This is stupid:

 

-- F4WOnline.com reports that Vince McMahon was behind the decision to repackage SmackDown's Major Brothers.

 

The WWE Chairman only learned that the two were not really related several weeks ago, says the story. Upon learning that they were lifelong friends, rather than brothers, McMahon was "stunned and frustrated," contending that the current fans would not accept a fake sibling gimmick.

 

He pushed creative to meet with the team and develop new names, hence the wrestlers are now Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

 

Their current affiliation with Edge came about after creative followed through on McMahon's directive. Their individual personalities should come out over the course of the gimmick.

 

Anyone want to break the news to Vince that the Valiant Brothers (James Fanning and John L. Sullivan) weren't really brothers? Or that the Dudley Boyz (Devon Hughes and Mark Lomonica) aren't really brothers?

Really, Vince? THAT's what current fans won't accept? They'll accept Deadmen, leprechauns, worm-eating Boogeymen, Samoan Bulldozers, and Punjabi Giants, but "fake brothers" are the last straw???

People will accept ANYTHING in wrestling if they like the characters involved.

He is still paralyzed in both arms and both legs, but has begun to get feeling back in all four extremities. The official diagnosis was that he suffered a spinal stroke. He collapsed in a hotel room on Friday, October 19 when he was in San Francisco for a wrestling convention. Luger spent several weeks at Stamford Hospital before being flown back to Georgia.

Smackdown! spoiler for tonight.

 

Rey Mysterio wins the beat the clock challenge to win a title shot at the Royal Rumble.

 

Both title matches could be very good matches.

He was the key to the bWo.

His Raven's Flunky stuff was great.

In less than four minutes, someone edited the midget's Wikipedia page to say he was going to the Rumble.

 

I only checked because I said, "Are there really people like that?"

 

And there are.

 

That's f***ed up.

 

"Oh, wrestling! Let's type it into Wikipedia!"

 

But who am I to talk?

 

"Oh, McMahon's son/terrible gimmick and Mick Foley win -- I wonder if there are people who are just waiting to update Wikipedia with this s***?"

 

Fail.
