Found his debut on youtube (3:15 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S57IZhSHqGk He's clearly heel doing the "YOU PEOPLE" schtick on Foley, but his "I'm an Arab-American victimized by post-9/11 fear" was something that was going on at the time and wasn't overly racist until he started praying in the ring and having masked men attack his enemies.

I loved how he spoke about negative stereotypes about Arab people and then used the Camel Clutch as his finish. I'm honesty surprised they didn't put him in the curly toed boots.

I don't care, he had that awesome, awesome moment in the Royal Rumble where he entered, a crowd of like ten stopped to look as he taunted, and then they all mugged him.

How many people are using the name El Hijo de Rey Misterio? I was looking at some matches and interviews and it never seemed to be the same person.

There are two. One was the son of Rey Sr., who is the WWE Rey Mysterio's uncle. He sucked and apparently burned some bridges, and they gave the gimmick to somebody else and that dude is apparently a pretty decent lucha guy. I believe the original Hijo retired due to alienating people and injuries.

I was in TFF and they have this Arthouse where people draw comics and poo poo, and one thought came to mind. How in the hell isn't there a PSP Arthouse? Every sub-forum should have an Arthouse, and there has to be SOMEONE at least basically talented in art. I'm more surprised there wasn't an Arthouse here first. No artists in the house?

I would love the thread, though

I was thinking of WWF 1994-1995 and that the era had the most atrocious mid-carders in the history of professional wrestling. Duke Droese, Adam Bomb, Salvatore Sincere, Mabel, TL Hopper, The Goon. Is there any other era in wrestling where the lower card, mid-carders were just so poor compared to the main eventers?

Psh, The Goon was awesome. His finisher was checking the other guy into the guardrail, diving into the ring and winning by countout. That's awesome.

The Barbarian done the same thing. As was pointed out on OSWReview, it's a pretty poo poo gimmick, because it means you are NEVER winning a title.

Has twitter been used in a major swerve before Henry used it last month on RAW? I can't seem to remember one but there was a long stretch last year where I didn't watch wrestling.

I don't keep up with the product anymore but hear things now and then. How is Tensai's new career going? It seemed they were pushing him as a potential main eventer close after his debut but his lack of heat/terrible as all get out gimmick seemed to kill it. I just thought it was really cool Albert was back in the WWE so I don't really want to see him fail.

Jobbers to the stars really does seem to sum them up. They're pushed enough that they'll most likely win over the Usos or the Prime Time Players or Rhodes Scholars, but will lose to Shield or Hell No or...well, I guess that's the entire division.

I was watching part of Survivor Series 2011 the other day and I got to the bit where Punk wheels out Howard Finkel to announce him. Has anyone ever properly found out why the announcers all start crying with laughter and taking the piss when he gets all choked up from MSG chanting his name and he has to stop for a second? Was it all genuine or was Vince in their ears going 'QUICK poo poo ALL OVER IT'? It just seems odd because on its own it's a really nice moment with Fink tearing up at how much love this crowd has for him but it's slightly spoiled by the announcers going 'LOOK AT THIS loving IDIOT, GET HIM OFF THE STAGE'

Vince is a crazy old man with outdated thoughts on machismo, so the crying probably told him to bully Finkel however he could.
