Billy Kidman fails at heel heat

[Johnny D]

From 7:33 onwards:



"I HOPE YOU PEOPLE ARE HAPPY!!!"
*crowd pops*
YOU MADE ME DO THAT!!!
*crowd pops*
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!
*crowd pops*

I was hoping he would say "SHUT UP, I HATE YOU ALL!!", storm out of the ring to the back and the crowd would keep poppin'! ;D

[Just Jay]

I think its the fact that Billy Kidman sounds slighty like Ray Romano. How could you hate that voice?!

[seanmichael]

LOL that is hilarious. Love how he keeps sticking with his scripted promo despite the fact it's not working at all. Have to give him points for persistancy on that un

[MikeyMania]

Maybe the crowd hated Paul London.

The thing is that Kidman as zero personality on the mic. He was a great wrestler mostly in WCW he was over because his ablity in the ring. But once he got on the mic he was not interesting.

That why I always felt he was so missplaced in the Filty Animals because he didn't talk like he was cool and hip. He was only there because he was friends with them. But he didn't really fit.

Billy Kidman fails at life. He's bush league on the mic and can't land a Shooting Star splash without almost killing someone.

Anybody who can bag Torrie Wilson (if only for a little while) is definitely a winner at life.

How could anyone hate Kid Man?

[Convoy]

I was there that night - the crowd just wanted to see him do the SSP.

The problem, IMO, was that they based this match around Kidman refusing to do a fan-favorite move. Once he did it, the crowd was happy. Why the hell wouldn't they be? London is great and everything, but the move is what most cared about.

This is why wrestling needs managers.

He was still awesome

I agree that Billy Kidman sucks on the mic, but he was an awesome wrestler. In regards to injuring Chavo Guerrero, it was a mistake, which everybody is guilty of. Plus, wrestlers injure each other with simpler moves that SSP. Do you hate Owen Hart for injuring Austin with a Piledriver? Mike Knox for injuring Jamie Noble with a basic move? Mr. Kennedy for hurting Orton?

We need a manager, stat!

I agree, a talented wrestler with little charisma should have a manager to do most of the talking and carry the promos. Nobody cared about how Brock Lesnar's promos were when he was with Paul Heyman. The audience just wanted him to destroy somebody.

[Crazy Diamond]

It's hard to hate Kidman.

This, a thousand times.

The SSP is a pop-drawing move. Basing an entire heel turn and angle around Kidman continuing to use it made no sense and baiting the fans over it just got them to pop louder.

Kidman should have withdrawn the move entirely, teasing it but never actually using it.

The fact is, the fans didn't care the move could potentially maybe injure someone again as long as they could still see it.

And then leave her. What a loser!

[hajimenoippo]

Why did London go for a powerbomb?

of course the people love Kidman!
