So has the WWE actually turned to self parody?
 

I'm looking at the Boogeyman, and wondering if they could have come up with any shittier a performer. I mean, the guy's only redeeming quality seems to be he's so shitty, it's actually a little funny (Kinda like Uma Thurman, but without a decent body).

Now, Flair's been over the top even more than usual, and Michaels has been acting a little...Crazy (Like when he's giving camera instructions, or when he TOTALLY oversells the shock of someone coming out). The "Network" angle which introduced the Boogeyman also seems like self parody, even though it was introduced to take shots at UPN.

Shawn Michaels over the topness has made him one of my favourite wrestlers. Some of his over the top highlights:

1. His Hulk Hogan Parody. That was the best thing I've ever seen since whatching Raw.

2. Overselling Hogan's Big Boot. When he got kicked, got up then flew backwards, I loved it.

3. His reaction to Master's calling him old. He just started laughing and dancing around the ring.

Michaels rocks.

Has anyone noticed how non-Austin Stone Cold has been of late? When Austin was in the promo with Stephanie, he hopped around the ring with buck teeth. That's something he would have never done six years ago. :nono:

"Steve I have a proposition for you?"

"I only have 20 bucks on me"

Eugene.

Think about it.

:rofl:

I thought it was more him acting out because the WWE were trying to strongarm him. :D

Back in 98, he would have crippled Vince and shoved something up his ass. :shifty:

lol 8 posts in with a topic mainly about the boogeyman and nobody has even mentioned his name since the first post

I don't get what they're doing with him. Like is he gonna be an idiot who can actually win matches? Or is he just gonna win a few and then become a jobber

it's dale gender killa!!!!!

Well, it was inspired by the Bookerman...

...It was thinking about the Boogeyman debut segment that I really started to wonder if this was a total pisstake on their own product. Other examples started to spring to mind (Including Michaels, who'd been amusing me for weeks), and I started to wonder if this was more than just some retarded segment.

Intentional or no, they've gone from campy to self-parody.

How about on RAW Top 10? Mick took alot of shots at Vince and how goofy he is sometimes.

:rofl: :rofl:

Didn't see it.

I want it to be known that I adore the Boogeyman.


I don't know how good he is in the ring, but at this point, I couldn't care. I got a kick out of him when I first saw him on Smackdown, and last week as well.

One...Two...Pay my dues...

...Three...Four...Get Pushed Some More...

...Five...Six...Make rassling fans sick...

Seven...Eight...Thank You Satan...

Nine...Ten...Main Event...

Anyone else think he'd be scarier if they took off the face paint and had him hang around white neighborhoods after dark? What white viewer wouldn't think themselves at the thought of a nigger in a gated community?

With no teeth, no less.

*marks the FUCK out* :cool:

1...2...Gin and Juice...

I'm the niggaman! *laughs*

I actually thought this last Austin promo was the first promo we've seen in a while of Austin being the old Austin.

Was some pretty funny stuff, the line about Steph's balls falling out was great

BOO-Yah! Stunner!
