Oklahoma - Anyone else think some of it was funny?

[Jimmy]

Absolutely. Was it in good taste? No, the bells palsy face was way too far and it was pretty petty of them to do it in the first place. But Ferrara's comic ability made it work.

Oklahoma's Cruiserweight title run was not funny. (nor was Madusa's, for that matter.)

Had they not mocked the Bell's Palsy, it would have been funnier, but it left a bad taste in my mouth and I agree with the following statement:

I relished every slap Cornette gave him. I think JR would probably have said the same thing.

So yeah, there's my $.02.

I thought it was funny at times. Then again, I didn't watch the WWF at all, so I barely knew who JR was.

Ok before I start, I have to say that I am not talking about mocking JR's Bell's Palsy because that is pretty distasteful. I also know that the character was created purely for Russo and Ferrara to publicly air their feelings on JR.

But I have to admit, some of the stuff I thought was funny.

I did like the "CHOP! CHOP! CHOP"" stuff and basically speaking in soundbites. I also chuckled when he was asking Dr. Death to do another move because he was tired of saying "chop".
I also liked the stuff when he would mock where a wrestler grew up and who he played American Football for at College. Because that always pissed me off when JR went on about it as I couldn't give a s*** about it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who found at least some of it remotely funny.

Blame Vince for that. Every year he pushes more and more for commentary to be storytelling rather than play by play.
