Wall Banger/Professional Wrestling: Difference between revisions

Line 35:
* The feud between Disco Inferno and Ernest "The Cat" Miller, based on the two of them being wrestlers who dance. All leading up to a match at Bash at the Beach in which the loser would no longer be allowed to dance. However, someone in the back realized that whoever lost the match would basically end up losing his gimmick, so the stipulation was axed. This would've been fine if they haven't realized it ''just before the match''. Thus, this feud was reduced into a [[Shaggy Dog Story]].
 
=== [[TNA]] ===
* Not quite long (or bad) enough for Wrestling's [[So Bad It's Horrible/Professional Wrestling|So Bad It's Horrible]] section: The demi-feud between [[Samoa Joe]] and Kevin Nash. Nash - in his role as Joe's slightly scuzzy [[Obi Wan]] - told Joe that you have to [[Genius Bruiser|fight with your brain as well as your brawn]]. Sage advice, coming from anyone other than Nash, who at 7 feet tall and nearly 300 pounds has never fought - much less won - a match where his style was anything other than "brawl brawl, Big Foot, Power Bomb." Not to mention his "mind games" have never come into play anywhere other than backstage politics. He compounded his comedy of errors by showing Joe "how to do things right" by challenging Booker T... and proceeding to wrestle the stereotypical "throw the smaller guy around" big-man's style. It's one thing to have one character bold-face lie about his accomplishments, but it's another to have that character go out and prove the lie a lie in the ring. Doing it all within an hour and ''then'' expecting the audience to take it at face value? '''{{[[[Face Palm]] headdesk}}]'''
* The three-hour TNA Impact featuring Hulk Hogan's debut was a bit of a mixed bag, with some truly great moments (example: AJ Styles vs. [[Kurt Angle]]). At one point, Jeff Jarrett got on the mic and began a spiel about how TNA was doing well, and mentioning the great young talent, which was then cut off by Hulk Hogan, who ranted about Jarrett having a huge ego and how he always attempted to put himself over while keeping newer wrestlers down, ''without any irony whatsoever''. There is some justification for calling Jarrett out on this, but compared to ''Hogan''?
