The start of Tajiris run in the WWE might count? He was essentially Regals comedy manservent, then went into the ring and tajiri'd the gently caress out of some poor bastard. Google tells me it was Crash Holly. If I'm honest what I mainly remember is Regals fantastic facial expressions as Regal realised that the man he'd been heaping with abuse was in fact a viciously competent wrestler.

Davros1 posted:Maybe not the most successful, but the Big Bossman character has to be up there. Then you'd also have to look at gimmicks like The Road Warriors and The Rock-N-Roll Express, which I'd argue are more successful than the Undertaker's, purely on the sheer number of imitators they inspired. For similar reasons you have to at least entertain an arguement for Gorgeous George (not the WCW lady, the original one).

Lamuella posted:It puts me in mind a bit of public speaking. I have to do talks and classes and stuff as part of my job, and there's really three ways you can do that. If it's a subject you don't know at all, you will probably have the text of exactly what you want to say. If it's a subject you've talked about before and you're comfortable with, you might have a few subjects or just a handful of bullet points. And sometimes you can just speak from the heart with no notes at all. Its like acting: Some actors like to get very method, others are "have you tried acting, dear boy, its so much easier", some like a lot of improv, some like to stick exactly to a script. Audience ideally will never know as long as the performances work on camera/stage. Problems occur when you force an actor who is great at improv but bad at scripts to stick rigidly to the script, or when you force someone with no experience or aptitude with improv to wing it. Which is when we get things like "Oh, we hosed up that spot. Better just do the exact same spot again!"

Lamuella posted:Funnily enough, the Summer of Punk happened AFTER he was offered a WWE contract. Back in the day I remember hearing that if the WWE were interested in you, they'd put you in a dark match with Val Venis or another Journeyman wrestler. He's a steady hand that they know works a fine enough WWE style match, so if the match sucks out loud its probably not going to be his fault, but hes no shining star either so if the match is amazing its not because Venis is doing the worlds greatest carry job.

TheKingslayer posted:The Doomsday Device always seemed really hard to safely bump from. I always felt like if they did the version where animal fell over backwards with the victim it was probably safer/easier to take than if they did the version where animal just stayed standing (and sometimes gave the victims legs a shove up) and they rotate through 270 degrees before hitting the mat.

It was usually the middle rope with Harley rather than the top. And it really was kind of a "stand on the middle turnbuckle, fall forward" type of affair which doesnt look nearly as high impact as other versions of the move, but then again Harley lived to his mid 70s and I believe all his kids are still alive so I'll give it a pass.

A lot of years ago a couple of friends of mine were trainee wrestlers, and they were going to have their first match with the promotion associated with the school. Okay, they were mainly going to be warm bodies making up the numbers in a top rope battle royale, but they were tapped to at least get some offense in on other trainees before being eliminated by the guys whose names were on the poster. the evening of the show a visiting wrestler (whose name I wish I could remember, he'd had like a cup of coffee in the WWE in the 90s, and his best days were very much behind him. He looked a lot like a bald egg in a black singlet) asked what my pals finish was, and he said "Its a sort of arm trap sit out cutter" to which the veteran (whose finish was essentially the stone cold stunner) responded, and I'm told this is a direct quote "AS LONG AS MY ARSE POINTS SOUTH YOU WILL NOT BE USING A CUTTER AS A FINISH IN THIS OR ANY OTHER FED". So thats how my mate was assigned a submission finish which he had to make the best of for the rest of his (brief) wrestling career. ETA: He was also billed as being i think 4 inches taller than my mates (shoot) height, despite being visibly much shorter than him.

Not jobs for life, but Val Venis and I think the Godfather were kept around in the WWE for much longer than you would expect because they were seen as "good hands", solid journeyman wrestlers who could be used for try-out matches for new talent. If you couldnt have a decent match with Val you probably werent much use to the WWE. Plus their gimmicks could get a nice easy pop in dark matches to warm up the crowd.
