I guess they felt they needed more PIZAZZ (read: pizza) and gave them the paint/spiked armor stuff. Personally, Victor should have just kept the contacts he wore, those were nifty. Had a pair similar to those years ago and they hurt like fook after about 30 minutes, probably why he doesn't continue with them I guess.

Either way, they seem fresh and should get some steam. Other than a weak finisher, they are pretty good. Their finisher is a leg sweep with a faux lariat :|

1000x this.

Like I said before, if they're going to do the generic "big man/face paint/gimmicky spikey costume" types, they need names more menacing than Konnor and Viktor.

Also, they would do good to rip off the Decapitation Elbow. It looks better than the Fall of Man, and it's based on what they do, not how the guy takes it.

Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling Superbrawl! Coming to a high school across the street! Featuring Buff "The Stuff" Bagwell and Hacksaw Jim Duggan......I'm probably gonna go just to see Hacksaw.

You know Buff is the stuff don't lie sir.

How would that be Satanic? Blasphemous maybe?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh and Hacksaw is gonna be there too? Sweet.

On the menu for tonight's dinner, Leftover Dirtsheets:


May or may not be related to the recent news about Rey Mysterio likely done with WWE after Mania.




Spoiler tag used since it covers a possible surprise Rumble entrant this year and is a big name.

Going through Royal Rumble Marathon on WWE Network. I'm at 2005. How the hell did WWE think Heidenreich was worthy of going one on one with da UNDERTAKERRR playa?

You should have put that spoiler ahead of the tags. I thought it related to the bit about Mysterio.

Sorry about that, moved the spoiler news to the end.

Does this mean he done doing news with his daughter? :(

Just been informed this is from a parody account :$

I don't even mind the names Connor and Viktor. It just seems like they're big, bad monsterous guys, with dark, gothic gimmicks, they growl and grunt and they're gonna kill whoever's in the ring, and then they get on the mic and they compare themselves to the Road Warriors. It makes them sound like high-school drama teens.

I put it like this. You're in the back of an office, doing whatever. A coworker comes in and says "Some dude named Konnor is here saying you owe his boss money." You'd come out expecting a guy who looks like, at worst, a bro.

Same situation, but a coworker comes in and says "Some dude named Ax is here saying you owe his boss money." You're not going to come out at all.

They shouldn't have mentioned the Road Warriors at all. Whoever told them to do that should be fired. However, if they absolutely HAD to mention them you could do it as a way of "Road Warriors were the toughest team of their time. But this is our time. And if you thought they were bad... you ain't seen nothing yet!"

It all depends on how you say the name. Bryon Saxton was able to say KONNOR with it sounding bad ass. Shut up about his fucking name.

They also have fucking badass music! Their music is the kinda music that should randomly interrupt people like it did on Raw, and the instant reaction is that "holy shit, someone's gonna get fucked up".

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/AXZ6NyTNtS4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Instead their fucking awesomely badass theme hits, they come out looking like jacked up monsters ready to totally annihilate whoever's in the ring with absolutely no nonsense, and their attire is totally like some Egyptian-God-Worshipping cult who's gonna fucking rip you apart all in the name of Anubis or something crazy.

And then it's like "... we're the best team ever!!!".

Just another one of those examples where WWE completely and utterly baffles. Ascension were the most dominant team in NXT since the beginning, yet they appear on Raw and some genius in the back has totally decided to go a different direction with them than what got them over.

They should change their names to Rip & Shred. That might make them more palatable to Vas.

sounds like a feral druid

Actually, it would.

Konnor and Viktor are fine! I'd understand Vastardikai if they were called Steve and Mike.

Never happened on NXT, but past two weeks on WWE television, I keep thinking that CM Punk is coming out when I hear the initial screech of the song....

I surprised we aren't talking about HHH's consoling of a kid he upset on Raw, giving him free merch, and then taking him backstage after the show to meet the wrestlers. I'd find the pics and post them, but I'm in my phone and can't be assed.

All I knew about was the consoling part. Pretty awesome the other bits.

That's a link to the story :y:

I wasn't being facetious. Well, not much. I kinda liked their "Born and bred to rip and shred" line, it'd work on a tshirt and it'd also work as names in the vein of Ax and Smash (and Krush).

Lol rr 2011

Santinos going to Wrestlemania...

Nope

Santino should have gone to WrestleMania. Twice, actually.
