That was pretty funny.

Having just re-watched most of the 05 Rumble up to that point, it is a little embarrassing to see how huge people backstage apparently thought Snitsky could be. I got it mixed up, he came in first, beat up a couple of guys, then causes Paul London to do a clothesline-fueled SSP from the apron. Then he has a little stare-down with John Cena, and even manages to avoid a FU, and then Big Boots Cena in the face to stand tall while the clock runs down for Kane's entrance.

The reason why some of Snitsky's finisher on Kane was missed wasn't for a new entrance, it was to see how London's lifeless body was stretchered out. So I got that wrong.

I thought they always refered to her as 'close personal friend'? Mainly due to the fact he was on WWE Confidential's version of Cribs and his wife was with him the whole time.

Yes. It and the Cobra logo (what with Hasbro not exactly being on friendly terms with Mattel) are edited out on all promotional pics, posters, video game appearances, action figures, etc. Even as far back as his ECWWE days:

From memory, he started as Create-A-Wrestler and, after a competition for the fans to "create a wrestler" he was Moo-hammed the Communist Bovine, followed by Ultimo Breakfast and lastly Dasher Hatfield (with roughly one year gaps between)

Personally I prefer seeing the wrestlers come down to the ring / dance around / interact with ringside fans in full screen over the same titantron every week.

I remember a lot of people being pissed that they chose Moscow since there were a ton of REALLY funny entries that were posted on ChikaraFans that were passed up for...that. And they weren't even expensive or raunchy.

It was even worse when they went with Ultimo Breakfast. Yeesh.

Ultimo Breakfast's name didn't even make sense. It wasn't a pun on an existing Ultimo, and "Ultimate Breakfast" isn't exactly a term sweeping the nation or a Denny's dish or something

No, not the name itself, I'm talking about doing flapjacks and a fallaway slam called sunny side up and saying "He's toast" during his finisher. I'm easily amused when it comes to puns.

They used to, in the 80s/early 90s. Check out the Royal Rumble mode of WWF WrestleFest on YouTube.

My favourite was always ArmDragon, the wrestler with a dragon on his arm. It was basically CAW as himself while wearing a dragon hand puppet, and he had to do all his offence with that one arm.

I guess it could be kinda funny if he had twelve other guys dressed as breakfasts and they posed like the last supper.

He doesn't have a family to kill. He only has a dog and Benoit left the dog alone.

Edit: Oh, and 7-alarm wings. It has to go along with the most painful chicken wings in the greater Seattle area. Seriously. I'm basically eating pepper spray here.
