[edit] Return to WWE

There seems to be a conflict with Haas' Return to WWE section.

I try to post the following: During a feud between Rob Van Dam and Shelton Benjamin, it was decided Benjamin's match on the April 17, 2006 edition of Monday Night Raw would determine the prize of their upcoming match at Backlash. Both men agreed RVD would select Benjamin's opponent. To Benjamin's surprise, a returning Charlie Haas was selected. Benjamin was shocked as his former partner took it to him in a great match; Benjamin began to gain the upper hand which was his downfall as it lead to arrogance until he was quickly pinned by a jackknife pin.

And it is continuously replaced with a more plain revision along the lines of: Haas returned on April 17, after RVD was allowed to choose Benjamin's opponent. Haas quickly got the upper hand, but Shelton fought back. At the end of a great match, Haas eventually got the pin.

I really don't see any reason why the latter is superior to the former. The former is more elaborate and detailed, which I think is important to Haas' return match. Moreover, these details explain why RVD was choosing an opponent for Benjamin; without the explanation it's a little random. If anyone wants to change the article, please explain your reasons here.

Etiquette says the first person to post accurate details has the right to the post. I posted well before you.

That's not true at all. The whole point of Wikipedia is a collaboration of information from people. I don't think anyone agrees that the first person to post gets exclusive rights to edit. That's moronic.WikiFew 22:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

You are leaving out the fact about the info being accurate. Wikipedia is not about making changes over ego's sake and for the sake of making changes. If someone already has accurate info that does NOT require editing, you need to leave it alone as do I and everyone else.

This is a pointless arguement. The fact is Wikipedia is a collaboration, which is exactly what I said. I was simply adding to what you wrote and you're turning this into an ego issue in a poorly crafted straw man arguement in an attempt to make me look like the foolish one. You being the one proclaiming if you're here first, you have exclusive rights, which echoes eerily of the childish proclamation "finders keepers, losers weepers."WikiFew 05:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right you're pointless so was the way you rewrote what I originally wrote. Enjoy it.

Right. That's exactly what I said. I think this has done no more than prove you're immature and, to be frank, moronic. I don't think there's any arguement that, at least in a debate between you and I on this subject, I won as you have provided no actual arguement or anything intelligent to say.WikiFew 18:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Movelist

To my knowledge, he has only ever attempted to do the Angle Slam once, and failed. That would hardly count as a finisher.

I'm going to take this off, but if someone can tell me other instances in which he used it, then I'll let it stay, though I dunno about it as a finisher either.

I believe he used it a bit in Indy promotions, but I agree, it doesn't really qualify as a "Finisher" -- Tahngarth

I can sit with that, ti was I who added it. Anyway eh used it in an indy match with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels. He did and arm-twist before hand but I'm pretty sure it was glorified and he went for the pin, but I could be wrong. --Ben Tokyo

[edit] the wrestling hobo

charlie haas looks odd not being clean-shaven anymore

Do we have a better picture of Hass. He looks way different now. User:Killswitch Engage

[edit] Haas Pop

Haas Pop" Also known as Dead Heat, Charlie Haas has become famous because of the lack of a crowd reaction he gets. This has been come to be called a Haas Pop. A perfect example of this is the 2005 Royal Rumble where on top of a complete lack of crowd reaction, he is repeatedly mistaken by announcer Jim Ross to be Rene Dupree. A recent victim of this is newcomer Harry Smith, son of the late Davey Boy Smith.

Did you make that shit up? I've never heared any smarks mention anything called Haas Pop. Harry Smith hasn't even debuted in WWE yet, so that's a load of crap. It's going.

I've never heard of this either. Good call.. besides, plenty of people on the roster don't get reactions when they aren't doing much when it comes to storylines or gimmicks, so I don't see why Haas' lack of reaction would get a special, cute little name.Tigermave 19:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I've also never heard of it, but just because a wrestler did not debut in the WWE it does not mean they are not receiving a type of heat similar to that of Charlie Haas's crowd reaction -- User:Tahngarth

I didn't add the part about Haas Pops, but smarks do discuss it. It came out of a Wrestling Observer story. Although I don't think it belongs in an encyclopedia article (yet), it is real. 65.30.46.163 21:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

It is or at least was a real term, it was used during Haas' first stint in WWE when he became a singles wrestler. It was used mainly by smarks, because of Haas' lack of crowd reaction whenever he entered the ring or performed. And also if you watch the 2005 Royal Rumble you will see that J.R and Tazz make a few comentary errors, and J.R does in fact refer to Haas as Rene Dupree. The Legendary One 04:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

So what, if yu watch any wrestling DVD, there's always some form of commentary error, so does that mean that when JR accidnetly said that Chris Jericho was to defend the WWE title at SummerSlam 05, that it is now a Jericho Pop, or the fact that Tazz at the 05 Royal Rumble said Booker T challenged for the World Title at WrestleMania XX, not XIX that he had a Booker Pop??? 220.235.114.168 04:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard about the "Haas Pop" as a term, but I certainly agree with it. I'd also like to get an link to some article discussing it, here in the discussion page, as well... perhaps it doesn't belong in the article, but still, I'd love to read it. I remember going to the 04 rumble and shouting for the most unmemorable/generic character there, which was Charlie Haas at the time. Perhaps I helped start this somehow? ha. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.20.96.116 (talk) 11:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Haas's Legal Name

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (the issuer of Driver Licenses for the State of Texas) Haas's legal name is "Charles Doyle Haas II", This can be verified via the website publicdata.com----ftw_420 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ftw 420 (talk • contribs) 05:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Break up of WGTT

With Shelton Benjamin now an ECW superstar, its pretty obvious that Haas is once again going to be a singles wrestler and the Worlds Greatest Tag Team is once again over —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.117.243 (talk) 22:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know why they broke up WGTT(after all they were tag team of the year before)?
