To me it's more important to stand out, without looking like a freak that is, to be able to make it obvious when you set foot on the mat, that it's you... no one can mistake you for someone else. This is something Swagger had, but lost somehow, but DB has it.... So does Punk.</p><p> </p><p> Looking different and being talented means more then "bigger and better physique" or "more like a stereotypical champion". You can look at people like Cena and Sheamus, Orton or Rock, etc... and say "Hey, they are all muscular and stuff!" or... You can notice that there is no way your going to NOT know that's them in the ring... Same with Austin, although at times a couple of my friends got him mixed up with Goldberg. Point is they were all talented in a way that got them noticed... no matter if it was in entertaining and talking, or in the ring.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Road Dogg being offered the push, and him turning it down. Road Dogg was awesome at what he did, but I didn't see a lot of untapped potential there.

You have to remember the talent pool these days is far drier than it was in Gunn's era. So the fact Gunn never got over was largely because another train was always coming: Foley, Rock, Triple H, Austin, somebody always derailed his push. I think Ziggler is just far more fortunate the WWE can't make new stars like they used to. Because he just strikes me as vanilla WWE Superstar No. 135 just like Billy Gunn did... Stars usually break the mold. Both of them always seem/ed to embrace it.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtplaystew Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 First of all, the Bellas don't look like drag queens. Secondly, the idea that ANY wrestler, least of all one like Road Dogg, TURNED DOWN a push is simply hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20LEgend Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If any of you guys get the opportunity, watch the documentary called, "The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family". It covers a year in the life of the Knight family from England and includes the moment when Britani was signed to a WWE developmental contract. Highly recommended viewing. I enjoyed it a part from the mum, who was annoying. I thought at first they were going to make wrestling look like some "Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" thing where they basically make people look stupid so the viewer feel better about their crappy lives, but it was pretty good in the end. The voice over were bigging up her being on TV a bit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, the idea that ANY wrestler, least of all one like Road Dogg, TURNED DOWN a push is simply hard to believe. Pretty sure I've heard a few wrestlers in their time decline pushes, even non veterans. It is sort of a different ball game climbing up the ladder, plus there could be so many issues at those times unbeknownst to us, whether politics, schedule obligations or relationships.

It'd be pretty sad news if we all found the same women attractive sooooo if you don't agree with my comment, fine - I have no problem with you thinking they are hot or whatever, but it doesn't make what I THINK change in any way - even with a heavily edited picture.
