TheInsane 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 "The Big Valbowski" always seemed pretty lame to me. Wasn't that his actual name for a while? I was all over that one at first too. Yes, they actually changed it from Val Venis to The Big Valbowski for a while after he went back to the porn star gimmick after that run as Sean Morley.

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2006 General Hugh E. Rection I believe it was Hugh G Rection. I really dug Heenan tagging Goldberg as "Da Man". He made it sound so convincing. "Big Sexy" is seriously the worst. Hearing little kids scream that and wear it on T- shirts with Nash doing his lazy pose were really pathetic days of WCW.

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 Best nickname is Jake "The Snake' Roberts I never understood why Vader was called "Big Van" Vader. Could anyone explain that one to me?

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 Best nickname is Jake "The Snake' Roberts I never understood why Vader was called "Big Van" Vader. Could anyone explain that one to me? I always assumed it was "Big" Van Vader and Van was supposed to be his first name or something. But he is pretty wide I thought it stemmed from the fact that Van Vader was a Anime character that they based his gimmick off of, like Jushin Lyger, and put Big in front to distinguish him from said Anime.

Guest ken adams Report post Posted May 31, 2006 Bad: Any name that used the middle initial as an extension of the first name: Paul E. Dangerously. Any name that tried to have clever wordplay: Justin Credible. But "Big Sexy" was the worst. I don't care if you think you're sexy, what I want to know is, if you can you bash someone's head in, apply a power bomb, or survive a "finger poke of doom"?

evilhomer 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2006 Apologies for pissing on a warm grave, but I always hated "Latino Heat". Mostly because of fucking Lawler and his annoying voice and manner, the fact that it stemmed from an angle with Chyna (Eddy was golden but Chyna was.... Chyna), and, personal opinion, I simply thought it was stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
