The OTTB Wrestling News thread

[KillaCham]

I'd say the start or his take off was king of the ring, from there it was an organic superstar build, maybe the Vince factor added to him being the face of a huge boom, but even with out Vince he still would have been at least one of the top guys

Yeah from KotR to the Bret feud is when he started to surge. He was one of those heels that the fans started to love even before the double turn. Pretty sure hin being so over is why Vince started doing the program with him, not the other way around.

In the Steve Austin Show, Austin was not happy with how the WWE has handled Nakamura in his first four months on the main roster.

Austin stated that the WWE is booking him like "just another Joe Blow". He further expanded on that thought below (H/T WrestlingInc):

"You bring him over and he's going 30-minute broadways with half the damn roster. Debuted down there in WrestleMania 32, NXT, with Sami Zayn, hell of a match. Hell of a match! A lot of credit to Sami Zayn and Shinsuke, but here's 'The King Of Strong Style' and all-of-a-sudden, he comes in and he's working Dolph [Ziggler] and it took him a long time to finish off Dolph for 'The King Of Strong Style'. Do you understand where I'm going with this gimmick? That's booking though. What is the plan? You've got this guy who's one of those talents that just don't come around every single day. He's special. He comes in and you treat him like he's another Joe Blow."

And this comin from tha man who quit wwe because he did not want ta job ta brock lesnar

It was more to it than that.

If tha rock could do tha job so should've austin

That's not fair, Rocky is literally THE most unselfish top guy in wwe's history. He didn't give a fuck who he jobbed to

That's not putting Austin in a good light.

That's my whole point... the rock was just as big of a star as Austin was but he would give back from time ta time wit a job ta put ova talent...

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Rock was a cocky heel that got caught slipping n hurricane took advantage. That's all that was. Stone cold losing to Brock with no buildup is not nearly the same thing

The Rock did the job to help get somebody over, Austin should have did the same.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Under proper circumstances I'm sure he would have

But we can pretend hurricane made it to new heights after beatin rock

We can also pretend it makes sense to beat the biggest star since Hogan like he's just anybody for a kotr first round match when the matchup could have brought in 750k ppv buys AT LEAST :/ :/ :/ :/ :/

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

As much as we shit on Hogan for not putting enough people over he did the Job against Brock on an episode of Smackdown. Austin should have did what was best considering his career was winding down. Undertaker was losing to fucking Maven for 2-3 weeks in a row.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Yall keep bringing completely different situations as reasoning y he should have and ignoring the root of y he didn't. 55 year old Hogan jobbin to an already made guy. Really? How bout let's all end this debate n agree to disagree

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

So Brock was an already made guy, then Austin shouldn't have had a problem with it then since Brock beat Hogan a few weeks after Austin took his ball and went home.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Makes sense.
