It sounds like a shoot because IT IS.

  2. I love the genius of Jimmy Garvin here. He saw how much his cousin (Sunshine) was pulling in and was like 'my wife can do what she does and we can double the family income' hence Precious was created and then he constructed a hot feud with Adams and Sunshine out of the deal.

  3. This was fucking awesome.. This angle was so over.. Those crowds went rabid for this chick..

  4. And the related videos led me to Don Muraco cutting a promo on Roy Shire for being a honky.. So this was double strong..

  5. Ive been wanting to link some Gorgeous J promos on there, but I wanted to see how people reacted to the Sunshine promo first.


    I think Jimmy Garvin in WCCW/AWA was vastly underrated as a worker and definitely as a promo guy.

  6. I know exactly what you mean, but I also think you just killed Linguo.

  10. God I love this old school shit. "You wronged me now I'm gonna kick your ass!" How come we don't use this as motivation in wrestling anymore?

  11. Garvin in WCCW was a potentially good Freebird. Even if not exactly in the original mold.


    Garvin in WCW was NOT a good Freebird... then again Hayes wasn't exactly shining there either.

  12. But then we'd never know who was the face of the company, who would get their Wrestlemania moment or who was in charge of the show at the moment.

  14. At the risk of being that guy, this was a terrible promo. The angle was great, sure. But the promo? Genesis of McGillicutty-level stuff.

  15. I'm not a WCCW guy, so forgive me for asking the obvious- who's the coke-bottle-glasses guy in the beginning? Those glasses are more over than TNA.
