Since 2019 after WWE got rid of Eric Bischoff then later Bruce took his place to be in charge of the creative team on Smackdown and now since WWE / Vince Mcmahon fired Paul Heyman due to low ratings a few days ago as part of creative director team on Raw and to remain a ring personality / advocate of Brock Lesnar....

Oh really? So a dead zombie coming in as a professional wrestler in the form of the Undertaker is ok but a guy who is cocky and was given the name Red Rooster because of it is not? Case in point, Terry Taylor sucked. Mark Callaway has talent and he's still there to this day because of it. Terry Taylor could and should have used it as a nickname instead of acting like an actual rooster. Latin American fighters are sometimes called "gallos" because they fight aggressively like fighting roosters but they don't act like roosters.

Pikkon89 ....the undertaker was pushed because he was a talented WWE CREATION....Terry Taylor was a talented wrestler who wasn't pushed because WWE didn't take an unknown Terry Taylor like they took an unknown Mark Calloway, as a wrestling fan you should know that Vince McMahon shits on anything he didn't create, Vince McMahon couldn't control Terry either, Terry Taylor would have gotten over just fine as himself, he drew sold out 70k crowds at the Tokyo dome and in every major territory long before he came to the WWE
@brianm28817 жыл бұрын
That's not true about Vince shitting on what he did not create. Take Mick Foley for example - After Vince pitched Mick the awful 'Mason the Mutilator' gimmick, Foley quickly counter-pitched with Mankind and Vince went with it. Then, Vince found out about Dude Love, Foley's teenage wrestling persona. Vince loved it and went with it. Then, he even let him be Cactus Jack. The same is true for a lot of successful WWE guys - they're initially given given something bland or crappy, but then they either tweak that or do something else entirely, and Vince goes with it, if it's getting over. Terry Taylor didn't do that. He just accepted the gimmick, never spoke up about his dissatisfaction with it, didn't try to show that 'Terrific' Terry Taylor would be better for business, and for that people remember him as a crowing jackass. I suppose the problem was that just because some wrestler had a good career in the territories, they expected the world to be handed to them on a silver platter when they came to WWE.
@bluhmer19906 жыл бұрын
Brian In Fingal - You are misinformed. Foley had had backers in WWE like Jim Ross, who kept pestering Vince over and over to sing Foley and to give him a shot. In fact, Foley has said that Vince let Foley do his Gimmick because he thought Foley would flop and wanted Jim Ross to feel like shit when the guy he backed failed. Unfortunately for Vince, Foley didn't flop at all. But that's it, Vince wanting to be a complete asshole to Jim Ross is why Foley got a chance. Check out Foley's Hell in a Cell stand up if you don't believe me.

I believe Mantaur and Beaver Cleavage we're concocted by Vince McMahon and Vince Russo respectively. I don't think Bruce Prichard had a hand in creating either of those characters. Jim Cornette certainly didn't because he said himself that he was handed the role of manager for Mantaur very quickly without being given any warning, and he said on his own podcast that he thought the Beaver Cleavage giving was another stupid and Russo gimmick and he was happier with Chaz Warrington being part of the head bangers as Mosh.

It's a travesty that a lot of (WWF) wrestling fans' first introduction to Terry Taylor was with that idiotic gimmick. When Taylor made his debut in the WWF, I was expecting to see that vicious heel persona that he had in the UWF/NWA and World Class. Instead he came off as a buffoon with that strutting and squawking, acting like a imbecile who needed Heenan to micromanage everything he did in the ring. All that great work that Taylor did in the years leading up this got wiped out in an instant. Even I didn't know what this "Red Rooster" thing was supposed to be about until it was explained a few years ago. How does one make that gimmick work with a name like that and with no explanation?! "Red Roostered" should be the wrestling equivalent of "jumped the shark."

He was called The Red Rooster and they had him actually crow LIKE A FUCKING REAL LIFE ROOSTER. There is nowhere for that gimmick to go, I don't care what the thought process behind it was.
