subject: It seems like Steph`s Boobs listened to Jim Cornette...

Message-ID: 

For those who don't read 1wrestling or listed to Pro Wrestling Insider
on sprtstalkcleveland.com, Steph's Boobs is a nickname for the WWE
creative team.

I heard an old interview with Jim Cornette a few weeks ago (I have no
idea how old it is, but I think it was while WWE had several
developmental territories instead of just one like now) that in the
world of pro wrestling, gimmics have a copyright of around 20 years
before they can be brought back.

I think the boobs heard that because the last 2 "repackage" jobs they
have done on RAW have parts (if not the whole gimmic) based off of
late-70s to mid-80s wrestlers:

Rico = Adrian Street (look and overall gimmic)
Kane = The Missing Link (look)
La Resistance = Nicoli Volkoff (foreigners singing their "national
anthem)

What's next?  Evolution winning the World Tag titles and using the
Freebirds/Russians (and now XXX) rule where they won tag titles as a
team, so any combo of them can defend it?

Will Maven start using the dreaded Tough Enough Hair Cream?

Will Big Show go on the blow-away diet (that might be good ;-)?

Will Chris Benoit bring a wolverine on a leash to the ring?

Will they have a latino star come to the ring in a racist gimmic like
El Matador (oops..  they've already done that)?
