Multiple reports saying Johnny Impact/Nitro/Hennighan/Morrison/Mundo  has signed with WWE 

I think that's for the best. He's still good in the ring and an awesome dirtbag character but he didn't fit what AEW is trying to present. Best of luck to him.

Johnny Luchathing, dammit! should be his name.

Are they giving Lawler the Raw gig because they want to make sure he doesn't jump promotions and reunite with Ross?

I'd suggest "Johnny Goodluchathing" but that might get him heat with Moxley.

Spoiler

Mox' real name is Jonathan Good.

Just put a B in between first and last name and that's a helluva 50s gimmick right there.  Can you imagine him doing that while starting out?  That would be wild to see if only for the before and after pics.

Well played on that last part.

Given Les Thatcher's track record of goofy gimmicks(Bennie the Bookie, Ice Cream Man, Surfer, Taxi Driver, the paperboy Rapid Delivery Rory Fox) it's surprising he didn't go with something like that with his shoot name. Not that being a goof running around tossing a nerf football as part of Unnecessary Roughness was that much better, but still.

Pamela Anderson papered over the cracks of what was a woeful 95 Rumble card.

And a bonus Tommy Lee / Shawn fight.

 

The random celebrities that showed up at early Manias deserve special mention for just how surreal some were.  My pick goes to Clara Peller as "guest timekeeper".

I'll go with Ozzy in the British Bulldogs corner at WM2. I wonder who did more coke that night, Ozzy or Dynamite Kid?

"Where's the beef?" was pretty legit.  I still have no idea who Herb was.  The same WrestleMania with two burger chain characters.

Vince was like 40 back then and still had his finger on the pulse of pop culture.  I can't imagine if he was 40 today and having to watch Tik Tok videos and scan Instahoe pages looking for what passes for a celebrity in 2019.  "Bootycutie69 is here and she's living her best life at WrestleMania!"
