Thank You Edge - The Wrestling Thread

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

The new look looks good on Dolph but it takes away from part of his uniqueness. He'll have to make up for that in other areas otherwise he'll just blend in with any other young athletic fit guy.

I agree, he looks like any other generic young wrestler.

 

[Nemi]

I think they should have just dyed it. He'd look more serious but still have a bit of a unique look. Hopefully this means they are gonna do more with his character.

 

[Metallo]

Short hair Dolph Ziggler looks like Randy Orton from 2003.

He reminded me of Orton too. Heck it reminded me a little of Matt Bournes hair!

I didn't mind a change but now he looks like Orton clone no. 6 right out of the clone tanks at FCW.

 

[Wylie Times]

Can't help that the man sells just like Perfect did

No, that comparison came about mostly because of his hair. It's not different from how Mason Ryan showed up and people instantly started comparing him to Batista.

 

[Team Andino]

No, that comparison came about mostly because of his hair. It's not different from how Mason Ryan showed up and people instantly started comparing him to Batista.

Again it still doesn't change the fact that he sells like Mr. Perfect in the ring. Sure his hair is different now but unless he changes his ring style he'll still get that comparison by me

 

[Nemi]

Anyone think he'll have a different entrance?

 

[Eric Draven]

I loved that heel turn by R-Truth. Just the way he was acting when he was lighting up the smoke cracked me up.

Hopefully he turns into the angry hater he was in the early days of TNA, albeit with the racism turned down a bit.....

 

[Metallo]

Miz's "hip hop refugee" remark made me LOL. They're crapping all on Truth tonight.

JoMo in the match just makes more sense given his history with Miz.

Hopefully this will put and end to the Mr Perfect comparisons.

Nothing wrong with a comparison as long as its a good one. Lots of great stars get comparisons to guys of the past because of similarities. Ziggler sometimes reminds me of Mr Perfect in a GOOD way. Not a cheap knockoff kind of way. He still needs to grow though and take those "Mr Perfect" elements and make them his own.

Half Hogans act is from Superstar Graham and he always gets compared but he made those elements his own.

Again it still doesn't change the fact that he sells like Mr. Perfect in the ring. Sure his hair is different now but unless he changes his ring style he'll still get that comparison by me

Theres also that pesky "I AM PERFECTION!" theme music.

 

[SuperFerret]

I hope there's a match with the Miz sitting there in the ring during it.

 

[Nemi]

He traded in his suit for a shirt that looks even more awkward without pants. Why?

Holy **** I think he had half a foot over the rope on that entrance.

 

[SuperFerret]

Because he's the Miz and he's AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWkward?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

He traded in his suit for a shirt that looks even more awkward without pants. Why?

Dude gotta sell merch.

 

[Metallo]

That Miz shirt looks ridiculous to me. Can somebody buy these guys some pants? Even some shorts? Why wear a shirt out at all?

Oh yeah MERCH shilling.

 

[BlackLantern]

how is greasy looking blonde hair a "unique" look for Ziggler?

 

[Nemi]

Exactly. the man can sell his shirts with pants on.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

He traded in his suit for a shirt that looks even more awkward without pants. Why?

He must of been hanging out with Orton.

 

[Metallo]

how is greasy looking blonde hair a "unique" look for Ziggler?

Because not everybody in WWE has it.

How is a short dark haired haircut "unique" for Ziggler?

Way to look like you just came off the FCW assembly line, Dolph.

Short dark haired superstar look is the male equivalent off the long blond haired diva look. I couldn't tell most of them apart at WM25.

 

[Nemi]

"Look at my legs now back to me now back at my legs now BACK to ME. Sadly your legs don't look like this, but if you bought my shirt at WWE.com then you could be awesome like me.''

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I'm liking how J.R. is ignoring Cole's ******** comments.

 

[The Sage]

Cena's incorporating new moves.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Sin Cara basically has Kid Kash's offense.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Cena's incorporating new moves.

Took him a while.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Sin Cara is already over. Awesome! Triple H is smart.

 

[Wylie Times]

Took him a while.

No it didn't, he's actually been adding new moves every couple of years since he came to Raw.

 

[The Sage]

Took him a while.

He's been doing it slowly. He's been using that bulldog out of the corner and gutwrench suplex more frequently. The sitout powerslam is another welcome addition.
