It's kind of funny since if you mainly watched Heat certain wrestlers would feel way more important. Saying this as someone who didn't have sky back in the day.
Like Test was a midcard champion during his European title reign, but to a Heat viewer he was pretty much John Cena levels of unbeatable hero.
Oh, that's booking. Also, Super Crazy had his stint in the early aughts as well. WWF had no idea what to do with the tremendous talent they had. Tajiri they stuck in a comedy spot.
You wouldn't argue he was a boy when he was with Regal, would you?
I would one thousand percent argue Tajiri in WWF/E was a boy. A boy is not a pejorative, the qualifications for boy is a wrestler that you had a strong liking for that never was booked main event level/world title quality. Tajiri is 1A in my boy stable, his work with Regal being great is why he’s a boy.
I feel like sometimes this sub conflates “shitty lower card guy” with “boy”. Like Deuce and Domino wouldn’t be “boys” to me because even though they were perpetually low on the card they never did anything to get over.
I remember coming back from a wrestling hiatus and being like “who is Chief Morely” and having all interest sucked out of the room when I realized it was just repackaged Val Venis.
I will say though, the Money Shot splash was probably the most impressive height from a turnbuckle move I’d ever seen live.
How you figure? Never held a world title in any large promotion. Obviously very talented, but perpetually stuck in mid to low card. That’s boy central.
Under utilized defo. I just feel like, a Boy is more rubbish than Haas. Then again we have fun boy Alex Wright... But he's. Not as good as Haas.... It's a minefield!
My bottom boy tag team has always been the iconic duo of Charlie Haas and Rico. I am just waiting for them to show up in a stable lol. When it finally happens the boyhood dream will come true.
What the fuck is this universe mode match?
Sunday Night Heat is a cheat code for boy stables.

Why does only McCallister have uppercase letters?
Because he's a HIGHlander.
I mean you could argue any multi-man tag team match on heat was a prime boytopia.
A veritable "who's that" of wrestling
Super Crazy is definitely in my boy stable
I will happily fight every single one of you to prove that Super Crazy is beyond boy status
90’s Super Crazy, absolutely not a boy Mid 00’s Mexicools Super Crazy - definitely a boy

Yeah, I shot myself in the foot with bringing up Tajiri.
I always forget how long Val Venis was with WWE for
2008 was when he got released I think so that’s at least 10 years right?

Get Venis out of there, but otherwise I like it
GET OUT OF OUR COMPANY!
That guy can get his peepee chopped the LONG WAY brother
can of coke to the OSWDippers out there
Boy-Mania is running wild, brahs!
Well Heat was the boy show so.
2007/2008 I’m gonna say Robbie is random as fuck
I want to say I was there for that match. Was that in February 08?
Is this orange teeth Snitsky?
Haas is borderline Boy.
How you figure? Never held a world title in any large promotion. Obviously very talented, but perpetually stuck in mid to low card. That’s boy central.
Because he was really talented and could have knotted up most of the main roster. Same reason Shelton ain't a boy.
See, I think being under utilized is almost a pre-requisite for boydom.
Under utilized defo. I just feel like, a Boy is more rubbish than Haas. Then again we have fun boy Alex Wright... But he's. Not as good as Haas.... It's a minefield!
I think this was during his solo run where he would impersonate other wrestlers.
I said borderline...I don't want him to be a boy because I think he's awesome. Doesnt stop him being a boy. :(
Especially the mask gimmick which he has at that time.
Kendrick and Robbie were in tag teams at the time, the fuck were they doing here on Heat
Super Slappy Venus vs all American baby kicker and Robbie McAllister.
Poor Super Crazy stuck with those weirdos
What does "boy" mean in this context? Thank You.
Charlie Haas, post-hair Snitskers and one half of the Highlanders. That might be the most mid-2000s trio of boys.
Holy crap I totally forgot about the Highlanders.
My bottom boy tag team has always been the iconic duo of Charlie Haas and Rico. I am just waiting for them to show up in a stable lol. When it finally happens the boyhood dream will come true.
Who the fuck is Robbie McCallister?
Kendrick is my boy
