I'm sure these come off better when spaced out. These aren't as good as the Rude promos but in some ways I actually mind them less because we at least had a strong angle to kick this feud off, and this is just sort of bonus material. The Rude vignettes are promos in search of a feud--something beyond Rude beating the Warrior a year and a half earlier.

The kid was a lot more subdued than the football coach was. At least you could buy that Bossman's "bullying" caused him pain. The real treat, though, is Teddy's reaction to being in Cobb County. I like the part where he sniffed the air and observed, "Must be a pig farm nearby".

 

I agree that it was about time for the feud to progress to a nationally televised match of some sort. Why we never got one I'm still not sure.

Ted Dibiase says that one picture is worth a thousand words, so instead of going on about the Big Bossman’s background, he thought he’d bring us to the very neighbourhood where he grew up. He spots a young man mowing the lawn and Dibiase asks him if this is the Big Bossman’s neighbourhood and did he grow up here? He says “yes”, but they don’t like to claim him because the Bossman used to beat him and his friends up. Dibiase queries that he doesn’t look as old as the Big Bossman so he must have been a little boy? He says that he was and that the Bossman used to beat up on little kids all the time. When Dibiase questions what would he do if he saw someone like himself who was the same size as him and who could look him right in the eyes? He says he wouldn’t be around, and if you were as big as him, he’d turn and run. Dibiase says that he was nothing more than the neighbourhood bully then, and this is just one more example of what he’s said all along, that the Big Bossman isn’t what he appears to be. You can’t change the spots on a leopard and you can’t change the stripes on a tiger, he always was, and always will be, a great big obnoxious bully! He and every other hick in Cobb County, GA still have a price for the Million Dollar Man though!

 

Same premise as the previous vignettes. We get the message now and the Big Bossman isn’t what he says he is.
