THE 3 MINUTE WARNING - ENTHRALLING OR APPALLING?

It's now officially season 2 of Ring of The Hawk. We kick off the new season with 3 Minute Warning Jamal and Rosey for their WWE run in 2002/2003. This was a team I enjoyed as kid so I'm looking forward to it. They faced the Dudley's alot and there was a really good PPV table match against them. Both men are now deceased. Jamal went on to be a big star as Umaga.

That reference done by Eric Bischoff at this year's Hall of Fame is the closest we will have to a 3-minute-warning reunion.

And if anyone hates, they're salty as fuck.

Thanks I get that my commentary won’t be for everyone but I’m happy with what I have as we all have a similar mentality!

[@JayBuccola]

More so than matches, their big moments were crashing the ring.

[@JoeChillton]

Kayfabe wise, Rico being with them makes sense. He helped Bischoff in the wedding with Billy and Chuck, and that's after they were in the title picture for months with Rico as their manager, and capturing gold twice.

Let's also not forget that Rico was a heat magnet at the time. 3MW needed a mouthpiece and he fit the bill.

Pottsie_ERA. Just think of Bubba Ray & Jeff Hardy took on Matt Hardy and Devon Dudley. Where Matt and Devon are the heels and Bubba & Jeff where baby faces. They started feuding because Matt & Devon where jealous of the fans screaming for them and they turn on them and have 3 to 4 matches to see who’s right. 1 @ Wrestlelamia 1 @ TLC and 1 @ one on raw to start off the feud. Just think what they could do @ TLC in a TLC match.

[@jimbo_1312]

@@pikkon899 I'm not disputing the fact that he got over, and that's a credit to him. But a gimmick that is an overly effeminate stereotypical stylist was always gonna be destined for the lower mid card at best and I personally think it was a waste of his talent. The same applies to Nick Dinsmore... great wrestler lumped with a mid card gimmick.

[@pikkon899]

@@jimbo_1312 Rico belonged in the mid card. That's where he did his best work. The Billy & Chuck angle was covered in the media when the story was leading up to the wedding. The gay community was also for the wedding. For being considered "mid card" that's pretty damn good. Rico didn't belong in the main event and people still remember Rico for that gimmick.

Jamal/Umaga/Eddie Fatu was a athletic beast for his size. I consider him up there with Bam Bam Bigelow, Vader, and many of the other super heavyweight guys. Thing is, Umaga sold well, had credible and innovative offense, and bad the speed to make his timing count. A major shame his demons got their pound of flesh from Eddie Fatu, the man was not just a Samoan, but he was one of the better ones too. Rest in power to them both, Rosie and Jamal. Hope they found what they needed in the afterlife.

Apparently, and i’m not an encyclopedia so I don’t know verbatim, but I believe it was the Raw after Unforgiven 2002, 3 Minute Warning came out and beat up some female extras for an in ring segment. Neither of the women were trained wrestlers and one of them claimed that Rosey and Jamal were incredibly stiff and she ended up suffering from a fracture clavicle or something along the sort. That was the most famous incident of Jamal’s claimed carelessness and I assume it didn’t really do him much favors

I think its interesting the idea they had to bring them back together in 2006. After The Hurricane became Gregory Helms again they were going to bring them as team back on RAW. For some reason or another it was axed, Rosey was released and Umaga debuted in 2006. I suppose the Umaga gimmick had more life to it. Its sad that both Rosey and Jamal/Umaga have both passed away.

[@clarencegutsy7309]

The reason why the "meeting of the minds" didn't work in that first match is kind of this running theme with Samoan wrestlers who apparently have the strongest skulls and can't be affected by things like headbutts. Even Undertaker got his ass eliminated one Royal Rumble by trying to headbutt Rikishi.

[@james_the_animator]

I’m not sure I buy the “reckless worker” excuse for Jamal/Umaga getting fired. I think someone in the office had it out for 3-Minute Warning from the start. The team should have been so easy to book: two big, agile Samoan heavyweights who dominate the tag team division. A longer run for them would have done more for the RAW tag titles than La Resistance or Lance Storm & Val Venis did.

[@JayBuccola]

Vince hit reset in 04 and brought it back to being for kids. 3mw was way too aggressive to fit. All of it was a mistake.

[@james_the_animator]

@@JayBuccola I don’t think that was it. In 2005, Kurt was talking about how bad he wanted to molest Sharmell. I think somebody in the office was pissed The Rock went to Hollywood, so they tried to punish him by not pushing his family on TV.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

The WWE wasted these guys. To book them properly as monster heels I would have had them squash match random tag teams for a year. Have them win the titles in a hard fought match and have them have a run as champs for a year, mostly in modified squash matches. I would have them lose to an equally carefully booked baby face team. At that point their future would be locked and they would be a viable threat for any face team. Having them win the tag titles for shorter runs would reaffirm them as monster heels.
