RYAN HALL: Chaz, the fun lovin' Beaver Cleavin' Bin Laden look alike from
New Jersey!

EDDIE BURKETT: Lo Down in turbans did NOTHING to get two decent wrestlers
over with the crowd AT ALL.  If anything, it worked against them.  DDP was
never too believable as the stalker.  What does "the One" mean anyway?  
The one of what???

HIRO: I can't believe Perry Saturn actually agreed to do this gimmick. The
things some people would do just to hold on to their jobs.

KEN DREILING: DDP/Stalker; I know WWF doesn't care about past storylines
from WCW; but DDP has always been about coming up from nothing to achieve
greatness.  His first WWF storyline is what?...Trying to beat one man for
instant fame.  Totally opposite of DDP's past character for years.  
RDogg/K-Kwik The reason Too Cool worked was becuase other than the fact
they were flat out hysterical, everyone could tell it was a joke and they
were making fun of people.  RDogg/Kwik were a little too serious, Too Cool
was already doing well with a psuedo hip-hop gimmick, and wrestling fans
stereotypically are not that big of hip-hop fans.  Shane McMahon/athlete
seeing a normal guy wrestle and win just kills so much of the credibility
and our suspension of disbelief.

CHIP BOOTS: Chyna just doesn't work as a face Women's champ.

SCOTT WORDEN: Worst thing was Chyna as the woman's champ..  and you
thought Harvey winning was bad.  That whole Perry Saturn turned out to be
absolutely nothing worth remembering.

CHRIS BIRD: Shane McMahon as a main-eventer. Uh huh. I think I'd prefer to
see Friar Ferguson in the main event before I see Shane again and those
stupid juke-and-jive punches. I knew Road Dogg, sir, and you are no Road
Dogg.

SEAN FLYNN: The Undertaker as the American Fat.er Bad Ass is just awful.  
A big no-selling uninteresting redneck.  I've got cousins who can do that
for me for free, I don't need it on my tv.  DDP as stalker was an idea
that could have been interesting, but fell into the vortex of suck and
politics that is the Undertaker.  And Steph as the owner of ECW is
blasphemy, pure heresy.

CANZ: Do people really think Benoit is a bad ass?

DONNY L: Chyna womens champion, SHE is beneath even that title, not
vise-versa, DDP as a stalker is an awful way to bring him in, Lo Down in
turbans is offensive even for the WWF

PETER HAZLETT: Not bad gimmicks really, just very poorly done.

SIMON GRIER: Just why does Chyna think she's such a role model? And why
does she expect sympathy from the WWF's demographic? Just Shut up, Joanie.
And you won't even get to Hollywood, let alone succeed there. Lo Down's
turban-bearing shenanigens wasn't funny and didn't get them over while
insulting millions of WWF fans. The WWF failed to realise that for a
stupid thing like Moppy to get over its owner would have to be over in the
first place. Socko was over because of Foley. Moppy wasn't over because of
Saturn.

ESTRAGAND: A comic book-related gimmick would appeal to all sorts of
wrestling/comic nerds..if it was done right. Instead, the Hurricane is
reduced to cliched/steretypical comic book crap like "the Hurri-cycle",
"mild mannered Gregory Helms" and calling everyone "citizen".

JOHN C.: Is Billy Gunn as "The One" really a gimmick or a bad nickname?
Saturn getting dizzy was funny at first and pathetic later on. Seeing Dogg
& Kwik come out to dead silence as they did their rap was painful because
they were trying so hard to get over yet nobody reacted to them because it
was so bad.

JOE GENTILE: Rappers and wrestling don't mix. I hope K-Kwik/Road Dogg will
be the last attempt at this. The Tazz crap just sucked. Tazz, you are such
a BAD ASS, after watching you get squashed for the 40th time, I'd NEVER
mess with you! Undertaker's American BadAss means he no-sells everything
and rides a motercycle. The Gimmick Sucks.

PIEMAN: Oh, here's Billy Gunn again.  The One?  I don't think so.  He's
something, but it's not the one.

BLAZEJ SZPAKOWICZ: First, Billy Gunn. So what does "the One" mean, anyway?
"The one wrestler guaranteed to interest absolutely no member of fandom?"
Second, K-Kwik and Road Dogg. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. Musical wrestlers went out
of fashion after Honky Tonk Man lost the intercontinental belt. And
*rapping* wrestlers... were they ever even *in* fashion? Third, we have
Lo-Down in turbans under the expert care of Tiger Ali Singh. What an utter
waste of what could have been a fine team. And how could anyone honestly
think sticking *any* promising team with Singh would *help* them, anyway?
Poor D-Lo.

YNAE316: Mighty Molly as Hurricane's sidekick & Lo Down in turbans:  Talk
about lameand stupid Spike Dudley as Little Show:  Am I GLAD when they put
him back in Dudley fatigues...

SHANE SPEAR: First of all, who let Hugh Morrus lead a group?  Secondly,
who decided that Stephanie should be the owner of ECW?  WHY WHY WHY??

RYAN FAULCONER: Poor Booker T was stuck with the Wannabe Rock gimmick
because the WWF is run by morons..

THE CUBS FAN: Hey, WCW, thanks for taking a guy I adored on Worldwide and
making me want to flip anytime I saw him. I hope you go out of business.

SHAWN MULLIN: The whole Alliance concept was unbelievably stupid.  It's
like the WWF forgot that the whole reason people wouldn't accept WCW as a
face organization was because of how much they hated the brand... yet they
did everything they could (with the Alliance name) to NOT mention WCW and
the history it had with the WWF.  Why even buy WCW!? They could have just
put a big group of WWF wrestlers together who wanted to take over the WWF
and it would have meant just as much as the "Alliance" did.  God, they
missed the whole point, and it really makes me wonder if the writers
understand wrestling at all.
