Lightning round regarding Scott Keith’s favorites
By Scott Keith on October 7, 2012
Think fast!
1) Your single favorite line in any promo ever? (Mine would be Shawn's "I will give you a show like you have never, ever seen before. Why? Because I can", although "Austin 3:16" would be right behind it. But I think that one line basically summed up why I loved watching Shawn, through the thick and thin).
"If baby seal clubbing was an Olympic event, I'd be the gold medalist." Jake Roberts.
2) Favorite Rock promo ever? (Definitely the one in Toronto for me; they were bordering on a full-blown riot after the Leafs dig)
Gotta go with the Billy Gunn talking to God promo from 99.
3) Favorite entrance theme of a current active wrestler? (I vote for CM Punk, although the full effect only happens when he's in pipe-bomb mode. Jericho's a close second, that sucker will never go out of style, unlike the lite-brite jacket)
Rey Mysterio is pretty awesome now that I'm used to it. It took me a while to come around to the "Booyaka" version instead of the "Who's that jumping out the sky…" theme, but they're both very suited to him and pump up the crowd.
4) Favorite gimmick that you liked that very few others did? (Dancing Lance Storm; people felt it made a joke out of Lance, but I enjoyed his goofy cabbage-patching and it did get him over just a teensy bit).
I wanna say Wrath but he's gotten something of a cult following in the years that have passed. I'll just go with Adam Bomb so I can stick with the Bryan Clark milieu.
5) Favorite role by a wrestler in a movie? (Gotta go with Andre in "The Princess Bride" here, he killed it as a gentle giant; HULLO LADY!).
The Rock in Scorpion King. He took direct-to-DVD garbage and made it a totally passable and fun B-movie. Just look at what a disaster the sequel was.
6) Finally, favorite AKI N64 wrestling game? (I'm giving the nod to WCW/NWO Revenge; at least it didn't kill my soul by erasing my data every week the way No Mercy did)
You shut your whore mouth about No Mercy. I still play it to this day via emulation. But I do also love Revenge, for different reasons. Gameplay is deeper and more intuitive in the WWF games, but the WCW ones have the better sets and crazy fake Japanese wrestlers. But still, No Mercy.
