Granted, I'm a big Santino fan, but him as champion just isn't good television, in my opinion. It's been a long time since we've seen some good feuds over the "Workhorse" title, and with him holding it, we're not going to get anything close to a "good feud."

But does this Honkameter indicate that we're trapped in this trainwreck of a title reign for close to 64 weeks?

I'm not a big Santino fan however his comedic stylings are sometimes entertaining.However,I hope he doesn't keep the IC title for too much longer.With the emergence of younger talent hopefully soon WWE will start making some decent fueds over the IC title.:twocents::twocents:

Which we will. I see Santino playing out the role he's been designed for, to entertain fans, but to annoy them at the same time. The point of his character, or any heel like him, is that the fans want to see him get beaten. WWE will leave this for a long time yet, build it up until the fans are genuinely sick of him, booing him relentlessly. They know nobody is going to stop watching because of him, plus the fact that he is actually funny, and so they'll build up a face character, possibly Kofi, maybe someone else, in a few months time, who'll finally, after a massive amount of build up, beat him. This allows Santino to keep in focus and gloat about his title reign, and also a new face to get over massively. It would also bring interest back to the IC title. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the fun.

Alright, Ill be the voice of reason here. The Honkameter is obviously super over, in a heelish way. It fits Santino's character to a Tee. Santino does the honkameter, and the fans boo. Hell do it for a while, and then move on. But for him losing the title, I dont see a reason why. He is the best heel, that isnt from Winnipeg, or sporting a broken shoulder on Raw.

I think the Honkameter is a great idea. Think back to the Honky Tonk Man's reign, a reign we hold in legend...most of the time, he won in a cowardly fashion or got disqualified. He was a funny, cowardly heel who kept his belt and won his matches by doing the minimal amount of work. Face it; Santino IS the new Honky Tonk Man. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't hold the belt for nearly as long, if not longer, than the Honky Tonk Man. The only issue is whether interest can be held for a year...and I think that if he keeps screwing over popular faces, it will. I have every hope that Santino has a good, long title reign, nearing the Honky Tonk Man's.

09-14-2008, 04:42 PM
Face it; Santino IS the new Honky Tonk Man.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I can see why people bash on Santino, in a way, but honestly.. Is his reign as the IC Champ that bad? Is he really the worst person on RAW to hold that strap? Would you rather see the belt on Palumbo or Deuce? Really? Or better yet, what about Kofi? Sure, maybe it was too early to have Kofi drop the belt, but you could also say it was probably to early for him to hold the belt, as well.

Plus, what's not to like about the Honkameter? It's comedy gold, period. He'll beat the Honky Tonk Man's record, no problemo. People can hate all the way, there is still plenty of weeks left of it.. Get used to it people.

Because at the end of the day, he's supposed to be a wrestler, not a talker. The Rock, Jericho, Arn Anderson, Foley, and you could go on forever, all of them are great talkers, but they could have good matches too. The promos mean nothing if they aren't backed up by good in ring work.

His offense lacks believability, his selling is unrealistic and his sole purpose is to serve in a comedy/jobber role. Now, while there is nothing wrong with that, it doesn't change the fact that it's true.

Really, I need to explain this shit again?, ok this time I want you to fucking read the post, so I don't have to go through this with ever again

I think my post from the RAW LD last week puts it best

Santino has had like two good segments in his entire career thus far, one included Stone Cold, the other Jericho, Santino is so terriable he needs to be carried to a comedy segment, the guy flat out sucks, he's a waste of space and should have been released forever ago, people think he's funny cause he has an accent and butchers the English language, he just comes across a complete tool, not funny at all

Do you get it now?, do you understand the words that I have post on the fucking screen in front of your face?!?

Yes actually that would make sense. It'd be wrestling.

Kofi was starting to bring a bit of credibility to it. He's young, he's over, he's good in the ring, he's an up and comer. Santino is a guy who gets cheap laughs and then has bad matches.

I really can't believe even a blind man of not noticing how he has had a string of good promos in the WWE.

No, I was merely pointing out that if Santino is unrealistic, he isn't the only one. Not by a long shot.

Plus, I'd rather see someone oversell any day, than seein' someone no sell the hell out of something. At least the oversell/unrealistic is at least believable in one way or another, but the no sell.. Oh, hey, I just got dropped on my head, but I'm gonna get right back up.

They don't even have to be good matches. Just believable matches. Matches where you can suspend your disbelief, and fall into the emotion of the match.

Santino's matches make you painfully aware that you are watching scripted entertainment.

So are you saying that if Santino started hitting some good technical moves, you'd like him?
No, I'm saying if he could put on a match that made you think there was a small bit of realism to it would make me think differently about him.

No, I was merely pointing out that if Santino is unrealistic, he isn't the only one. Not by a long shot.The Rock was a believable seller. Yeah, he oversold the Stunner, but for the most part, his selling was appropriate and was good showmanship. Santino's selling is neither.

Plus, I'd rather see someone oversell any day, than seein' someone no sell the hell out of something. At least the oversell/unrealistic is at least believable in one way or another, but the no sell.. Oh, hey, I just got dropped on my head, but I'm gonna get right back up.What the fuck is the difference?

Either way, it ruins the illusion of realism in wrestling. No selling is just as bad as overselling, because both make professional matches look unrealistic.

Well with the character he has right now started to lose or win strings of matches, which one is believable. If he gets beat down, but managed to sneak out the win, like many of the greats did, would that make him a good wrestler? If he never won match, would that make him good?

klunderbunker
09-14-2008, 05:21 PM
Back to the original topic, kind of at least, there's no way Santino goes as long as Honky did. Honky was around in a different era, where he was seen on tv far less and with far less ppvs, and at least he was a somewhat believable champion. His record is safe.

For Santino to be a good wrestler, he needs a complete moveset overhaul. To begin with, he needs a moveset.

TM
09-14-2008, 05:24 PM
Its not like the IC belt ever makes it to a PPV. Why when WWE has 3 top tiered titles. Santino is the only character single handedly making the IC belt known again. If he wasn't making it known, then he could easily go with it for a long time. But since he is making the title pronounced in Raw, then breaking the record will be a lot harder.

Slyfox696
09-14-2008, 05:24 PM

His matches, like I said earlier, make you painfully aware of just how fake wrestling can be. There's nothing realistic about his matches, and there's no emotional involvement in the match. It's fun in the "it's so bad it's entertaining" way, but that doesn't make him a good worker, nor will it ever make any headway in his career or the IC title.

He can still be the joke character, but put on realistic matches. They don't even have to be good matches, just believable.

The amount of belts on Raw is all that matters. There's the WHC, the IC belt, the women's belt, and the tag belts. The midcard title means nothing at all right now, because the matches are designed to be nothing but jokes.

Why would he help Santino break his record, it's the one thing Honky is known for, not to mention Santino is coming out and saying he's better, surley that would get under Honky's skin and he would want to prove Santino wrong, I just can't see why Honky would want to help the guy who make fun of him break the record that is Honkys biggest accomplishment of is entire career

xN Starksx
09-14-2008, 05:44 PM
Weirder things have happened in the WWE. Plus, he might be up for anything to get back on TV, even that means helping Santino.
And even if they have Santino beat Honky's record, that doesn't take away from the fact that people are still gonna look at Honkey as one of the best Intercontinental Champions ever.

George Michael
09-14-2008, 05:58 PM
These mid-card titles seem to be more like props now anyway. Most of the IC champs from the past few years have scarcely defended them ie. Jeff Hardy, Jericho. I am of the belief that MVP held the US title for so long simply because it looked good with his character. I was more offended by his reign with that mid-card title. He made no real effort to grow or evolve as a wrestler/character. Watching him in the months since he lost it he's still the same old MVP.

Santino will beat the Honkey Tonk Man's record and lose the title the week after he does, keeping his reign in the context of entertainment and comedy. Whoever said it before me was right, that the WWE's title tiering system makes the IC and US almost insignificant.

Loveable losers fill the IC title history books. Who cares if one more gets in.

klunderbunker
09-14-2008, 06:00 PM
That's the problem. The title was starting to be what it was supposed to be: the up and comers belt, with Kofi and earlier Jeff Hardy. Now its a joke. No way he holds it longer than three months though. This angle has no staying power.

xN Starksx
09-14-2008, 06:24 PM
How exactly is Jeff Hardy still considered an up and comer? How many times had he held the belt before he lost it the most recent time to Jericho? Kofi was the only legitimate "up and comer" to hold the belt recently.

Jericho and Hardy are already established, so how can you say the belt was going back to what it was? Exactly. Santino is better for the belt right now, at least he's giving somewhat of a storyline to it.

when Jericho won the IC belt he was an up and comer, very simply. He lost it to Jericho because of the wellness programme, which is the only reason Y2J got it.

Do you really see Kofi as ever becoming the champ? he has been around for a few months, and in a few months, hell be the next Paul London

so you liking him proves he's done a shit job.

Thanks for proving my point.

Then the Rock was shit when he became over with the fans.

I see him having decent matches. Somethign I've never seen Santino do.

If Santino is higher on Raw, why is he fighting Snitsky and D'lo, when Kofi is feuding with Orton's stable?

Hes with Cryme Tyme, the tag team that will be gone in a couple weeks. He is wrestling in a feud against a man who is injured.

D'Lo More over than Kofi

And the Rock used to have a ton of critics too. You never know, Santino might be the next Rock.

He doesn't do anything worth a damn? So what, he can jump really high.. So can Matt Sydal and over half of the indy guys. Kofi isn't unique, get over it.

I am sick of people throwing this into the debate, There is reasons for it. If Kofi didn't do all his kicks, then he would be the jamaican braden walker. Santino gets over on the mic.

the keyword there is MIGHT but no one will be the next rock.

And Kofi MIGHT be feuding with Simply Priceless.. But he's merely a spot filler.
The feud is between Cryme Tyme and Simply Priceless.

Get a new argument.

Yes he and Sydal are both athletic. And look where they are: Rapidly rising up the roster. They both have bright futures ahead of them. Santino has hit the peak of his career by talking abotu a guy that hasn't been on WWE programing regularly in 15 years.

D'lo is more over than Kofi? Wow. Just wow.

youre right, hell be the next Santino Marella. He might become as popular as the Rock for all you know. You cant guess the future.

Perhaps you're sick of it because you know its right?

Kofi kicks a lot. Ok true. Tell me: What's Santino's finishing move?

If that's the case who is he filling in for? Also, it's Orton's second generation stable vs. Punk, CT and Kofi.

09-14-2008, 07:18 PM
Well, considering right now.. It's just Simply Priceless and Manu versus Cryme Tyme, they kind of needed Kofi in there to even things up.

And can you really add Kofi to all of that, he'll stay as a spot filler? It's gonna be the second and THIRD generation guys against everyone.. Not just Punk, CT, and Kofi.

klunderbunker
09-14-2008, 07:29 PM
To begin with, try doing what I asked.

He's unique by his look alone. Not to mention the leaping ability, or that he's an African American on Raw getting a main event level push.

xN Starksx
09-14-2008, 07:36 PM
Why? I've been asking what makes Kofi so damn unique for a while now.. And I only get the, "He's African American and he can jump real high" crap.

A lot of people can jump high, does that mean they should I try and get into the WWE and maybe they too, will get a push?

klunderbunker
09-14-2008, 07:46 PM
He's certainly more unique than Santino. There are a bunch of people that can get cheap heat and do roll ups. Guys that can jump high: Kofi, Shelton, RVD, Sting, I could go on. What do those people all have in common? They're upper midcard at worst. Why hasn't Santino been in the main event, or even an important storyline yet? Oh that's right. HIS CHARACTER SUCKS IN THE RING.

i'd rather see manu with the IC belt than marella

Wouldn't be surprised to see that happen within the next six months, after the Orton stable gets going, Rhodes & Dibiase have the tag belts, Orton will eventually get the WHC, so that leaves Manu to capture the IC title, so that the new stable can have all the gold

It could be his athletic ability and being able to put on entertaining matches, also he's a new fresh face, overall he's fun to watch, he entertains me with his matches, which is the whole point of professional wrestling in the first place

09-14-2008, 08:01 PM
If there is such a call to the SFAC, it is probably because he is over.

All the guys who watch it are supposed to hate him, making him a great worker. Thanks for proving my point

Yeah wow, he's over with a bunch of internet wrestling nerds who are in a fake fan club on a wrestling forum:rolleyes:, seriously do you not see how fucking ridiculous your arguments are, just casue he's got a few loyal hardcore fans here on WZ doesn't mean he's fucking over in the big picture, that's like saying HBK and Taker winning the WZ tournament is a huge accomplishment
