The Xbox One was named that so people would call it "The One," which they did not

My theory is that MS was hoping to change all their products to have ‘One’ branding for the shift to ‘living’ software. SkyDrive was renamed to OneDrive and the Xbox One’s name was announced before Windows 10’s name was finalised. Presumably Windows 10 was going to be Windows One before the Xbox One’s name was widely panned.

I have the world’s dullest conspiracy theories.

Software that keeps the same name and branding despite constant changes through updates, I’d assume. Like Chrome or Firefox, both of which are way different from their 1.0 releases but never had a hard break from updates.

Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, used to do things like that in actual real life. Why he was in character at a convenience store the last time I saw him I will never know. His son Michael went to school with me and my brothers.

Kayfabe was serious business in those days. When you were anywhere someone outside the business could see you, you were your character. Back in 1987, for example, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Iron Sheik were traveling a car together, and they got pulled over. Hacksaw was a face and Sheik was a heel and them being seen as "hanging out" IRL (they weren't actually friendly, which is what makes this story even goofier) was a gigantic breach of the pretty carefully-maintained wrestling fiction.

At least during his original WWF run he was given a bunch of cash to carry around when out in public to keep up kayfabe.
