Occasional Pre-Show
Let's see here...
ADR: Sorry, the whole gimmick is Mexican JBL. And at least JBL didn't wander around rambling about destiny and how he was fated to win things. JBL got things done and called himself a wrestling god. I don't want you to think that I'm super high up on JBL or anything, he just did ADR's gimmick better than ADR, and had an interesting stable in The Cabinet, to boot.
Orton: Never been able to really stand this fella. What with doing, what was it, 30k of damage to a hotel room, shitting in a diva's gym bag, being pretty much a cunt to fans, I don't get what people see in him. I'd say I don't get how he's gotten away with the shit (no pun intended) he's gotten away with, but then being buddies with Trips will get you pretty far (look at Sheamus, workout buddies with Trips and wins the title in less than a year.). Everything he does looks forced, his promos are wooden, and I honestly wanted his voice to go out every time he mentioned a PUNT to the SKULL (emphasis his.) He's generic and bland and I just wonder what the hell Cowboy Bob had on Vince to blackmail him with to get his son so far.
Also, to the fella that said he didn't like Punk and listed his "not being able to have a casual drink" and being too "cowardly" to do things like that...seriously, first off "Straight edge means I'm better than you" was a gimmick, an angle, if you will. Secondly, I remember an interview where he said his dad was an alcoholic and it affected his childhood and adolescence. Nothing cowardly about rising above what you grew up with, in fact I'd say avoiding the sauce after growing up in that situation is pretty good. But maybe that's just me. I'm not saying your wrong for not being able to stand Punk, but taking an angle that just happened to be based on his actual life and disparaging his decisions in life for it is just dickish and stupid.
