<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Jeeze, how long they been sitting on this tape library for? |
That looks amazing
|
lol Goddammit, this looks a million times more entertaining than actual wrestling right now. Take my money, WWE. You done good.
|
Hopefully this is where Johnny Curtis becomes a star when he outshines everyone else as a 70's wrestling manager with a comb over.
|
LOL YESSSS
|
So what is this? Looks great, but I've never heard of it.
|
What is this...
|
WWE Twitter get hacked?! :wtf:
|
Yeah it got hacked and they got a bunch of WWE Superstars to act like they're in a 70's region wrasslin show.
C'mon owenbrown, use your head. |
This looks hilarious.

having said that.... lol that video
|
I have literally no idea what this is.
But I do know that it is easily the greatest thing in professional wrestling. Also, Sex Ferguson appears to be in this, which makes it DOUBLY the greatest thing in professional wrestling. |
I was gonna ask if Sex was in it!
|
:lol: That was great.
|
That looks amazing.
|
My god. This looks like the best original content they have made for the Network.
|
If this is mostly the boys doing their own thing goofing off, then it could actually prove once and for all the need to fire the writers.

Cena as a Lance Russell parody :lol:
|
I wonder if there's going to be actual wrestling in this. I mean, I'm down for whatever, but if they actually had a full wrestling show it would be on another level.
|
Obviously the matches would just be a joke, never last more than a few minutes and feature nothing but low/no-risk moves. But I really do hope they go all out with it. In fact, just replace Raw with this.
|
This seems to fit the Hardys.
|
To be a proper Southern Territory they must have the wrestlers hitting on 15 year old rats.
Also, they have to have loser rides a mule and loser gets tarred and feathered matches. And every match is a bloodbath |
Something to stream at work tomorrow, very nice
|
Apparently Sex Ferguson will be Tex Ferguson.
I think I'm okay with this, although I'm guessing he won't be able to talk about cocaine and hookers, which is a bit of a downer. |
I was bamboozled. I thought this was some bullshit backyard trampoline shit until I hit the play button. cheers, WWE.
|
|
First episode is debuting on WWE.com and WWE's Youtube channel to go along with the Network's debut.

It's not on the Network.
It will be on WWE.com, WWEFanNation YouTube page and will be sponsored by KFC's Golden Chicken thing. |

But... that can't be it...
Did Big Bartholomew get his farm back? Did Tex get revenge on his former best friend? Did Suzy ever return Chet Chetterson's call? Leave it to WWE to build up storylines and then end them with a whimper. Fucking fucks. |
Lol Jericho took that wrestlers not holding the mic bit from Ed Whalen
|
Fucking love the logo jingle for SouthPaw Wrestling.
|
So damn good. Shame they're just short ad spots. Hope the reception is good enough for a short Netwwork series with half hour shows and a dumb match in there.
|
If they ran this as a parody show with about 6 to 10 guys it would be great. However it would probably draw better than smackdown LOL.
Bring Matt Hardy in and have him destroy South Paw |
I'm probably being really dumb, but who is Chet played by?

|
Oh for fucks sake, I just worked it out. Yeah, I'm even dead to me.
|
I'm gonna need them to do Lethal Leap Year as a whole show. This has to keep going, it's too good not to.
|
On second thought, Johnny Curtis is so money at everything he does that I can see how you could get caught up and have a tough time linking him to his character.
|
Quote:
Cenas hilarious as well. It'll never happen, but Curtis and Cena should pair up for more stuff.. Or a buddy cop movie. |
That was incredible. I want more!
|
I couldn't tell who the champion was. TJ Perkins I think.
Also curious who the masked luchador was. |
Watched the first 2 videos, pretty funny. I'll watch the other two later. This would be great for a WWE Network show. Was Tyler Breeze Mr. McElroy?
|
Laughed at Greg Valentine going over to Tex house and putting him in an armbar for 2 1/2 hours lol
|
Upon further inspection, I think the masked luchador was Luke Harper.

Is it funny, I haven't gotten a chance to watch yet?
|
Yeah, pretty funny.

Johnny Curtis should be in as many things like this as possible, especially if they're barely going to use him on television.
He and Heath Slater are so similar for me in terms of guys I thought were the blandest people possible when I first saw them in NXT, now they're two of my favorites on the roster because they're absolutely hilarious whenever given the opportunity. |
You thought Johnny Curtis was bland on NXT? NXT was the first place I recognized him as the ideal pro wrestling superstar. The guy blew everyone out of the water from a charisma/likability standpoint every week.
|
Heath Slater on the other hand did always come off as awkward and unnatural as fuck. His try hard-ness can lead to some comedy though.
|
Quote:
Then he did a bunch of weird ass SmackDown vignettes which amounted to nothing. When he came back to NXT (after they abandoned the competition format) he became Creepy Curtis and that's when I realized how good he actually was. |
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/70us8fe94Fg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
From that moment it had to be either him or Brodus. They were the only ones who didn't come off as ridiculously cringe-worthy. |
I'm in the same boat as Vito on this one; didn't see any appeal in JC on NXT, but fell in love with him for his SmackDown vignettes.
|
That wasn't Bateman's best work but I thought he shined best during his Bryan segments anyway.
I remember feeling gutted for Brodus when he cut the best promo of the entire season during the finale and still lost. Wasn't much of a surprise to me that they immediately put him on the main roster with Del Rio while Curtis still took months to debut formally. |
Bateman's bromance with Bryan/obviously cheating in competitions was entertaining. As a performer though I never could stand him. The way he over-enunciates when he talks is so annoying to me. Similar to the same problem I always had with Slater. Always seems like he's over-acting to try to make up for not being comfortable on the mic.
|
Hmm, never even noticed that tbh. Always just chalked it up to the fact that they were supposed to be playing bombastic over-the-top characters.
|
When Bateman explained the planned Mr. USA gimmick on Colt Cabana's podcast, I got sad that it never made it to TV.
He was going to come out, pose on the ramp as some American hero with pyro and explosions just going off everywhere. Then they'd go to commercial and when it came back he'd still be standing there with explosions going off. |
lol I actually started a game with the new TEW a few weeks ago and transitioned him into the Mr. USA gimmick.
|
Sea Creature inspiration:

My only problem with this series was I wish they hadn't tried to add jokes to it outside of just parodying the era. Tyler Breeze being like "Trespassing? How can I be trespassing... WHEN I OWN IT???" was hilarious. But then when he kept stopping his evil laugh in order to fix his mustache it was like "Meh..."
|
Ha, wasn't even a leap year. This was good, would make a good WWE Network show I think.
|
1987 later episodes should have an even related to the election.
"You mean there's not an election in 1987? Who the f### do we have working here" |

lol Dammit. Now I wanna see The Hardys start trying to track down the Southpaw Regional Wrestling tag team champions, completely clueless that the company never actually existed.
|
Hardys have time machines though

Man I want more ... just please keep it going!
|
Rusev really funny in episode 2... Tyler Breeze also. Good angle
|
Chad 2 Badd also funny
|
Chadd 2 Badd and Tex Ferguson feud of the year.
|

And I was right. Also "Clint is a piece of sh-" had me fucking ROLLING laughing. "Susan. Call me back." |
:( No Lethal Leap Year ppv event.
Looking back, WWE really dodged a big bullet since it probably would have been a lot better and iconic than Mania III. |
Johnny Curtis is just the best.
|
Something like this shows me the potential of some of these undercard guys. There is real personality there.
It was when the constraints were lifted and guys were given more freedom character wise that the attitude era made things so watchable. I understand it's a massive company and they have to have some semblance of control...But let some of these guys get creative and just see what happens. The majority of them are not doing anything anyway |
Would be cool to do it documentary style and have them in character for like a Rise and Fall of Southpaw Regional Wrestling as a Network show.
|
This needs a network special so badly.
Also, KFC needs to bring Georgia Gold to the UK. |
What is the "Johnny Curtis" stuff everyone is talking about in this thread... Don't remember seeing that in the videos... when was it?
|

|
Oh damn I thought that was Cesaro
|
How come everyone is calling him "Johnny Curtis" instead of Fandango
|
Because the gimmick sucks donkey dick and everybody wants to remember him chloroforming Matt Striker.

Sometimes, when we bitch about how bad RAW can be, we forget about how bad the product was just a few years ago. |
Just watched this video. Seemed like a pretty good gimmick
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zcQv1YCQtw4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Quote:
I think he could/should be a megastar. So saying "Fandango should be the next John Cena" makes it sound (to some people at least) like his current gimmick is WrestleMania main event caliber. So I say "Johnny Curtis" when singing his praises so I don't have to make that silly distinction. That being said, I love him as Fandango, too. He's good at everything. |
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BF-bF3ozw5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Super likable. Not remotely awkward or uncomfortable on camera or in front of a crowd. Would make the company look like a million bucks on talk shows and stuff via his personality. And none of this is even getting into how amazing he was on the later season of NXT as "Creepy" Johnny Curtis. |
Quote:
Whether you like the "Fandango" persona or you don't, just watch anything of him in character, especially the backstage stuff where he's allowed more freedom and you can see that he absolutely owns it to ridiculous levels. Most entertaining guy on the roster. |
|
copped some of that KFC boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, didn't have to utilize my AK

This illustrates the canyon sized gap between what Vince and his team of "writers" think is funny and the talents awesome sense of humor
Christ Johnny Curtis is too great for words. |
Jesus that whole thing was amazing. I lost it for "Impressive" Pelvis Wesley lol. The whole thing was great.including Lance Catamaran citing 6 weeks as an anchor for some random news channel lol.
I hope there's more. These are far too entertaining to cut it off. And got God sakes give him a buzzcut and bring back Johnny Curtis. |
Effective marketing as today for lunch a my co worker and I went to KFC and he did all the wooos when ordering I just put my head in my hands half laughing (he is not a fan and had only just seen the web show)
