Loss Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Norman has been working on a painting of Woman and is here to present it to her (and Nitron). The picture is quite hideous, which causes Woman to break it and slap him! Norman takes out his frustrations on Nitron until Kevin Sullivan runs and breaks the painting over Norman's head. It's a funny moment because they smear the red paint on his face in an attempt to emulate blood. Lance Russell chimes in at the tail end of the angle and somehow makes this seem credible in the final seconds of the segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Sort of a transparent attempt to re-do the George Steele/Elizabeth dynamic, if Elizabeth were evil. Would there be a kayfabe reason for Sullivan to be defending Woman's honor at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nitron looked pretty weak getting knocked down so easy. Sullivan pounds away on Norman and rubs the painting all over his face. Nice touch there which Norman's face being all red. I liked Lance at the end.

soup23 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Never been a fan of Norman and this seemed like a pretty big mess. Sullivan with the beatdown was ok but I did not get much of a sense of sympathy for Norman. Woman looked pretty smoking here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 To be fair, while the picture wasn't exactly a work of art, it was probably better than it had any right to be coming from the likes of Norman. What an odd segment. And can I comment on how weird it is that WCW had both Norman and Rick Steiner doing mentally challenged gimmicks at roughly the same time? They even both had a thing for Nancy Sullivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Can't really believe WCW were running this angle in 1990. I was actually rooting for Sullivan here, Norman deserved to have the crap kicked out him imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have so much love for Norman. I wasn't watching a lot of wrestling in 1990, but I would watch some WCW here and there because of the Saturday night show and Clashes. I was living with my Dad at the time, and while he didn't hate wrestling, he certainly didn't watch it. When Norman The Lunatic first appeared on a show, I remember Dad putting down his paper and saying, "What the fuck? Norman the Lunatic?" and laughing his ass off. Whenever Norman would be on he'd watch, as he thought it was fucking hilarious. I thought it was funny as well, so we had a "Field Of Dreams" ball toss via Norman The Fucking Lunatic. For years later he'd ask me if Norman was still around, "Hey, how's Norman doing?" Â About 8 years later Dad was sponsoring in AA a total nutcase. (my Dad always takes on the so called hopeless ones). This guy wasn't just a drunk, but he was crazier than a shithouse rat. His name? Norman, of course...and Dad immediately gave him the nickname Norman The Lunatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 This was just goofy. I agree that Norman the Lunatic's painting was actually better than what it should have been. Woman was looking nice here and the paint on the face of Norman was a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Sort of a transparent attempt to re-do the George Steele/Elizabeth dynamic, if Elizabeth were evil. Would there be a kayfabe reason for Sullivan to be defending Woman's honor at this point? I always thought they should have re-done this in 2004 with Heel Trish Stratus and Eugene.

Bix Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hey, it's Lance Russell's WCW voice! Â Was Sullivan already feuding with Norman or is his involvement a wink wink shooty shoot deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sullivan would sporadically accompany Woman to ringside from Day One, but they never explained why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Woman looked pretty smoking here though. This. Â Very much enjoying her early 1990 stuff so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The picture wasn't professional, of course, but it was appropriately childlike, considering who it was from. This was done mostly to cement Woman as an all-around bitch who acted that way because she could, and at that it was a success. I agree with Kevin that Nitron was made to look like a useless chump whom even Norman the Lunatic could flatten with one shot. Maybe they should have had Sullivan get clobbered and Nitron make the save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Guitar Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sullivan doesn't really give Norman much of a beating here. I'm surprised that they even let them use paint to emulate blood as TBS wouldn't let Sullivan wear bloody smocks for the Slaughterhouse gimmick. Â Women looked hot!

GSR Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 As others have said, Woman looks hot! Norman likes her and has been working on a picture for her. He hopes she likes it, because if she does, maybe she'll like him too? Norman reveals a painting that looks like it's been done by my six year old niece. Woman isn't impressed, throws the painting on the floor and slaps him. The slap riles Norman but before he can get at Woman, Nitron gets in between the two of them. Clearly he looks far more imposing than he is, as one shot from Norman is all it takes to drop him. Kevin Sullivan runs out to attack Norman and hits him over the head with the painting before rubbing his face in it. The three of them leave whilst Norman seemingly has paint on his face to represent blood. Ending with the 'blood/paint' was hokey as hell.

Stiva Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I crack up every single time I see this painting, it's hilarious. I wonder who drew that thing. The crowd seem to really be into Norman, to the point where I agree that this could have been a great angle to rehash with Eugene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
