JohnnyJ Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 That Shelton Benjamin story always sounded suspect to me. Under Armour doesn't veer very much outside the All-Star/MVP types for their products. (i.e. Tom Brady, Ray Lewis, etc.) I would find it hard to believe that they would want a 2nd-tier WWE talent to hawk their products. It sounds like a made up story (which if I recall came from Chavo) about how WWE keeps mid-carders in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The story was that it was when they were up and coming and they wanted him for his legit sports background. or so says google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 WWE should put Brodus Clay with Orton as his bodyguard and then Orton goes to The Authority and demands that as the face of the company they show him some appreciation and Triple H is like, "Wait right here" and comes back with Ricardo Rodriguez wearing a bib with BBQ sauce all over it and Orton is all, "What am I supposed to do with that?" Then Orton and Brodus push him around and yell at him to roll those R's. Then Alberto Del Rio walks by and says the only thing Orton has that he wants back is the World Championship. Then Batista beats up Alberto Del Rio. Then MVP introduces DC2 to feud with EC3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooseCannon Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Oh, please, if you are going to put up wacky fantasy booking scenarios, do it right. After Elimination Chamber, Dean Ambrose is not seen for a week. Was he kidnapped by the Wyatts? No, he's watching the WWE Network non-stop and has decided he wants to be a modern-day Roddy Piper. Step one, try to break Orton's arm so that he can wear a cast and be the new Ace. Step two, try and break a coconut over the head of Roman Reigns.

No, they're not going to use him for a commercial during a nationally broadcast football game, but maybe they would for a print ad in a lesser-known fitness magazine or something.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Actually..... Having Brodus Clay as Orton's bodyguard isn't half-bad. I think we're seen all Brodus has to offer. I don't wish for anyone to lose their job but he really doesn't deserve a spot on the roster. He'd be okay in TNA though as they don't have a ton of big fat dudes. I'd be more interested in Orton employing DA BIG GUY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 On the heels of Cesaro losing his first name comes this. (via PWInsider) WWE appears to be downplaying the "Langston" in WWE Intercontinental champion Big E. His WWE profile has dropped the last name and his new t-shirt emphasizes the "Big E." name.

Fallacy! Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 As the rumbles tell it, the reason for Cesaro's name shortening is that someone in creative convinced Vince that Antonio didn't sound like the name a tough guy would have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 So six months down the line how confusing will it be when everyone on the roster is rolling out to one syllable names?
