Eclipse Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Well, of course, the most easily recognizable thing is that the symbol for his name (Nitro) looks exactly like the WCW one. And, here's one I caught right away. For the WCW Revenge fans out there, his theme music is the same as the one used in Revenge, RIGHT AFTER you win a match and the game tallies up your points!
ChrisMWaters Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Eclipse: It was also the ORIGINAL Monday Nitro theme. Also, for those expecting someone with Thunder for their name, hearalding WCW Thunder...don't. Think about it...when has WWE EVER mentioned WCW Thunder? Not even on the Monday Night War DVD!
Eclipse Posted April 14, 2004 Author Report Posted April 14, 2004 Hey, just trying to sell the fact that WCW is gone, and that the WWE bought it.. (Great save)
Ultimo Dugas Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 I noticed it immeadiately as well, and actually marked out a bit. I wonder if they're going to play that up at all with his role as Bischoff's assistant, or just ignore it altogether.
Just call me Dan Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He had me rolling whehn he exclamined "You can't pull one by me, [intense face] I"m Johhny Nitro"!
Vyce Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He should have a few Nitro Girls. Why not? It's not as if they're doing anything useful with Stacy these days.
Tawren Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He should have a few Nitro Girls. See, that is how they should diss WCW. Not with this Confidential "WCW sucked and couldn't push anyone, Bret Hart ruined it, etc." but with witty stuff like Nitro having some Nitro Girls and complaining that they "serve no use to me, now dance for 15 minutes I need to fill some time in my schedule".
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Remeber when Meanie was RAW Boy to make fun of the Nitro Girls thing..

What's at all productive about making fun of a dead company?

Guest Fook Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Lack of productivity has never stopped Vince from doing things. They're either mocking Bischoff or subtly building to the wcw comeback.
CanadianChick Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Anyone else notice that Johnny's facial expressions and interview techniques are eerily like Jericho's?
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 CanadianChick, I've noticed that too. I was thinking that they're using him to hint towards something to do with WCW - you think that he's nothing at the moment, but he means BIG.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Who the hell was Johnny Nitro before he got that name and where did he come from? I remember watching RAW again recently and there he was and I couldn't figure out who the fuck he was. And whatever happened to Test/Stacy?
Jebus Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Jon Hennigan, co-winner of Tough Enough 3 Test and Stacy split...on camera anyway
Guest BDC Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Jon Hennigan, co-winner of Tough Enough 3 Test and Stacy split...on camera anyway According to some news a while back, if they weren't still dating, Test wouldn't be employed. We can only hope... As for Nitro, it's just sucking up, IMO. He's trying to suck up to Bischoff by using some of the hallmarks of Bisch's past.

clean rob Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Who the hell was Johnny Nitro before he got that name and where did he come from? I remember watching RAW again recently and there he was and I couldn't figure out who the fuck he was. I believe he was going by the name of Johnny Blaze for a few weeks.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Johnny Blaze one week, and then Johnny Spade for a couple of weeks or so and now Johnny Nitro.
clean rob Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Johnny SPADE? I don't remember that. Who the fuck thought that was a good name?
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He was Johnny Blaze the first week, and then Johnny Spade until Lillian Garcia announced that he wants to be announced in future as "Johnny Nitro". They sound alike. I don't know about the name quality, clean rob - slick, I guess.
Youth N Asia Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 I thought this was going to be a post on the fact that he gets zero crowd pop. They should have done more backstage bits before sticking him in front of a crowd.
humongous2002 Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He was Johnny Blaze the first week, and then Johnny Spade until Lillian Garcia announced that he wants to be announced in future as "Johnny Nitro". They sound alike. I don't know about the name quality, clean rob - slick, I guess. You mean he started as Ghost Rider??????
EdwardKnoxII Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He was Johnny Blaze the first week, and then Johnny Spade until Lillian Garcia announced that he wants to be announced in future as "Johnny Nitro". They sound alike. I don't know about the name quality, clean rob - slick, I guess. You mean he started as Ghost Rider?????? Yes, yes he did. Johnny just rid himself of the demon. In a few weeks he's going to find out that he can shoot hellfire thru a shotgun and that the current Ghost Rider is his long lost brother. Anyways, you know what's funny. When he came on with that name I almost had a feeling that they would have him pretend that he's Ghost Rider and have him a wearing a Ghost Rider outfit with an awful looking flaming skull.
EdwardKnoxII Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 He should have a few Nitro Girls. Why not? It's not as if they're doing anything useful with Stacy these days. And don't forget HBK is married to one. I forget her name.
