Maybe Big Show. He turns more than Top Man (aka- the most USELESS Mega Man boss).


#1-norm-fan 11-26-2014 05:02 AM

How many turns did he have in WCW? I'm thinking at least 4 or 5.

Dungeon of doom to face against now
Face against now to joining nwo
Turning face again and feuding with Nash

That's all I remember

That's all I remember

<font color=goldenrod>Those are all right. Then he turned heel again to join nWo Black and White around Spring 1998 and he stayed with them until December or so when he disappeared.

I think he also turned semi-face in his final night with the company although I'd need to watch the episode to remember how it all went down. He showed up after the nWo factions had merged and they beat the shit out of him and spraypainted him.</font>

Evil Vito 11-26-2014 10:20 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I've said this in the Raw thread, but Big Show has to be one of, if not the worst booked character in history. They turn him at an alarming rate, and each time he turns they fizzle out on him within a month or two. Then he's just sorta there until someone thinks they should try and make him relevant again, at which point they decide the quickest way to do it is to turn him again.

Not to mention the big strong powerful giant being reduced to a big crybaby almost every time he goes face. I could understand maybe having someone break him down emotionally once...but every single time he goes face?

It's a shame too, because I actually like the Big Show. Maybe it's because I grew up with WCW and he's one of the few WCW alumni still wrestling. I feel like he could have actually been someone would pay to see lose to the underdog hero after he had a run terrifying the rest of the roster with his size. But he's shifted around so much that there's very little reason to get emotionally invested in anything his character does. Imagine if they had booked Andre the Giant this way?</font>

Some Lionheart guy made a big long post about how AJ should stop using it.

Was it AJ's fault or was it like the ROH incident where the other dude fucked up?

Emperor Smeat 11-26-2014 07:06 PM

Similar to the ROH and recent incidents where Yoshi tucked his head during the move.

Think the ROH guy was his 2nd time getting injured by that move and both from tucking his head.

James Steele 11-26-2014 07:15 PM

When did Yoshi get released? I fucking loved Yoshi Tatsu.

James Steele 11-26-2014 07:15 PM

AJ should quit using it because it is a stupid looking finisher.

CSL 11-26-2014 07:43 PM

had a decent length back and forth with some spastic on Twitter about this earlier. He should drop the move for sure

Lionheart is a UK guy, popular in Scotland. Legit had his neck broken via Styles Clash earlier this year

it is but the kicker is that it defies pretty much the very first thing you have drilled into you when you train to be a wrestler, or at least when you first take bumps which is "tuck your head". You could do that move 100 times without incident in a training session, before a show etc and 100 times it would be fine. Change that to 30 minutes into a match when you're exhausted, running on instincts/muscle memory, in front of giant loud audience, get hoisted upside down and it's an easy mistake to make. I could understand if the move was over as fuck or looked great and whatnot but it's not and it pretty much always looks a bit shit. Baffles me that he still uses it.

I dunno, I feel like you could say that about a lot of moves though. Not specifically the head positioning thing but just taking them just right.

WWE officials were still considering John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins for next month's TLC pay-per-view but Orton's return could be held off until that show. Erick Rowan vs. Big Show is also scheduled for TLC, likely in a gimmick match.

Emperor Smeat 11-27-2014 01:37 AM

If anyone is interested, CM Punk was on the Art of Wrestling podcast this week and besides talking about his time in the WWE (both good and bad), also revealed stuff that eventually lead to him suddenly leaving.

The thing that broke the straw was him getting a concussion at the Rumble and the mess regarding how the WWE wanted to handle his medical tests.

that's the specific problems with this, it's all about the head. I can't think of another move (off the top of my head, obviously not counting things like Flapjacks where the momentum does everything for you) where tucking your head is the opposite of what you're supposed to do, you always tuck your head. That's what causes the injuries, either guys tucking their head or AJ being like 5'9 and the head being way too close to the floor. There's no doubt a certain amount of responsibility lies with the ones that tucked their heads but a much larger amount of responsibility lies with AJ knowing how easily that mistake can be made "in the heat of the moment". There's no excuse for him to carry on using it. A one off is unlucky, for it to have happened at least 5 or 6 times that I'm personally aware of and to have two guys break their necks in the last 6-7 months is a problem that needs addressing.

It's a shit looking move anyways to be honest.

CSL 11-27-2014 01:32 PM

really is, that's probably the daftest part of the whole thing

Maluco 11-27-2014 02:01 PM

Totally with CSL on this, it now seems like the mistake is one that could be made by anyone at any time, because it is now a regular thing. There is no excuse to keep using the move.

Actually think it is really irresponsible and selfish on his part that he hasn't stopped. It has already caused people a lot of suffering and it could kill someone someday.

It is a wresting move at the end of the day, and we are talking about peoples' lives and health and jobs...

The main event, likely a ladder or tables match or something related to the main theme, was talked about last week as Cena vs. Rollins vs. Orton, but Orton’s return could be held off until that show. The only thing is Orton is scheduled to return any week now and he, Reigns, Mysterio and Lesnar are all to be regular figures on television starting very soon. It also appears there will be a Nikki Bella vs. A.J. Lee Divas title match.

AJ Lee is not leaving WWE, despite rumors to the contrary. We killed off the rumor last week in Ask WNW but new questions surfaced following her booking at Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view. It was there, AJ was put under Nikki Bella in less than a minute after Brie distracted her with a kiss.

We can confirm AJ Lee is on the booking sheets for several upcoming shows and remains under a WWE Performer’s Contract. The booking of Brie and her re-alliance with Nikki is part of a heel turn.
So Brie really did turn heel and the whole feud leading to the butler stip was for nothing in the end.

Quote:

The Total Divas reality series has significant influence on the booking of WWE storylines. We reported earlier this month how the push of Tyson Kidd was in direct connection to the producers of Total Divas being high up on the Nattie/TJ segments. That followed our October report, where we previewed the push before it happened.

Some other sheet news include TNA signing Josh Matthews as their lead announce and trying to get Mike Teenay to resign with them so he doesn't go to Jeff Jarrett's GFW.
