LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 I don't *think* this has been posted yet. If it has...sorry...CREDIT: Today's Observer online update Nova will be working under his real name of Mike Bucci on the Raw tour this week. He's at this point scheduled for a face slot teaming with John Heidenreich vs. Rob Conway & Rene Dupree in Youngstown, and a heel slot against Spike Dudley in Dayton.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted January 29, 2004 OMG, Jon Hedeinreich is still employed by WWE? I thought for sure he would be finished after his "mistakes." Besides, the bastard already looks like he's forty! If Nova is going to wrestle under his real name, WWE might as well release him. How can you market "Mike Bucci" or make the name seem intimidating?

Guest Coffey Report post Posted January 29, 2004 That's not a good idea. What could it possibly accomplish? The Undertaker gets to go over four men instead of three? It's not like the F.B.I. are used now as a three man group. Adding in "Mike" isn't going to help the cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he'll pull a Spanky, by demanding he be allowed to use his gimmick, and then get depushed back to Dark Matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Is Mike Bucci a cousin of Jamie Noble? I'm with Bucci. LOL Come on that would be funny. He is all crazy and has some jobber follow him around doing everything he says. SMELL THE RATINGS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 How hard would it be to use a guy named fuckin Nova, and who used to dress up in a superhero costume as either Hurricane's ally or nemesis? Jesus Christ, they really do have some fuckin idiots working up there don't they? This is just common sense stuff folks. Also, a little off topic........I wonder why Stevie was down at 3PW for the BWO reunion but Nova wasn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Because Stevie is all about entertainment and Nova is all about whining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jimbo Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Eh, let him come onto Raw as the "evil super villian", Nova, and have him fued with the Hurricane or something :-/ Then again, once that's done, he won't have anything to do besides be jobber #14, but Hurricane's headed in that direction anyway, so atleast he'll have a super hero friend to keep him company...

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 If they aren't going to use the Nova name and have a heel superhero, what the hell is the point of putting him on Raw? Surely the only point of having Nova as Mike Bucci would be to put on semi decent matches on Velocity (which is where you KNOW he'd end up). On Raw, with a bland name and persona, he'd be below Hurricane and Spike Dudley in the "small person" pecking order, and it's not like those two are setting the world on fire. Also, is it true that they made him cut his hair? God, that must look terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LLSmoothJ Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Also, is it true that they made him cut his hair? God, that must look terrible. It's true. Stephanie told him to cut it because he "looked too much like Triple H." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephanie told him to cut it because he "looked too much like Triple H." I suppose that's fair. If I was watching TV and out comes Nova, I'm obviously going to think "Shit, that's Triple H!!! He's gotten much thinner, less muscley, is moving faster than normal and has changed his name! What's going on? Where's Evolution?" Nice to know they aren't insulting our intelligence.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Is Mike Bucci a cousin of Jamie Noble? Not that I know of, but his identical twin Donnie B is a manager on the independent circuit. Also, yes, Nova's Italian. Also, yes, it would be a great character for WWE...but Vince hadn't thought of it, so don't count on it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Deviant Report post Posted January 30, 2004 After all these years in OVW, I doubt that we'd even recognise Nova. From his look to his potential to his gimmick, it'll all be gone by the time he shows up on TV, if ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 I too think it is stupid that the WWE won't let anyone besides primadonna stars use a gimmick that they have already established before coming to WWE. To answer the Bucci/Noble relation question, they are not related. I grew up about 15 minutes from James Gibson (Jamie Noble), and he has no relatives in wrestling.
