What little things that a character/performer does just make the character all the better?
My example would be Kerwin from this past Monday. He cuts this promo, most of you deemed pretty damn racist, then he sits back down and rides off in his golf cart all the while whistling his song and snapping his fingers like nothing happening. I just find that hilarious for some reason.
On a slightly strange attention to detail, I think Maria was in the next segment whistling the same thing herself.

I like how Hurricane does all the little poses and grins like a goofball whenever he says something particularly clever.

The all time greatest catchphrase ever:
"WASSUPWITDAT?"
Hurricane stole thunder from HHH, people. Why this man isn't doing things higher on the card, I'll never know.

Also Christian's little asides and smart remarks like the one in my sig. That was one of the funniest moments I've seen in wrestling in a long time.

Character wise noone beats the Hurricane. From his goofy persona and individualistic way of selling everything i just love watching him in the ring
And Christian side remarks make him my fave wrestler ever

Yes, because everything Vince does, well by God dammit, I should think that way too!

I thought SNitsky trying to suck Maria's toes was pretty funy, mainly because Maria was SO fascinated by his story
Gene:THis lil piggy went to market
Maria: REALLY!?!?!?

Sometimes not actually speaking very much at all can help...Batista used to be cool...then he started talking alot. Repeating back to someone everything they just said in a high whiny voice does not an animal make.

I love when a heel is giving a face a hard time and the Hurricane pops in like he dropped out of the sky.
I agree with the Batista comment. That's why Evolution was great, he was the problem solver and didn't need to talk

they need to have what i call an 'instant finisher.' It's one of the main selling points of people like stone cold, shawn micheals, mick foley and to a lesser degree chris benoit and the rock. They're generally moves that can look nasty but more importantly be done so fast the fans will take a few minutes to realize it happened(like the sweet chin music that took hogan down to start it all off. I was in the chat with you guys and it took us atleast 3 minutes to figure out why hogan was on the ground.) they're usually paired up with some big set up like the 'warming up the band' or steve's two finger salute followed by the kick to the gut. The value of these moves is that they add excitement to the character just for wondering when the move will be used. That's a big thing to me anyway. it's also one of the reasons that i'm not a big fan of cena's wrestling. it's painfully obvious every time that he more or less stands there and waits for the other guy to get into position for his 4u. it's so clumsy and i can see how it could hurt more then an average slam. he needs something much, much better.

Antonio: I usually just say......Wanna make out? What about when you break up with a girl? How do you tell her "no more heart throbbing for you?" Romeo: It's usually after the first night. Just, the door is over there. Don't let it hit you on the way out. I LOVE IT.  |
