Austin was also not that great when he first became champ in 98'. I think it's a damn shame that RVD may never be put in a position to DRAW for the company. But oh well.

This is more then likely my opinion totally, but whenever I see guys that use Karate/Judo/Martial Arts in the WWE you can gaurantee them to not get very far. Rob is over with the fans obviously but what I mean is more like the WWE staff.
I am going to get serious here and see how many people actually make fun of me. Everyone on Earth knows that wrestling is fake, but I will get back to this later.
I am a huge fan of UFC, and it is a known fact in UFC that if you put a guy that is Martial Arts oriented into the octagon with a guy that is a grappler/dirty boxer, the martial arts guy will loose badly (exception Horace Grace, spelling?).
When I watch WWE, knowing full well that it is fake, I get a sense that Vince tries to make it seem more real then it is. If you pit Kane against Spike Dudley in a real fight, Kane is going to beat the shit out of him. Going with this kind of thinking, I have begun to see why Vince likes these big guys. He just wants it to seem a bit more serious rather then it being off-the-wall lunacy.
Anyone remember back in the WCW days when Rey Mysterio feuded with Nash and Rey always seemed to pull out the victory until their final match?
No one believed that Rey could actually kick Kevin Nash's ass no matter how much faster Rey was, so that angle was god awful.
When I see a wrestler that uses Martial Arts, I think along the same lines. I have wanted to start a thread over Who in the WWE would actually win in a real fight, but havent gotten around to it. I think it would be like the greatest thing in the world to throw SCSA in the octagon with someone like Ken Shamrock/Stever Blackman and actually see if he is such a big ole badass. I think SCSA would get the shit kicked out of him.
Maybe I should start the thread huh?
