpsons and RAW commercial breaks, right? :)

[seth187]

I seriously cant see Rikishi as a main eventer or being close too it, the way he is not it aint gunna be good....A heal turn would work better for him, but before they do the could someone please tell him to get a new wardrobe cause im sick of seeing the fat ass full of celulite.

[Rock Bottom]

Yeah the ass gimmick really needs to go. I like him when he was fresh as Rikishi, they were working with him decently. His sit-out piledriver was pretty nifty too. Now he is just a blob.

[123 kid]

To be fair rikishi deserves a push but not main event maybe a u.s title run , but the attire has to change ,that ass of his gives me nightmares! And the stinkface.......... doesn't entertain anymore....

[natureboycv]

<font color=8307ff><b>Yeah, I would rather see a source before I buy it.</font></b>

It EVER entertained you? :|

[Cactus Sid]

Also for the record, Rikishi has Main Evented a PPV

[Loose Cannon]

Would it even be at a house show? They will probably end of filming it in Hunter's backyard and then show it on Heat

[Boondock Saint]

Ya, Armageddon 2000 right? 6 man HIAC match?

[Cactus Sid]

[EazyMack]

Heel turn, non-main event push, change in attire (and gimmick, for that matter) = all good ideas.

[Mikey]

They tried to push Rikishi in 2000 he didnt really get to far

[Kane Knight]

Well, it's hard when even an 18 wheeler can't movce your fat ass...;)

[SuperSlim]

they'll manage a way to push him...maybe two 18 wheelers

[c4g2]

^ LOL

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>I can't wait to see more of him on my television.</font>

SPOILER, HIGHLIGHT:

<FONT COLOR=BLACK>Well, apparently he and Scotty won the SD tag title at the taping last night, but being Tag Team Champs didn't keep the Basham's on TV that much...</font>

[SuperSlim]

He is still on mine from the last time he was on. Too much back there

Oh great, just what the tag division needs. I swear I hate these two more then any other people in the WWE. Thier gimmick is as stale as a gimmick can be. I like Scotty, but I just hate his character right now. He needs to turn heel and drop The Kish.

[SuperSlim]

W O R M.

give it a rest
