Kirk Sheppard Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 According to the web site for Half-Pint Brawlers (the professional wrestling organization featuring "little people"), they are booked for the Kings Island's Halloween Haunts. As someone who has spent the last ten years working in the pro wrestling business, I think this is great! I've actually met Spyder Nate Webb several times (the ring announcer and "regular sized" member of their troupe) and he is a super nice guy. Should be fun. Quote
RingMaster Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Okay, part of me is really excited for this show as it makes for a wildly different experience the Haunt has to offer and it's "little people" WRESTLING. But the other part of me is really worried that this will bring out more rude and rowdy crowds than normal, as some HPB fans are normally of the loud, drunk, and insensitive variety. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 I agree it will be very fun to watch! But, I wonder why CF finds it necessary to add an "event" to a time when the park is already heavily attended. Quote
catzdrummer09 Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 ^ I just looked for the "like" button on this... Too much time of Facebook. Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Gordon, that photo says 2000 very appropriate words about this idea.... two "this is just too foolish for words" facepalms!! Quote
Cody Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Don't really care for midgets wrestling to be honest. I rather them feature freak side shows(like some that we have seen on AGT) That would make me wanna pay extra for haunt. I would think midgets tumbling(I mean wrestling) around is just boring and fake. http://swingshiftsideshow.com/ ^^ here's an example of what I think would be cool to feature at KI during HH. Quote

See I'm the opposite. I can't stand those gross out acts on AGT. I've seen some of these hardcore midgets and I think if you give it a chance you'll be impressed. They will be pretty violent and not at all like the midget wrestling you've seen from the 80s. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 You can't be serious Sparky... let's be honest... it was just a matter of time... Quote
Delirium13 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Really hard to get behind an idea like this... It's just ridiculous and has nothing to do with Halloween. Sorry, but this is a terrible idea... Quote
standbyme Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 And to think that in the past few years I have been knocked when I dare say that the park doesn't understand what Halloween is about. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I don't know what it has to do with Halloween either, but from what I've seen of it, it really doesn't look bad. My only question is where the park can physically place the ring, etc. Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Death match in a ring built on top of the pool where the Fountiains are. Come on guys, No Limits, remember? Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 And I thought standup coasters were gimmicky and lame.... Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Obviously the brilliant marketers at Kings Island have noted an unfulfilled market now that Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom is closed and the wrestling shows there are no longer held. Terpy, who would loved to have seen Mr. Al Weber's reaction when he heard about this... Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 They doubtless were aiming for awe full. Perhaps they needed to aim higher... Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Don't sell them short just yet, this might just measure up...... Quote
muppetfan1999 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Please, please, PLEASE, stop the puns before we get a whole page of them. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Okay, but you needn't be so short with us! Terpy, who is tryin', honest (and some say he is very trying...including his grade school teachers) * *besides, I should honor your pleas to stop the puns! Quote
KIfan73 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I've been wrestling with whether to leave a short post on this topic or not... Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 After wrestling with the decision, I agree that we should honor the pleas to stop the puns. Edit: KIfan types faster than I do. Quote
HTCO Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Why do I sense a Gary Coleman(the celebrity) skeleton being put outside this attraction? Quote

jdawg1998 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 ^They wouldn't dare. If they did, I would forever shun Kings Island and I would just...just be horrified. Who did they put out last year? Michael Jackson? Quote

Michael Jackson? Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcet, Steve McNair, the list goes on. And while they took them down, it did get them international headlines.... Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Why do I sense a Gary Coleman(the celebrity) skeleton being put outside this attraction? Perhaps, because, in the past, the park has been short sighted in selecting its Haunt decorations. Quote
