WWE Poster Boy

[hakushi]

hmm Full Frontal.

Imagine a world where wrestlers were fanny packless.

I wonder if any current wrestlers sport the fanny pack.

Though if anybody can make a fanny pack look good it's

I myself am on the middle ground but both groups have good points Yes the IWC does complain a bit too much sometimes but i can see why.

After the "awsome" attitude era and the death of WCW/ECW the wrestling fans have been force fed Crap moment after crap moment, yes we have had some great moments but they have been few and far between and as paying customers they have a right to speak their minds.

But WWE apologists (as some people call them) also have a point.

Nearly every day a "new" topic starts and more often than not it's either

- John cena hate (this has p'd me off)
- Orton hate
- HHH hate
- Why hasn't ****** been pushed
- WWE is dying

Now i'm not tarnishing everyone with the same brush (because most of the time people make great points) but you have to admit that these posts have been annoying.

So each side has valid arguments and stupid arguments, now there is nothing wrong with dissagreeing but not so WWIII has to start.

So can't we all just get along.

Yeah, Batista would be great as the cool, calm, collective spokesman, as compared to Cena being the blathering idiot who's always spouting off raps about poop.
The one thing that I'm surprised hasn't been touched upon yet is the fact Batista is half filipino. Much like Eddy Guerrero and Rey Mysterio have attracted the Latino market, maybe Batista could do the same for the Asian market. The Rock was especially popular among my friends because he's half samoan, which was the closest thing to an Asian world champion since Ricky Steamboat.

Is it wrong I never look at Batista and think of him as Asian?

I mean don't get me wrong maybe it's cause I'm full East Asian yellow, but I seeing as how he's mixed with European lineage and Filipino and those other islanders are a kind of their own thing within the Asian community, I just see this huge white guy. I would have figured just Greek if I didn't know about the half filipino part (and the name).

I just remember being kind of "umm... okay" when I saw that one website a while ago about asian athletes and I saw Dave batista listed right next Gail Kim.

But I guess it's the same deal as people's debate on the Rock. But my deal with that is mostly cause I get the feeling he prefer to associate himself as an islander than black unless Hollywood and BET come calling.

I agree that Batista is the more over of the two. But i bet Cena makes them a ton more money in merchandise sales.

I think Batista is classed as white not that creed or ethnicity matter in the least.

Well anyway, the topic on hand,

I say why not Kurt angle?

Good looking, all american, olympic athlete, articulate, charismatic, solid in the ring and on the mic, strong work ethic, Intensity, integrity, intelligence, and in still in awesome shape (not too freakishly hossish, but awesome build that make over men drool over in a non gay way). Perfect for appealing to the general public for credibility, and the core audience. Unlike Austin and the rock, still Actively competing and in need on last great run eventually before he retires.

Not a bad a idea. If only the E hadn't been trying to sell him as a talented but dangerous nutjob for the last three years or so. Angle has a lot of charisma, but the E only presents him as a guy who yells a lot and puts on amazing matches.

Has anyone else noticed that as much as WWE is trying to push Cena into mainstream America, Chris Jericho has still been able to sneak his way into it, with little to no recognition? The only time I can remember anyone mentioning it on television was during that period in which he was "losing his passion" for wrestling, and saying how he has a life outside of wrestling.

They tried that. They did. He's really over, but he didn't pack them in like they wished he could have.

I'm not saying Angle shouldn't be a top face, i'm just saying guys like Angle, Eddie, HBK, and HHH keep business steady.

while guys like Batista, Orton, and Cena keep WWE more current.

So basically, I'm wondering who each of you think WWE should really be promoting into the mainstream as the official ambassador of the company?

Scotty... 2... Hotty.

No f***ing kidding, man.

[Dave the Dave]

I pick Angle. I just like to watch the man wrestle. I dont mind Cena that much and Batista is good. I like Angle the most.

Also, i like WWe, ROH, TNA and CZW. Sue me.
