It's true. In the "we can do it better than any of YOU" department, smackdown.wwf.com has a VERY detailed spoiler report for Thursday's show, similar to those on the evil wrestling news sites.
D-Von said he also found someone else -- the man above. D-Von said that the man had told him to stop concerning himself with himself, but to concern himself with the sinners. D-Von said that to get that vision across, he needed one thing -- a benefactor. D-Von quoted a scripture, and asked Vince to help him testify. Vince said he was a very rich and powerful man, and it would be his honor to help D-Von help the sinners of the world, since he was a very righteous man himself. He said D-Von had a deal, and D-Von told him to testify.
Reverend D-Von?
I knew a preacher or a televangelist gimmick was coming for him sooner or later....

I always thought that a heel "religious person" would be a good gimmick. Something vaguely RTC-ish, but at the same time, not. He can punish people with his "hell fire and brimstone", as it were.
Awesome. Now that "Testify!!!!" D-Von says can actually mean someting. I like it. The mid-carders now have something to do. The split is actually doing what Vince said it would. That is a good thing.
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
There's a long history of heel religous preacher types:
Reverend Ernest something Brother Love (I guess)
Lots of indy people do it too, including my friend and Odessa Steps magazine columnist Platinum Nat.
"The best reason for committing loathsome & detestable acts -and let's face it, I am considerably something of an expert in the field - is purely for their own sake. Monetary gain is all very well, but it dilutes the tastes of wickedness to a lower level that is obtainable by anyone will an overdeveloped sense of avarice. True and baseless evil is as rare as the purest good - and we all know how rare THAT is." - Acheron Hades, THE EYRE AFFAIR by Jaspar Fforde
Originally posted by Notorious F.A.B.i think it's cool the wwf is publishing its own spoilers, especially since smackdown! doesn't reach all areas of the country.
I think they've been publishing them ever since Jeff Hardy beat Triple H for the IC Title about a year ago.
They used to "leak" stuff out when they taped RAW every other week.
Remember when they made a huge deal of Mick winning the WWF title? The infamous "he doesn't put any butts in the seats" quote from Schiavone?

Back in ECW Buh Buh and Devon were just a couple members of the The Dudley clan. Buh Buh was the big fat stuttering one that danced and D-Von was the black Dudley who would quote scriptures much like Samuel L Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction.
He was pretty green and seemed to be devoid of any personality. I think some time in OVW might have helped him. I wish they would send guys like Rob Terry to OVW or flat out release him.
