It Never Should Have Gotten Over...
...But It Did.
Name some of the craziest, stupidest ideas that should never, ever have gotten over, but somehow did. I was mostly thinking of Hornswaggle/Little Bastard when I made this thread. Not since Dink has a midget been so over in WWE. And Dink jobs to LB. |
Moppy. Plain and simple.
|
The bWo. Never has something that was intended to be a joke gotten so damn big at such a rapid pace. And then, of course, been smashed by Vince. But, still...I count them.

You're welcome. ;)

The Stone Cold 'What' phenom.
|
the various churches of Jesus come in a close second (heres lookin' at you Pentecostals!)
|
To this day, the thought of Cena waving his hand in front of his face saying "you can't see me" reminds me of recess in 3rd grade.

Undertaker.
|
Actually there was every reason to believe that Undertaker would get over. In the climate of the early 90s, it wasn't so outlandish. What surprises me to this day is the extent to which the gimmick STAYED over.

Spirit Squad
I still think they're fucking stupid/gay. |

Hey I can spam too. |
He wasn't bad in WCW either, honestly. Didn't get a chance to do much in WWE.
... WHAT |
The Rock and his motions (Just bring it, the smell it face, etc.)
|
Yeah, how the FUCK did an eyebrow raise get over?!
|
Billy and Chuck actually weren't supposed to get over as a team but they did.
|
WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?
|
Yeah, anything even vaguely related to Al Snow.
|
Whipwreck?
|
WHAT?
|
The Warrior. :y:

All I have to say is MISSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KEEENNNNEEEEEEEEEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Socko.

Cade and Murdoch were originally meant to mock AMW.
|
Cade and Murdoch aren't exactly 'over', though.
|
I would say they did get over when they were champs before they were kind of buried.
|
I don't think they were over. Just because they held a title doesn't mean they're over.
And just to be the first to say it, "Yeah, I mean look at Cena."... |
I dunno. They were just kinda given the titles and people didn't have much of a choice but to accept it. They never really garnered much of a reaction. Shame too, I like the team.
|
Cena is over. There is no disputing that.
|
It was an inevitable joke. I agree he's over.

I don't remember them getting much of a reaction. Trevor Murdoch is the man, though. Did I ever tell you guys when I was at Backlash last year, I was in the merchandise line and I saw a girl with a homemade Trevor Murdouch t-shirt and a sleeveless flannel? I guess he was over with HER, but she may have been his daughter or something.
|
To be over, you A. Have to be "over" for a considerable amount of time and B. Have more than a minority cheering/booing them.
They were only a few steps up from Spirit Squad Heat*. *Spirit Squad Heat, or SSH, is when you get little to no reaction whatsoever. And yes, I just coined this term now. |
OK, then I guess they weren't over because it wasn't really a considerable amount of time but it seemed they got a good reaction when they were fueding with Big Show/Kane in late 2005.

Definitley so. What Smackdown have you been watching?
|
Eric Young.
You know, in reality, not Orlando-ality. |
Eric Young got over because people can relate to not wanting to be fired.
|
It was a fucking retarded gimmick.
|
Was it really based on Abyss in real life?

The entire Katie Vick storyline.

That storyline was so never over.
|
WHAT?

I'm surprised Ron Simmons "Damn" has gotten so over. It was the best part of this week's Raw
|
WHAT?
|
How about Vito wearing a dress...
|
WHAT?

Vito got fuck all reaction until he started wearing a dress

Headcheese where pretty over. Al Snow is surprisingly over. Steve Blackman, for a guy with a blandish personality (I would not call the guy boring, he obviously had a good sense of humour considering the things he milked, he was just a straight man) got over heaps.
|
WHAT?
|
2 BEERS!
|
WHAT?
|
Way to kill it Carl.
|
WHAT?
Just change your 2 beers to... 2 beers, <---- and it's fixed. |
Definitely have to agree with whoever said "DAMN!", Head Cheese, Vito in a dress and Eugene...
I'm not surprised, per se, that "what?" got over.. it was entertaining. I just can't believe the EXTENT that it got over to, where people were chanting "what?" in segments and interviews that had nothing to do with Austin, and randomly Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon managed to become synonymous with "what?" even when they had no on-screen association with Austin whatsoever. Nowadays, it seems restricted to Austin once again, but the fact is that six years later, it is still over. That is amazing. Trust me, we won't be hearing "DAMN!" in six years. |

WHAT? :nono: |
Wooing with chops is pretty amazing in the extent it got.
Also, the "TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" thing every time there's a two count. I believe that started in Montreal, possibly the PPV where Sylvan reffed the main event (Hogan/Rock?)... |
The Wooing is an amazing testament to Flair in my opinion.
|
Oh yeah... and also the crowd shouting "YOU!" whenever Hogan does the finger point. Where did that come from??
|
Quote:
And speaking of the "YOOOU" thing, am I the only one bothered when the fans count when Hogan does his punches? Or when Michaels is setting up Sweet Chin Music? I miss the clapping/stomping with Michaels and the "HOO! HOO! HOO!" with the Hogan punches. When the fuck did WWE become Sesame Street? |
^ I was just thinking about that, Xero. When and why the fuck did the fans start counting when HBK's "tuning up the band"?
|
WHAT?
