RD, I don't see how you could induct the JR thing without at least mentioning (if not including the sound clip) JR's voice being played as the objects were pulled from his ass. It was a MAJOR part of the bit and you failed to mention it. You also failed to mention that when they pulled out the plastic hand Vince referred to it as "Mae Young's other hand".  I gotta say I'm disapointed. P.S. I probably would have mentioned that it lead to Vader and Goldust being brought in where Vader falls down too. |

Am I the only one who thinks that bit was Wrestlecrap on purpose?
Vince knew Mae Youngs Hand was crap, there´s no other reason for him to mention that it´s MAE YOUNGS hand, not just any regular hand

Am I the only one who thinks that bit was Wrestlecrap on purpose? I have to agree with that. Mostly because of what Lawler and Coach said after the segment aired. Coach:(paraphrasing) That was Emmy worthy Lawler: Well, that will probably win something
Obviously Lawler knew that the segment would be up for the Gooker. |

Yeah, the sounds are important. I was disappointed that you didn't have the soundbites.
That's not to say that it wasn't describing Wrestlecrap without the sounds. It's still really well-written, and does pick up on what exactly were they thinking.
An Owl? That would make sense if JR was from Oregon (And that barely), but it just doesn't seem logical in any way as it stands.

The owl was being plucked from his ass. Owls are considered intelligent creatures. So I guess they were trying to say J.R. was a smartass.

Unless it was one of our burrowing Owls (I am serious, deadly so). Maybe if he had a beaver, or a very large Douglas Fir, our state tree. But still, a praire dog or maybe a gerbil would have been more appropriate. The Owl was just... confusing. |

The sound bites were the only funny part of the entire segment. They gave me a mild chuckle.

The only humor I got from it was insisting to my girlfriend that the owl was Harry Potter's pet owl (she loves that Potter) and she got mad

Somehow the entries have seemed shorter lately. To be fair, I know you've been busy with your family, and there's not really much you could say about Matt Morgan other than the gimmick sucked. I was mainly disappointed in the Santa's Slay induction. You could have used the "Christmas can scare the Dickens out of some people" line, or the fact that the kid was tracking Santa on the GONAD website. That movie made Santa with Muscles look like It's a Wonderful Life.

This reminds me of the Simpsons
comic book store guy: "last night's Itchy and Scratch was without a doubt the worst episode ever. I feel as a loyal viewer they owe me.
Bart: They've given you thousands of hours of free entertainment, what could they possibly owe you?
Comicbook Store Guy: (awkward pause) Worst Episode Ever!
That being said, this weeks induction was A-Okay with me!

Aw. I feel guilty now. Sorry, RD. I never said the induction wasn't great. I just felt like it was missing something in the soundbites. So, the following is an I'm-sorry-I-had-no-idea-sorry-for-being-a-jerk cookie basket.  Enjoy. |

I actually loved the Santa's Slay induction. That sound bite gag of "Grandpa got run over by...TATANKA! BUFFALO!" was my favorite sound bite ever on the site.

I have to say... yes. That particular sound bite was fanastic.
Don't listen to the Boo-Birds, RD. This induction was plenty funny and well deserved (though I'd voted for the Kane/Lita/Matt/Edge/Snitsky botcherama).

The only thing I wished the induction had was the old frame layout of some of the older inductions. The inductions just looked more pleasing to the eye when they had the picture on one side and the text and soundbites next to them. Something about that layout really drives the point home about how crappy an angle is. It's probably a bit more time-consuming, however, and as a new dad myself, I know that your time is limited.
Other than that, I give it kudos for its history, presentation, and a Linda McMahon kick to the balls!

This induction was plenty funny and well deserved (though I'd voted for the Kane/Lita/Matt/Edge/Snitsky botcherama). I voted for Kane/Lita/Matt/Edge/Snitsky too.... and RD, I sincerely hope that this still gets an induction one day! Even though it didn't win the Gooker, it definitely should get etched into the Halls of Crap. I mean, this storyline went on for like a year and a half, it had more face/heel turns than even Vince Russo can shake a stick at, we got not just one but TWO weddings out of it, and we got Snitsky wearing a sleeveless tux reading a poem about the dead baby in Lita's uterus. The entire storyline seemed to change on a weekly basis, mainly due to the incompetence of those writing the story, and their inability to write things more than a week in advance. That's crap baby! |
