I still don't understand the logic in reminding WWF fans that two of their biggest stars jumped ship, and outraging them by doing this stuff. Just really, really dumb. Once again, my thoughts exactly. "Guess what fans, we own these trademarks!" And the response is "okay, but that doesn't mean I want to watch someone else doing it". Impossible to see the upside, and unlike 'The Real JJ', this one has a stark downside.
January 28, 201114 yr comment_5463374 This is WWF getting desperate while WCW was just kicking their asses with the angle of the decade. How could they thought it would get over ? I did like Ross pseudo heel turn though. Heel Ross would have been a blast. I'm very critical of what Ross became later, but I really loved his work during this time preceding the Attitude Era.
January 29, 201114 yr comment_5463454 Ross is a natural heel. With A heel announcer he is unbearable he gets so antagonistic.
February 3, 201114 yr comment_5463914 Ditch, I may be wrong but my gut feeling is that the fake razor and diesel guys were really just there to reinforce their argument in the lawsuit ie Nash and Hall and therefore WcW are infringing on our gimmicks. EDIT: Sorry but this was already discussed in the Jim ross interview thread
February 3, 201114 yr comment_5463920 That could well be it. Not as though they flogged the angle to death in reality. It was just so actively bad that every segment was interminable.
February 3, 201114 yr comment_5463922 Odd that Rick Bogner never did anything of note in the US. He was a decent power wrestler. Better than Jacobs anyway.
April 4, 201510 yr comment_5663283 Man oh man, as unpleasant as Ross is, '90s Monsoon is even moreso, so it did my heart good to see Ross completely light into Gorilla, who finally had to deal with someone who could give it right back to him. Shades of JR having to deal with Jesse in 1992. Oh, yeah, and this is stupid, of course. I guess it was effective in a court of law, and in the long run it would pay off, but that doesn't make for entertaining television.
January 22, 20169 yr comment_5722559 Two awful WWF ideas behind each other. They were gaining some momentum but still had some turd stuff on their programming. This gets worse and worse by the week and the Diesel debut was ridiculous.
May 13, 20178 yr comment_5800222 This went on & on. Gorilla & JR arguing on commentary is fun at first but gets more annoying as the match seems to never end. The snorefest ends when Fake Diesel interferes & he & Fake Razor hit their finishing moves. This is very bad.
February 1, 20187 yr comment_5830877 This story does come with some morbid curiosity but makes WWF look so, so bush league. Both Razor and Diesel just look ridiculous.
April 9Apr 9 comment_6028867 They did this for the lawsuit? You'd think Vince might have some other priorities right about now.
