And I think that's also what made Spirit Squad strangely WORKED because of their capability to annoy the genuine wrestling fans with those cheerleading moves and their annoyingly "positive" characters and smiles while still having their momentums against one of people's favorite wrestlers. They were able to made any other guys more likeable and were able to intesified fans' passions with hatred and anger against their annoying characters.
I hated Spirit Squad. They were annoying and idiotic. I genuinely desired someone to seriously destroy these male cheerleaders and I know I wasn't the only one who felt that way about those guys. I never felt that about any other wrestlers regardless how much I dislike him/them. What also annoyed me was also the fact that as much as annoying as they were, they had their momentums like defeating Kane and Big Show for the tag team titles as well as numbers they did to HBK and HHH.
Right to Censor was formed as an answer to the PTC in America who wanted to censor wrestling and so much else. It was the WWE's satirical take-off of the PTC, and the WWE trying to show what wrestling would be like if it ws censored. Considering what the PG era is like - that's similar to what would have happened so much earlier if the PTC had won back then.
@jrp2390 Everyone gives RTC shit, but they were actually a really smart idea. Remember all the shit wrestling used to get during that time about being too violent and too sexual and all that nonsense? So they make a faction to personify those criticisms. Sure I didn't like them at the time either, but looking back at it I realize it was a really smart and interesting move
The spirit squad could've been a great stable. The were comprised of young, solid workers who got legit heat. It just didn't make any sensefor them to get fed to Triple H and HBK...it was stupid. The group was used to get Kenny over, but he all know now who the emerging star is.
None of those guys would dare mention the unforgettable Mean Street Posse. But that faction sucked even though Shane actually has a LOT of wrestling talent.
JR hating on the Oddities?!? Yes, they were comic relief, but they were incredibly over, even as a bunch of low carders. Far better than some of the other groups mentioned.
Ric Flair gets his own history wrong, Windham hadn't been kicked out of the Horsemen by the Cup, Windham joined them shortly after when he turned on Luger... cool chainlink nwa backdrop for the interview though
Did Ric Flair say the Spirit sqaud couldnt wrestle? Those guys were young but they had wrestling pedigree. Watch the clip where they make HHH look great with the way they move, bump and fly.
The Spirit Squad were annoying but that's what made it enjoyable when they got their asses kicked. I only remember two and one still has a career but they were a faction that you loved to hate and that's worth alot more than the No-Limit crap that made you turn the channel.
@DanCMoran No, I meant that to an old school wrestling fan like myself, who the fuck is Dolph Ziggler lol, never seen him wrestle, I stopped watching wrestling in 2004-2005.
@Delvontehmage hes like one of the newer main event kinda guys who actually does have really good matches even though hes not built like a machine, hes built like a mid carder but has matches like a main eventer and now is starting 2 become one with title matches and shiz
@souljahrick It's too bad though, WWE thinks that if they just forget about Benoit and everything he accomplished while alive and in the WWE that fans will also forget, and it will just go away, but wrestling fans have long term memories they'll never forget, everything he did happened you can't put that out of anybody's mind.
