It just seems like another case of WWE wanting to create their own vacuum where the outside world does not exist. And it's not just the TNA stuff... they totally no-sold his NFL background too. Tazz asked joey if he knew any back story on Mr Cor Von, and Joey was like "Ummmmmmmm.... he's the Alpha Male!" Basically the WWE universe is on an island apart from the rest of the world.

All I know is that I want a promo war between Snitsky and Monty.

If you search WWE.com, they still have the 3 articles on Monty Brown up.

Due to being on the West Coast and the time delay I just saw "Marquis". Was it just me or did his charisma go down by 70 points? And an armbar? WTF happened to the Alpha Bomb?

Come on guys, there can only be ONE Monty in the WWE, and right now that is MONTELL VONTAVIOUS PORTER(MVP).
Is anybody surprised really?
On another note, that music is HORRID, period!

^^^^ You heard wrong
Oh and its possible that maybe they just don't want to mention him being an ex-NFL player? It's not the end of the world and could be better for the character.
How many times did WCW/WWE mention The Cat was a former NFL linebacker? Sometimes it just doesn't need to be mentioned. It's different for a "legit" character (ie...Goldberg) because that builds his character.
The fact that "Marquis Cor Von" never has any history on an NFL team also may change things.

Because according to Vince, wrestling fans are stupid, and can't tell a difference between two different guys named Monty. Or two named Lance. Or two with first names consisting of two letters, where the first letter is C. |

Also we can't have more than two Steves or Stevens, cause we could have Steven/Stevie Richards and Stone Cold Steve Austin co-exist, but GOD FORBID WE CONFUSE PEOPLE and add Steve/Steven Regal to the mix. And we can't have a lot of guys named Michael or Mike either. Oh, and no Brents. All Brents must be named Gunner. |

I don't get why they couldn't just use Monty Brown. When they signed him, they mentioned that name on wwe.com. Exactly. This is more retarded than Kenny Dykstra. I guess its just another way of WWE putting their mark on these guys. Giving them a retarded name even though they're original name is much better. |

Monty Brown is actually a good name, plus they could play off that fact that he had success in the NFL, going to the Super Bowl a couple of times. I really shouldn't be surprised that WWE would not let him use the name. What NFL team did he play for? Also his name sucks.......What kind of name is that??? Why didnt he use the word "pounce"?? No build up at all and of course I hate how they act like the guy is new and never heard of him |

He has that name because WWE can own that if he should ever leave for TNA. The word Pounce was on his tights but, if that isn't gonna be the focus of his offence then why push it? Plus it was one promo, he may break it out later. They have to treat him as a new guy that they never heard of before because there is no other place he could have worked before. |

Well, some black parents sometimes to try and come up with the most unusual ways to spell names, so I wouldn't doubt that somewhere... theres a kid out there named Marquis. SG/SF of the Indiana Pacers Marquis Daniels (pronounced Mar-kees) www.nba.com/playerfile/marquis_daniels/index.html |
