Joey Machette = 10 years as a black market guy didn't cut it, so I took Ed Farhat's gimmick. I don't see Sabu or any of the family on here protesting. I don't see anybody holding a copyright for the gimmick. If they did and they were complaining, you'd probably have a point. If I walked around acting like a crazy referee, would I be stealing Chandler McClure's gimmick? If I wore a space suit, would I be stealing Galatic Grapplers gimmick? Sader is basically doing Hogan's gimmick. Alberto Del Rio is basically a Latino JBL. Is that theft? What about Iron Sheik? Should he apologize for not pioneering the gimmick? And was Prince Ali basically Sheik without the spike? Daivari, too? What if I renamed myself Spanish Blitzkreig (sp)? Is that infringement? Asking pro wrestlers to act honorably in a carny biz like pro wrestling is like asking Tiger Woods to stop humping white women. Oy. |

Are you calling yourself "Chandler McClure" or "Galactic Grappler"? If the answer is "yes" then you are a blatant ripoff with zero originality and ability to get over on your own ... |

So if I get permission from Humperdink's people can I grow a beard, dye it red and call myself SOH ? same thing. yea if you get the okay for it. From what i heard The shiek ask if he could do the gimmick, Ed Farhat widow loved the idea as it kept what her husband starting going. Atleast he asked. Original Tiger Mask, owns the Tiger mask gimmick along with NJPW (Tiger Mask can use it, and market HIS likeness). But in the end NJPW can put who ever they want under the gimmick. Same with Black Tiger Mistico La Parka Gronda Psicosis But wait those are all masked workers Superstar Billy Graham - Hulk Hogan Abdullah The Butcher - add a lot of Rap - New Jack Road Warriors - Demolition there was about 100 Nature Boy's before Flair Get the point? Gimmick stealing has been around as long as wrestlers have had gimmicks. Atleast Joey Machette did it right and asked if he can do it. |

Theres a huge difference.....
Dude did nothing w/ half-assed talent and the physique of Mini Jones. Then he decide's to become a carbon copy of a character that has been dead for years....
The MOST generic character you could possibly be.
That takes zero talent and commands even less respect.
