haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2005 Could someone give me some background on MNM? What kind of gimmicks or characters do they use? What do they use for a finisher? What kind of style do they use? I know the few times I saw Johnny Nitro wrestle, he was extremely acrobatic, so I'm hoping he hasn't lost that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of style do they use? I know the few times I saw Johnny Nitro wrestle, he was extremely acrobatic, so I'm hoping he hasn't lost that. The gimmick is a "Hollywood Hotshots" type thing. They come to the ring in OVW with a red carpet and "paparazzi" that snap pictures of them. They are a really good pesky heel tag team in that they're smaller, so they can bump like crazy to make the faces look good, and usually cheat a lot to take over and win a match.

haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2005 Thanks for the info JoeDirt. I hope they get a fair amount of ring time tonight, though I have a feeling with Eddy's heel turn being inevitable, they'll get hotshotted into holding the tag titles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shadow Report post Posted April 13, 2005 I'm glad to see they finally gave these guys the smackdown spot they deserve and it appears they are already being hotshot into a real program already. I don't like the M-N-M name however. I would have liked to seen a Hollywood Blondes style name like Hollywood Express. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2005 At one point, it appeared Matt Cappoteli may have been replacing Joey Matthews in MNM as several agents had suggested putting Johnny Nitro and Cappotelli together. A number of people in the company pushed for the Matthews/Johnny Nitro duo to stay together including Tommy Dreamer, Dave Lagana and Paul Heyman. Vince McMahon was said to have made the decision to keep the two together with Melina for the Smackdown brand. According to one source, the saving grace for the team may have been Rey Misterio putting over how much he was looking forward to working with the team. -- PWInsider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
