what are you talking about? he's playfully arm-wrestling a fan. He just looks funny because he's looking serious about it.

I like the singlet tights that Angle wears, and I miss them on Shelton and Haas. Haas brought that and the warm ups back a couple times on velocity, but Shelton changed to a cool looking trunks only version, but now he changed that to a gayer design. It went from kind of cool metallic look to this goofy nickelodeon, kids meal design.

He can still sing that if they ever put Sylvain Grenier on Smackdown.
Ah, who am I kidding? That's ancient history now.

Edit: Actually they did. Adding Friday Night to the title ain't exactly revolutionary. You mean this won't transform our sysem of governing? CrimineyGeezDrat and I was really hoping

it was never called Thursday Night Smackdown it was just Smackdown. I know its being nit picky but I hate name changes. Like if they changed Wrestlemania to March Madness people would be pissed. Especially the NCAA

it was never called Thursday Night Smackdown it was just Smackdown. I know its being nit picky but I hate name changes. Like if they changed Wrestlemania to March Madness people would be pissed. I hated how it went from Monday night Raw to Raw is War (and the Warzone) to Raw. Mick foley: brown turdlike maniac mankind with one finger glove to happy go lucky mankind with sock puppet and office shirt. Once he changed his music, he didn't have a seperate exit music. Kurt Angle: up until recently, the gold medals. He wears that cut off shirt (ala hbk) over his singlet, and stopped using those spiffy warm ups since he disbanded Team Angle. Also, Olympic slam = Angle Slam. Tommy Dreamer is now the personification of ecw with the Shinai since somebody's got to use it. Hbk, doing that weird "praise" pose he does before the match instead of the usual biceps flex pose that he sometimes does (but no longer gets the pyro). Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against his commitment to his faith, but damn it even when you're a heel? He only dropped it during his heel turn where he kind of scooted his hands like, yeah whatever and when he came out to annoy Montreal but Busted it out at Summerslam. Hey this gave me another idea, but it's so similiar I don't want to start another thread. Dropped parts of a gimmick and catchphrases: Cena's: Word life, Thuganomics, Masterlock chain necklace/pendant. No freestyling. Kurt Angle: 3 I's, It's true it's true, "Hi Kurt Angle, Olympic champion...". Kane: the lights go out first before Kane's pyro hits. Undertaker: ending every promo "rest... in... peace...", the body bags, the urn, showing no emotion when he wrestles at a slower pace. The Rock: would milk the hell out of his catchphrases yet somehow come up with a new one every week and slowly phase the others slowly. Taz: from crazy judo, submission, suplex machine in a singlet and towel, to Angry brooklyn guy in a prison uniform. And his cathphrases went "beat me if you can, survive if I let you" to "the mood is about the change" to "Thug life born, Thug life bred, and when I die, I'll be thug life dead" and talking about Joey numbers.

I also dislike the Shawn Michaels psuedo-heel-but-still-religious freak thing he got going on right now. He's a heel but still does the PRAISE BE TO JEE-ZUZ! thing, which I dislike.
Here's something else that really bugs me: leather pants. Seriously, what's with all the leather pants nowadays? 2/3rds of the wrestlers wear 'em. Shawn Michaels, Psicosis, Juventud Guerrera, Rey Mysterio; I hate it. I hate Shawn's new look and it doesn't make any sense. It looks like he forgot to take off his chaps. And Juventud, Psicosis, and Rey Mysterio have essentially become one single entity of leather pants.

I'm not sure what the deal is with shawn micheals, he heeled on HOgan, the cheered him when he came out like nothing happened, Masters interrupts and cuts a heelish promo on him. And Micheal's reply sounds lot like the heel promos he cut when he was midcard mullet heel. And didn't you change your name for a couple days? I'm still not sure what that one means, but it sticks in the head and not hard to forget.

I changed my name for like a day; first it was something about Morgan Webb and then it was URmomGoes2Kolledge. But I realized both of those were gay. My old name on here was TheDrizzle and I fondly remember getting kicked off here a few months ago for making disparaging remarks about The Dynamite Kid.

My old name on here was TheDrizzle and I fondly remember getting kicked off here a few months ago for making disparaging remarks about The Dynamite Kid. Speaking of which, I remember in the orginal incarnation of this thread someone said: I thought this was about the posters subtley changing their names to confuse the hell out of us. And it turned into slightly interesting conversation. I remember someone said, "it's not that big a deal and you can kind of tell who they are" and someone else replied (and I'm paraphrasing) "it's one thing to change or two things at a time, but it's another when you're name's like SuperStarking (for example) 113 with a christopher danieal avatar and tna for life sig to Super sucky fun time with a my little pony sig and smurfs avatar". ------------------------- No point for that, just totally remembered since the subject of name changing came up in the same type of thread. And the guy's original response was hilarioius. Too bad I can't remember it completely.

When a guy's gimmick name is switched with his nickname, or slightly altered.
I think there was a thread on this too.
Bad ass billy gunn - Mr. Ass (yet essentially the same gimmick) Val Venis -> Big Valbowski The Big Bossman (Hogan era) -> Bossman (Austin Era) Total Package Lex LUger -> Total Package.

I should correct myself. It's not really a song by Tool. It's more like an interlude of sorts. It's two minutes of Maynard singing about a recipe in German, but it sounds like something sinister.

On the subject of attire, Victoria's surpringly haven't been the same since she ditched the Pink. Not since Bret, have I liked the color pink on a wrestler.
The new theme's not soo bad anymore now that they slowed it down.
