No the traditional piledriver was used for years after that.


Austin/Owen was 1997, and IIRC, the piledriver was banned for everyone except a specific few, in either 2000 or 2001. Kane was using the chokeslam as his finisher most of the time, and Undertaker was using the Last Ride more often than not.

I'm pretty sure Justin Credible had to change his finisher, although I can't remember what it became for the life of me, and I'm fairly certain Rhyno didn't do his piledriver at all during his WWE tenure.

Did Jerry Lynn do the cradle piledriver when he showed up in WWF? It wasn't his finisher in that one SmackDown game he appeared in, he had a tornado DDT or something.

Google is not providing me with a primary source on this, just other people saying the same thing, so take it with a grain of salt, but the story out there: they were portraying biker characters, to go all in with it they looked up the kind of tattoos bikers get and got some. When it was pointed out that they're also nazi symbols, they were shocked and got them covered up.

The only tattoo artists that will do nazi ink are hardcore lifer nazis. You can't go into some random parlor and pick them off the wall, you have to actively seek them out, typically by knowing a nazi who has also had their ink done there. Also doesn't explain poo poo like this

Adrian Neville was a better name too but WWE's still has that obsession of removing names so they're only one word. I'm legit shocked Sasha Banks isn't just Sasha yet.

I don't want to read his garbage but how did he get 81% out of an 8 man field? is he counting people as half-POC, or based on number of matches not amount of the field, or some other drivel?

Yes he is literally doing race science on people like Eddie Kingston to determine how white they are. This is not a joke.

According to Wikipedia he's been on Dynamite four times. Given that they recently had their 100th episode this would mean that he has appeared on approximately 4% of episodes. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine if this counts as frequent or not.

It does!

Also this guy tagged like 30 accounts in the replies to a tweet of mine (over the course of like 10 tweets to make it weirder) and then gave a very Kurtz like reply when he was asked about it.
