OK let's break it down: The Fiend and the Joker: Wear a mask of someone's skin Laugh a lot Terrible characters loved by idiots Have a sidekick woman Wear waistcoats Can't wrestle Sounds pretty clear to me

CarlCX posted:Nitro was 3 hours from '98 to 2000 and then cut back to two for its last year. The third hour of Nitro was also generally useless. For awhile the unopposed hour of Nitro was where they stuck all the cruiserweight matches IIRC so they literally had all their best stuff in the hour where once it was over people could switch over to RAW

Asuka should defeat the new evil Fiend Alexa by firing an Asuka Beam at her, thus purifying her body. What is an Asuka Beam and why can Asuka fire them now? Not important.

Rhonne posted:I can't believe they actually ended the feud with Ricochet losing to Ali, but then he turned down his offer and hit his finisher on Ali, therefore "winning" the feud. I can't tell if that's better or worse than cheating to win a match in order to get the Hurt Business to leave him alone. It is working out pretty well for Ricochet too! Once he "won" the feud with Retribution he went on to get called a loser who doesn't deserve to be in the Royal Rumble, then lost a match to get into the Royal Rumble against the guy who called him a loser!

the only time no-selling was creepy was that episode of The Powerpuff Girls where they went into a post-apocalyptic future where Him destroyed the world and none of their attacks were hurting Him.

I don't know, I think WWE might be onto something. Its been a long time since I said "That sounds good, maybe I should check it out" but they'r really mastering the art of making me say "that sounds so loving terrible I almost have to see it to understand it."

Alexa was doing Harley Quinn inspired stuff before any of the Fiend things. This is really just a continuation of that.

Alexa Bliss is going to use her Fiend powers to dominate every woman on the roster, including F5'ing Nia Jax and making the ring collapse. The roster is decimated...all except for one.quote:Wrestlemania results:

HIM is a great creepy villain and Bray should imitate him instead of whatever the Fiend is. Not entirely sure about the legitimacy of lobster claws in non-DQ matches tho... Oh right, I'm also pretty sure that the Joker is usually an affable villain, and the Fiend just seems like a generic monster villain with a creepy mask (...or face? is it supposed to be his actual face?). I'm not sure if the fiend has recently begun speaking and making jokes and poo poo, but he wasn't at the start.

He makes a 'bleh' noise when he sticks his tongue out. That's about all the vocalization we get from him.

The Joker is a great character when he’s being played by someone like Nicholson or Hamill who knows how to act sinister without being an edgelord. It’s just that for twelve years he’s been played by Oscar-seekers trying to one-up Heath Ledger.

If you’ve ever wondered what the three faces of Foley thing would be like if it were ten times stupider and performed by a much worse wrestler with dogshit creative surrounding it, well that’s the Bray/Fiend/Mr Rogers gimmick.

Yeah they did not give a single solitary poo poo about the cruiserweights It really speaks to just how good those matches were that they got as over as they did. They did more for cruiserweights than WWE did though ![]() Intruder fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Powerpuff Girls was an amazing show. I like the one where they frame Mojo Jojo because they get addicted to candy.
