You should subscribe to the WON just to hear the epic story of Vince and his ARMY OF HOBOS. He could have been a billionaire a million times over off that angle.

I wish i could subscribe to the WON (if only cause the Alverez shows on youtube are fucking hilarious) but i can't justify that large a subscription fee as an unemployed student
ReplyDeleteVince and a ARMY OF HOBOS???????????!!!!
ReplyDeleteSOLD X100000000000000000000000000000000000000
vince is a millionaire who should be out of business with some of the ideas he has.
ReplyDeleteI think Alvarez's interview with Joseph Park should win a Peabody.
ReplyDeleteI thought this image could work here.
ReplyDeleteYes. The idea was originally a year-long storyline with Vince getting hit by a car and Mick Foley investigating, only for it to be revealed that Foley himself had done it as revenge against HHH (a story which I had actually heard about before!). Then Vince immediately changed his mind and came up with a story where he got hit by a car, disappeared off TV and from the boardroom in real life, and was found weeks later RIDING THE RAILS with amnesia or something, only to make his triumphant return with an ARMY OF HOBOS at his side to reclaim his company. And also Teddy Long was a vampire or something. They had me at army of hobos, I'm not gonna lie.
ReplyDeleteMan, Vince and the army of hobos totally could have formed one kick-ass stable with Ric Flair and the turnip truck driving redneck who rescued Flair on that episode of Nitro.
ReplyDeleteWhat make the "army of hobos" idea even better is that his army of hobos would still probably look like every other guy who's come up from developmental in the last few years, complete with spray tans and bad tattoos.
ReplyDeleteIt's stories like this (and, for instance, his proposal to be the father of Stephanie's baby) that make me wonder how this guy ever became successful at ANYTHING.
ReplyDeleteOnly Vince could probably pull that army of hobos off. The footage of him "riding the rails" would've been great, like when he and Shane went into the church during their feud with job.
ReplyDeleteActually, that may be part of his success. There's always been a part of him that was crazy like a fox and willing to take chances on unique angles. We don't see it nearly enough as we did a decade ago, but he's still trying. Didn't he work with R-Truth on that crazy character (that always made sense in his own mind) last year, which I thought should've been a permanent upper mid-card act? Between Funkasaurus, crazy AJ, Tensai, pushing Mark Henry to the main event after 15 years, the aforementioned R-Truth, and Sandow, Vince has greenlit plenty of unique characters and angles in the past year. Now, if only he'd think of something new to do with Cena...
ReplyDeleteBut this sounds exactly like a movie. Not quite Trading Places (Aykroyd and Murphy). Maybe that awful Taking Care of Business (Belushi and Grodin). Not sure. I know there was a movie made some time in the 80s or early 90s that was exactly like that millionaire becomes amnesiac hobo but reclaims identity/his company angle.
ReplyDeleteIn the immortal words of Lance Storm: "Loose Odds & Ends in my Butt."
ReplyDeleteAre we sure Jesse Baker isn't secretly Vince McMahon playing us all for fools?
ReplyDeleteHe's also the one who came up with the "trolling silent Jericho" gimmick, which I thought was brilliant. Definitely has some visionary ideas even in older age.
ReplyDeleteJesse isn't quite as fixated on male rape.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought Jericho said in an interview that he came up with that himself and that Vince "didn't get it."
ReplyDeleteI will be forever bitter that crazy R-Truth turned heel and disappeared. he and Miz were money together.
ReplyDeleteNo, because The Rock wasn't behind all of it.
ReplyDeleteI miss amnesia. Back in the day, it was in everything.
ReplyDeleteThey don't treat massive brain trauma like the good time it is anymore.
Why did Vince turn this down and approve all the other crap?
ReplyDeleteYou're thinking of Life Stinks, a Mel Brooks movie starring Mel Brooks. Decent movie, not his best but its OK.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. Thank you.
