Help me decide

[The Doctor]

So, I'm doing a speech on wrestling on Tuesday, and for a visual aid I want to show a recent (this year) comedy segment. However, I'm trying to decide which one. right now, I'm thinking of either one of these:


(This one would be slightly edited for time)



Do you think either would actually be funny to non-wrestling fans? Well, half are fans or former fans, and about half aren't. I'm also considering the segment where the Bellas find out that Bryan is dating Gail Kim, because it's both funny and shows that wrestling isn't all HURR MATCHES HURR STEROIDS CREATINE.

I take it you havent gotten laid yet.

The Bryan/Kim reveal. That one's probabaly the best of the choices you mentioned.

 

[klunderbunker]

The date. The perfume/cologne one wasn't funny.

 

[The Doctor]

All right, I'll flip a coin between the date and the Bryan/Gail one, and see which one works into the paper better.

Also, I want to make a few comparisons between wrestling and some famous TV shows. For example I want to talk about Cole/Lawler as "Former legend lays it all on the line to get his revenge against a corrupt company man" and ask if I'm talking about (Insert TV show/movie reference here) or Cole Lawler. Comparisons like that. If you come up with good ones I'll credit you on my sources page.

Thanks for your help, everyone who decides to.

Who Shot JR from Dallas and Who Ran Over Austin are slightly similar.

I'm trying to aim to talk about more recent storylines. I covered the Attitude Era in my last speech. Went great, by the way, got a 94% and the class loved it. Big thanks to KB for that, and for being such a great interview.

So yeah, recent wrestling stories and more recent TV show/movie/reality show comparisons would be excellent. (I'm not doing this to be lazy, I rarely watch TV and the comparisons I'd make would be to obscure things. Trying to get more mainstream here)

Descendant of Mexican royalty loves winking and applying the cross armbreaker: Alberto Del Rio or Remington Steele?

I actually had a James Woods Family Guy/Pete Rose comparison too.

You could go for something like 21/2/2011 being somewhat similar to the slight teases at the start of the second series episodes of Breaking Bad. They kept giving us pieces of the puzzle before revealing the overall picture.

Do Cena's response to the Rock. Or go back to last year and do Santino/Kozlov/Sheamus' tea party. lol It was November, so it's not that far back.

If I had to pick from the above two, I'd say the first one. The Bellas are pretty annoying, but Bateman's pretty funny. Plus, the 2nd one not only has Bateman, which people may not be familiar with, but you also have to have knowledge of Mark Henry. Might be a little out there. At least all the players involved are in the segment in the top.

OK, according to my audience analysis, these are the main shows my audience members watch:
Law and Order
Burn Notice
CSI
Covert Affairs
Lost (totally going to find that article that compares Lost characters to wrestlers)
Desperate Housewives

Any comparisons from those?

 

[Coco]

Compared to me, their taste in television sucks. How's that for a comparison.

 

[UltimateHitman]

Vickie Guerrero's cougar antics dating younger guys. Haven't watched Desperate Housewives, but it sounds like something that might have something to do w/a show by that name.

Conrad Eckersley from CSI is fairly similar to Michael Cole - the Weiner trying to get himself over at the expense of those around him. Lawler is like Grissom, who is trying to do his job, his way, which is pretty unusual, but he gets the results.

That would make Sarah...the Kat?
