I haven’t heard the Christian promo. I’m sure it’s good. He doesn’t need to swear though. He’d make it sound better than most, but it’s still unnecessary. It’s crazy how so many people don’t get how limiting cursing is when it comes to media. It’s a silly little hang-up, but it’s one that such a large portion of your audience has.
And I have noticed that wrestlers don’t know how to swear. I’m reminded of the line from The Shape of Things — “boys always think having a potty-mouth makes them cute.” That’s paraphrased, but whatever. They don’t understand how to do it effectively. It comes off like the cheeky boy in class who just figured out what these words mean and plans to get a reaction out of saying them. Just make the meaning behind what you’re saying important.
Randy Orton sounds cooler saying “frick” than these guys sound saying “bullshit” and “motherfucker” or whatever, because it makes him sound like someone conscious he’s actually coming to you via the medium of television. And he doesn’t need to hide behind obscenities for impact.
