Eclipse 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultimo Dugas 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tawren 0 Report post 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".

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 14, 2004 Who the hell was Johnny Nitro before he got that name and where did he come from?

Guest BDC Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
