Admit it- bad angles or wrestlers you liked
 

I thought I'd try my hand at asking a question for some fun conversation. I'm still some what new, so I apologize if this is repetitive.

Any wrestler you were embarrassed to call your favorite? Any angles that were awful, but you liked them anyway?

I loved the goofy Stone Cold Steve Austin. The singing and dancing and hugging was hilarious. I think a lot of people were very against this type of Stone Cold, but I loved it.

I thought the goofy end to the Mae Young / Mark Henry angle was dumb but hilarious. When I was watching I said "where the hell are they gonna go with this...?" and then she gave birth to a hand. lol. ridiculous.

Personally, I was a HUGE Alex Wright mark back in the day. In school, I liked SCSA, Rock, HBK, etc, but I was just as big an Alex Wright, Norman Smiley and Disco Inferno mark. hell, I liked Wrath, Glacier, and La Parka like crazy too

I liked the 'Crash Holly weighs 400 pounds' stuff and Eugene's musical chair game.

In terms of wrestlers, Buff Bagwell, Crowbar and Prince Iaukuea

i always enjoyed public enemy, in every promotion and my friends always made fun of me for it

Jonathan Coachman at a time when no one liked him, I liked.

Dungeon of Doom. loved the whole angle

The Goon

I always enjoyed Billy Kidman, X-Pac, Disco Inferno, La Parka & Nathan Jones....

Crazy Bob Backlund

I thought the Katie Vick angle was hilarious.

Fine I'll admit it, the whole "Moppy" thing kind of grew on me.

and when Perry Saturn ordered a plate of crayons as an appetizer for dinner, following the order up with "the green ones are for fiber."

hahahaha I was going to add moppy, but I just wanted to pick one. But thats the funniest quote ever.

Conversely, that was one of the ONLY times I liked Austin.

Public Enemy was a fun tag team. I always enjoyed watching them hoping they would win everytime.

And Glacier was cool to watch at the beginning cause the arena would keep that blue haze as he would do all that martial arts stuff and win.

I have to say Too Cool and Rikishi dancing is still great.

I love the whole JR is RAW thing. when he set up his own announce table and the whole Oklahoma thing from WCW.

haha same here.

I was a big fan of the hardcore title in WWE, all the way up to the bitter end. Gotta say I've been loving Orlando Jordan's new gimmick so far. Also Ernest "the Cat" Miller was my absolute favorite wrestler back in the day.

i forgot about the cat
i was at a nitro once when a fan jumped in and attacked him, the stuff he said as security dragged him away was awesome

One of my fondest memories of WCW was when The Cat was the GM, and having to constantly defend himself against backstage ninja attacks from the Asian guys(can't think of their names) every week.

Oh yeah I'm a big fan of Jeff Jarrett. Thought he was amazing back in WCW, during the whole slapnuts, thunder thighs, and hippo hips phase.

I was a fan on Glacier, Mortis, and Wrath (Bryan Clarke in general for that matter). I'm also gonna throw Kurrgan and the Truth Commision out there. I still think the original idea of South African militants wasnt bad, or when it became "cult like" under the Jackyll. As far as newer crap goes, I enjoyed Rellik (that's killer spelled backwards) and when Eric Young was afraid of being fired so he would hide in the crowd.

I can honestly say that I marked for Naked Mideon

And I thought Norman Smiley was awesome... And who was that uber gay blonde guy in WCW... ALEX WRIGHT... Yeah I didn't like him though...Stupid Jacket...

Disco Inferno though I'd argue that a) He's not a bad wrestler and that b) His gimmick was perfect, he was a guy who could win matches who could be a contender but he lacks the focus, hence he'd start to dance, it was great he''d piss off the crowd, lose a shit ton but when he won it wasn't like an OMG Barry Horowitz wins sort of thing, he always had a little bit of credibility despite being at times a glorified jobber. Fuck this guy pinned Wrath near the peek of Wrath's monster image, and all it took was a little bit of a distraction from Scott Hall, not even direct interference it was great,

Now in terms of angles I'd say Disco's nwo run, it was hillarious and awesome, but I'm probably the only one who thought so

Eugene. Yeah but it was funny how he was booked. Then when Angle beat his ass at Summerslam, it was worth watching him.

This

REPO MAN!

Right To Censor

The Oddities

I'd always made sure to watch WCW Saturday Night (oddly it came on at 10am), Shotgun Saturday Night, and Sunday Night Heat. Watching the Jobbers try just as hard as a Main Eventer, helped gave me a new understanding of the Business. Plus it was kind of cool watching guys work from the bottom up. JBL and The Hardys come to mind.

Current John Cena

The KISS Demon

The Shockmaster

Goldberg vs. Evolution

Chaz, mainly because of his bizarro theme music. I was a mark for Raven's Flock even though most of them were awful, and the Pepe / Moppy gimmicks were brilliantly done.

The DDP motivational speaking gimmick and vignettes

They generated so much heat with such little ease.

24 hour hardcore title defense rule

As did I.

Kerwin fucking White

The entire Undertaker-Yokozuna feud.

Chris Masters

Chavo's post-concussion love affair with Pepe.

Bertha Faye and Harvey Wippleman.

Snitsky's strange foot-fetish/ gay lover angle with Tomko back in 2005

I am so glad I don't remember a gay lover angle between Snitsky and Tomko......

They were just tag team partners, as far as I know.

I liked the JBL/HBK saga.

It was like a pseudo gay angle. Like the time Cena walked in and they were massaging each other. There was another time where Snitsky introduced them as "partners", little things like that.

Charlie Haas Impersonator angle
Haas Hogan
The Great Charli
Stone Cold Steve Haastin
Bret Hitman Haas
GlamaHaas
CHL
Charlito
Haas Cena
Superhaas Charlie Snuka
Jim Haas
Rowdy Roddy Haas(live event)

Why is it that every Beth Phoenix Fan post I see seems to be a list of arbitrary names/events/stables?

The Invasion - never seen anyone on here say they enjoyed it. I did. Was sad when it ended.

it is a habit

I have the invasion PPV On DVD

YES YES YES!

I loved everything ICP ever did.

...What?

EDIT. Would probably help if I got the name right.

Test

no jk

p.n. newz... but i was 12, so there's that.

I liked the ministry of darkness storyline, and the corporation.
I liked the Invasion.
I thought William Regal was kind of entertaining

The manners William Regal when he re-debuted in 2000? He was funny.

Not a bad angle

He is. His run as GM before his suspension was on of the best GM runs in a long while.

Do you understand this thread?

I liked the DDP stalker angle up until the squash finish.
