Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A heel turn and semi-push for Chris Hero? YES!! I can't in good faith call him Kassius Ohno. Yes, I know he came up with the name. It pays homage to Muhammad Ali, but the indy nerd in me hates the name. It's like referring to Claudio Castagnoli as Cesaro. When your given name is Claudio Castagnoli, anything else isn't going to be as good. Granted, Antonio Cesaro wasn't bad. BTW, Muhammad Ali's middle name was Marcellus. Cassius Marcellus...that's just fucking bad ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dude named Cassius Macellus shouldn't be boxing, he should be chopping fools up with a fucking broadsword. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm picturing. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 On 7/2/2018 at 7:10 AM, Craig H said: Bums me out that it looks like Dijak is a job guy. I guess that's how other super talented dudes have been used too, like Oney until recently, but Dijak just looks like someone who could be a superstar. If they're treating him as a prospect though and bringing him up slowly then I'll try to refrain from complaining much. He’s been given a new name. Say hello to Dominik Dijakovic.

Unless he's going to be Rusev's cousin, I hate it. They might as well have stuck with Donovan Dijak. ...and yes I have a Seinfeld clip to tie in with WWE name changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Donovan Dijak and Gunner have each gotten their NXT names (both were still using their real names) Dijak = Dominik Dijakovic Gunner = Jaxson Ryker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSC Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yea ... there's no way he's not going to be going by just "Dijak" within 6 months. Interesting way to trademark a new name but essentially still be able to call him his already known name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Quote Independent wrestler Lacey Lane who had a WWE tryout back in February of 2017 has signed a developmental contract with the company according to LuchaCentral. Late last year she revealed on an episode of the Spinning Heel Kick Podcast that she was set to report to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida in March of last year but due to them finding arthritis in her knee they took back the contract offer. She mentioned in the interview she was changing her workouts to strengthen her knee and hoped to get another opportunity to get a contract with WWE, which she did. Lane was a mainstay in The Crash Lucha Libre where she held the Women’s Championship with the company. She also was frequently booked in AroLucha. http://squaredcirclesirens.com/lacey-lane-signs-with-wwe/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Undisputed Era feels like a lock if they don't move up after SummerSlam. If Bobby Fish is healthy by then, it'd be nice to see them try for a more traditional format than last year. I'm surprised they haven't done War Games on the main roster yet. I'm sure Mattel would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
