Uh, Flan, how can one have a tone posting on a message board?

Sorry lads for bumping this thread but I was just wondering is there any update on when SOS will debut on Smackdown..He is FCW champ now isnt he??...I spose it will still be a while though, probably be showing vignettes of him for ages before he debuts..Should it be 2009 he is on a TV Smackdown match..I know he has done dark matches and house shows in the past alright

Hey jimmy just looking at your earlier thread isnt Fergal Devitt from Bray which last time i looked was in wicklow.

The Cannibal

SOS has good matches with good opponents. He may not be able to carry lesser opponents but he is talented enough, and in the WWE he'll have plenty of guys who can have good matches with him and I bet he will come along leaps and bounds. I wish him all the best with that, as he never came across as mean spirited or anything to me. If you weren't on his bad side, he was quite friendly in fact.

And I also have to laugh at that post from Ham'nd'egger aka Dave Walsh (Was giving South's real name an attempt to de-legitimise him as a wrestler?), and by withdrawn from IwW rosters, do you mean, jumped to NWA of his own free will?

But back on topic, congratulations to SOS on his continued success. Wonder if he is still using that anti-UV suit for the outdoor shows, that was hilarious

While I don't for one moment wish to defend the hole that is Bray, I don't honestly think the term knacker could be applied to someone who lives in Ballsbridge and went to Trinity College. :cool:

With the talk of SOS being put together with Finlay do yous think that the WWE could be naieve enough to do a Catholic/Protestant feud ?

You don't think such an angle would be used ? I'd assume that Finlay and SoS would be smart enough to say no but it's not like Vince hasn't flirted with racism/terrorism or moronicly ignorant storylines before.

A few reasons why i'd say vince would do it is because:

Obviously the whole irish thing, it could be a way of bringing in history to the americans of irishness.

Why it wont happen.

Unlike america and terrorism i would say finlay would point blank say now for the fact that he still considers belfast home, and his family is there. They would have to live in that, and what if he comes on screen and says "Im a prod", and he really catholic, i know a few stories of people stilll being 'taken to one side' for reasons like that.

But in saying that, SOS will obviously be looking for anything to get his name on raw, smackdown or ecw.

But i highly doubt the wwe creative staff would be all that interested in writing a story of irish culture and just end up confusing the very inaddequite american mind.

Finlay is a Protestant.

Anyway you missed the two most important reasons WWE are positioning themselves more to chidlren and they are operating on a corporate directive to be more advertiser and sponser friendly.

Just saying I wouldn't be surprised that's all. Much like "The Highlanders" the WWE are still adept at providing naff character gimmicks that are borderline racist and quite offensive.

Where do you think the Americans have gotten their "American view of Irish" from ? Wouldn't be television and films ?

Sorry rov, wasnt being particular, just using an example of if he said one and then another etc etc.

And your right with the second point.

I cant see too sky sports advertising:

"21st November, the biggest feud in irish history re started!
1916 had nothing on these guys!"

So your saying that they are going to be (if) la resistance mark 2?

"Were irish, and we built this country!"

Red Sleeping Beauty

I'm just saying that it's conceivable that they may do a naff angle like that one. WWE have a history of using racial sterotypes in their storylines. Highlanders being the most recent I believe.

Sorry but i'll have to beg to differ here, in the last ten years, colleges have taken in all sorts! All about money and CAO points. And i've seen plenty of students play the trinity card, but all the CAO points in the world won't buy you cop-on. That won't happen much now that the budget has upped the college fees and sh*t, so maybe Trinity may have it's name of the past restored. And Ballsbridge isn't exactly all law de daw? Didn't someone get their head kicked in there a few years ago outside a night club in a scuffle with a bunch rugger buggers? Sounds like fairly knackerish behaviour.

If you're gonna go down that road pal, start removing the blinkers.

He tries to kill himself on Raw and WWE.com every week:D

Ah no, in all seriousness, he's a road agent. He started working as road agent when the injuries he suffered in a Hell in a Cell match (think it was the HHH vs. Jericho one) meant he could no longer referee.

On the SOS topic - that would be an absolute disaster if they went the Catholic vs. Protestant route! I'd say it's more likely they'd go the route of SOS claiming that Finlay was making a joke out of his country, which is something SOS has said in promos on the FCW tv show!

Oh right, interesting. Are there any promos uploaded anywhere ?

There's probably a chance they'd bring him in as some sort of auld celtic warrior or some ****. Somethng like Berzerker or Warlord from 1989-1991. We're going back to the kiddy's characters anyway so it'd fit.

They were on youtube a few weeks ago - if you search under "FCW TV" or "FCW episode 1" etc, you should find it. The one where he bad mouths Finlay is a post-match promo.

In FCW, he's been carrying an axe to the ring.

Jesus, if he carries an axe to the ring a few people might expect him to use it in a match. That could get bloody. Dunno if it would fit with the PG WWE, it's a fairly violent weapon.

For those who follow SOS's progress.

http://www.wrestlenewz.com/wrestling/wwe-news/real-problem-in-wwe-turns-into-an-angle-top-star-coming-to-ecw-more-news/

It seems during an in-ring interview with Tiffany to talk about ECW he dissed Finlay, Hornswoggle and Ricky Ortiz. Ortiz took offence and came out. They got into a brawl which SOS got the better of. The show is for the 12th of Feb. You might be able to find it on Youtube if someone posts it up.

Another of ECW's new superstar initiative products asks the website in the link?
