I feel bad for him sometimes

I know Daivari is a shit stain irl, but I'm surprised the E hasn't bought him back for a Muslim extremist gimmick as manager or chicken shit heel.
>>883696
>I know Daivari is a shit stain irl
He is?
Didn't he save some people on a bus or something like that?
>>883670
Didn't he kill a guy?
>>883876
Result of a flapjack and the guy lied about having just been concussed.
>5 man tag team
>heels
and then they went with the most stupid gimmick
>Male Cheerleaders
and this was the tag team Dolph Ziggler debuted in.
>>883888
Remember when people said that Kenny Dickstrap was going to be the next big thing?
>>883889
Remember when he was engaged to Mickey James?
>>883889
they tried so damn hard to push Kenny. I think the saddest part is I don't even think the other 3 dudes had names
>>883888
Look at the various JUST hair, it's fucking glorious man.
>>883888
Its tells you how bad the WWE was then, when they're about the only memorable thing from around 05-06.
>>883888
I hated these guys as a kid.
Someone thought that it would be a good idea.

Daivari is a better person than >>(You)

One rumour has it that Taker was originally gonna play the gooker. Although that's almost certainly bullshit.
>>883888
Male cheerleaders is a top tier heel gimmick.
>>884931
Not the Gooker, but a character called "The Eggman"
>Lets make their entrance music basically an overly car alarm
The entire "right to censor" gimmick was just awful.
No one liked them, which i guess you could try to argue made them good heels, but no, seriously, it was legit X-Pac heat.
>>884947
You're just mad because they won in the end.
>>884947
It was only Go-Away Heat if they're booed for existing and not reacted to.
>>884947
holy shit forgot bout these motherfucker
>>883888
They all look early 2000's as fuck.
How about "holy shit" chants. Haven't they been using "this is awesome" chants now? Seems to me like WWE used plants to get the "awesome" chants to overtake the "holy shit" chants for
>muh PG
Bump for interest
>>883893
Remember when based BMJ cucked him out of the company?
>>883670
Never forget.

Truly the worst chant of them all.

They were fucking hilarious. HBK wrecking them all @ WM is amazing.

Anyone remember a guy called The Enterprise? This guy never heard of him.

>There's no way that American fans will cheer for a Mexican wrestler.
>Your gimmick is that you're a robot.
Before the watchful eye of the internet, promoters would try just about anything to repackage a wrestler who wasn't getting over.

You mark?
These men from 2002:

Too bad that President Rhodes banned space cycles after 9/11. You can see why Champion and Royal went back to the past.
>>890612
I think Bischoff was probably right to try broadening the base, but he threw way too much money into Glacier and botched the build-up. The way things spun out it kinda looked like nWo was this thing that happened to WCW, but if that was the plan they shouldn't have invested so heavily in Glacier's entrance and costume.
>mortis
Nobody better than Kanyon.

He guested and was immediately thrown out not long ago.
