I want to thank everybody for the suggestions in this thread, we got to read many of them on the podcast, which is now available to listen to at the following link:

http://squaredcirclegazette.podbean....donePushes.mp3

Taking your suggestions for guys pushed way above their limitations throughout wrestling history, we talk about world champions that shouldn't have been such as Jeff Jarrett, Justin Credible and Ron Simmons, WCW nepotism with Erik Watts and Dustin Rhodes, as well as the use and talents of such individuals as Brutus Beefcake, Billy Gunn, Abyss, Hardcore Holly, Eugene, The Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus and many more that you felt were given way too much. A really fun and entertaining show this week, check it out and let us know what you think~!

I knew Justin Credible would come up and I've never understood why people thought he sucked. He was the last heel that I can remember really hating. I wanted Dreamer to beat him so badly. I thought Credible was fantastic.

Kevin Sullivan as Hogan's main enemy in 1994/95. Always thought he sucked. Hated the faces of fear and the dungeon of doom. So much garbage back then

You should do an episode on favourite wrestling toys/memorabilia that you own or owned.

That's a pretty cool idea, good bit of nostalgia could come from that. Only thought is that there might be a visual element to some of it? I suppose it would be more about the stories about the toys/memorabilia than anything, so that would be pretty damn fun.

As for Credible, I see what you mean because it's not like he was awful, and in some respects he's the victim of bad timing with ECW hitting the skids in 2000 and them rushing the belt on him in somewhat less than the best possible way. But at the same time there is something missing with Justin, and it's noticeable in retrospect that the reactions to him as champion aren't at the level of guys who held the title previously. Was excited to see him the WWF in 2001, but alas...

Justin Credible is one of my alltime least favorites, I just never got how his character grew from Portugese Man-o-War~"quote->bad-ass new king of hardcore". You had a roster full of Dreamers, Sandmans, and Rhinos in old ECW - but nope, we had to make our Top Guy the puny Kliquester who looks like a Chav drugdealer for a while

O god, and how much did WCW play up that Kidman got that single win over Hogan. He may be the ultimate example of Right Time, Right Place. He married into a hot valet to grab himself some heat every time he came out, & he got maybe a 6 month run as a top heel because Vince Russo has a fetish for whiny little Smark-savvy guys.

And then they both came back to Vince, and they both reverted to whence they came: Cruiserweights

I had ZERO idea that Credible was Aldo Montoya when Credible debuted. Was it mentioned on a show when Credible debuted?

Friggen Johnny Polo became Raven, so I don't know how you can hold that against Justin Credible.

Yeah, never got the Justin Credible hate. I mean, I never watched, but weren't people constantly on the dicks of the Impact Players and how exciting it was to see him in the WWE in 2001?

I always wanted to see more of Justin Credible in the WWE. He was doing stuff with X-Factor, then jumped to The Alliance because of his ECW ties, and they didn't really do anything.

The Lesnar/Show title change at Survivor Series 2002 always baffled me. You build up Brock from early that year on to capture his 1st WWE Championship against Rock, and only gets ~3 months before dropping it to Big Show? I have more mixed feelings regarding the Show heel turn and him and Heyman swerving Lesnar and the fans. Show has always struck mebas a guy that never should've been turned face to begin with, because what's not to love about an angry 7', 500lb. tank wreaking havoc on everything and everyone? But then again it was nice to see him go back to doing that however temporary it may have been. I can't remember the exact length of time, but they've turned big guys like him and Kane and Mark so much that I almost can't even buy it when they do turn any of those guys one way or another.

The change was basically a way to turn Brock Lesnar face (since he was being cheered anyway). The story had been built with Heyman trying to steer Brock away from tough title matches against The Undertaker ("You can't beat him, Brock!"). When Brock beat The Undertaker (twice, and one of those times in the Cell, I believe), Brock proved that he was even better than Heyman thought. When Big Show came a-calling, Heyman told Brock "He's too big! You can't F5 him!". Brock would prove Heyman wrong, but Paul, being a wormy heel that had to be right, had insured that the monster he was losing control of would learn a lesson in humility.

The WWE Title would then be transitioned to Kurt Angle at Armageddon the month after, and Brock Lesnar would win the 2003 Royal Rumble, and their match was the true main event of WrestleMania XIX. It all made sense to me at the time.

Well we know Lex Luger during the '93 season. I mean don't get me wrong, the Yokozuna Slam Competition bit was awesome, but i think that at the time they were just trying to get rid of Hulk and bring in someone to "replace" him.

HHH's run from '02 to '04 was just ridiculous. Booker should've won the title at WrestleMania because 1.) Had to put up with that semi-racist storyline that white guys think its the only way to put over some black wrestlers 2.) His push didn't feel "earned" because of the backing of the ENTIRE WWE family.

To me, its something about wrestlers organically winning. When Jeff Hardy won his first title, that moment had me "marking out" like i was back in the Monday Night Wars era.

Well, no matter what, I think Brock is just a TERRIBLE good guy...vanilla as fuck. He's meant to be sadistic. LOL, if you check his profile @ profightsdb.com, he actually wrestled Shannon Moore in mid-December 2002, and then again 364 days later in mid-December 2003. Like, what the shit?

And Show might not be the worst all-time World or WWE title holder but he's GOT to be in the top 10. At least my personal list, if nobody else's.

I hate pushes like The Funkasouras. Like do they honestly think something like that will get over? I guess it just speaks to Vinces hard on for big men. It happens all the time. For example Tensai (or whatever Alberts revised name was), really? Really? Really?

He was definitely over before they fed him to Big Show. They should have rolled with him being a monster in the ring longer before making him a jobber. It worked.

He got a pretty good reaction. It just had a short shelf life.

I had and still have absolutely no desire to see Clay get a serious singles push in wrestling, but that fun gimmick put him in a paradigm where I think he worked and could have made a bit of money. Oh well.

He could have had longevity in a Rikishi role if they kept booking him as a fun babyface who the fans could get behind to beat the shit out of any cocky heels that come along.

Funkasaurus had a bit of Dusty in him at first with the mannerisms and I quite enjoyed his squashes, but they were very stop-start with him. Think he was off TV for a month right after his debut and returned at Mania out of nowhere in that dancing skit with tons of "Mommas".

I dunno, I thought she made a fun "everybody loves to hate her" type heel in her later years with WWE, and she'd get fucking nuclear heat just about everywhere, too, which, at least in part, is probably what allowed her to stay on with the company for so long.




Love that match, I don't give a fuck what anyone says.

Rey Mysterio milking Eddie Guerrero's death into a World title run greatly annoyed me. Rey Mysterio's main-event push would have been enjoyable for me had he not used Eddie's death as a way of drawing sympathy from the fans.

Fuck yes she was! I think people get too hung up on her looks, the scream she sometimes did as a manager/valet, and her infamous "Excuse Me!" line.

She realky is quite underrated, IMHO.
