Although i rarely do, I gotta disagree with you guys on your views on Kofi. I think D.J.B.'s got my back here. This guy is no black Cena. Look at his in ring work, and compare to that of John Cena. The guys got some chops in the ring. I actually tuned into ECW this week just to see his next match.

I agree with Matt, Kofi is no Cena, he is better. I would like to see him feud with Benjamin or if the rumors are true that Ron Killings is heading to ECW/WWE with him. Kofi is very athletic and qiuck on his feet.

Anonymous said...

I dont think the comparison had anything to do with ring work ... more like their cheezy face characteristics...

which is why i agreed

Danyah finally stripped???? HOWD THAT LOOK????

Anonymous said...

I gotta act all Black Prophet this week since he wasnt on. Why is it that every Black wrestler that signs or is about to sign has to be paired up with another Black dude? Cant you guys be more creative with this shit? How about letting Kofi stand on his own with his amazing technocolor tights? Go-go-go, Kingston!!!

Danyah finally stripped and we got no descriptions. How many nips are we working with here? Loved that she was more vocal this week.

Those chops were awesome! Every week I wanna hear chops on Fatty. And where can I see Dan-E-O getting superkicked?

The Lesnar fight is gonna be a squash. I was gonna order it until I saw how much it costs: $55 USD. Fuck that.

Great show. I laughed the entire damned time. Gotta check out the match Dux mentioned. That was a cool new segment by the way.

I love Wrestling School segment was awesome! I can't wait to hear more from Tyson!

You can tell those two workers are young and havent had much radio experience. Seemed like Dan-e-o and Donnie had to keep reminding them to stay on mic, and then they just gave up. Didn't sound like they had much to offer anyway.

I just watched the match Tyson talked about. Wow. That's the best match I've ever seen ... and I was watching it looking for the things he pointed out. Love that new segment!

D.J.B. said...

Yeah, I can't see Kofi as a black John Cena...It's not even the cheesy face characters. Kofi hasn't even developed a character yet. He has a clap and some music. If the bastard starts rapping then maybe, unless it's, and here we go again, the Cool Runnings thing.

Kofi has promise, Cena HAD promise, but it was squandered the first time he stepped into the ring with someone not named Angle, Jericho, Helmsley or Michaels. I'm sure there are others that carried him through matches, like Taker and Lesnar, but let's face it, John Cena AINT SHIT. Kofi can go as far as he is allowed. Depending on how scared the E is of letting him get over, he could be a fucking superstar by SummerSlam. He's got IT aint that right Deaner? I haven't seen alot of his shit, but I've Cenanuff, to know that the only thing they have in common is the fact that they work for the E.

If Black Prophet don't go off on that comment next week, or whenever he returns, I'm going to find him myself and ask him what the fucks wrong with him.

There aren't many different characters in the E, they use cookie cutters, and honestly, I can see Kofi breaking that mold, because he's different from the usual E bullshit. HE'S BLACK FOR GODS SAKE, something not often utilized.

I think Kofi Kingston has "it". I actually tune in ECW just to watch him and I haven't watched ECW in a LONG time. Maybe it's because I'm an RVD mark and that's who he reminds me of, but I really like him.

Kofi blows.

Anonymous said...

I've already said all the upside that i see in Kofi. I hope he becomes great, but the more i think of it, I get worries that he may become a gimmick. His vignettes remind me a lot of Carlito's when he was coming into the E. Hopefully he doesn't pan out to just be a catch phrase gimmick wrestler. I have high hopes that he wont though.

Now, onto the real issues, did you guys get any pictures of Danyah, or were ya kayfabin us?

Rated O Radio - Episode 49 Recap (01/31/2008)

transcribed by: Andrew Gray

Segment #1 - Tha O’s and No’s

Before Big Daddy Donnie and Dan-e-o get to tha O’s and No’s this week, they start off with a high spot: a celebration of Fatty Fronte’s 24th birthday! How do we celebrate birthdays on Tha O Show? With knife-edge chops, of course! Each of the in-studio guests, Ontario Indy Superstars, Josh Alexander, Ethan Page, and the returning Miss Danyah get their shots in on the birthday boy.

This week, Donnie O’s for Fatty saying that he wants to become a worker, which leads to 30 seconds of laughter from everyone in the studio. There are also plenty of O’s and No’s for the Royal Rumble this week. First off, Donnie O’s for the hot MSG crowd. Both of the boys No for the increasingly meaningless #1 contender stipulation at the Royal Rumble, although Dan-e-o O’s for the video package that showed the history and statistics from past Royal Rumbles. Dan-e-o No’s for how scripted the Rumble match itself seemed, like when Jamie Noble immediately followed Chuck Palumbo.

Moving away from the Rumble, Donnie No’s for the 2 Elimination Chamber matches announced for the upcoming No Way Out PPV, and both of the boys explain how this could hurt both matches.

Donnie O’s for Dan-e-o getting hot at the Kofi Kingston promos he’d never seen before - Dan-e-o calls him the “fake Jamaican John Cena.” The segment ends with Donnie O’ing for Brock Lesnar’s debut this Saturday at the UFC 81 PPV.

~Commercial Break~

Segment #2

In this segment, Donnie asks the in-studio guests a series of questions:

- Should the MSG crowd still be used as the barometer for how over a wrestler is?

- How do you deal with not getting the desired response from a crowd?

- Does Brock Lesnar’s involvement in UFC make you want to watch the product even more?

- Is the UFC’s cross-promotion with the WWE and TNA a good thing for UFC? Could it create a backlash from hardcore UFC fans who are already weary about a former pro wrestler being involved?

Also, Donnie suggests that John Cena has been working a heel-style for the past year or so, and that a negative response should be expected. Ethan Page chimes in by stating that Cena’s return at the Rumble was the biggest surprise in a long time - and Dan-e-o counters by saying that finding a turd on his pillow would be a surprise too, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.

~Commercial Break~

Segment #3 - Tha Pit Stop

The Notorious T.I.D. is excited that the age old question of whether a pro wrestler can hang in the MMA world will be answered this Saturday. T.I.D. also gives his prediction on who will win the big fight and how the fight will be won, including in what round. Next, the Notorious One gives his thoughts on: the founder of UFC, Bob Meyrovitz, returning with a new promotion (including the return of the one-night tournament format);

Bobby Lashley potentially becoming an MMA fighter; and an upcoming show in England where Ken Shamrock, and his son Ryan, will be fighting on the same card. He also reveals what match involving Ken Shamrock that he would pay to see, as well as where Tito Ortiz should go once his contract with the UFC runs out.

~Commercial Break~

Segment #4 - Wrestling School with Textbook Tyson Dux

It’s the debut of “Wrestling School” on Tha O Show, and arguably the best worker in Ontario, Tyson Dux, has some advice for aspiring wrestlers, along with a match from which they can learn.

This week, Dux says fans need to watch Antonio Inoki vs. Yoshiaki Fujimara, and there’s a link to the match on www.thaoshow.com. Inoki and Fujimara show that having an amateur wrestling background is very helpful in the pro wrestling business, and that you don’t need high spots to get a crowd into a match.

Another crucial point is that the wrestlers are in no rush to start the match; they wait until fan anticipation is at its peak. Dux even picks out a spot in the match which he dislikes, and explains why. In two weeks, Dux will return to Tha O Show Radio with another match and more tips for aspiring wrestlers.

Check out www.myspace.com/tyson_dux to respond to Dux’s debut segment and to find out more about the one and only, Tyson Dux.

~Commercial Break~

Segment #5 - WrestleTrivia

It’s the return of everyone’s favourite game show, WrestleTrivia, and Ethan Page is in the hotseat this week.

For every wrong answer, Ethan Page must receive a knife edge chop to the chest from Josh Alexander! If Ethan Page gets shot-out (i.e., 0 for 5) then the amount of chops is doubled! Here are the questions:

1. Big John Studd was trained by what wrestling legend?

2. Stu Hart played for which CFL team?

3. The Undertaker (Mark Calloway) first wrestled Kane (Glen Jacobs) in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. What was Kane’s ring-name at that time?

4. Jake The Snake Roberts had a special celebrity in his corner at WrestleMania III. Who was it?

5. In what state did Mankind and The Rock have their “Halftime Heat” match?

Find out the answers and how many chops Page received at www.thaoshow.com

~Commercial Break~

Segment #6 - Tha Round Table
The panel starts by discussing Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and Sylvester Stallone’s open endorsement of its use.

This leads to Donnie and the workers giving their opinions on the controversial topic of drug use in pro wrestling. Dan-e-o also wonders if the move to HD could increase the use of drugs for cosmetic purposes. Another question proposed by Fatty: are house shows necessary when they slowly deteriorate the workers’ bodies? This week’s show ends with another birthday celebration for Fatty (which means more chops!) and this time, Donnie and Dan-e-o get in on the action too! And finally . . . . FINALLY Danyah flashes some skin!

Check back next week to www.thaoshow.com for another edition of Rated O Radio.
