cool arrow Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 By the same token, I think if you ran up to Alice Cooper and called him Vincent... you're kind of a nozzle. Alice Cooper was the first celebrity name I came across that wasn't the same as his real name. I have no feelings about Alice Cooper. Alice has stated on his radio show that only his family calls him Vince(nt). Anyone else, he just won't answer to it, Oddly enough, originally "Alice Cooper" was the name of his band, not him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 If I ever meet Jay Z, I'm going to call him Shawn Carter. Because I mean, fuck, that's just his stage name and it'd be so stupid to call a grown man "Jay-Z." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If you ever meet Kanye, call him Ray J. I bet he'll get a kick out of that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If you ever meet Kanye, call him Ray J. I bet he'll get a kick out of that. That's funny because if I meet Kim, I'm going to call her Bluto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 This absurdity is even more well........absurd when you consider guys like Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Are they Daniel, Seth and Dean or Bryan, Tyler and Jon? I mean, wrestling conventions say to call them by their gimmick name but I might be an ROH fan who wants to know Seth Rollins at "Tyler Black." Not that it's particularly relevant to the discussion, but Tyler Black isn't his real name either. It's just his previous gimmick name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's particularly relevant to the discussion, but Tyler Black isn't his real name either. It's just his previous gimmick name. Yeah, I used Tyler because it's a another potential stage name. I wouldn't call him Colby because I would really have no basis for knowing that without looking him up. The issue with Punk is that he seems hostile towards people who call him Phil. I don't get hostile towards people who call me by a name that I don't want to be called, I just politely correct them. And also, we all know that his name is "Phil Brooks" now because it's been all over the sports media. EDIT - Actually, my name gets mispronounced a fair amount and I generally just let it go. Maybe I'm just too nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterien Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Not so random thought; Could all this talk of Lesnar walking out of RAW, contract negotiation stuff and his appearance at UFC 184 be part of a work to get fans against Lesnar at Mania??

Gorman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 When Punk stayed at our house, our daughter was just a baby, so we called him "Uncle Pepsi." I give you permission to call him that. Debate closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If I ever meet Tony Shalhoub, I'm calling him Antonio Scarpacci. When I woke up this morning, I didn't expect to get a Wings reference. Kudos for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just thought I'd jump in quickly on the CM Punk/Phil Brooks thing. Feel free to now put me in the weird pile. Punk called himself "Phil Brooks" on a television program. If he wanted people to not call him by his real name then he shouldn't be using his real name on TV. Plus, a week after he and Colt brought this up, he signs with UFC and is now known as Phil "CM Punk" Brooks. Uhh.. so what exactly are they complaining about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well we can't call him fuckface or his old lady will get mad at us Ha. That was another strange situation. So obviously he and Michelle Beadle were friends at one point. Whether you believe that she should be walking around backstage at a WWE event saying "what's up fuckface" is up for debate but it's not unheard of for friends to jokingly call one another names. I'd be surprised if it was anything more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I've said this before but the fact that someone who is nearly 40 thought it was acceptable to do that while working and representing a major network is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is inconsistent and being a fucking brat about the whole thing. Punk's fans are so blind to his faults that no one wants to admit his behavior in public is characteristic of someone who popular society might call an asshole.

SirSmUgly Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 OK, question. What don't I get about lucha? Like, trios matches, I don't get those. Even something like Ultimo Guerrero vs. Atlantis seems weirdly-paced to me. I can never get into them. I know it's a cultural block that I need to get past, and I think that it's worth it to do so because ignoring a whole country rich in talent because of their style seems kinda lame to me. Help me understand what I should be looking for in lucha. What sort of tropes are there that I can latch on to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 i dont think this needs it's own thread, but just as a change of pace, since this has been a somewhat lackluster WM season, and we've been discussing things such as women getting stiffed by dudes in the ring, and somehow CM Punk again, I want to talk about everything having to do with this: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1gfwd_world-war-3-97-prt4_sport I've been mentally trying to dissect how much politicking must have went into this, but holy shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
