was the patriot meant to be a cornball?

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

was just thinking how much I hated this character but even as a youth(while y'all had still half a head of hair) I was thinking 'get this bum off my television'

He made me a Bret fan again

Del Wilkes was that dude

 

[DocZulu]

No, he was not supposed to be corny. The Patriot, and wrestlers like Tracy Smothers, were part of a different era. And as wrestling transitioned out of the 1980's, those kind of wrestlers stood out as antiquations.

Think about it. WWE could get away with Hillbilly Jim as a major face...and audiences weren't supposed to mock him as an ignorant hick.

If he didnt get his neck fukked up he prolly woulda kept going and got pushed


@Twitter book a Patriot/Austin title feud circa 1998

 

[The G.O.D II]

He wasn't that over, he sucked, and he was a junkie.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

I liked the Patriot. I was a fan back when he was in Global Wrestling Federation on ESPN. He was their top guy. Didn't like that he was a mid-card tag team guy in WCW.

I do think his WWF run was meant to be kinda corny but he initially came out during the Gulf War, so people were with it.

 

[El Cocodrilo]

I thought he was cool when I was a kid

Only memory I have is him doing a run-in to help other baby faces that were getting jumped one time tho

 

[thenatural]

I'm was a big Captain America fan as a kid, so of course I loved this shyt. Once i got older, i realized he was an extremely roided guy that couldn't wrestle. When Bagwell is the workhorse of your team, you know you have issues.

Anyway, he did bring about that beastly theme so it's not a complete L.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Y'all have awful taste

 

[Lord Scion]

He had the GOAT theme tho

 

[James Dean]

Yeah his version of the theme is dope because the intro horns keep playing over and over through the song in the background.

In Kurts Version they cut it off
