8/1/2005 - Never Forget

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

The birth of Rob Conway heat.

The theme.
The complete silence.
The attire.

I thought this monumental moment was lost to history as I haven't been able to find this clip for the past few years. But here it is in all it's glory. The debut of the "Con-man."

ZERO RESPONSE

 

[InstantKlassik]

Hahaha! I actually thought that gimmick was kinda dope

ZERO RESPONSE

You can actually see fans on the hard camera using their hands to hold their heads up. You can literally see the boredom on their faces. Dead silence for his entrance. Beyond CDQ. Those shorts are a career killer, those shades and hat are a career killer, holy shyt that theme is bad (it gets worse every time I hear it). Any of these could bury a wrestler on their own. All together they killed his career dead on arrival. Poor guy. He looked like a third rate buff bagwell with a shytty randy Newman theme. If there's ever a theme that would kill a crowd. I mean that makes kerwin white or the right to censor themes seem as epic and awesome as sting or Goldberg's by comparison.

I don't know about dope, but he had a distinct look. But they truly killed him with that theme. Should have had some guitar riffs or something. You could hear a fart from the nosebleeds

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

This shyt had to be a rib.

 

[King Ka$h]

That music

 

[MenacingMonk]

This was around the time my interest in the E declined. My money is on Patterson coming up with this.

Dude looks like he should be in the Village People

"Just look at me..."










Get this complete silence.

 

[Yessir_Araphat]

"Conway where's the rest of the village people??"



One of my favorite things about wrestling, when u can hear a random fan yell some funny shyt from the crowd clear as day

 

[R=G]

What a idiot to let himself have a gimmick like that?

 

[patscorpio]

Yikes. Gay campy..must be a Patterson project

 

[Jmare007]

I remember TSC stanning for dude in SOHH

 

[Heelish]

Glad I wasn't watching at this time.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

They fired buff bagwell after one raw match then created a worse buff bagwell.

"This match sucks" chants in 05

So that's what they were chanting and Val Venis in his "porn director" gimmick 05 Venis was clearly not the sex symbol Venis from 97-00
