I said this in the wwe thread, but it annoyed me a lot. Billy Gunn tearing that guy down for saying mother fucker was the lamest thing I have seen from wwe in a while. "Mr rear end" the guy who's gimmick was showing his rear end to the crowd and telling people to suck his dick if they don't like him is telling a guy to not curse in front of ladies.

El Gallinero Gros posted:The difference is his catchphrase was always watered down from a S&P perspective, and motherfucker has never been allowed on any of the networks they've been on. Furthermore, DX's shenanigans with pseudo profanity wouldn't be allowed on their program today. While that's true the whole thing of dressing the guy down in front of everyone because he cursed in front of ladies coming from Mr rear end Billy Gunn just came off as really forced and lame.

Benne posted:"Don't say the F word on network TV" is, like, TV training 101. Better to get it out of their system now than to deal with the heat when you accidentally drop "motherfucker" on Raw. It wasn't him telling him not to say the f word though. That's fine and understandable. It's this corporate faux outrage about offending the women in the building that got to me. It's the moral indignation.

DynamiteKidd posted:I was actually considering making a video for TE. First I said "I'm a cruiserweight, I can cruiser-wait til next year when I'm in better shape, jack", then I heard they were mostly looking for people who would be reality TV 'characters' so like jeez whatever. Yeah that was kind of bothering me too. I like the first couple seasons when there are a lot of skinny little dorks. Everybody on this season looks to be pretty athletic and will probably pick up wrestling fairly quick. Who knows though. I am glad they brought that Brazilian girl back though. I enjoyed her getting on peoples nerves.

Codependent Poster posted:Nah, Tanner's right in that Patrick is coming across as fake. He's pushing the "I'm the only fan!" angle too hard. It works though because he is already crafting a gimmick and selling it to the audience, and if he gets voted off he can get the twitter fans talking about how it was rigged and Patrick was the only real fan anyway. It's really smart.

I was thinking this the other day. Tough enough would be way better if it was about working wrestlers trying to get a contract.

Whats funny is that wwe getting mad at ZZ really kind of highlights some of the problems with wwe. Everyone wants the wrestlers to be able to do literally anything now. Talk, wrestle, be charismatic, and they don't take into consideration that some people just don't have it all. If this was an older promotion they could have ZZ go out there with some really basic rear end training have him be himself take a few bumps and get over by being himself. I always think of ECW and how Paul Heyman made New Jack and Sandman into main event people. Two dudes who couldn't wrestle at all, but they had some weird charisma and he made it so they really didn't need to really wrestle all that much and boom instant stars. They knew that ZZ wasn't in shape and really didn't seem like he wanted to be in shape. Not to mention that he is like 19 years old and really is just doing it for fun. They just really don't look at the long term side of things.

sportsgenius86 posted:Be careful what you wish for. Don't put a fat kid on Tough Enough because he's a reality star and then expect him to run his course or whatever. When you bring in some Swamp People kid to try to appeal to a larger audience with your show, you really don't have a right to get lovely when that audience keeps the guy around. I agree, it's not ZZ's fault that they brought him back. It's like when republicans get mad at a republican for blatantly saying something they have been dog whistling for months.

SamuraiFoochs posted:How does it not make sense? They're running drills, they're doing things mechanically because most of them have no clue what they're doing. They're not being told to sell. So what, why should a person who is clearly more knowledgeable have to go backwards and take baby steps just because the other contestants have no idea what they are doing.

Hammerstein posted:Exactly this. They always dream of getting the total package, a guy who can wrestle, talk, has the looks and is over with the crowd. They completely forget that for every John Cena you have 50 Zack Ryders or 100 Alex Rileys and that someone who is gifted in all these departments might have other options than sports entertainment. Well think about it like this too. Undertaker didn't become a good worker until pretty recently. He wasn't really a good promo for a really long time either. So how do we fix that? Let Paul Barrer do the talking, and lets make his matches short to make him look dominating. One of the trainers Billy Gunn was pretty good in the ring, but on the mic he really wasn't that interesting. Road Dogg wasn't a good worker, but he was good on the mic. Let's team them up. It doesn't take much to figure this stuff out. Why do they think all these old wrestling tropes like managers and tag teams exist in the first place. They are ways to hide the wrestlers weak areas while emphasizing their strong points. I think WWE just takes themselves way too seriously.

Charles Gnarwin posted:ZZ not understanding the concept of learning would have been the highlight of Tough Talk if we didn't get Paige being utterly confused by his use of the English language. I honestly don't see the charisma. He bores the poo poo out of me. I think Tanner has some charisma but he doesn't know how to channel it. I was actually thinking while watching Tough Talk Tanner and ZZ would make a good tag team.
