King and Cole are squealing

 

[Scottify]

Buttocks. How many metaphors for ass will they use without actually saying it?

 

[Ronin]

I just tuned in. What did Vince say about Show?

 

[Keyser Soze]

the 100th episode

100th?!?!?! ROFL.

100? :lol :lol

100 thousandth

100th Episode!

Raw is going into Syndication!

 

[UberTag]

I could so do without Cole and Lawler audibly snickering at their product. I would love to never hear that nonsense ever again.

 

[Ithil]

Big Johnny has no idea how a crutch works

No wrestler does.

 

[Evening Musuko]

Wrong one legged wrestler?

Are they talking about Zack Gowen?

 

[Kusagari]

LOBSTER HEAD

 

[Brinbe]

You mean the one legged thing. Vince wanted Zack Gowen and Johnny Ace hired the wrong one legged guy.

No, Lesnar.

 

[krae_man]

I don't get the leg thing.

Apparently Johnny should have hired some other one legged wrestler and not Zack Gowan.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

TOO MANY LIMES
TOO MANY LIMES

 

[DMczaf]

Now we have our scapegoat for the shitty opening ratings.

 

[Bowser]

 

[Dark Ninja]

Yes Vince bury Big Show. I hate when Cole does that fake holding in laughter thing. You wanna see Cole really laugh look up the behind the scenes segments where he shits on Chimmel

 

[Diablos54]

TOO MANY LIMES!!

 

[Ithil]

Buttocks. How many metaphors for ass will they use without actually saying it?

Well, here comes Sheamus, let's find out.

 

[Brinbe]

Now we have our scapegoat for the shitty opening ratings.

Exactly what I thought. Really shitty when he's genuinely been the been part of Raw for months.

 

[DMczaf]

Johnny is a Fred?

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Oh those aren't friendship qualities at all.

 

[rvd2kewl]

Haha, Vince is on fire.

 

[Diablos54]

Twitter? I don't care Vince...

 

[Ravensmash]

Oh god, now they're mentioning Twitter inside the ring as well.

 

[Razorskin]

Look at Vince's face light up at that Twitter Trend

 

[Kusagari]

Stop saying Johnny is a Fred.

 

[Ithil]

I seem to remember Sheamus was fined for beating a referee. What a hero.

In early 2003, rookie "Tenacious Z" Zach Gowen was making a name for himself on Midwest independent wrestling scene. It wasn't hard for him to stand out: He was a pretty good high flier who only had one leg.

While he lost his left leg to cancer as a child, he was a good athlete and became proficient at various flips on a trampoline, even when he he didn't have his prosthesis on. He started training at current Ring of Honor manager Truth Martini's wrestling school after he turned 18 and started wrestling (again, without his prosthesis) a couple weeks before his 19th birthday.

In early 2003, he made a couple appearances for TNA, but like many wrestlers who made a shot or two with TNA, he didn't have a contract. With his buzz increasing, WWE talent scouts wanted to sign him before TNA did and told John Laurinaitis (who was being groomed to replace Jim Ross as Vice President of Talent Relations) to sign the one-legged guy they had been hearing.about.

Laurinaitis made some calls to try to find the one-legged guy. A native Floridian, he spoke to some friends who directed him to Steve Chamberland, a big, burly one-legged wrestler who lost the limb in question in a motorcycle accident and wrestled with his prosthesis on.

So yes, not only did he get in touch with the wrong one-legged guy, but the wrong one-legged guy was the complete opposite of Zach Gowen and nobody had ever heard of him.

Nowadays, the urban legend is that Laurinaitis signed Chamberland to a WWE contract. I'd love to confirm that to put the cherry on top of this story, but according to a contemporary report from PWTorch.com, it never got that far.

Johnny is a Fred?

 

[UberTag]

Sheamus wants Mike Adamle back to replace Johnny Excitement.

[UberTag]

I feel like I've seen this before

Doing something creative and new is what other Junes were all about.
The WWE is rising above that BS with Nexus assaults, CM Punk pipebombs and exploding limos.
This year is all about celebrating the greatness of the status quo. Where every champ is a face and every heel is a spineless coward.
