LucharesuFan619 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Interestingly, I think Nova was just married six days ago (on the 24th). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 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. I thought Knoble's real name was Jamie Howard. Or is "Howard" a ring name, too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notJames 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 It is Howard. And the Jamie/Nova cousin question was a joke. Kinda like how Nunzio was Jamie's "cousin" when he first started working for Vince. (I think.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humongous2002 0 Report post Posted January 30, 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? If he's Italian, making him a member of the FBI? He could be Big Bucci. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 What's his finisher now that he can't use The Kryptonite Krunch? A enziguri? He did this running bulldog where he drove someone's face onto his knee that I saw on Velocity, but probably that's just a regular move. Maybe they could let him use the Spin Doctor, though.

notJames 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Now that Edge doesn't use it anymore, he can use Novacaine (Downward Spiral)... unless Steiner has any objections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted January 30, 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." 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. Remember when they renamed Shane Helms so we wouldn't confuse him with Shane McMahon? That was the dumbest one ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandy 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2004 James Howard Gibson Jamie Howard was his first ringname. James Gibson is his name. He actually went by the nickname "Doodle" when he was in high school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Steven Regal --> William Regal is just as bad. Oddly, Richards didn't get renamed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kardo 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2004 Well considering Nova invented marketing and the first place. On a more serious note let the real name trend continue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
