Re: Worst ring entrances ever

Anyone remember Richie Evatt's tiger costume? I thought he looked more like the hoffmiester bear.
Aye there are some cringeworthy entrances, personally I'd make my way to the ring using this as my entrance music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHWicNDkbpw - for some reason it just gets my adrenaline going and makes me aggressive :)Datsue wrote:I dunno about anyone else -- actually I do know, for some reason people seem to love them, but eff them -- but German-based fighters ring entrances make me physically sick.
The crass lightshows, the dodgy voice-overs, the naff lasers, the several million gallons of dry ice, the fvckwitted cock-rock hair metal bands that play the fighters out... No, no & thrice NO! Leave it out!
I am fully aware of the continual challenge of UFC & WWF & the need to pesent the sport as modern in people's minds. It's just I think they're stupid, embarrassing & a crime against taste & decorum & that anyone who enjoys them should be punished by having to watch a Wlad Klitschko "Greatest Clinches" DVD, including the special Easter Eggs section where you get to see him lean down on top of his opponents like a hungry rent-boy trying to sniff the last popper lodged up his mark's rectum.
I've given this matter (more) thought (than it actually deserves) & have come to the conclusion that this kind of build-up is only actually necessary because the vast majority of the fighters who sell well in the enormous German market are about as exciting to watch as a party political broadcast being transmitted via the medium of sign-language.The promoters are basically saying "WAKE UP! Felix Sturm might've put you to sleep, but here are the reanimated corpses of der Scorpions! After which Wladdy will safely send you back to sleep once again."

Nice one, love the industrial trance metal of the nineties, a misspent time.Datsue wrote:dberry: Thrill Kill Kult!
Fvckin' A, that takes me back. Not as good as KMFDM, though.
First person to reply with "KMFDM sucks" wins... Ooh, I dunno, a time machine & a penchant for dodgy '90s Industrial Metal.
