Nobody can become a TMF in UFC. Because it's UFC.

You cou become a TMF in PRIDE but not while you're getting bent over on paychecks by Dana.
 
lol if he does what? well? in ufc?

define well

I'm ready to see that virgin nose get cracked

Laugh all you want, but when he steps in that octagon, you will respect him.

Honestly "Ring of Honor" is one of the more fanwank names a promotion could have. It's so cringeworthy. I'm used to it (much like "Wii" for instance) but jesus christ what a shitty name.

*refuses to shake your hand*

In the ring of honor, we uphold and reward virtues like courage, respect...and honor.

I don't mind the name. Thought it was a bit odd the first time, but it certainly got me more intrigued than the first time I heard the name TNA.

So who are the TMFs working in WWE today?

(Takeaway shitty booking)

Cesaro
Rusev
Bork?
Harper?
Owens

Harper and Wyatt. Cesaro isn't, in my eyes, at all. Rusev's still not shown that dad-like condescension. I don't know about Bork anymore, for sure. He could be if he wanted but he's not really putting people in their place.

Just curious - is Undertaker TMF?

Only from 2001 to 2002

Kevin Steen is a gimmick. I ain't ever heard of anyone fearing him irl or him whooping someone. He's a Faux Mother Fucker. Rusev strikes me as a total wimp.

No one in the current WWE environment can be a TMF. It was already hard enough to be one in the Attitude Era. TMF is more of a WCW/Japan thing.

Donnie won, but admits that Shamrock basically ended his career in the process with leg locks. It was a TMF war of attrition.

It was an incredibly frustrating fight. I kept wanting to see them bang but it was just like you said, war of attrition.

I do enjoy Shamrock's tales of Suzuki fucking him raw dog.

Speaking of white hair, Amadeus was one of the best movies ever made, though...
 
I have to say I didn't generally care for the American Badass gimmick much but it definitely had its moments

I hated it when I originally saw it, but having watched it again recently it was pretty fun. However, it was hard at times to tell if he was heel or face though that shouldn't really matter as he was just an AMERICAN BADASS.

Big Evil is the only Undertaker I recognize. The era of stiffing everyone with chairs.

Don't confuse American Badass shitty long haired ginger with Big Evil/Booger Red. Two different things.
 
Mainly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the American Badass gimmick is rapey DDP. Which is not a thing I like.

I liked his mania match with Trips during that era though. I think that was when it started being a thing that he had amazing matches at mania.

In TMF warfare there are no winners, brotha.

That was from the Stone Cold podcast, yeah? Great interview.

He changed his character to try something different.

Imagine if Cena did that.

I appreciate him trying to do something different. Deadman Undertaker would have gotten really stale had he not switched up things, plus that character needed a break after being essentially being an end-boss as the leader of the Ministry.

It also made the eventual switch back to The Phenom feel important.

TDFs

Aja Kong
Dump Matsumoto
Bull Nakano
Akira Hokuto
Reggie Bennett
Mariko Yoshida
Toshiyo Yamada
Jacqueline
Jazz

Honestly pretty much all the joshis that went through 80s joshi training deserve to be called TDFs for surviving that shit.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Lol.
WWE's website has a new article up naming the most unexpected breakout Superstars and Divas of 2014. The list looks like this:

#8 Stardust
#7 Slater Gator
#6 Jack Swagger
#5 The Bunny
#4 Erick Rowan
#3 Damien Mizdow
#2 Nikki Bella
#1 Dolph Ziggler

Lololol.

Also, there has been some mumbling on the ROHWorld.com forums that the TV show will FINALLY get a new intro. Gotta say, I'd be happy to see it, as it's weird still seeing Claudio Castagnoli and Rhino on there.

If anything Cena should have been "The Politician".

A heel character that constantly steels the spotlight and politicking his way into getting the belt. A corporate champion who only did Make A Wish stuff to gain publicity. His promos could have ended with :"I'm John Cena and I approve this message"

The ideal heel John Cena gimmick is literally changing nothing about his character besides having him straight up acknowledge that he gets special treatment over the rest of the locker room.

"Listen here, jack! Don't even bother facing me at Royal Rumble because even if you do beat me I'm just gonna talk to Vince and find a way to get that title shot before you do anyway"

Yeah, he's the perfect heel already for the adult/smark crowd just a shame it's far too subtle for people to pick up (and commentary dropping hints).

- Bullies
- Forces others to raise his hand
- Hogs the lime light
- Never ending stream of t-shirts you have to buy your kid
- Tells your kid he's the perfect role model for them
- Then indirectly degrades his opponent by suggesting they're a homosexual

Perfect example

I guess all of the other talent want women to have cancer. Cena and the Uso's seem to be the only ones who care.

The "Cena has been a heel the whole time" theory is one of the best fan theories in professional wrestling. He's already close to pre-nWo WCW Hogan tier in my opinion.

If you have the time, you guys should listen to The Lapsed Fan podcast Road to WM31 series where they (along with guest Dave Meltzer) discuss the behind the scenes stories behind each WM's main event.

It's mostly just Meltzer though, but I'm not complaining. It's a great way to get behind the scenes WM stories from Meltz.
