AEW files to grab an old Paul Wight name....

[Deleted]

CAPTAIN INSANO - his character from The Waterboy. Apparently in regards to usage in a video game, but still... LOL

All Elite Wrestling announced back on Feb. 24 that it had signed former WWE Champion Paul Wight (better known for 22 years as The Big Show) to a multi-year contract as both a wrestler and commentator. But while AEW won't be able to use Wight's famous wrestling name due to trademarks, they have apparently filed to get their hands another of his alter-egos, Captain Insano. Wight played the role of Insano in the 1998 movie The Waterboy, where he laughs at Adam Sandler's Bobby Boucher when he offers to be his professional water boy. This was Wight's only scene in the movie, though the line "Captain Insano shows no mercy!" delivered later in the movie by Sandler became one of the film's most quotable lines.

Based on the filing's details, it looks like AEW might be trying to add Insano into a future video game. The filing reads, "CAPTAIN INSANO trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of video game cartridges and discs; Digital media, namely, pre-recorded DVDs, downloadable audio and video recordings, and CDs featuring and promoting wrestling; Downloadable video game software; Recorded video game software."

I'd legit mark out if he showed up as Captain Insano for BTE.

Captain Insano as a hidden character for the Dynamite game sounds INCREDIBLE.

[AEW19]

Yeeeeees! Imagine fighting f***ing Captain Insano in the game. That would be tremendous.

Need to get Curry Man in there too.

I never knew I wanted this, but I do now.

One of his signature finishers has to be just laughing at his opponent

[Mozenrath]

I adore this idea.

There is a distinct possibility we could have Captain Insano, Curry Man, and Karate Man in the same game.

Yeah, because he wasn't involved in its production, direction, or writing. Other people can still get something out of Adam Sandler. Anything with a Happy Madison logo is a f***ing sin against god
