The official Mego Museum pro wrasslin' thread

This thread is for everything pro wrestling related.


Ok...


Many of you know Randy Orton is my favorite current pro wrestler.

But I don't like something that's going on right now...he's slowly turning into a face (meaning "good guy").

I don't like it one bit.

Randy Orton is WWE's apex predator...the Viper...the numero uno heel ("bad guy").

Now he's actually getting cheered...not booed by the crowd.

What the heck???

I can't take this!!!

[Mikey]

I only like Cowboy Bob Orton

[Riffster]

yeah seems unnatural for him to be cheered. they shoulda turned Dibiasi face

[The Toyroom]

Really "good" bad guys that are over as bad guys usually get turned to faces at one point or another to capitalize on their popularity....

See: Razor Ramon, Roddy Piper, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, The Undertaker, The Rock, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels...the list goes on and on. It's a rite of passage.

Hey,
I don't like the fact that Batista went bad. Not necessarily that he did, but the way he did it, by screwing Rey. That ticked me off. Of course, Edge has turned 'good', in a way, and still retained his bad image, so they could do the same with Orton.

Yeah he's(Orton)one you love to hate,kinda of like Ric Flair back in the 70's and 80's.

Orton has been Getting Cheer'ed for Months ..., about the Same Time his Story Arc with Cena Started . I see it too ..., that they seem to be making him a Face ..., But he also Has Kinda been a Bad Guy, Good Guy, Bad Guy ..., and now perhaps a Good Guy Again .

Look At Stone Cold.
The Dude Was never supposed to be this Face....
He was the Ultimate Badguy ...., That was Cheer'ed For Kicking everyone's Arse. The Fan's even Cheer'ed him in the Hight of his Heal Roll ..., when He and Bret had their fight ..., thus pushing Bret to the Heal Status.

People Just like People Kicking Arse ..., the Shade of Grey is the More Popular Color ...,, and Really Has been Since Taker ..., then Stone Cold, and so forth.


In Non related news ..., you guys hear the Chant last night against Cena "You can't Wrestle,... You can't Wrestle ..."

Well ....I thought it was funny ....


Orton will never be the "Boy Scout" Cena is ..., so I seriously doubt, you have anything to worry about.

I can't stand Edge being a good guy ...
Batista being bad works ..., and he says funny stuff ..., well I find it funny.

They been doing that for years now...and I always love it...

[Hector]

BTW...good points on Orton, guys...

[kingdom warrior]

Orton gets cheered no matter what Best Heel in years I love to hate him....I saw him live last year during the Raw tour and the man got cheered......

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was a heel I HATED when i was a kid.....but anytime i see him now I like him he was just so good as a heel.

Batista is Hilariously bad as a heel LOL! can't sell the bad guy image now.....

I like Edge he cracks me up I want him to drive Jericho's head into the cement.....

[The Toyroom]

Sooo.....this year's WWE Hall of Fame Inductees:
Antonio Inoki
"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Wendi Richter
Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon
Gorgeous George
Stu Hart
Bob Uecker (Celebrity Inductee)

Couple points....
1) Do we NEED a Celebrity Inductee? C'mon, that's stupid.....
2) Why isn't Cyndi Lauper inducting Richter? (it's Roddy Piper)
3) Ted DiBiase is LONG overdue IMO...one of the best WWF heels of all-time!

I kinda like Batista as a heel...

[Captain]

I wonder if the switching sides bit for Orton and Batista has anything to do with the WWE's new motion picture arm? (Yep...they make their own crappy movies now). Both have films out later this year, and I'll bet their switching sides has something to do with the roles they have in their respective movies. I havent heard what Batistas is about yet, but Ortons has him playing a tough but loving father...or something like that. Big Show has a comedy one coming out too..that might be watcheable?

Anybody see Dibiase's direct to video movie?

[Hector]

Anybody see Dibiase's direct to video movie?

I have it on my Netflix Queue...but it's behind movies like The Blind Side, Hurt Locker, etc...I want to see those first.
