Cryme TYMe! yay or nay?

[Crimson]

yay.
Seems like we're back in the early 90's with gimmicks like the Highlanders and now this..but I don't mind..better than what they have in the tag division now!

[Better Than You]

poll? also yay

[D Mac]

WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY

[Better Than You]

New tag team they started to promo on tonight on rAW

[D Mac]

I know that but what are the guys names and have they wrestled before?

[D Mac]

Also, I had a flashback of The Gangstas when I saw this promo.

[Fignuts]

Yeah dunno how they are going to get away with this.

[AJHayes]

I can sense Spike Lee's anger from where I sit.

[Skippord]

YAY

[Funky Fly]

I died a little inside when I saw that.

Well, better go pre-order their T-shirts.

[Mr. JL]

I thought the skit was pretty stupid.

[Blitz]

'twill no doubt be one of the gimmicks that everyone hates right now but will be heaping praise upon in a month or so.

[Destor]

It's awesome, should be a great heel team. But I'm worried they will be pushed as face with a "lie, cheat, and steal" gimmick.

[Mr. JL]

^

& that they are motivated by Eddie Guerrero's character and embody his spirit. Then Rey Mysterio will show up and say nobody can ride Eddie's coatails except for himself. Which will then bring out Chavo, who will be followed by Vickie.

Before we know it, we'll have another two months full of "Eddie" stuff that is not in good taste.

[D Mac]

I know that but what are the guys names and have they wrestled before?


????????????

[Destor]

Considering I only know their WWE handles I don't think I can find anything on them Diesel. I tried though.

[6to1]

i like lax better

[Kane Knight]

Meh.

WORST. PROMO VIDEO. EVER. :wtf: :nono: :shifty:

[XL]

I quite enjoyed that video!

The voiceover made it hilarious though so I don't know how it will work past these promo vids! Hell it's another TAG TEAM for a division that seems to be getting it's bi-annual attention from the bookers. (No doubt they will debut, win a No. 1 Contender match, win the belts on their first try and split up once they lose them)


PEACE OUT!

[Kane Knight]

You know, on Smackdown, JBL even took a shot at the lackluster tag division (Prior to these new groups).

OF course, that was Smackdown's titles, but apparently, even we're supposed to be aware.

[Corkscrewed]

I think it's fucking priceless. It's politically incorrect, but who cares? It's parody.

I personally love it. :lol:

[Fox]

I say give it time. If we can love a guy acting like a retard, we can eventually come to love this.

[Y2Jeremy]

Nay for now. It seems to more of a stereotype than a parody. Maybe they will be entertaining, but I don't think so.

August 7, 2005 - RAW: The Gang Stars (Shad Gaspard & Neighborhoodie) defeated Charlie Haas & Rob Conway in a dark match..


LOL This was thier only other time on Raw.

[Anybody Thrilla]

They've had one fucking promo.

[Destor]

And we are talking about said promo and the possibilities of the gimmick. Point?

[D Mac]

http://www.wrestlingworld.it/Historical/Tagteamgallery/gangstasmustaphasaednewjack.jpg

We've seen this before.

[Anybody Thrilla]

And we are talking about said promo and the possibilities of the gimmick. Point?

You might just wanna let it ride out a little more is all I'm saying.

[Destor]

Just giving the first impresions. Nothing set in stone.

[XL]

Nay for now. It seems to more of a stereotype than a parody. Maybe they will be entertaining, but I don't think so.

Dude the voiceover MAKES it a parody!!

Without the VO I would say it seems like a stereotype. With the VO it is blatantly a parody!

Come on jump on board the Cryme Tyme Train!

(Try saying that 3 times fast)
I bet you someone types it three times now

[Kane Knight]

The line between satire and offense is often a very blurred one.

Me? I barely paid attention to the promo. I didn't find it that funny, but I didn't find it any more racist than half of broadcast TV 90% of cable. Actually, I think they'd have to spend a two minute promo eating fried chicken, drinking malt liquor, and smoking pot while calling each other nigga ad nauseum to be more racist than cable.

I don't overtly hate the gimmick, but neither do I really like it.

[Destor]

The word 'meh' could have saved you some time.

[Savio]

Yay

I like how it shows us the majority of what african americans are like and not the fake ones we call ABT

[ClockShot]

Like I said in the Raw thread last night. It's M.O.M. redux.

But, since a thing called the tag team division exists, and there are spots to be filled. Yay I say. For now.

[Kane Knight]

The word 'meh' could have saved you some time.

Already used it, but since people were arguing over whether it was a stereotype or parody....

...Sorry, that probably escaped you.

[Destor]

Apparently my post went over your head.

[Kane Knight]

At this point, I just assume you mean the most linear and brainless thing possible, as that's generally true. I'm sorry I missed the "deeper meaning" of a post whose meaning was rather obvious and pointless.

[Destor]

So obvious you failed to understand? Speaks volumes. Now go ahead and give some speech how it was beneath you or something.

[Anybody Thrilla]

People who get offended about this being stereotypical shouldn't be fans of Finlay either.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Big time yay :cool:

Homeboy thought he was selling a smoothie.....but the only thing smooth was the way Cryme Tyme got the money out of the drawer</font>

[Kane Knight]

Hypocrisy? In wrestling?

I've never heard of such a thing. ;)

[M-A-G]

Haha, I sort of did something similar on EWR. I made a team called the Thug Life Soldiers. Man they were hella over. Not sure how this gonna pan out though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

<font color=goldenrod>Big time yay :cool:

Gotta say, that was quite hilarious.

These guys aren't like The Gangstas in ECW, either. New Jack and Mustafa were posed as actual gangstas, while these guys are obviously a joke. Should be interesting to see how it pans out, and I think there might be some pretty comical promos in their future.

[Crimson]

Yea the voiceover made it funnier..but even the way these dudes were talking was funny...

And the WWE is filled with stereotypes so why all of a sudden all up in arms over this one? It looks like it could get over anyhow.

[Caged Heat18]

I didn't really think it was that funny, or offensive. However, it is another tag team on Raw so thats a plus, but I'll wait a few more weeks to formulate an opinion on them.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I'll be more bothered if they suck in the ring.

[Savio]

I hope they pop a cap in Mikeys ass.

[Savio]

"Yo I wanna give a shout out to big dirty, pac, platapus-"

[Dave Youell]

According to WWE.com they are hilarious with there Saturday night live stlye antics

[Kane Knight]

Well, it must be true then. :D

[Dave Youell]

Well, it must be true then. :D
Exactly, i'm sold

[Kane Knight]

Me too.

[DominateR]

well I know a lot of you thought Eugene would be a stupid character to have on RAW...and since day 1 the crowd has loved him...I think that cryme tyme can be successful as a heel tag team for sure.

[Kane Knight]

well I know a lot of you thought Eugene would be a stupid character to have on RAW...

And amazingly, 90% of us went back to thinking it was stupid after the novelty wore off. And then the fans started turning on him in the arenas. Are you sure you don't want to pick a better example?

Sure, it's an example of "You might be surprised," But it didn't take very long for the surprise to wear off, and for business to return to usual. In other words, in the longterm, the naysayers were really right.

[Savio]

People thought matt hardy made the wrong decision when he went back to the WWE but hey he's the only one that beat kennedy 1 on 1

:shifty:

[Rob]

Cryme Tyme is the best thing in wrestling since The Zombie.

[addy2hotty]

I hadn't watched Raw before reading this thread, and truely thought that it was said Cry Me Ty Me, and they were some sort of S&M tag team.

Now theres an idea.

[Volare]

I just hope now the WWE dosen't turn them into Cena's Lackys or members of the "Chain Gang"


Or, I hope the find Cena and beat the shit out of him.

You mean like the BAshams?

Oh yeah, how the memories of huge piles of steaming turds disappear so quickly.

[M-A-G]

B...bu....but....but they were the Damaja....and the Machine....:'(

The second one would be amazing
