Promo of the Day: Paul E. Dangerously fires Medusa

Just awesome.  When Medusa clocks him with the high kick my mom was nearly jumping off the couch cheering for her.  I often work “And because you’re a WOMAN and you’re too stupid to understand…” into my daily conversations.  Sadly, not many people get the reference.

    I did too, even before I saw this promo.

  3. Paul's burial of Erik Watts at the start of the clip is a great added bonus.

  4. Anybody else remember the rumors in 1990 of heyman going to titian to play the evil half twin of Roddy piper?

  5. Even ultra badasses like Harley Race and Vader know better than to get in the way of a pissed off woman.

  6. If I had a dollar for every time that sentence has been said - or should have been said - per day I'd have enough to pay a woman's salary - which should be roughly half of a man's.


    Kidding, kidding, I love the bitches.


    Again, kidding, kidding.

    I love how Vader and Race just casually get out of the way. "Fuck that, we're not even trying to get involved in this bullshit..."

  8. If Medusa had kicked Col Parker like that, he'd've pooped his pants.

  9. As a kid, i used to think the Dangerous Alliance were unstoppable. When I got older and look back at this, I can truly appreciate the craft and effort Paul E. takes to convince the audience how much of a jerk he can be. At the time, the guy was just the ultimate wrestling villain to me. He was loud, hid behind the baddest fighters and also had a signature weapon. It's a shame roles like his aren't common in today's WWE, because having a good match isn't just choreographing a scripted fight. You also need the supporting characters who build up the plot to help sell that scripted fight to the audience too.

    From 2:00 on, more Paul E and Medusa greatness.

  11. Damn male pattern baldness

  12. Too bad he didn't learn that lesson about a pissed off Paul Orndorff.

  13. The uncensored version has to be out there somewhere...

  14. This needs to be stolen. Could you imagine Brad Maddox sleazing his way into Divas matches ala Joey Ryan but trying to use his power to gain favor with say AJ. Then eventually she blows him off (figuratively) and he goes into a rant about how stupid women are. Great way to turn her face and make him relevant.


    Some B-level indie (or TNA) should also steal Andy Kaufmann's Intergender World Champion gimmick, give to some schlub (hey Joey Ryan!), and then let the guy constantly cheat his way to victory (a female bodyguard would be even better). Eventually he runs into whoever you want to push, or his bodyguard turns on him, and you've just covered the comedy slot piss break portion of your card.

  15. Is it just me, or does JR look like a Cabbage Patch Grown Up in this?

    ReplyDelete
  16. So is this where the "Heyman is a misogynist" thing came from?

    The mullet and cell phone are the MVPs of this clip

  18. Paul is so awesome.. Glad we still get to see him these days too.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Vader was kind of in a rush, maybe he realized he left some burritos in the toaster oven.

  20. This is why Best Paul Heyman was NWA/WCW era Paul Heyman. A damn shame they have fucked up his feud with CM Punk. Heymen needs a huge stable so they can pay it off with stuff like this.....

    ReplyDelete
  21. So good. He was such a prick. No script needed. Just wished he'd bring back the phone. IIRC, for the match, he dressed like a fool in his Brooklyn gear. I was always a WWF guy but the Alliance had me watching WCW for awhile. And PN News drove me away.

  22. The other thing I liked about Paul was a picture he was in back when he was 15 with the Grand Wizard, Freddie Blassie, and Capt Lou that was in PWI. I liked that he was always a fan.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I remember that! Something about Paul Heyman and the evil men that shaped him into this horrible adult....

  25. The actual promo didn't do much for me, but Paul E.'s delivery makes it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Paul giving away 100% of the purse doesn't surprise me.

    (Easy target I know)

    ReplyDelete
  27. About the ONLY high point of that terrible ppv

    ReplyDelete
  28. Any truth to the rumor that the purse bounced?

    ReplyDelete
  29. and then let the guy constantly cheat his way to victory (a female bodyguard would be even better).

    It's not inter-gender--but this part explains the entirety of what Matt Taven's TV title run is defined by in ROH (TWO Female bodyguards!)

    As for inter-gender, A local Toronto Indy GCW had a man as their women's champion after sneaking into a battle royal. He got his jollies beating up women for title defenses and heel heat. My understanding is He ended up being one of their Top heels.

  30. Never seen this before. Great stuff. Love the Zach Morris cell phone

  31. They'd never let Paul do something like this now, but if they want to turn AJ face, there you go.
