What they really mean is that you do a mean impression of the Kool-Aid man, they just don't want to hurt your feelings.

wrestling kinda bothers me for the same reason old westerns bother me: kids watching bloodless, consequence-less violence.

make em watch R-rated blood gushing hella disturbing and nauseating violence, make em understand why violence is only to be used as an absolute last measure.

I'd argue there should be more wrestling and old westerns on TV, with much more bloodless and consequenceless violence.

srsly I want to see kids popping off ol' John Wayne and Clint Eastwood one-liners when they knock off their peers with their six shooters and going "yeeeehaw we just waxed that injun now off to the saloon to play some piany" followed by some awesome gun-twirling topped off with a moss-covered three-handled family gredunza.

Psst... etiquitte is that if you plan to change someone's quote, you bold it and say something silly like 'fixed!' so it doesn't look like I'd really want to watch professional strip poker.

Not bad, not bad! My only real crit is that your voice is a bit too young still... I imagine by the time you're 40, it'll sound perfect.

I was a big fan of wrestling in high school, then fell off it in college. It's still fun to go back and see what's going on every now and then. It crazy-impressive how they can pull off the choreography in some of those moves. TNA is especially entertaining to me (thanks, youtube!) in that regard.

To be fair all the voices I do sound better after I've been drinking for awhile. But "sounds a bit to young" is a critisism I can tolerate

... That Macho Man was pretty decent, surprisingly. I expected it to suck HARD. Note: Your next impression must include the "Kingdom of Madness, yeah" phrase. The promo must end with a "DIG IT!"

I didn't watch wrestling for the last little while because I was content watching my Wrestlemania/Royal Rumble anthologies. Modern wrestling doesn't interest me as much as it used to, but I have to say ... I am intrigued by this Vince McMahon death angle. I wish the fans wouldn't crap on it everytime it gets brought up. Ah well.

Also, did I see someone hate on Trevor Murdoch? MURDOCH RULES! LEARN SOME RESPECT, MAN!

They're likely crapping on it because it's incredibly tasteless. I am curious were it leads....but the thing I worry about the most is everywhere they mention his death, they throw that "presumed" word in front of it, suggesting to me they're leaving the door open for Vince to strut out some week.

I do not wish to watch a McMahonertaker.

You wouldn't mark for Zombie McMahon?

Not when it means it offends Chris Jericho thus convincing him from ever returning to WWE. :/

If you can get up and close when a match is going on, you could hear the wrestlers whisper to each other what move they're going to pull.

Frankodragon · Post by **Frankodragon** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 8:38 am

I wonder if Ric Flair farts during a match would he do a long "WOOOOO!"?

I don't like watching wrestling, but I enjoyed the hell out of Celebrity Deathmatch.

(I guess those two aren't really that comparible though)

The Neko · Post by **The Neko** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:56 pm

Heh. I love some of the episodes of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Although my memory of a lot of them is pretty fuzzy. Wasn't there one where Howard Stern used farting as a finishing move?

JTigerclaw · Post by **JTigerclaw** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 10:01 pm

Hmmmmmm... yes, that would make sense, since Howard Stern played the role of "Fartman" on the Video Music Awards a while ago... unfortunately, I forget that episode of Celebrity Deathmatch.

I love the one where Hanson was fighting the Spice Girls (I think) and Marilyn Manson came out of nowhere and slaughtered them all. Now that's what I call entertaining!
