This is me as I make another great post


Good luck with your depression!
The names are really the funniest part. The most famous Ivar in viking lore is Ivar The Boneless, a dude who historians argue over whether he was a legit paraplegic or whether his dick didn't work.

Eric is already the name of a dude who's already on the main roster and who formerly had a viking gimmick

i hope this is like when every tag-team had to have TEAM in front of their name (so that you knew they were a TEAM) and we end up getting the Pirate Experience, Cowboy Experience, Astronaut Experience. The possibilities really are endless.

Nah, Rowan doesn't have a first name anymore.

Speaking of which, is there any explanation why why the Bludgeon Brothers just... aren't anymore? Harper's back in his Wyatt gear, and Rowan just kind vanished into thin air after Dbry ate it.

The Viking Experience is an extremely stupid name, but its it any dumber than the following names:

The Fabulous Ones
The Killer Bees
The Bodydonnas
Tekno Team 2000
PG-13
The Corre
Like 50 "Expresses"

Vince: I'm sick of these midgets, I wish I had somebody who was tall, had a distinct look, is tall, can go in the ring, is tall, is an interesting character, and is tall.
Harper clears throat
Vince: Yeah but not you though.

Outside of The Fabulous Ones I'm pretty sure I remember all those names being mocked too! My friends and I used to giggle at what a silly name The Killer Bees were :)

The viking experience sounds like Vince stole it from the side of a van at the Rowe/Logan wedding.

Rowan got injured then Harper decided to get surgery and wwe decided we no longer needed the Bludgeon Experience

...Did anyone accept even a single thing about The Corre on, like, any level? I've never heard anyone even ironically try and defend anything at all about that. The name is such a low hanging fruit really.

People had a lot of fun with Wade Barrett's complete disdain for the name as well, as he'd frequently make jokes blaming Heath Slater for loving it up when they sent him to do all the paperwork etc.

I wonder if every time THE VIKING EXPERIENCE is on, one of the announcers is going to point out that "They live the Viking lifestyle!"

So having not watched Raw, I'm guessing The Viking Experience was a bunch of big burly Scandinavian men with beards and weapons attacking the arena, looting and pillaging, and dragging off the various maidens of WWE back to their longboats? :confused:

At least with that, most people just referred to them as Sasha and Bayley. Nobody is going to be saying,"Erik and Ivar!" when they could be constantly saying (in all caps) THE VIKING EXPERIENCE and then roaring with laughter like the crowd in Life of Brian demanding various people with R's in their names be freed.
