Cryme TYMe! yay or nay?
 

yay.
Seems like we're back in the early 90's with gimmicks like the Highlanders and now this..but I don't mind..better than what they have in the tag division now!

poll? also yay

WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY

New tag team they started to promo on tonight on rAW

I know that but what are the guys names and have they wrestled before?

Also, I had a flashback of The Gangstas when I saw this promo.

Yeah dunno how they are going to get away with this.

I can sense Spike Lee's anger from where I sit.

YAY

I died a little inside when I saw that.

Well, better go pre-order their T-shirts.

I thought the skit was pretty stupid.

'twill no doubt be one of the gimmicks that everyone hates right now but will be heaping praise upon in a month or so.

It's awesome, should be a great heel team. But I'm worried they will be pushed as face with a "lie, cheat, and steal" gimmick.

^

& that they are motivated by Eddie Guerrero's character and embody his spirit. Then Rey Mysterio will show up and say nobody can ride Eddie's coatails except for himself. Which will then bring out Chavo, who will be followed by Vickie.

Before we know it, we'll have another two months full of "Eddie" stuff that is not in good taste.

????????????

Considering I only know their WWE handles I don't think I can find anything on them Diesel. I tried though.

i like lax better

Meh.

WORST. PROMO VIDEO. EVER. :wtf: :nono: :shifty:

I quite enjoyed that video!

The voiceover made it hilarious though so I don't know how it will work past these promo vids! Hell it's another TAG TEAM for a division that seems to be getting it's bi-annual attention from the bookers. (No doubt they will debut, win a No. 1 Contender match, win the belts on their first try and split up once they lose them)


PEACE OUT!

You know, on Smackdown, JBL even took a shot at the lackluster tag division (Prior to these new groups).

OF course, that was Smackdown's titles, but apparently, even we're supposed to be aware.

I think it's fucking priceless. It's politically incorrect, but who cares? It's parody.

I personally love it. :lol:

I say give it time. If we can love a guy acting like a retard, we can eventually come to love this.

Nay for now. It seems to more of a stereotype than a parody. Maybe they will be entertaining, but I don't think so.

August 7, 2005 - RAW: The Gang Stars (Shad Gaspard & Neighborhoodie) defeated Charlie Haas & Rob Conway in a dark match..


LOL This was thier only other time on Raw.

They've had one fucking promo.

And we are talking about said promo and the possibilities of the gimmick. Point?

We've seen this before.

You might just wanna let it ride out a little more is all I'm saying.

Just giving the first impresions. Nothing set in stone.

Dude the voiceover MAKES it a parody!!

Without the VO I would say it seems like a stereotype. With the VO it is blatantly a parody!

Come on jump on board the Cryme Tyme Train!

(Try saying that 3 times fast)
I bet you someone types it three times now

The line between satire and offense is often a very blurred one.

Me? I barely paid attention to the promo. I didn't find it that funny, but I didn't find it any more racist than half of broadcast TV 90% of cable. Actually, I think they'd have to spend a two minute promo eating fried chicken, drinking malt liquor, and smoking pot while calling each other nigga ad nauseum to be more racist than cable.

I don't overtly hate the gimmick, but neither do I really like it.

The word 'meh' could have saved you some time.

Yay

I like how it shows us the majority of what african americans are like and not the fake ones we call ABT

Like I said in the Raw thread last night. It's M.O.M. redux.

But, since a thing called the tag team division exists, and there are spots to be filled. Yay I say. For now.

Already used it, but since people were arguing over whether it was a stereotype or parody....

...Sorry, that probably escaped you.

Apparently my post went over your head.

At this point, I just assume you mean the most linear and brainless thing possible, as that's generally true. I'm sorry I missed the "deeper meaning" of a post whose meaning was rather obvious and pointless.

So obvious you failed to understand? Speaks volumes. Now go ahead and give some speech how it was beneath you or something.
