Yeah! Agreed. But I'm from Sweden, and I don't think the whole idea of Islamic terrorism is as offensive as it was in the US after the whole WTC thing and the US/Arab wars.

Yeah, that was pretty damn good. Good point!

It's unfortunate that man didn't get a second chance. I would like to see him make a surprise Royal Rumble appearance as a face.

Seekarr actually he got canned because London bombings which is not in the US.... It didn't help that everyone backstage hated him like Enzo recently

How was that angle his fault? I never understood that. WWE came up with that idea and like all workers he went with it. It was not his fault that the bombings happened the same time frame. Now had he got on the mic and made a derogatory reference to it on his own, then yeah fire him. And they still could have kept him around and used him. He had the look, the mic work and was a legitimate wrestler (Olympic wresting).

Cyrus from ECW must also be happy.

I still hear their theme in my head today

I feel like Drew Gulak would approve of this

You win

Underrated comment.

The difference with that is he wasn't supposed to get over in that gimmick because he was a heel.

I've got some bad news for ya....Wade Barrett was a bum

Brandon White he didn't got over fans took it too seriously in a mix of comedy and his mic work... Barrett was a legitimate heel... I agree with you... But it wasn't his fault that people got over with that bad news gimmick.... That gimmick portrayed Barrett as a last of that character in a blend of his excellent promo and mic work.... The same thing is happening with rude and his rude day gimmick

"I've got some bad news for you." -Bad News Barret In my honest opinion, I always considered Barret a MUCH better on air speaking personality than he ever was a wrestler. I think that Nexus would've never worked without him as leader. But his wrestling ability was mediocre at best. Daniel Bryan really put the angle over during their debut on Raw. Him choking out Justin Roberts was Attitude era-esque. It just sucks they fired D-Bry for 90 days, to kill his heel momentum and help the group as a whole. Daniel Bryan was light years ahead of anyone within that group as a wrestling machine. But D-Bry with Wade Barret would've been money together.

Barrett shoulda had a different nickname. To me the only Bad News I think of is Bad News Brown.

Justin Kroboth next, were gonna clone Justin's

Ryan Millar 100% AGREE!!!!

Nah he was 40 something years old & lied about being younger

mordecai gimmick was liked backstage vince even said to kevin *you gonna meake your 1st million son* but an incident happened , according to kevin , he was drinking in a bar and some guy came to him and picked a fight he bashed his head with a beer bottle. and the guy tried to sued wwe and kevin, that's the reason why he got released. kinda sad that i like the mordecai gimmick , if he only had self control he could've been great. and we might've have seen mordecai , kane and undertaker as a stable at some point.

I loved O' Haire's promos...best thing on WWE TV at the time. Mordecai would have been a great gimmick too...dark feeling and interesting character

Both super talented gone way too soon

O'Hare was a terrible promo. That's why his push was shelved. He used to burst out laughing and forget his lines when doing promos on house shows. If you look at the devils advocate video promos he did they're clearly recorded one line at a time and cut together as that was the only way to do it with him. He was still a freak of an athlete though. The Seanton Bomb in wcw was a thing of beauty.

^ This is true tbh. I don't think a lot of people realize that about the Devil's Advocate promos either. They were produced awesomely but O'Hare was a risky promo for sure.

Joshua Washington But they rehired him later and he became Kevin Thorn.

Yep, the ECW wrestling vampire... which they then gave up on and packaged him as a generic wrestler, then released him

Once Ariel got released, he lost so much presence and soon after, he was released himself. Together they were great though.

His gimmick was terrible even if he had a bar incident.

@@jindermahal322 I Kinda Thought The Vampire Gimmick Suited Undertaker Better Undertaker= Your Run Of The Mill Unique Deadman/Vampire Hybrid Undertaker Might've Had Jagged Fangs And Dracula's Cape LOL

*Said no one ever*

You stole Michael Brown's comment.

We had PG during the 80s and early 90's and it was great. PG is not the reason the wwe sucks today.

His name is.... JOHN CENA!!!

Jamie Holmes Mordecai looks like Brock Lesner's mentally ill older brother

Kevin thorn

Victor Colquhoun brock lesnar with long hair

diz yir... Instead we got a Hardcore Holly fued...:-(

Nah personally I hated it. The gymmock was too cringy for me. Would have been less cringy if they cut straight the point and got him to rock a clan hood.

Joe Budden's Happy Face and obsession with Simon

I think what you meant to say is: Wtf is up with human beings picking the same fucking names for their children that everyone else has already used ad nauseam?

It’s a rib

Brian Kendrick is a better WWE champ then Jinder!

When I was young no one gave a crap after he became a singles competitor.

My two favorite eras of Smackdown were "The Ruthless Aggression era" and "Friday Night Smackdown era". Friday Night Smackdown felt like a proving ground for former mid card talent going to the main event level. It felt fair and balanced. I'm glad management took a chance to even showcase the "charismatic" side of Brian Kendrick, together with his phenomenal wrestling ability. I just think that his "addictions" are what destroyed any chance that he had with that amazing gimmick. He admitted to this during his Cruiserweight Classic personality introduction. He's doing well on 205 Live now. But unfortunately nobody really watches that show (we miss you Enzo..).

He's not better than Jinder!

kyle damron it was OK, it's nothing on his own creation in Broken or Woken Matt. There is no limit to where his character can go, he has been "reincarnated" which means he's lived forever and has unlimited promo material from the history of human civilisation.

Victor Colquhoun I like Broken Matt in TNA and ROH but whatever WWE is doing with his character isn't working for me. I am aware of what reincarnated means and but I still a bigger fan of V1.

kyle damron yeah the restraints of pg tv and WWE being control freaks when it comes to characters and storylines will probably bury the Brokenness out of Matt. Also TNA used Reby, Matt's baby son and Senior Benjamin! Plus he hasn't done any communicating with animals, oh and Vanguard 1 is missing too.

I think the idea was definitely ahead of it's time. Look at Smackdown, they use a similar format to educate their audience about the superstar. Matt had this shit figured out 15 years ago.

Neither of the hardys should've ever been anything solo. They were a decent tag team but horrible as singles stars. They should both be irrelevant unless they tag up again.

Sammy Lane Firstly, Cody Rhodes had a shitty character.

Happy Rusev Day!!

I hadn't watched wrestling in a few months until the royal rumble and the pop he got confused the fuck outta me lmao

extremecameron tomorrow is rusev day are you excited????

Context, the joke needs context.

Yes happy Russev Day to you as well

I remember him "setting" a guys foot on fire lol, then making the Ultimate Warrior sick and then never returning. Neither did. Strange times before the internet.

Same

that's why as a canadian of hatian descent... i for one was thrilled to have owen ''black'' hart as a active member of the nation of domination... ''Enough Is Enough And It's Time For a Change...'' ''i tried to be a nice guy...''

It's not like why WWE didn't want to, but WHO didn't want Owen to be pushed to the top? That man IMO is Stone Cold Steve Austin. With WWE trying to make Austin the top babyface of the company to be the foil for Mr. McMahon's evil persona and the fact that Austin still held grudge with Owen after the the latter nearly paralyzed him for real and for life at SummerSlam, no wonder why Owen began treading water in the midcard never to get another big push for the WWE Championship

Isn't it crazy that if they had gone with that idea, and the blue blazer gimmick never happened, Owen Hart might be here today.

Could've been awesome. Owen joins the Nation and recruits them in his feud with Vince and DX/Corporation. Instead.. we got Blue Blazer. Mordecai could've been an excellent character in the vein that Undertaker was.... if Kevin Fertig was half the worker Mark Calaway was. Instead, we got a few squashes then.... Kevin Thorn. Which itself could've been what Gangrel should have been but.... we all know how that turned out. Honestly, it's depressing to think of just how many times WWE has taken something that should have been big and screwed it up.

ivaneurope Well that is a wildly inaccurate opinion. Especially if you've ever watched anything from Austin on the incident, or from Vince pertaining to the family. It's relatively well documented. The internet is your friend, no need to bash Austin for no real reason....even if it is 'IMO' .

Fingaz Mc Yeah, it’s just that Dan Spivey was planning on retirement at that point in his career. 😭

Joseph Santiago Oh was that why the character was dropped. Thanks for the info, I never knew that!

Fingaz Mc A modern day PG character of his Running in WWE goes by the Name Bray Wyatt Does it Ring a Bell????

arthur dsouza I know yeah. But he's still not quite Deniro in Cape Fear is he...

Lives are gonna be in Waylon Mercy's hands.

Not officially. Lol

When

Alpha X it literally said Curremt WWE Champion when he made the pin

If the Harcore battle royal reigns count than surely the WWE championship 'reigns' count too

GoldNinja Vlogspot thank u

Stephanie McMahon yup your right

You misspelled GOLDUST.

Theo Dious true both are just as good

No. Realistically.. if you really think about it...his character is actually kinda stupid. It's the man behind it, and his legacy, that are great.

Stephanie McMahon W R O N G !!!! Try Again!!!

lmao Simon is the only one that matters tbh

Agreed.
