I'm pretty sure he's making fun of him because one of the early TNA PPVs had a promo where Roddy Piper blamed Vince Russo for killing Owen Hart.

Yeah, not exactly a glass house from which it's great to throw stones from, Bob. He works for the company for which nothing is offside. Didn't they crassly bring up Ferguson to further an angle in one of their episodes last year?

I'm not sure if they did this, but they definitely had Kenny King cut a heel promo related to the cops choking Eric Garner to death

I'm a regular in the wrestling & gaming subforum and trust me, it used to be a lot worse back years ago.

One of the mods admitted to downloading child porn multiable times because he got caught and his lame excuse was because he had an addiction to "loading bars". Thankfully he got the boot not much longer because of the Admin/mods being parents and actually realising having a pedo being kept a mod is a very bad and disgusting idea.

There are more things I could say, I just don't know how those forums somehow manages to gather the most weridest/disgusting people imaginable but there you go.

Unless I'm counting wrong Big E Lang-Ston is four syllables and can easily be made into just Big E for an easy two syllable name

And said mod is a St. Louis Cardinals fan and will lecture you on being a good sport and how having passion for your team by taunting the pitcher and being loud is tasteless especially in the playoffs when your team has just got its first playoff run after 21 loving years of losing.

That and he thought Sidney Crosby was not a real leader and that complaining to the refs is being a poor sport. What a jagoff.

Because the type of fan who watches Spoony are often weird people or gamers or young teenagers just cutting their teeth in the forum posting business (for me I joined after leaving The Wotch forums which gives you an idea how dumb 15 year old me was)

And you got to realize those forums would be 1000x worse if they didn't ban political/religious talk because oh boy are there some assholes on that forum who love to thinly veil their freepiness.

Yeah, but the guy's argument was that the 2 to 4 syllable range is the limit for good wrestling names, which is why Hulk Hogan got to keep his name instead of being just Hogan. Randy Savage is also four syllables and is an example he cites specifically as being within range. According to his theory, which lists Rusev, Cesaro and now Adrian Neville, literally every guy who's had one of his names taken away is 5 or more and that's the reason. He conveniently never once mentions Big E Langston, probably because he couldn't think of a totally bullshit excuse for it not fitting his pattern, (or even a non-excuse like an unspoken "exception that proves the rule" like he did Bruno and DiBiase.) I was also amused that he mentioned Bruno but left out Larry Zybyzko who also breaks his dumb theorem.

In the 70s and early 80s. He had one of the most famous/profitable feuds in wrestling history with Bruno. He demanded a ton of money as the feud went on so he was depushed after the feud, left a year later and his career flamed out from there.

He's also a former tag team champion with Tony Garea.
