More WCW fun

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Since you posted the link to the "White Castle of Fear" mini-movie, I figure I would send you the links to "Spin the wheel, make the deal" and "Beach Bash" mini-movies too so you can share them with others on the blog.

The world thanks you!

Gimmicks

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Hey Scott,
I want to ask how you feel about gimmicks and their marketablity. It seems these days, a "gimmick" is becoming less rare, especially in comparison to their heyday in the Hogan era. Specifically referring to WWE, the average wrestler these days comes out with just a name (usually their real one or a close variation), a pair of tights and a crew cut. It's basically the "cookie-cutter superstar" that the fed enjoys promoting.

Dead Men Don’t Do Morphoplex

I apologize if you've seen this, but any comment?

Really, unless they can come up with another supplement that can deliver the same “look” and style of physique that steroids can, only genetic freaks like John Cena can get away with not using them on the way to the top.  Let’s be totally honest here, steroids alone are not the main problem, it’s the vicious cycle of injuries and painkillers that are really crippling the industry.  Just look at Ken Kennedy.  Steroids enlarging the heart and causing heart attacks might kill individuals, but guys jumping off ladders and then taking bottles of Oxycontin are the larger-scale problem.  Either way, the solution is not whatever stupid ICOPro supplement Larry is shilling.  But you knew that. 

Also, someone needs to name their finish the Morphoplex, just because it would be awesome.
