in the death pool thread endorph mentioned how jeff hardy renaming his finisher twist of hate (he's a heel now y'see) makes no sense. there's still twist in there so it describes the move better than say the pedigree, wasteland, attitude adjustment, rko, last ride, future shock, beautiful disaster, trouble in paradise, stroke, mic check, styles clash, muscle buster, etc. What are some clever move names? (F5, jacknife, backstabber, skull crushing finale, sweet chin music, 619, angle slam, hellevator, skull & bones, etc.) Web Jew.0 fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Nov 10, 2010 |

When thinking of clever names, "Angle Slam" is not one that comes to mind.

RKO makes perfect sense. Randy's initials. It also KOs people.

^ it'd be better if the oval office punt was the rko since it actually does ko people. As it is his initials would have to be T.W.O.Chilly McFreeze posted:When thinking of clever names, "Angle Slam" is not one that comes to mind. It's a slam done at an angle by an Angle idk it's more clever than olympic slam or Kurt Slam I guess

It's just with every wrestling book I've read it seemed like a guy who came up in Lawler's time would have partied a lot just to be accepted by his wrestling peers..

I doubt he's "straight edge" but he probably just doesn't drink much, especially not to intoxication. I don't think it's like Ted Nugent, who claims he never drinks but used to be seen in a small city in Ontario, Canada drinking at a bar anytime he wasn't touring.

I have never liked "Sweet Chin Music". Just try explaining it to a non-wrestling fan. I hate it, but I chuckled when I heard about "Eat Defeat".

When exactly did ECW become such a loving love-in and re-write their history so that they were always these hard-working honest family men who were super tightly knit and always looked out for one another?

Eat Defeat is an OK name but it replaced a better one. Sole-food. Since soul food is a term [and 'eat defeat'] is not, I find Sole-food better describes the act of forcing someone to slam their jaw into your foot. If Gail Kim had any drops of personality or a line of dialogue in the past year, it'd be even better for it.

IIRC, the first match he used it, Gavin Loudspeaker (the commentator) called it, "The Blu-Ray, it's just that much better than a DVD!"

Watching WWE On Demand, they're airing the 1995 Survivor Series. One of the matches has the ring announcer introducing Ahmed Johnson as making his PPV debut. Knowing now how much of a push he was going get before injuries derailed him, it seemed announcing his PPV debut was a big step in that direction. It got me to thinking though, is Survivor Series the PPV where most debuts (to the company and ppv) occur? Undertaker, The Rock, the aforementioned Ahmed, CM Punk made his PPV debut, Scott Steiner, Ric Flair,and Kurt Angle are some of the names that I can think of. No other PPV seems to be quite the same launching pad for a new face.
