I mean, we all roll our eyes at guys losing first names or nicknames or stuff like that but to completely change the team name and ring names of a pretty established act is something out of the pre-NXT days and is kind of concerning. I mean, this isn't far off from Adam Cole coming out as like Bobby BayBay. You shut your fucking mouth, edit your post, and delete it before anyone could possibly get this idea. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Also, Velveteen Dream ain't keeping his name if this is the new thinking. Vince: "No one know what Velveteen is. Is he a rabbit? Is he a piece of cheese? And Dream, that's disrespectful to Dr. King and Dusty. His name is Purple Pete, pal." 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I will still contend Triple H is the dumbest top guy name ever. You have to periodically say what acronyms stand for or they lose all meaning. Unless you've been watching for 20+ years (and a big chunk of the audience legitimately isn't even that old) and are a dork that pays way too much attention to this stuff like us, HHH is as enigmatic as EC3 Vince and his branding, I swear... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince probably thinks the MCU is a mid-90s rapper I'm thinking more like a branch of UPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always gets a hearty chuckle from outside the wrestling bubble. When would Samoa Joe possibly come up outside of discussion with other wrestling fans?

Craig H Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 TVE sounds like a cancer causing chemical found in something you wouldn't think of, like, straws or something. They took care of BPA, sure, but no one thought about TVE. Don't even get me started on the AoP that's present in paper plates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The Viking Experience sounds like an off-menu scenario that you have to specifically ask for at "The Dungeon" because one time a guy died while trying it. I am looking forward though to the inevitable AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins one-on-one match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is not a wrestling fan. We had a long talk about what wrestling is and why I like and when she watches it she reacts to every move like it's the elevator scene from The Departed. Anyway, she knows Samoa Joe is one of my favorite wrestlers. She never once laughed about or thought it sounded dumb. I think she has maybe seen who Samoa Joe is once. This morning I asked her what she thought about the Viking Experience and no lie, she thought I was talking about a cruise somewhere. I told her it was a new name for wrestlers whose former name was the War Raiders. She said Viking Experience sounds dumb and War Raiders sounds more metal. I can't argue with her logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 To piggy back a little bit off of Craig My wife thought The Viking Experience was amazingly stupid - but more for there was a specific phrased Graves used when describing them that she was like "Really???" (I am blanking on what Graves said mainly because I am becoming really good at ignoring all of them) But she also thought War Raiders was really stupid too when she saw them for the first time when I was watching Takeover last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 With any luck, Vince will find out about the Norwegian cruise line that surely already has this trademarked, panic, and come up with another new team name next week. Which will also be already trademarked... and so on until they catch Ed Leslie (or at least Sean Waltman) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
