Well, he had his Motorhead "Game" theme when he came back on 2002 from his first quad tear, and it's 2010 now...so yeah. And he had that theme well before '02, I think his themes went in order like so:

First: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RjVU3eEyKw
Second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52qjx2gnaA
Third (DX) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl6nx2d5q9o
Fourth (post-DX) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwjUf_rAhxU
Fifth (The Game) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mMj0qUcZbc
Sixth (King of Kings) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5glgn8rmELE

But he's been using the Motorhead "The Game" theme forever, I know since maybe late '90s or early '00s, so it's stayed for over 10 years for sure.

You're mising two thmes between his third and fourth.

There's also another version of My Time he used after The Game for a short time, then went back to The Game.

I'm not sure why you quoted me here. I was talking about Eric Bischoff, not HHH.

What's the GIF showing Maria making this really awkward grimace about (usually accompanied by some jab about how bad an actress she is)? I've seen it around here a lot, but I've tried to search around to figure it out myself but I haven't come up with anything. Also can someone post a link to the original video if possible?

Because the really big guys couldn't be put into it properly/stretch properly and because apparently it REALLY loving HURT to be in it. I believe he said that it was really necessary to change it, and I seem to recall him appearing on Tough Enough and putting a guy into it by request and the guy said it was incredibly painful.

The Walls was really, really hard to get out of because of the angle you're held at. In addition to Jerusalem's reasons, a crab allows more options during a match since the opponent has different ways to break or reverse it.

Well this just makes no sense. Why would Jericho switch to a move that is easier to counter? Doesn't he want to win?!

Which, considering Cena's neck, is frightening.

Also, watching SmackDown I just saw him bust it out on JTG, who is neither small nor flippy.

So the answer is more of a "He busts it out utilizes it under specific circumstances with specific guys, who he's probably practiced it with and agreed to it beforehand."

Jericho oughta use the Walls ---> Liontamer when someone tries to reach the ropes, much like Angle's grapevined ankle lock.

All it would take is for one announcer to differentiate between the walls and the liontamer in one match, then say "The liontamer is virtually inescapable, but Jericho can only use it on wrestlers smaller than himself."

Kayfabe problem solved, finisher put over, match more interesting.

Wrestling is not rocket-science.

I've definitely heard the explanation during a match that the Walls are more effective on bigger guys, so you could extrapolate from that that the more basic move on the big guys is as effective as the full Liontamer on the smaller ones.

the finish at Sould Out 98 has an awesome example of how great the liontamer can be used on small dudes

I was wikitrawling the other day and found out Shad Gaspard is the wrestler's real, full name. That really surprised me, since I assumed it was WWE SOP to give a name that can be trademarked (and more importantly, that the wrestler can't take with them when they leave - qv "Chris Chen" on TNA)

Are there any other nobodys/internally developed talents that WWE has allowed to use their real names for?

There's these two schmoes called John Cena and Randy Orton that use their own names, but they probably don't have any big plans for those guys anyway. :v:
