FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I had never heard it until dude made such a big deal out of it sucking. So I DLed it, and it was meh. I could probably get into Elastica if I tried, but I don't know if I want to take the time to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toxxic 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 So is that where the 'Sandman' came from? Because he was a surfer, and therefore associated with sand? I mean, I'm sure I've seen a picture of him from mid-90s wearing a Neil Gaiman Sandman T-shirt, and I sort of figured that the gimmick and name always came from the 'sleep' Sandman idea rather than anything else. But it looks like I was wrong in the worst way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2006 Yeah, he was basically a beach bum kind of guy to start with. Sort of evolved the same way that Tommy Dreamer started out as a "pretty boy" and became "extreme" eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2006 well you gotta conisder that sandman started in the biz before ecw came along and therefore it was the early 90s with gimmicks running wild, especially on the indy scene. the surfer/beach bum gimmick had been done ot death by then in various promotions. weird that he never changed his name though huh? though I doubt we could ever picture his rise to fame without the song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
