RIPPA Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 The context - from Dave Quote Zayn was the subject of controversy this past week due to the tweets regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict. This wound up with pro-Israel groups and media contacting WWE, NBCU and FOX, which did not respond EDIT - And this should go without saying - we aren't discussing the conflict in this thread or any other thread on the board. If you have a burning desire to do so - find the Discord link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it is trending, it’s just in the United States, so who cares! All I’ll say is… based Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an episode of ARN a couple months ago, someone asked him if Arn was short for Arnold. I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of someone calling him Arnold or Arnie and being promptly punched soon after. He said no. Ole said it was a Nordic name. ARN. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a next generation of Anderson's. Didn't Ole, Lars, or Gene have any kids or at least nephews? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Studcast, Arn said JYD said he looked like an Anderson before he went to Georgia and changed his name. The infamous Zan Panzer (aka Zamfir Panflute) was Gene's son.

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah, Gene's kid was AGENT STEELE. Ole's son was a wrestler, but he started at like the wrong time. Ole had pretty much started to make himself persona non grata in WCW especially when Bischoff got the EP role. This somehow led to Cornette putting a booger on the windshield of Eric's car because he fired Ole's son when said son was at the Power Plant and doing jobs on TV.

You don't take the last name Anderson without trying to draw that connotation. According to Wikipedia, he began using the Anderson name when he began training at the NJ LA Dojo and was using the Spinebuster as a finisher during that time. Interestingly, Karl Anderson still used his real name Chad Allegra as ring name in his home promotion NWF in Ohio as late as 2013 (at least according to cagematch). Of course if your real last name is Anderson, you might use that name without any hints of being related to Ole, Arn and Gene. I mean Mr. Kennedy would have been a horrible Anderson. It was a wise decision by WWE to change his last name when they called him up. Edited May 14, 2021 by Robert s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of someone calling him Arnold or Arnie and being promptly punched soon after. He said no. Ole said it was a Nordic name. ARN. Arn is very probably a shortened version of Arne. The Arn- part has been used for quite a while in name compositions aswell, e. g. Arnulf which is a quite common name in medival Scandinavia. Arn should mean Eagle (which would make Arnulf eagle wolf, which is insanely badass) if whatever I learnt at university doesn't fail me now. Ole is also a Nordic name, if I remember it correctly it was interpreted as something that basically means son of the gods. The e in the end is pronounced differently, similar to the pronunciation of the e at the end of "the" when the word following starts with a consonant. Gene is not Scandinavian, though. Neither is C. W. Karl would be an old-germanic name, therefore fitting the theme somewhat. It simply means man, though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieNippz Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Did CW Anderson have any connection to Ole or Arn? I remember seeing him wrestle at a few Southern Championship Wrestling shows in NC twenty years ago and I remember him using a spinebuster.

Ramo2653 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Was the Talent Management Group supposed to find third party opportunities for talent? Like Cameo, Twitch, etc? If so it makes sense that Zelina came back, not that I was paying attention to how her Twitch numbers were looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
