What was wrong with the word "Langston?"

Maybe he's re-packaging BIG E as the son of Biggie Smalls?

Mr.Nice Guy

Nice to know that the WWE takes names so seriously. We need to have guys with tough, macho sounding names just like our current World Champion RANDY.

Chagan

So which one is more macho, Daniel or Bryan?

Let's be fair neither of them can compare to "Dolph" or "Miz".

Eire-Dearg

I've long been critical of WWE's name storming.

Nothing strikes fear less than a lad called Adrian Neville or Colin Cassidy. Sound like a midfield pairing for a Offaly Junior B team.

Chris Hero said that in his shoot interview. Hence why he went the other direction with the name Kassius Ohno. They fecking love Irish/Irishish names.

Ridley

Adrian Neville/Pac/whatever is almost certainly channelling foottheball as the inspiration for the name.

Curtis Axl's not much of an improvement though. Why the hell if the're talking about him being a "third generation superstar" are they not letting him use Hennig.....

I don't have a problem with it.

But why he can't just be Joe Henning is beyond me.

Oh its a huge improvement, McCillacutty was awful. Up there with Ryan Braddock and Braden Walker

Your right though, Joe Henning would have been soo much better though

And starting this moment, from now. From this moment on, this will be the moment. Starting now, of the Genesis of McGillicutty

I feel sorry for Dolph. Born with one of the coolest wrestling names you could ask for, yet they give him a name that sounds like it belongs to a nickelodeon character.

Stone Cold knows where his bread is buttered that is for sure :rolleyes:

On Talent Not Being Held Back: "Let me tell you something, there ain't nobody holding nobody down in WWE. Now it's true that the powers that be do not believe in certain people. It is up to the talent to make management believe in them and give them a push. There is a pretty thin roster of talent in that locker room. There's a lot of guys and gals, but when you talk about the cream of the crop, you're talking about the best. Vince McMahon will let anybody be a star that has the potential be a star. John Cena wants different dance partners. Triple H would love a different dance partner. Randy Orton would love a different dance partner. Daniel Bryan would love a different dance partner. C.M. Punk, if he comes back, would love a different dance partner. So, hey man, the doors are wide open, the ceiling is unlimited. I hear that all the time, man.

On John Cena Wanting a Challenge: "John Cena is the top dog. He would love for someone to be in contention for that top dog status because he's an alpha male, he's a competitive cat and he wants to battle it out and fight for his job. All he does is keep going up and down the road, doing his best, giving it his all in the ring, and that's all you can ask from a WWE superstar. All the cats I just mentioned are working their asses off and doing their deal. It's gotta be up to the talent coming up to make some noise, not be afraid to go out on a limb and take a chance. "

On What Talent Needs to Do: "You cats in the back who listen to my show in the back, do something, wake somebody up, grab that ****ing business, that company by the throat and say, 'Hey, mother****er I want a push!' The sky is the limit, cats."

Ridley

John Cena wants different dance partners. Triple H would love a different dance partner. Randy Orton would love a different dance partner. Daniel Bryan would love a different dance partner.

To be fair he's just saying it as it is. And he's not wrong either the roster is thin as hell. A lot of talent but very few are legitimately over on a main event level. As much as I hate to see it, there are a few reasons why we're sitting through Cena Vs Orton Part 46.

And what's annoying about it is if someone goes out and gets themselves over they're either buried or it's ignored. Make up your minds WWE, if you want a fresher main event roster don't get pissy when guys get themselves over.

I think more so the problem is when people get over organically, WWE notice and try to push said person but then creative does more damage than good. Sometimes when someone is being obviously pushed it stops feeling organic and starts to feel forced and turns people off turning people into "damaged goods". Ryder and Ziggler are probably the two most recent cases of this. Ziggler was getting over as being a bit of likable dickhead, cos everyone knows someone like that. Then they tried turning hi into another smiley babyface that makes bad jokes and soon crickets greeted him. I think what Austin's point here is when something like this happens, have the balls to stand up and say I don't like where tis is going, i'm gonna try this etc.

Rey Mysterio

has injured himself again

Apparently he injured his knee in the Fatal 4 Way match with Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston and Mark Henry that will air on SmackDown.

During the match Rey landed bad and quickly went out to the floor and laid down beside the steel steps. Rey pulled one of his pant legs up and removed the large knee brace that he wears, clearly in pain.

So who had February 11 in the Rey Gets Injured Sweepstakes?

So if you're looking forward to watching SMACKDOWN tonight, just skip right past this post

Rey really needs to just retire at this stage,he should have years ago

pity it couldnt have been before the Rumble :rolleyes:

Exactly, like Cena, he was super over from being a cocky asshole in 2004, then once he was pushed down people's throats they turned on him.

Fans aren't entirely without blame either though, crowds cheer for someone they want and give out when they're not being given a shot, then when creative run with it they turn on them, fickle bunch :pac:

Yeah it's over for him imo, he's a had a HOF career and made a tonne of money. It's time now to look at other options, his body is telling him it's had enough.

At Rey Mysterio. This is the end for him I think. The guy is too injury prone to keep active.

At Randy Orton :rolleyes: Dat Triple H and Vince McMahon. They must think that this is a punishment for him or something. Wouldn't be surprised if Orton pulls a Punk and takes his ball and goes home.

rovert

Except Rey wasn't injured and it was just a sell job.
