The last WWE Monster I "bought"

[i.Sarita.com]

Was this man:



He had the size, the attitude, the look of someone who could kill you, badass theme music and a good manager. The WWE likes to push people as monsters (Umaga, Snitsky, Kozlov...) but Big Daddy V really was a monster.

Why was he released again? Wasn't he sick or something? I wasn't really on the the net much when he left, so I never really found out why they let him go.

The last one I truly, truly bought into was Lesnar. I figured Vis would be good as Big Daddy V, but after his previous runs as a big, fat, black guy with a blonde mohawk wrestling in pajamas, I could never fully take him seriously again. I wanted him to be a huge mega-monster heel, but it never quite fleshed out.

BDV kicked ass. He implied he might come back, so cross your fingers.

[derrtaysouth95]

he was released due to not losing weight I think. he had also been since prior to his being released.

he seems quite content to not be wrestling now....he has other things to do.

I'm buying Mike Knox.

Hopefully, they don't ruin it.

Lesnar was the last unstoppable monster I bought into. Big Daddy V was just a big fat pile of crap to me going back about 15 years.

I'm getting a little tired of him beating up Cruiserweights. He needs to show that he can destroy bigger guys like that all the time.

Khali when he was walking to the ring the first time...it lasted about 30 seconds and i saw him in the ring...

I was really into Umaga at one point. I've never really seen a WWE monster as freaking agile as that guy. I seen him obliterate someone with a high kick, splash off the top rope, and execute a perfect Samoan drop and thought "this dude is something else"

[sage]

I like Umaga, too.

I'm not sure why they pushed Kozlov when all along they've had Umaga picking on the little guys in these pointless two minute maches. Umaga probably could have pulled off those matches Kozlov had without any problem.

I Buy Kozlov

But Umaga was amazing

I was just watching some 3 Minute Warning bits from years ago last night and god those two were monsters. They pulled that press slam thrown into a samoan drop move that looked sick on anyone plus the big splashes and gut kicks. If Rosey could have come back in a similar matter and passed the Samoan gimmick off as well that would have been my favorite tag team of the 2000's bar Edge and Christian

Oh yes, Rosey and Jamal were utter beasts. They should have been the second coming of a team like the Road Warriors.

Last one I bought was Lesnar.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Well the whole weight deal was a rumor. Now from an interview he said it was something to do with his Doctor lieing to the WWE about his health. Which he said that he is fine. So it sounds like he said she said deal.

Was Lesnar really a "monster"? Granted the guy was large, muscular and extremely agile but he didn't have a feakish element to him, such as excessive girth, the inablilty to communicate or some other element that makes you stop and wonder where they found this guy.

The last guy I bought as a "monster" was George "The Animal" Steele when he was in full-on heel mode.

[krzykraka]

Big Van Vader (before WCW let Hogan come in and make him look weak)

[Push R Truth]

Umaga was the last big guy I really bought into.



Remember him getting face pops for coming out to kill Santino?


Good times.

[Turd Ferguson]

Vince has long bragged about being the guy who knows how to build monsters up ala Andre.

He mocked WCW for misusing Paul Wight. Brought him in as the Big Show. And flopped. Show was never UNstoppable.

Isn't the premise of a monster that they're unstoppable? They could build anyone as a monster, but they need to do it right. Don't have them lose, and don't have them involved in crap that people don't care about.

Lesnar came in and went over BOTH Hardys, a team that was so over, it was ridiculous. Then he moved on.

Knox can be great as a monster, but they're making it that he's having too much trouble with Rey. Why? If he's a monster, he should've gobbled up Rey and moved on to feud with someone else.

Big Daddy V was billed as a monster, and he looked like one. Then he lost to Punk a couple of times, wound up in a "feud" with the Boogeyman (which disappeared after like 2 weeks), and that was it. Same with Snitsky after he was repackaged as the ugly toothed monster. He was having boring matches with guys half his size when he should've been pounding on dude after dude and not getting pinned cleanly.
