Key:

Jean Paul Levesque = HHH

This is from Dave Metzler:

quote:

Jeff Gagliardo sent me this quote from a November 1994 edition of WCW Saturday night by Tony Schiavone during a squash match of rookie Jean Paul Levesque: "He and Alex Wright may be contenders for the cruiserweight title."


Either Tony was being a braindead fuck, which he[Sarcasm] NEVER [/Sarcasm] could be accused of, or them steroids is effective!

2002 Crack Committee Objectives:
1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year
2. Hate the Braves with a passion
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
4. Mets win World Series
5. Hopefully come up with a better name for the Crack Commitee than something the Mad Dog came up with. Come on!

I thought the Dusty and Bobby the Brain duo was better. One time Dusty said something ridiculous and the Brain was like, "I don't know what you just said. But you talk to Texas and I'll talk to the other 49 states."

no tony was being a brain dead fuck, in 94 hhh was like 240, that slightly exceeds the cruiserweight specification i believe. but then again shiavone is famous for putting his foot in his mouth with such memorable lines as "foley as champ..that'll put asses in seats," "we've done crazy things in the past, like having to put your ass over steve regal(which at the time screwed his chances of being employed in the wwf afterward)" "david flair just went through that table, theres no way he could still be alive" shit someone should start a thread of the stupidest shit ever said by an announcer

What's even more interesting about this quote, is that there wasn't even a WCW Cruiserweight title in 1994. Shinjiro Ohtani was the first champion, defeating Wild Pegasus (Chris Benoit) in the final round of a tournamet Japan on 3/20/96, one year and four months after Schiavone's alleged quote. Something doesn't add up.

And Schiavone was actually a decent announcer at that point. It wasn't until about 96 that he turned into a total windbag.

HHH was considerably smaller at that time, but to call him a cruiserweight is a bit of a stretch.

As for stupid Ross quotes, how about "HHH is the greatest technical wrestler in WWF history!"

Okerlund is dull; to put him behind a mike for 2 hours would be the perfect cure for insomnia (well, that and a Glacier match).

Heenan, in case you aren't aware, has throat cancer. The last thing he needs to be doing is voice work.

Tony gets a lot of unfair crap from the internet community. In retrospect, he wasn't THAT bad of an announcer. He was a total company schill in the last few years with WCW, but really, at this point Jim Ross is no better than Tony was in that regard. Hell, Jim Ross is about on level with Tony's announcing skills towards the end of WCW.

C'mon, though, you have to at least admit that Tony is better than Michael Cole.

As for the statement about Trips....dude, who here has seen a pic of Jean Paul Levesque during his WCW days? If you have, you'd know that he wasn't *that* far removed from being a cruizerweight. It wasn't until he found the "muscles in a bottle" did he become the INTENSE~! (and bloated) wrestler that we know today.

As Bobby Heenan says on his web site:

quote:

"I just want to let all the wonderful "humanoids" out there know how grateful I am for the good wishes. Yes, I do have throat cancer, but I plan on beating this too. If the late, Great Gorila Monsoon couldn't shut me up, Cancer isn't going to either. -----Bobby"


If you guys wanna take a old trip down memory lane, here are two links for some hysterical Heenan quotes. Enjoy, remember, and laugh your ass off. I would have copied and pasted them here, but there are too many and it would take too much room. The second to last one on the second page had me laughing for 20 minutes straight.

Heenan was the man, i hope he gets better soon.
I remember being a kid listening to Bobby rip into Hogan or Tito Santana (haha)and laughing my ass off. He was able to hold down a broadcast no matter how shitty the wrestling was and his sarcasm kept us watching. He managed to make guys like Lex Lugor seem interesting...case and fucking point.
Schiavone has always sucked, but at least he knew the names of some of the wrestling moves he was "commentating" on, that gives him one up on Cole but does'nt make up for his lack of personality.
I was watching Tajiri vs. Hurricane last night and it was a decent enough match cept that Cole decided not to call the match at all, he kept babbling on about Torrie and im wondering if this is a front. He probably does'nt know anything about whats going on in the ring. Thank you Torrie for saving that match.
And i think Taz has plaid out his hole Down Syndrome angle, its time let him suplex the shit out of people and make 'em tap out with his Judo submissions thats what he's good at.

The WWF (WWE- no one cares) needs Joey Styles like a crackhead needs another hit. They should give him whatever salary he wants, put him in the booth with Raven , and let them rule all (SmackDown, Heat, and yeah Raw too).

my favorite quotes from Schiavone
"What an action packed Nitro we will have tonight"
"It'll be a night to remember!"
then he always said some crap line right when they were going off the air and something 'major' was happening.

it was so horrible i cant remember it.

Always enjoyed the pairing of Joey Styles and Joe Gertner....
JOEY STYLES: "Hello everyone and welcome to Gene Vangelisti Memorial field in downtown Durham, North Carolina. I am Joey Styles...."

JOE GERTNER: "And I am Joel, 'I'm a ratings generator and a woman penetrator', Gertner."

Very good observation, Sir O, I was thinking about that, too, but I didn't remember exactly when the Cruiser title started. I DO remember they were talking about bringing in a CW title a couple years BEFORE they actually did, and it never materialized because I believe Flyin' Brian Pillman (who was a CW at the time) was to be the focal point of the division (or maybe it was someone else), but Pillman, or whoever it was, got injured, so they scrapped the idea until two years later. Yet, I DO remember WCW making a big deal about it and then not delivering (boy, that NEVER happens in wrestling!). So, maybe this comment came at that time period, and it would make sense, too, seeing as how he said they "may be contenders," implying that the belt hadn't shown up yet and he was trying to come up with possible contenders for when it comes.

Either way, Tony Schiavone is still a butthole. :-D
