I'm talking about when a person has a gimmick name and a nickname that's kind of not officialy, but a cool way to refer to them as. Just trying to remember all the times where the company changed a wrestlers name subtley by only referring to them by their nickname.
I mean:
Total Package Lex luger -> The total package (Lex luger is dead, they had a funeral for him).
BadAss Billy Gun -> (Officially) Mr. Ass for a few weeks.
Val Venis -> Big Valbowski (remember when they even introduced him to the ring by this and tried to phase out Val Venis?)

Now I dunno if anyone remembers this but...
As a kid watching WWF Superstars on the section of the show at the end which showed on screen captions of who was on next weeks show they announced a debut of the Komet (Kombat possibly) Kid - but when I next saw the Komet Kid he was called Max Moon.....I've never found out whether or not this happened I'm 81.3% sure it did but if someone with one of those extensive 169 year WWF tape collection can find out I'd be very greatful.

When you wrote crappy subtle name changes, I thought you were referring to all the members who constantly change thier user names.

Oh I disagree there's everything wrong.
I mean I recognise posters by their avatar, their sig, and their name.
If ChrisHoganMasters with a picture of Michael Cole in the avatar and a signiture depicting Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior in a comprimising position suddenly becomes Frankismybabgirl87 with a Typhoon avatar and a signiture which simply says "UNION 4 LIVE" in NWO-style spraypaint on a black background......then the whole thing just gets confusing!

R A O T F L M A O ! Couldn't have said it better myself... that's why The Spike will always be The Spike (on this board at least), except for a joke for 15 minutes or so. |

I hate how they only refer to Carlito as "Carlito" instead of his full name now. I dunno why, it just bugs the crap out of me.

They changed the spelling of Buh Buh's name to Bubba...... If you're gonna throw out spelling then don't forget the fascination with spelling boys with a Z .There's the Dudlyez, which is anotherthing since they completely dropped the Boyz part, and The Hardy Boyz. Let's not forget Rhino(Rhyno) and Taz(z). |

I think they just caqll gene snitsky snitsky. I liked it with his first name some people sound better the full names, some sound good with just the first or last name. My personal grievance is how some of the more gimmicked names sometimes have "The" on there and sometimes don't. Sometimes it sounds better with "the" on there and some don't like The Rock, The undertaker, The Edge.... |
