I don't mind Test too much, because I sort of like the "big man" style, if they don't suck. And for a big man, Test does not suck. Granted, Kane is better, but that's a given. So hey, even though he's not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, I'm a Test fan.

I'll think of something witty later, I promise.
I'm a Test fan too sort of, moreso than Kane, I never saw what the big deal about him was. That one move where he goes to the top rope and then just does this jumping clothesline thing is possible the worst move in the WWF.
It was cool when he did it to X-Pac off the top of the cage though.
Besides, for someone his height, wrestling in platforms no less, he tries new things, like the enziguiri (however that's spelled), or the hurricanrana he did to Albert. Yeah he almost broke his neck doing so, but show me anyone else Kane's size in the WWF that'll try that kind of stuff.
Test meanwhile has some all right moves. It's a shame he doesn't do his flying elbowdrop much anymore, as that was a thing of beauty. He's also improved a lot. I remember when he was so weak, he couldn't even get Chris Benoit up for his Meltdown.
No matter how bad things may get, just imagine what would happen if Vince Russo was booking again, and you will feel better.
Test is pretty has always screamed "mid carder" to me. He has some decent offense and what not but just never had that thing that would make me want to see him in the main event. I think another thing that hurt him was the WWF trying to turn him into...Desielcito! Can't really become anything when the guy your copying on the other channel or in this case now about to debut in your own fed.
Nothing is better than X-pac! It's all in the inflection...
Careful you don't want the WRATH of BrewGuy upon you!!!
A Test fan would sound like this:
"WHITBY BOOT OF DEATH~!"
"TEST IS THE GOD OF WHITBY"
These two phrases are usually screamed by myself and Brew. the "WHITBY BOOT OF DEATH~!" while hopefully make its debut at WrestleMania and sign of YOURS TRULY! (Section A3 Row 6 Seat 16)
"I used to think that move was pretty cool until they started showing that he lands directly on his feet everytime."
I noticed that the first time he did it. Still, the vultureline (cuz he looks like a damn vulture while doing it) is a cool move. I don't know what the hell it is about Kane, but damn near everything he says or does just emits auras of "kickassness" to the point where he's one of my three favorite wrestlers.
Test is pretty cool though, to keep on topic with the original thread. He's not the best, but he's pretty damn good. Dunno why it's the "in" thing to rip on Test. Probably Foley's fault. But you all know deep down he's pretty cool, especially for the occasional classic one liners he pulls off...
Such as the one after Stephanie's peptalk to T&A... "Bitch!"
No matter how bad things may get, just imagine what would happen if Vince Russo was booking again, and you will feel better.
Test is alright.. I loved his first finisher, that gut wrench fall down powerbomb..he occasionally pulls it out still..the powerbomb that is! You sssick fffreak! Then he got the meltdown..gotta love that move Savage elbow looked sweet too.. The Big Boot looks frickin awesome!
As for his micskills, they can use some working on, but aren't really that bad..it can be said to be his character..I love it when he does 'pssh!' when he gets brushed off again.. And that Once you have Test, you forget about the rest thing is hilarious..
so..I am a Test fan I wonder though, did he learn those pick-up lines from the Crue when being their bodyguard? *rofl*

I like Test. I thought the last match he had with Edge (I think it was 2 weeks ago on Smackdown) was really good. And I saw him and Kane do a match at a house show that was really good too (yeah, you don't believe me). His BOOT O' DEATH has a lot of snap to it. He's one of the only guys who doesn't just throw his leg in the air and the other guy runs into it, Hogan/Nash style. And..I don't know, he's canadian, that's got to count for something.
The only thing I DON'T like about Test are his nipples. Their droopy. It's just fucking weird looking. I have no idea why I noticed this and let it get to me. I have no idea why I'm sharing this with all of you either. But look next time if you get the chance. DROOPY NIPPLES MARTIN!
They gotta bring these back!!!: "talk to the hand because the man don't understand." - "The Crippler" Chris Benoit "...and that is the LAST WORD." - "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight and of course: "Don't hate the playa...HATE THE GAME~!" - WCW World Champion Booker T
While it's clear that he was mostly a Nash wannabe in the ring, (Man - he's tall... and that's it), I really feel like he's improved his effort in the ring. Now, out of it, he's still a disaster of sorts, but he's rarely the worst guy in his half-hour of the program.
There are an awful lot of guys (and gals) in the ring nowadays who stink it up. I'm constantly amazed at the variation in in-ring talent on display during any given Raw. They run the gamut from A (Angle) all the way down to, well... B for Billy.
Y'know what? Test is so good, people don't even realize he's 6'8" and 280 pounds, becuase he moves like he's hes 200 pounds. His athetic ability is AWESOME - now he just needs to a) work on his mic skills a bit, and b) new teeth, and he'll be GOLDEN! Maybe he's overselling everybody a bit - but that's because he's a GOOD WORKER! AND, he has on of (if not THE) most believable finisher in wrestling today, as far as I'm concerned. Nobody should EVER get up from the Whitby Boot Of Death!
Yes he's from Whitby, yes I live 3 minutes from Whitby, yes I'm biased - but I'd like him anyway.
I like Test too, and I really, really, really, REALLY wish they would have pushed the whole Immunity thing out the ass so he could have gotten a bit of character. As he stands now, he's a good worker that we're not supposed to like because he can't get a date.

You know, the WWF could have saved themselves tons of money and headaches by just dressing Test and Chuck Palumbo up as the Outsiders. I'm telling you, no one would notice. They could get away with putting a "fake Hall" and a "fake Nash" and, oh wait....
