[quote name='mykevermin']It came up during the election cycle as some mudslinging by Blumenthal, so...I guess so. You're not shocked, are you?
I'd expect it to be called "the genetic jackhammer," personally.
I grew up in KY, so I never recognized anything north of me as "southern." Now that I'm in Philly, it's all crystal
ing clear to me. Delaware and South Jersey are so
in' hillbilly it's incredible.
Also, I finished watching the 1995 Royal Rumble tonight. From a talent standpoint, the WWF then was in a similar situation to what they were Sunday. A deep lack of top card talent, a gimmicked Rumble match, and a match stuffed to the gills with guys who virtually all had zero chance of winning in the view of the fans.
HBK, Bulldog, and Lex Luger were the only genuine potential winners in that match. You also had Kwang, Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, Men on a Mission, the Bushwhackers, Jacob and Eli Blue as well as Well Dunn (neither of whom had members whose names were known by McMahon), The Heavenly Bodies (ditto), and so on. They had to use
in' *MANTAUR* as one of the "big guys who clear the ring and/or are hard to get out" in that match. The gimmick was the "fastest Royal Rumble match in history," with entrances every 60 seconds. The undercard featured the Razor/Jarrett match I was praising yesterday, but how's this for how anemic the roster was: The Undertaker wrestled IRS.
Take a moment and savor what that match looked like.
If history does repeat itself, we're in for a shitty 2011. The main event of the WrestleMania that followed the 1995 Royal Rumble? Not the title match, the main event, the final match on the card...
Bam Bam Bigelow versus Lawrence Taylor.
The WWF was awful for almost the entire year of 1995, and didn't show signs of life until a year and a half later, at King of the Ring 1996. That was the day Stone Cold Steve Austin began to take shape as the premier wrestler of the late 1990's.
I certainly don't feel too optimistic about this year after watching that pay per view.[/QUOTE]I guess I shouldn't be, but geez Vince, classin' up the joint aren't ya?
But yeah, every state has it's rednecks, hicks, hillbillies etc...
