Was that David Flair titantron with Ric looking disappointed his actual genuine titantron or did someone just make it as a joke?

Do you have any idea how easily you could have simply searched "david flair titantron" and found out for yourself

The short answer is "yes", but there's a caveat in that hte version you've probably seen is fan-edited, extended, and has extra footage of David and Ric

Undertaker's chair-into-throat slam was awesome and I wish someone would use it.


I thought Vince really wanted the DeadMan Taker back so that was a major reason for it returning.

Actually bc of all the fan versions you cite here it's not so easy to know it's legit from a Google search as you demonstrated yourself

But yes the David Flair titantron that is just his name, him standing around, and Ric Flair looking underwhelmed is the legit one used in his one WWE match

I'm guessing someone must have made it as a rib on David. I would call it the worst titantron and theme ever, but given it's David Flair it's actually kind of perfect

I just figured it was because they did as much as they could with BikerTaker. He had a face run, a heel run, won the Undisputed title. After 3 years it was time to freshen his character up.

I had to look up what Willow was, but I had seen that promotional photo of Jeff Hardy in a "Tim Burton on a high school musical budget" mask carrying a parasol.

The funniest thing was that robe with the skulls on it. I couldn't believe how low-budget it was.

TNA sold those parasols in their store. For sixty dollars.

I laughed until I coughed. If you told me they were selling the robes, I'd probably be dead now. (Seriously, it looks like something a teenage girl would make for a Vampire LARP, using her mom's sewing machine and readymade patterned fabric from Wal-Mart.)

What does a parasol have to do with being a living nWo-themed tree?

I hate to speculate, but I believe Jeff Hardy's brain may be destroyed by years of concussions and hard drug abuse

and it's not like the guy was a genius before that

It helped making him seem as fay as possible (which I think was the point? At the very least I'm sure it's a point).

Teenage girls were always Jeff's bread-and-butter demographic (except for mid 2010 into 2011 when he was a heel and in the worsg shape of his life and his drug problem had really gotten out of hand)

Willow/Jeff are also notable for being one of the few popular TNA guys to not have a horrible ripoff theme for his entire run.

Willow was a champion in Battlarts back in 1998 when he was a jobber in WWF.

For those wondering, Battlarts is a shoot-fighting style wrestling promotion.

With champion Willow The Wisp.

Battlarts was more of a hybrid of shoot style with everything else tbh. Idk if he was a champion, I thought he was just a job guy, although it's still weird as hell to imagine him being there at all.

edit: actually I don't think Battlarts had titles at all

Thought you said Battletart, and I'll be honest, I'd enjoy seeing a Battletart character.
