Guest RevEvil Report post Posted May 16, 2002 What's the point of changing the title names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Risk Report post Posted May 16, 2002 I like those names better. Bottom line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 16, 2002 I thought the One Man Gang died and had become Akeem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Risk Report post Posted May 16, 2002 One Man Gang was a good gimmick, while Akeem was crap. Also take note of this, the Big Bossman is now just The Bossman, and he dresses like Ray Traylor in WCW. They also aren't called the Twin Towers. Keep in mind that this post is just a prototype(not the wrestler). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
