I bought this DVD and while wathcing it, it made me realise a lot of things:
Booker T is better as a heel.
I miss William Regal (is he retired now?)
KroniK were perhaps the worst tag team in the history of the sport. THier match vs UT and Kane was so over the top BAD. Krush didnt look like he knew WTF he was doing.
William Regal has just had lots of health issues. If he looses 5 more lbs he can come back as a CW(seriously). I think he is on the path of coming back now.
Kronik was horrible. And short.
Austin in 2001 was hilarious.
Scotty just has a cheesy children's gimmick and finisher. He can be a decent CW, but ya he still is annoying and has been for a long time.
The only talent fierce enough to survive her heat stealing attack.
S2H is one of those guys whose gimmick (clothes, hair, name, etc) was completely tied to a very specific point in time. Unlike guys like SCSA, whose gimmick will pretty much always resonate with a large part of the fan base, S2H really has absolutely no one that can identifiy with who he is. And it's been that way for about 5 years.
At least some day maybe I'll understand why some day maybe you never can. Or something like that.
The weirdest thing about S2H is that he really does have a stale gimmick, but the audiences still pop like crazy for him and the "worm" (and I've seen that on numerous occasions). "Cheesy Children Gimmick" is right, but it's hard to argue with success there.
"Stunning" Steve Austin had the longest ever TV title reign back when the belt actually meant something. He was also a tag champion and U.S. champ. Jobber, he wasn't.
