The Wrestling Thread Will Take You Out, Like On a Date

[Hunter Rider]

Absolutely. Even the guys who have traditionally had flashy entrances--like Orton--have dropped them. It seems like Unstoppable H in the only guy who does his whole routine these days.

I was saying a while back that nobody has pyro or other entrance effects anymore, which I think is hurting the entrance pops. Right now, I think Mark Henry could use some effects (like smoke, maybe?) and CM Punk could use some unique lighting (something unmistakable, like the way the lights alone can identify Unstoppable H's entrance).

The overmask is a cool touch, and his whole entrance there was well done.

Agreed, they could all do with something to spice up the entrances, I mean I'm not a Del Rio fan and it is a JBL rip off but at least his flash car entrances and Orton-esque sparkling fireworks in the background give him some sizzle. Orton had moody lighting when he fitst got the voices music but they have dropped that now as well. the last really good attempt at an entrance was Batista's during his heel run with the spotlight tracking him to the ring.

Yeah everything about Kane's return tonight was pulled off really well.

Yeah, when the cows come home.

Well if you call them cows they will never come.

Is it The Undertaker or Kane?

I kept changing my mind as I watched it but I think it was Kane doing the brawling. Was that from the big angle in the summer of 98?

Who could be the "she" that holds the secret of Jericho's return?

Steph, the one truly behind getting Triple H ousted from control of Raw. It would make a much better feud for Punk than him trashing Laryngitis as the general fans just don't really know why he is so hated.

Brodus tweeted your poster?

 

[Superark]

I cannot believe I missed the return of Kane in his mask! Kane was always one of my favorite wrestling characters when he had the mask and I felt his character went way down hill when they took it off of him.

I'm glad to see that side of his character return

 

[NDX]

Brouds tweeted your poster?

Yup. One of the PW247 faithful tweeted him the DA link, he retweeted it and then tweeted the poster.

Never expected it to actually get to him, even with how Twitter works.

 

[Microchip]

That was awesome. I agree his costume could be better, but I couldn't stop looking at the MASK

 

[SpideyInATree]

I kept changing my mind as I watched it but I think it was Kane doing the brawling. Was that from the big angle in the summer of 98?

Yeah, that was the build up to their match at Summerslam. The main reason I remember is because they played Highway to Hell and they REALLY overplayed the crap out of that song in the build up to Summerslam

 

[NDX]

Still, it was a good build to a match I still remember today. In the mid-late 90s, I barely bought any PPVs. But I went out of the way to get that one.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Yargh! Yeah.. Him, for some reason I always get the two mixed up.

Maybe because they are essentially the same guy?

 

[SpideyInATree]

Oh yeah, I won't deny that. They just had a habit of really overplaying songs for the PPV's. I just really hated when they used Limp Bizkit one year for Wrestlemania...and I think Undertaker used Rollin' as entrance music when he was going through that "American Bad Ass" gimmick

The return of Kane sounds awesome. I wonder if Brodus Clay pitched an idea about attacking Cena.

Doesn't seem like a good a lead in for a PPV but maybe they'll announce Cena vs Kane on Smackdown.

 

[NDX]

Yeah, the Limp Bizkit is unforgivable.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Oh yeah, I won't deny that. They just had a habit of really overplaying songs for the PPV's. I just really hated when they used Limp Bizkit one year for Wrestlemania...and I think Undertaker used Rollin' as entrance music when he was going through that "American Bad Ass" gimmick

Wasn't he using 'American Badass' by Kid Rock?

 

[SpideyInATree]

Wasn't he using 'American Badass' by Kid Rock?

Yeah, he did...but I remember he used Rollin' and then switched to the Kid Rock song...which was much better but still hated that time period for Undertaker.

 

[Superark]

I've been out of the wrestling loop for a while so I've been having to play catch up, and man James Storm cut one of the best promos I've seen in a long time in TNA and WWE.

Storm and Roode are on fire!

[Wheels]

Wasn't he using 'American Badass' by Kid Rock?

When he returned in 2000? Yes.

He started using "Rollin'"in late 2000/early 2001.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Am I the only one that thought that Kane wasn't going after Cena specifically, but rather since Mark Henry escaped, Kane was just typical Kane and demolished whoever the **** he could get his hands on?

 

[Kane52630]

That was my assessment as well.

 

[bullets]

Yeah , he might of been just making an impact. It would kind of suck if he got jobbed out to Cena right away.

 

[Kane52630]

Found this pic on wwe.com, it shows his entire attire.

 

[NDX]

Lackluster costume, yes, but who cares, that mask.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Damn, the mask looks even better w/out the red lights.

 

[SuperBatman]

IDK if U looked at Kanes last Promo there was a Flash of Cena in it the question is why

[YT]2CHkg0ciTM0[/YT]

Pause it at 08

 

[cabel]

Did Cena spill coffee on him?
