Festus
 

I have seen threads that have addressed the possibility of a heel ringing the bell and beating up on Festus. I am sure that will happen, which is fine. But how about some story where Festus manages to leave ringside without the bell ringing and goes on a rampage. Or somehow he sees footage of himself being stoic and realizes that when the bell rings he'd better get the fuck out of there, if only he could somehow retain the memories. Sort of like when Bruce Banner becomes able to control being the Hulk.

They should have a backstage segment where Jesse leaves him in front of a mirror and goes to talk to someone else and Festus looks into the mirror and it's his "inner monster" who's being reflected and not the emotionless one. What purpose would it serve? Nada, but it's better when McMahon saw his old self in the mirror that one time.

Yeah, Festus leaves several possibilities open.

I would also mark out for a magic mirror that allowed wrestlers to see their "inner selves." Festus can see his inner monster, then Ron Simmons can walk past and see himself from earlier in his career, and just turn away in shock and say "Damn!"

I'd mark out for a Terra Ryzin appearance, too.

If it's on SmackDown, I'm sure it sucks. (Minus Taker/Edge.)

Oh, thanks for the input. :roll:

I love the way Jimmy updates his lists ever-so-gradually. "Everything sucks on SmackDown! except Edge!" "Everything sucks on SmackDown! except Edge/Taker!" "Wait, maybe SmackDown! doesn't suck so bad after all?"

Pair him with a midget and named "Fetus." Maybe you have one of the divas knocked up for seven months before debuting him.

or just release him

Release the midget before he comes to term?

no, release whomever this guy on your topic title is

That will probably be the reality of the thing.

Well, he's facing The Undertaker next week. Seems like he's getting more of a push than anything.

I'll tape SD for this match. I think the guy can go. For someone his size he can move in the ring and I do hope something comes of him. He's been impressing me while facing the likes of Morrison and Miz, now lets see what the guy can do with Take.
