  1. When I think "intense workout," Bob Marley is definitely the celebrity endorsement I have in mind.
  2. I thought I remembered him being pretty good as Sterling James Keenan, but a quick Youtube perusal disabuses me of that notion. That said, yeah, he seems like a guy they could do something with. If nothing else, they should bring him up as a Heyman guy and have him be Paul's replacement best friend.
  3. Only if everyone, regardless of gimmick, nationality, or ethnicity, pronounces it "bulluhduhwoohhds!"
  4. In their defense, I was pretty sure that lyric was "one of the gays" for a while, and was proud of WWE for their subtle, progressive portrayal of a non-hetero performer.
  5. I'll concede Lita and Meng, but Sabu and Haku sound like racist Disney cartoon characters, and Hawk...well Hawk sounds like a biker nickname, which works for the gimmick, so that one goes in the plus column too. But Syxx, Asya, Swoll, Toad...Actually, I think this list is starting to just prove how awful WCW was at naming people.
  6. False. Puke is worse. Actually, are there any four-letter wrestling names that aren't awful? Test, Meat, Puke...Kane's fine, I suppose.
  7. Wade Barrett must be in line for a big push in the fall. Gotta test that mettle.
  8. I was just talking to someone about how much I'd love to see a Shriners gimmick, with the fez and the little car and everything. Combine that with the guy getting stuck in the Shriner car and getting attacked by his opponent every time and you can just take my wallet.
  9. I honestly wonder what WWE folk think of Cesaro at this point. We get stories about the higher-ups thinking he's "boring," and the crowd admittedly hasn't taken to him fully yet, but the guy's had lights-out matches for months now. The "Real Americans" was probably an attempt to get him over, but the crowd reacts weirdly to them, in part because a lot of them probably agree with some of Colter's schtick and in part because people just love shout-along catchphrases regardless of face/heel alignments. I'd imagine at this point he's earned himself a position in the company for a few years regardless, but I really wonder if last night's performance (and the "This is Awesome" chants proving that the fans weren't just in it because of Bryan) will prompt another attempt to get him higher up the card or if at this pooint they're content with him filling the Malenko/Regal role of "guy who can get a good match out of whomever we're trying to push this month."
  10. Tazz is probably the answer. "Least imposing" big guy is interesting though - Yeti? El Gigante?
  11. Isn't that the basic plot of a good 60% of Will Ferrell's movies?
  12. Plus, ring gear consisting entirely of clothing bought at Urban Outfitters would solve everything. Cut-off shorts, Toms, vaguely Native-American print tank top, cycling cap? All of the money.
  13. And the genesis of McMahon's muscle fetish is revealed...
  14. I don't generally care about physiques, but Ohno has looked particularly bad lately. He looks like a former 300+ pound guy who has dropped some weight without adding any muscle. I'm sure his conditioning is just fine, but his look is honestly distracting right now, especially since his gimmick is bad-ass striker. Having said that, I agree that if they really wanted him on the main roster, they'd just put him in a singlet and call it a day.
  15. So, wait, they set up a champion vs. champion match with Sabin/Manicide for "next week", and then Hogan specifically states that Sabin will defend the title next month? I kind of assumed setting up the former match meant someone else was going to come out in the Suicide get-up again and shenanigans would ensue. Bully Ray trying to play himself off as TJ Perkins in the suit sounds kind of awesome.
  16. Oh sure, just laugh it off after you yelled at me and hurt my feelings...
  17. Jesus, HHH vs. Austin for control of WWE at Wrestlemania in 2014 sounds like the sort of thing somebody railing against how out of touch McMahon is would make up. How could anyone thaink that's a good idea?
  18. Wyatt's finisher should blow, but the kiss on the forehead is such a great character flourish. Hopefully he introduces the corner splash/waltz bit soon, too.
  19. Axel/RVD sounds a little better to me, both because of the Heyman thing and because I'd rather see Ambrose wrestle...just about anyone.
