Uprooting a tree is something only Mr. Incredible would do... maybe a new WWE deal is imminent?
"Masters, real name Chris Mordetzky, used his shear strength to uproot a tree before hurling it through a window where his mother was hiding, allowing him to reach in and rescue her, according TMZ.com."

Chris Masters 1, Mother Nature 0.
WWE really should sign this guy back again and have him do crazy shit like that instead of just posing like a douche.
I said this in another thread, but I'll say it again: Why in the blue hell did he tear up a tree to break a window?! Wouldn't using a rock and/or fist have been easier?
ReplyDeletehis moms was in a fahr, he aint thinking about shit but gettin his moms out.
ReplyDeleteNo Scott,
ReplyDeletethey should re-sign him, have him do crazy shit to build his face heat, then turn him after all the goodwill is built.
Depressingly that's exactly what they would do if they resigned him. He should be resigned & booked as the biggest babyface in the promotion. Tell that story on Raw and find ways to let him be a real superhero on TV. Like maybe being the guy to finally beat The Shield. But what do I know...
ReplyDeleteI guess he couldn't just "leaf" her there.
ReplyDeleteIf he was resigned, he should carry a tree to the ring with him, plant it at ringside in a nice pot of soil, then when he's desperate, tear it out, beat the opponent with it. He could lift up the ring with one hand and hide it under there to avoid DQ.
So in other words creative would 'Buff Bagwell' him so to speak!
ReplyDeleteThe tree missed the cut on Bret Hart's 1,000 best wrestlers list, not mobile enough.
ReplyDeleteSorry, couldn't help myself. :-)
I really liked Masters, but couldn't stand the gimmick. Plus his push just vanished after WM 22.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there's a joke about trunks in here too, but I'm gonna leaf it alone.
ReplyDeleteBut would Bret consider the tree to be a better seller than Triple H... sounds like Master's and the tree reinvented the 'Marty Jannetty through Beefcake's Barber Shop window' angle for the modern era!
ReplyDeleteNah, the tree can't be better than HHH. I mean, it literally got "carried" by Masters.
ReplyDeleteMeh it's still a better worker than The Great Khali I suppose!
ReplyDeleteDidn't his muscles vanish as well?
ReplyDeleteHow about they build up his re-debut through vignettes depicting him as Chris Master's the Friendly Fireman and have him rescuing the elderly/orphans/kittens from burning buildings by busting a window open using a nearby object to chuck through it like a telephone pole or a mobility scooter or a random fat person!

ReplyDeletehero.
I loved his tag team with Carlito, they were dumb as bricks, but they could kill in the ring.
ReplyDeleteMasters is going to be on Good Morning America tomorrow. WWE needs to sign and push him right the fuck now.
ReplyDeleteBeing that WWE is so pathetically desperate for main stream attention they should resign him and have him on Raw. Most likely they will miss this opportunity just like they missed out on poking fun at Virgilbag during old school Raw. WWE is completely out of touch with the mainstream, ironically the very mainstream they crave attention from.
ReplyDeleteI hated Masters when he first debuted in WWE, but this guy has worked hard at his craft, he cares and wants to be a great performer. What more can you ask for as a promoter?
He didnt have no time for that, is that it?
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd see myself rooting for Chris Masters.
ReplyDeleteWell played, sir.
ReplyDeleteYeah....I'm wanting to see him in WWE now, pinning someone for the one two tree.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's pretty strong.
ReplyDeleteHe should start a stable.
ReplyDeleteCalled "Tree Count".
This guy gets it.
ReplyDeleteBut if Flair could get *** out of a broomstick in '89 what could he carry a tree too? More stars are fewer stars???
ReplyDeleteHe'd be perfect for World Rustling Entertainment
ReplyDeleteMasters was green (....) but the gimmick had legs, all it took was some branching out, but Vince had to uproot him.
ReplyDelete... I'll see myself out...
Fuj gets it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad Johnny Ace told him to make like a tree and get out.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't Biff?
ReplyDeleteMOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TREE!!!
ReplyDeleteI can do that but I don't wanna...
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE HIRED.
ReplyDeleteIn 1987, Vince would have signed him, thrown him into green and brown trunks, given him a tree limb to carry to the ring, billed him as Chris "Tree Trunk" Masters, had him feud with Dino Bravo and packed b-show houses in upstate New York.
ReplyDeleteUprooting
ReplyDeleteI wish some sort of realism was still with this company. A 97-98 reality driven wwe would have found a way to creatively incorporate this Master's situation into wrestling. Think Mankind's special sit downs. Vader detained. Bret Hart's disdain for american values. I miss that creativity. We get fang.....dang...goooo now. Now I'm depressed.
ReplyDeleteHe could form a Jamaican team with Kofi Kingston using that name.
ReplyDeleteI read his real name and was wondering why I felt like I heard it on television... then I remember that "Bischoff on Trial" episode of Raw where Masters was the bailiff and McMahon felt the need to expose his real name on television.
ReplyDeleteRemember Chris Masters' role in A Clockwork Orange?
ReplyDelete"TRY THE VINE!"
They reveal that the tree had a treehouse full of kids in it, and they died upon impact with the brick house.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a sap.
ReplyDeleteEasiest feud ever - Worlds Strongest Man Mark Henry versus Universe's Strongest Man Chris Masters.
ReplyDeleteLost in all of this is that Chris Masters murdered a perfectly innocent tree. PETP would be all over WWE if they signed him now.
ReplyDeleteTurns out, WWE signed the tree. When asked, HHH said, "We chose the tree over Chris because it was bigger and cut." Creative reportedly will add the tree to 3MB and rename the group "Treehouse Rock". Thank you, try the veal and tip your waiter.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Mr. RSPCW!
ReplyDeleteTo everyone who replied in this part of the thread: THIS is why I love this board.
ReplyDelete...
Oh wait, did I do that?
Resign him as just Chris Masters (no Masterpiece BS), but give him Hurricane's gimmick. No superhero name, he wears the cape to the ring, and (and this is key) he runs in to break up EVERY heel beatdown. No one does that anymore! Like the next time the Shield beats down Ryback, there's Chris for the save, swinging a big ass tree branch, clearing them out. Instant heat.
ReplyDeleteAnd he has to drop the Masterlock. The full nelson went out with the 80s. (There is actually a move called the Tree Slam, I don't remember what it is, but he could use that.)
DAMMIT! You owe me a new keyboard, sir!
ReplyDeletebook it!
ReplyDeleteafaik only his "roid muscles". obviously that dude is still pretty strong.
ReplyDeleteHis kitchen counter is really messy
ReplyDeleteHis entrance music...

Damn it now I won't be able to pay rent because WWE TOOK ALL MY MONEY
ReplyDeleteSadly... that is a real thing...

Pretty sure the tree slam is the Punjabi Plunge
ReplyDeleteJesus that's insane!
ReplyDeleteOf all the guys TNA could have used for Aces & Eights, why not Masters? He's ten times the worker that Brisco and Bischoff are.
ReplyDeleteHow sad has it gotten when it would be in WWE's best interest to re-sign and push a former employee because they're appearing on GMA?
ReplyDeleteSad or smart? They want mainstream press, he's getting mainstream press, I didn't like the guy,but that was primarily because of the 80s finisher, it's the smart move.
ReplyDelete
