Austin Theory's Favorite Fighting Game Characters

[Injustice45]

"When I was a child, around 8 years old, I started watching wrestling on TV and I would have done anything to practice 'trampoline wrestling' in the garden," said Theory, the reigning Mister Money in the Bank, who then continued: "One of my friends had a PSP, I don't know if it still exists, I'm not a video game lover, but this friend of mine had an interesting game, namely Tekken and there was a character named Brandon Fury (actually the name is Bryan, but we report the news as it was given, with Theory probably getting confused) and I was shocked by the fantastic name it had.

So I thought, "I must have a cool name too" but I couldn't remove Austin, which is my real name (Austin White) but I didn't want to copy Fury, so I looked for something that rhymes with this name and I found Theory, so I said, 'Okay, I'll call myself Austin Theory.'

He likes Koala way more than Ursa.

Probably gets confused when Nina and Anna don’t start playing tennis at any point.

Austin Theory's a weird one, but I guess this isn't that much different from Lex Luger apparently basing his name on Lex Luthor.

Austin Theory might wonder why Lars Alexanderssen is Swedish but only speaks Japanese.

That lil dude in Soul Calibur 4! Boba! I love that lil guy!

I guarantee he’s mistaken that briefcase for a sandwich on numerous occasions.

I'm trying to guess who Liv's favourite Tekken character is since she's a big fan of video games (and scary movies). I'm thinking Lili or Lucky Chloe.

So him playing a himbo in The Way wasn't entirely an act then?

No wonder he was so damn good at it.

Fury and Theory are terrible rhymes. This boy is not smart.

That part just gets me.

Literally like "we know this dude's wrong as f*** but he won't stop insisting"

That's not quite the full story of where Lex originally got the idea for the name from. He broke into the business when Magnum PI was the big TV show, and thought if Tom Selleck was Magnum, then he'd be a Luger (both types of guns)

He went by Luger for a while and was asked to come up with a first name, and he put everything in front of it, eventually (As you mentioned) finding "Lex" in a Superman comic.


So yeah, it's even closer to the Austin Theory origin story than one might of guessed.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

Given how lame he is, he probably likes Hsu Hao.

We nearly had Austin Slurry, boys.

Theory meeting Bryan Danielson: "Hey, Brandon Danielson, can I get a selfie?"
