clothesline from heaven

The black widower.

How does he have so much game though?

The entire roster in 1999 was unironically flanderized

>>18101070
razor's edge
crucifix bomb
rude awakening

>>18101060 (OP)
Kane
Big Show
Undertaker
Andre
Cena
Edge
Randy Orton

>>18101180
These, obviously

>>18101060 (OP)
The Rock is a special case, I have no idea how to describe him but it feels like something worse than Flanderization

>>18101060 (OP)
Cena
Stone Cold went from paranoid sociopath to just saying catchphrases and doing stunners on people who pissed him off
The Rock and being the People's Champion was originally just a heel phrase until he wholeheartedly adopted it
Daniel Bryan became YES man
Dudleys gimmick just turning into "DEVON GET THE TABLES"
Matt Hardy when he did his BROKEN gimmick
Undertaker's streak defined and took over his character in the last part of his career
Goldust entire thing about getting into his opponent's heads just turned him into being a general weirdo
Ron Simmons entire existence is now just being a walking punchline
King Booker

Everyone in AEW is flanderized because Tony can't book

In Simpsons Wrestling for PlayStation he prays and lighting strikes his opponent. Also he has to be pinned twice.

FPBP

>Also he has to be pinned twice.
Hulk Hogan punching drywall he didn't think of this first

>>18101060 (OP)
Flanderized has become the new fumbled on this board. You people are worse with your new toys than Tony.

>>18101955
Someone appreciate this man's effort of replying

>>18101169
It was Flanderized long before 1999. The point of wrestling is two different tropes fight each other. Retards just discovered a 25 year old word and can’t stop repeating it.

>>18103363
Why does he need to be pinned twice? Is there lore for this? Does God undo the first pinfall?

>>18107043
Reference to Christ's Resurrection, I think.

>>18107010
>>18101955
I appreciate.

>>18101955
Best post

>>18101955
>paranoid sociopath

Maybe in your headcanon. Nothing sociopathic about a drunk texan who brawls random people on the street and in bars (his gimmick at the time)

As someone who remembers 96 - 97 Austin this post made me understand what Flanderization is

>>18101955
I have never watched a single episode of the simpsons and never will. Just don't get it

>>18107495
You just proved his point, that wasn't Austin's gimmick until later on. Watch 96-97 Austin, especially when he wasn't playing to the crowd even though they were cheering him.

>>18107509
Classic Simpsons has molded the way Americans communicate, so much of the humor is used in every day conversation that you can't escape it.

>>18107511
Ok ill admit that I don't understand what "flanderized" means. Simpsons/sopranos too gay for me

>>18101955
Goldust went from a total degenerate drag queen, to a christian preacher, to a slight weirdo that likes kicking people in the balls, to a normal guy that just happens to wrestle in makeup and a bodysuit. He actually got less flanderized as his career went on.

>>18107516
It's when one aspect of a character becomes the whole character. In Stone Cold's case his character used to be a guy who thought everyone was out to get him so he'd lash out before they had the chance, then he became a guy who would Stunner everyone, drink beer and say catchphrases.

>>18101565
Notice how these are all big guys or at least tall enough

>>18107640
Cool and ty. Now I re-read that anons post and it all makes sense. Wow.

>>18101060 (OP)
Moxley 100% but the cult ain't ready to go there.

>>18107043
Flanders is a boss character in the game. When you pin him the first time he gets back up and you have to beat him again. He can be unlocked as a playable character.

>>18101060 (OP)
Jericho might be the first wrestler to Flanderize himself

the entire wrestling industry has been Simpsonized (it's trash after 1997)

>>18101060 (OP)
Do stables count? Degeneration X is probably the biggest example there. They became a complete farce in the PG era.

>>18101955
It's bookah

>>18101955
All true
Add Mankind to that
