No, but that didn't stop him from making an impact on WWE in 2007.

Possibly a silly question, but does WWE have to pay royalties to Paul Leka's estate every time they sing the chorus of 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' on a show? Or is it public domain?

Do you think that Sting will be able to use the Scorpion Death Lock, or will he just stick to the Stinger Splash because the death lock is "Bret and Owen's move?"

edit: I mean will they call it the death lock or the sharpshooter? I know other wrestlers do it, but they don't call it the "scorpion lock"

Yeah, but they called it the sharpshooter, not the death lock. Nobody says the ura-nage slam, they call it the Rock Bottom or Bookend

It will be called the Scorpion Deathlock when he does it, even if they also describe it as a sharpshooter.

So tonight was literally the first time I've seen Jamie Noble wrestle since I started watching again. Was he ever worth a drat when he was active and does he have any matches worth checking out?

In WWE he had a fairly good run as cruiserweight champion with an awesome match with I think Billy Kidman at survivor series 02

He probably won't do it at all, since they had him do the Death Drop to Triple H.

I hope Sting doesn't do the Scorpion Deathlock because he's about as good at it as the Miz is at the figure-four.

Quite possibly, since they'd potentially be open to a suit if they didn't. I know of a local newscaster who almost brought a suit down on her station for accidentally singing one line of "Happy Birthday."

The Scorpion Deathlock kinda loses its luster when the likes of Tyson Kidd are using it in a career-revival push.

I won't be surprised if the Death Drop on HHH was the only wrestling move Sting did until the Rumble.

When Vader was in the WWF, the commentators always called him 'The Man They Call Vader' (that or 'The Mastodon'), was that a reference to Sting?

As far as live crowds, WWE is probably protected, a la FCC violations.

The commentary was funny. The bit about time having passed them by. Meanwhile Noble is Cena's age and Mercury is a couple years younger.

Retired through injury sometimes just means they couldn't do a full wwe impact schedule however a one off apperance/match is ok. I think Mercury just retired as they had nothing for him in ring so became an agent. Noble had back issues but a lot of wrestlers who stop through back issues find once they're not bumping 3/4 nights a week they get a lot better.

They're "protected" from FCC violations by being on cable. It has nothing to do with the live crowds.

Jamie Noble consistently had awesome matches on Velocity because nobody cared about that show so the cruisers just tore it up every week.

Noble's matches with Tajiri were really good too, and it led to the Nidia blinding angle which allowed Noble to really shine as a dirtbag heel.
