Um unless I went deaf, I stand by what I said.Did you even listen to what he said?
Wow I won't even bother.How is he not just a spot monkey if he admits that all he does?
Let me explain. It makes no sense for anyone to put down Red for his highspots because thats what his character is tailor made for. Having Red do anything BUT high-flying moves would look goofy because the guy is just way too small to make things like submissions, wrist locks, power moves, etc. seem believable.- Xplosion doesn't mean sh*t
- Sticking Don West with em wouldn't make given him much mic time, managers aren't there to simply stand beside someone.
- If a person is good, you don't need to pay their dues.li
- Just because he's capable of submission wrestling doesn't mean he's not a spotmonkey.
When he wrestles all he does is high flying moves, so he's a spotmonkey.
Red doesn't have a character, he's just a small wrestler who no one would want to see if he was'nt a high flyer.Let me explain.

The term 'spot monkey' is based off of a misconception that was created by smarks who think they know the business. Dissing Red for sticking to highspots would be no different than dissing Batista for sticking to power moves, or The Undertaker for not chain-wrestling, etc.
He should not use submissions. Bad business/character move.Red doesn't have a character, he's just a small wrestler who no one would want to see if he was'nt a high flyer.
Until he started to actually use submissions, he will continue to be a spotmonkey.
The reason that he's strictly a high flyer doesn't matter, the fact is all he does is high flying moves.He should not use submissions. Bad business/character move.
Nobody is paying money to see Rey Mysterio's mad wrestling skillz.
That's what he should do for his character. And big men should only use big man moves.The reason that he's strictly a high flyer doesn't matter, the fact is all he does is high flying moves.
Damn straight. Some of the most entertaining TV comes from big spots and high-flying moves. If you don't find it entertaining then that's fine, but assuming it makes Red less of a performer than anyone else, you're a fucking idiot. 90% of the WWE roster couldn't do what Red does.The term 'spot monkey' is based off of a misconception that was created by smarks who think they know the business.
Yea its the same idiots who call Jeff Hardy a spot monkey, or Rey Mysterio. Highflyer =/= spot monkey.Oh look, idiots calling someone a spot monkey without knowing what "spot monkey" means. What a surprise.
It doesn't mean someone who relies on high-flying moves.
It means someone who relies on SPOTS.
ie., someone who can't wrestle a match properly and just goes from one SPOT to another, with poor storybuilding, bad pacing, no real flow to the match and poor transitions between moves.
Red doesn't do that, hence, he's not a spot monkey. He's a high-flyer, and a very good one, but that doesn't make him a spot monkey. There's no need to "prove wrong" the people who say he is, just like there's no need to prove wrong people who think the earth was created 5000 years ago. Just ignore them, they're idiots who don't know what they're talking about.
