Brian Fowler Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hell, it's also just a refrence to internet meme culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Let Xavier go with an Ike Turner gimmick It'll be like Kanyon hitting the Cutter on random people at random times in random places. Only replace 'people' with 'his woman' and 'hitting the Cutter' with 'slapping'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Let Xavier go with an Ike Turner gimmick It'll be like Kanyon hitting the Cutter on random people at random times in random places. Only replace 'people' with 'his woman' and 'hitting the Cutter' with 'slapping'. The Funkadactyls become Naomi and Cameron Woods. Xavier starts referring to them both each week as "Anna Mae" and forcing them to eat cake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Why can't the announcing team just acknowledge pop culture references and leave them at face value. Cole had to make up some story about Xavier Woods striving to better himself everyday when in reference to the "Over 9,000" logo on Xavier's gear. Victator knows it. Fowler knows it. Quite a few of us know it is a reference to Dragonball . Just struck me as odd. I had no idea it was a Dragonball reference, but, then again, I am grown man (I kid, Vic and Fowler, I kid!). Plus, would you really want Michael Cole to explain Dragonball to the kiddies out there? "You see it's this where Goku, who is like John Cena, is trying to get dragonballs, which are like the WWE championship and..." all the while Vince McMahon is yelling "What the fuck is this shit, Cole?!" in his ear-piece.

Victator Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 If you listen to the interview, HHH is very careful how he phrases things. He wants to have a unified champion and he thinks there should be one champion. He never outright says "This is a unification match." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRV Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I find it hard to believe that no one from CZW or IWA-MS ever used that - the nickname or the finisher, in fact. I'm counting down the days until CZW, IWA-MS or BJW run an actual circumcision match Plus, would you really want Michael Cole to explain Dragonball to the kiddies out there? "You see it's this where Goku, who is like John Cena, is trying to get dragonballs, which are like the WWE championship and..." all the while Vince McMahon is yelling "What the fuck is this shit, Cole?!" in his ear-piece. Senzu beans would certainly explain some of Cena's matches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
