Vance Archer has intense nu-metal music because he is intense. Ezekiel Jackson has music about domination because he dominates. Randy Orton is a psycho IED viper so he naturally hears voices. poo poo like that.

Atticus Finch posted:Have they ever explained the kayfabe reason why wrestlers get certain music? Like "Hogan felt this music explained him perfectly" or something much better written. Probably not, because most of the time the music is related to a guy's gimmick or ethnicity one way or another. CM Punk has Killswitch Engage for obvious reasons, guys like Shelton and Mark Henry have rap music because they're black, Kofi has reggae/dancehall music because he used to be Jamaican, etc. It's hard to come across a gimmickless white guy in today's WWE, so most of the time the entrance music goes without saying.

Same song, same lyrics, diff'rent larynx. I think I remember him entering to female vocals in his entrance theme for his WMX rematch with Razor at SummerSlam '95, though I could be mistaken.

CombineThresher posted:They're both good workers but CM Punk made it to the world championship so I'm gonna ultimately say they're different. They both work a stiff technical style in the ring, with not too much flair (beyond some nifty kicks) and talk pretty much straight without being wacky, or comedic, or spitting through gritted teeth. But Punk has piercings, tattoos, a hardcore punk intro, and calls his clean lifestyle "straight-edge". I'm basically saying Punk (especially heel Punk) proves Storm had a bad break, because they're really the same candy in different wrapper.

Did Ashley Massaro ever file a lawsuit or even issue a moderately convincing denial concerning that whole she's-a-hooker story in Rolling Stone? I remember there had been some question at first whether it was referring to some other Ashley Massaro but last I heard they did indeed implicate the Dirty Diva herself.

OK this is a long shot but, I remember watching a wrestling match when i was a kid, say about late eighties, where Mr. T and somebody else were wrestling the killer bees. The end of the match was the Bees going under the ring and coming out in their black hoods and whips then whipping Mr. T, who then got taken away in an ambulance. Now did this is happen. I am confusing details. It may have not been Mr. T but another black wrestler. It was the killer Bees though, who else wore black and yellow trunks back then. I remember piper whipping Mr. T with his belt, so it wasn't that. Its been driving me crazy for while now because i swear this happened

Heres something I was just wondering for a sec - when a Mcmahon is in a PPV match does anyone know if he/she gets a regular payout? Like did Shane get paid massively for that ridiculous poo poo he let Kurt do to him at KOTR.
