November 20, 201212 yr comment_5520590 Atlas with words for Chief Thunder Mountain, who's big but had to stay up all night studying for a blood test and has an IQ one point less than a banana. Atlas would have been a better "surprise" for Flair than the Junkyard Dog.
December 15, 201212 yr comment_5522636 Good Atlas promo but he really isn't working with much in this promotion with who he is calling out.
January 20, 201312 yr comment_5529129 I like how Atlas’ eyes seem to be looking over the camera. I was trying to see if maybe he was reading cue cards. If you had a blood test at the doctor you had to stay up the night before to study. Atlas is fun on the mic.
February 19, 201312 yr comment_5536049 I liked this promo more than some of the more recent Tony Atlas promos on the set because it sounded like he was building up an issue, rather than just talking about himself. Tony Atlas is wasting away here in ICW, which seems to have a TV show but no idea what to do with that TV show. Unfortunately, when Atlas finally does get out of ICW, it's not for a better situation for himself.
January 6, 201510 yr comment_5648402 That depends on what you mean by "a better situation", Cox. While Saba Simba was a lousy gimmick, it paid more than what he was doing here and allowed him to get out of debt. At any rate, "The Man" cuts a promo on a worthy named Chief Thunder Mountain here, and does so with style. Yes, the gags are stolen directly from Jerry Lawler's jokebook, but the fact that they're coming out of Atlas's mouth makes them at least somewhat less stale. I wish that he had more to work with too, but the other big star in ICW (Heyman) just left for WCW, and he was a heel anyway, so Tony had to make do with this kind of stuff. I agree about Atlas being a better surprise for Flair than JYD. Here's another for you: Atlas instead of Tiny Lister as Zeus in No Holds Barred.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781284 Atlas says that ‘Chief’ may be 400 and something odd pounds, and he does mean ‘odd’ pounds! He might be over 6’2” and might have been lucky enough to get himself in the ICW, one of the finest wrestling leagues anywhere in the world today, but there is one thing that he doesn’t have and that’s a brain. If a doctor wanted to give him a blood test he’d stay up all night studying for it! If they were to give him an IQ test they would realise his IQ is one point less than that of a banana! The reason he doesn’t have brains is because he stick his nose in his business the business of the champion, the business of the man and he’s the only man around here who takes care of business! He’s going to take care of Chief, he’s going to scalp him and when he gets through with him he’ll never stick his nose in his business again, and he’ll never mess with the man again! Think ‘Chief’ is a wrestler but that’s all I have. Nice to see some focus with an Atlas promo here, for as good as they have been, I was tiring of hearing him just talking about himself and ‘the man’ all the time.
February 27, 20178 yr comment_5789833 So Tony Atlas is going down to Memphis to follow up after the Snowman angle finishes right? I mean, who wouldn't want to see this guy go up against Lawler? The microphone battles would be incredible and Lawler could carry him to good matches in MSC.
