Posted October 15, 200519 yr comment_3676763 I just saw the BoogeyMan's debut on Smackdown and it was so weird and awful that I couldn't even laugh at how bad the segment was.
October 15, 200519 yr Author comment_3676883 Just to add. How many times has Batista fallen for the heel pretending to be a face gag. He's looking like a complete retard to be buying into the Eddie reform after getting burned by Flair multiple times.
October 15, 200519 yr comment_3677067 Boogeyman totall ripped off Freddie Krueger with his rhyme. Literally. The exact same rhyme about Freddie.
October 15, 200519 yr comment_3677522 Can wrestling even attempt camp? We need John Waters in here stat.
October 15, 200519 yr comment_3678235 Um, I got the impression that everything you guys mentiones was exactly what they were going for. None of that was suppossed to be perceived as original or logical. The "scary character" never got over, but the whole "weird and wacky" thing was written on the wall so...
October 16, 200519 yr comment_3687653 Between the Boogeyman and the new midget divison, it's clear Vince hates Smackdown.
October 16, 200519 yr comment_3687967 The minis *could* be awesome if they bring in the right guys and don't try to inhibit them, and also if they don't have the top heavyweight heels destroy them singlehandedly and have them participate in raunchy backstage skits. The only problem with it is that WWE should really be avoiding putting things on TV right now that at first impression would embarass a fan watching with his non-fan buddies. That's the type of thing you debut during a boom.
October 16, 200519 yr comment_3688193 There's a lot of things that could have been awesome if WWE didn't handcuff them, so I don't see why this would be any different.
October 16, 200519 yr Author comment_3688548 Are they really talking about bringing in minis or are you talking about the Tolands who attacked the Mexicools. The Tolands are actually fairly decent and funny when given the chance.
October 16, 200519 yr comment_3688617 They're devoting a whole division on Smackdown to what they're calling "Juniors", which is anyone under 5 feet tall.
October 17, 200519 yr comment_3688715 This is standard proceedure for the WWE. They did this in the mid-90's. The question is "why?". Is it because they are well-aware they did it in the mid-90's and are doing it again hoping to recreate the atmosphere which created Stone Cold Steve Austin? In otherwords, "If it worked then, it will work now". Or are they just throwing shit on the wall to see what sticks. Or have they totally forgotten the mid-90's and are doing it for the exact same reasons they did it before? In other words, they are losing/have lost their current fans, have tried everything to get them back, and are now moving on to different demographics - ie: Mexicans, hoping it increase their fanbase in that area. The third option is most likely, but I wouldn't put it passed them on the first one and second one either just cause that's where they are at right now. However, in all cases, if they don't see the results they are looking for in the first few months, we won't be seeing the "juniors" beyond Wrestlemania, and if I were to give them and their patience the benefit of the doubt, Summerslam.
October 17, 200519 yr comment_3688800 What I find funny is that with the return of the McMahons, Austin, and now minis, if any viewers who used to watch when they left USA came back they would think nothing has changed in 5 years.
