Lord Sidious

Ohkay Lariat... let me explain from a little help from our friends, Wikipedia:

a wrestler's personality and/or other distinguishing traits while performing. It can also be an implement used to cheat. In recent years, the emphasis has been on more realistic gimmicks (with rare exceptions such as The Undertaker) which portray the wrestler as an actual person, albeit with exaggerated personality traits, as opposed to previous years during which gimmicks could be best described as "cartoonish". A wrestler may be expected to portray many gimmicks during their career, most of which may be implausible or inconsistent. Sometimes a wrestler may undergo a complete change of on-screen personality from one week to the next.

These realistic gimmicks are know being adopted the names of "personalities" or "characters." Though they are still referred to as gimmicks, the use of these words help eliminate confusion on the various types of gimmicks that have been used over the course of professional wrestling.

Fuck Wikipedia. That's my answer to that.

This thread probably has more words in it combined than every other bar room thread created in the past year.

So let me get this straight here. What you're really saying is that everyone in wrestling has a gimmick, but people like John Cena don't have a gimmick because his realistic gimmick has adopted the name of a personality/character because people get confused between the likes of John Cena and say Doink the Clown?

You proved Lariat absolutely correct with this post. A realistic gimmick is still a gimmick, even if you want to call it a personality or character. It's like saying cheese comes from milk but because it's got a different name so it's not a dairy product. Come on now.

I don't know why, but that just made me laugh out fucking loud.

Wikipedia is the greatest source of information known to modern man.

 

[Slyfox's Bitch]

I agree.

You know, there's this thing called the wrestling sections that you could argue about this pointless shit in.

The Bar Room is about two things: alcohol and tits. I see neither in this thread.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Happy now?

 

[X]

That's better. Now go sculpt wax figurines or something.

Listen to me , Lariat. Lord Sidious was the one who brought up "no gimmicks, only personalities" first. So if anyone is being ignorant, it's you.

[The Doctor]

So...

Does this mean I've won?

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Probably...

I think it turned into an argument between me & the Lariat. It should have been the Lariat vs. [115]FalKon thread. Wouldnt have much draw appeal to it though

WHO are you again? Do you even post? At all?

Well, that's a shame considering I've never came across anything of yours that made me stop to read it. Fact is, I know my shit, and calling me ignorant is something that a noob would do. If you disagree with me, fair enough, but calling me ignorant is...well...IGNORANT on your part. And Dude Love/Mick Foley was a glorified stuntman who couldn't draw a dime.

Don't fuck with Lar-Lar. His heart punch is feared 'round the world.

 

[The Doctor]

You were ignorant in talking about gimmicks and personalities, when I was trying to show Sidious just how easy it was to argue that there were barely any gimmicks. He has said, in the past, that there are barely any gimmicks anymore, only personalities. I was showing him how easy it is to say that gimmicks were just extensions of personalities.
And you know, maybe you just haven't been paying attention. Maybe my posts aren't incredibly controversial and earth-shattering, but they are there, well-thought out, and solid. I post regularly in the regular forums, and I'm not a flaming idiot.
And you know what? I never noticed you around until I started posting in the bar room.
Crazy, huh?
